Long-term Evolution of a Supernova Remnant Hosting a Double Neutron Star Binary
Authors: Matsuoka Tomoki , Lee Shiu-Hang , Maeda Keiichi , Takiwaki Tomoya , Moriya Takashi J.
Published: May 2022

An ultra-stripped supernova (USSN) is a type of core-collapse supernova explosion proposed to be a candidate formation site of a double neutron star (DNS) binary. We investigate the dynamical evolution of an ultra-stripped supernova remnant (USSNR), which should host a DNS at its center. By accounting for the mass-loss history of the progenitor binary using a model developed by a previous study, we construct the large-scale structure of the circumstellar medium (CSM) up to a radius ∼100 pc, and simulate the explosion and subsequent evolution of a USSN surrounded by such a CSM environment. We find that the CSM encompasses an extended region characterized by a hot plasma with a temperature ∼108 K located around the termination shock of the wind from the progenitor binary (∼10 pc), and the USSNR blast wave is drastically weakened while penetrating through this hot plasma. Radio continuum emission from a young USSNR is sufficiently bright to be detectable if it inhabits our galaxy but faint compared to the observed Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs), and thereafter declines in luminosity through adiabatic cooling. Within our parameter space, USSNRs typically exhibit a low radio luminosity and surface brightness compared to the known Galactic SNRs. Due to the small event rate of USSNe and their relatively short observable life span, we calculate that USSNRs account for only ∼0.1%–1% of the total SNR population. This is consistent with the fact that no SNR hosting a DNS binary has been discovered in the Milky Way so far.

Published: May 2022

Circular-ribbon flares (CFs) are a special type of solar flares owing to their particular magnetic topology. In this paper, we conducted a comprehensive statistical analysis of 134 CFs from 2011 September to 2017 June, including 4 B-class, 82 C-class, 40 M-class, and 8 X-class flares. The flares were observed by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft. The physical properties of CFs are derived, including the location, area (A
CF), equivalent radius (r
CF) assuming a semispherical fan dome, lifetime (τ
CF), and peak soft X-ray (SXR) flux in 1–8 Å. It is found that all CFs are located in active regions, with the latitudes between −30° and 30°. The distributions of areas and lifetimes could be fitted with a lognormal function. There is a positive correlation between the lifetime and area. The peak SXR flux in 1–8 Å is well in accord with a power-law distribution with an index of −1.42. For the 134 CFs, 57% of them are accompanied by remote brightenings or ribbons. A positive correlation exists between the total length (L
RB) and average distance (D
RB) of remote brightenings. About 47% and 51% of the 134 CFs are related to type III radio bursts and jets, respectively. The association rates are independent of flare energies. About 38% of CFs are related to minifilament eruptions, and the association rates increase with flare classes. Only 28% of CFs are related to coronal mass ejections (CMEs), meaning that a majority of them are confined rather than eruptive events. There is a positive correlation between the CME speed and peak SXR flux in 1–8 Å, and faster CMEs tend to be wider.
Discovery of the Closest Saturnian Irregular Moon, S/2019 S 1, and Implications for the Direct/Retrograde Satellite Ratio
Authors: Ashton Edward , Gladman Brett , Beaudoin Matthew , Alexandersen Mike , Petit Jean-Marc
Published: May 2022

We present a tracked orbit for a recently discovered 25th magnitude irregular moon of Saturn, using Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope imaging. Our 2 yr of observational arc on the moon leads to an orbit with a semimajor axis of 11.2 million kilometers and an inclination of 44 deg. This makes it one of the smallest Saturnian irregular moon orbits known and puts the moon in the Inuit group. This moon is also a magnitude brighter than the faintest known Saturnian irregulars. We show that the moon’s small semimajor axis results in it spending most of the time lost in the glare of the often-nearby planet, thus explaining how it escaped detection in previous surveys. We postulate that the disparity in the known inventory with more retrograde than direct irregular moons is partly due to the selection bias against finding the direct moons (whose groupings have smaller semimajor axis).

La thématique de l’insertion professionnelle des diplômés de l’enseignement supérieur, facteur d’évolution du management universitaire ? Les paradoxes d’une injonction
Authors: Crozet Paul , Morgand Audrey
Published: May 2022

Pour les universités, la question de l’insertion professionnelle des diplômés est devenue une priorité comme la transmission des savoirs et la recherche. Cette mission impose la création de structures dans chaque établissement. Des enquêtes ministérielles sont menées. Les taux d’insertion sont calculés et deviennent des objectifs de gestion. Le but de la recherche est de comprendre les transformations et les conséquences organisationnelles de la mise à l’agenda universitaire de cet enjeu public, notamment l’émergence des dispositifs de mesure via les enquêtes d’insertion professionnelle. Les résultats sont issus d’études de cas dans trois universités sur 15 mois. L’approche est qualitative. Cet article montre comment la question de l’insertion professionnelle interpelle la communauté universitaire. Le management universitaire se teinte de paradoxes entre une autonomie proclamée et des dispositifs de contrôle, entre pilotage centralisé et fonctionnement par réseaux au niveau des composantes.
Modalités du contre-transfert du groupe de thérapeutes dans la clinique du trauma
Authors: Laroche-Joubert Mathilde
Published: May 2022

Face à la mise en place de plus en plus fréquente de dispositifs thérapeutiques de groupe pour accueillir les patients traumatisés, nous nous sommes intéressés aux spécificités du contre-transfert de groupes de thérapeutes. Cette recherche qualitative est réalisée à partir de focus groups auxquels des entretiens de recherche filmés mère-bébé ont été diffusés. Le matériel a été étudié à partir d’une double méthode d’analyse : une analyse phénoménologique interprétative (Smith, 2009) et une analyse psychanalytique de la dynamique groupale. Les résultats de notre étude mettent en lumière les potentialités créatives d’un dispositif composé d’une équipe interprétante, dans la prise en charge des patients traumatisés, imposant la reconnaissance et l’analyse des éléments contre-transférentiels et inter-transférentiels.

A new hybrid form of the skew-t distribution: estimation methods comparison via Monte Carlo simulation and GARCH model application
Authors: Adubisi Obinna D. , Abdulkadir Ahmed , Adubisi Chidi. E.
Published: May 2022

In this work, estimating the exponentiated half logistic skew-t model parameters using some classical estimation procedures is considered. The finite sample performance of the EHLST parameter estimates is examined through extensive Monte Carlo simulations. The ordering performance of the six criterions was based on the partial and overall ranks of the estimation procedures for all parameter combinations. The criterions performance ordering from finest to poorest, using the overall ranks is maximum likelihood, maximum product of spacing, Anderson-Darling, Cramer-von Mises, least squares and weighted least squares estimators for all the parameter combinations. The simulation results confirm the dominance of the maximum likelihood estimation method over other methods with the least overall rank but shows that the maximum product of spacing is most advantageous when the sample size is 200. More so, the EHLST model efficacy is demonstrated through its application on Nigeria inflation rates dataset using the maximum likelihood and maximum product of spacing estimation procedures. Furthermore, the volatility modeling of the Nigeria inflation log-returns using the GARCH-type models with the EHLST innovation density relative to ten commonly used innovation densities validates the superiority of the GARCH (1, 1) and GJRGARCH (1, 1) models with EHLST innovation density in both in-sample and out-samples performance over other models.
Communautés imaginées et reconnaissance républicaine : la diaspora asiatique en France
Authors: Wang Jing
Published: May 2022

Tantôt désignée comme exotique, aux contours et contenu imprécis, à usage touristique ou commercial, tantôt « modèle d’intégration et de citoyenneté », tantôt pont culturel et ambassadrice économique vers la Chine et l’Asie, « la plus grande communauté asiatique d’Europe » s’est construit une identité publique d’une réelle efficacité dans l’imagerie populaire, les stratégies politiques des autorités françaises et celles de ses propres leaders. Cet article (suivi d’un portfolio) s’intéresse à trois types de situation — les évènements culturels et les réceptions officielles à l’occasion du Nouvel an chinois ; le projet d’Arche de la Fraternité au lieu et place d’une traditionnelle Porte de Chinatown ; et les répercussions de la crise sanitaire sur cette communauté. Il contribue à une interrogation de fond sur cette diaspora d’origine asiatique, en quête de reconnaissance, encouragée par le traitement d’exception dont elle a pu bénéficier de la part des dirigeants politiques, de gauche comme de droite, au cours des dernières décennies. Cette reconnaissance, accordée et reçue comme un privilège, est-elle pérenne ou demeure-t-elle une construction fragile, dépendante du contexte interne ou international à la France ?
Représentations de l’Europe et intégration régionale : le rôle des migrants qualifiés originaires des nouveaux États membres en France

Cet article contribue aux recherches sur l’intégration régionale en Europe en abordant ce processus par le bas : nous cherchons à savoir comment l’espace européen est perçu et socialement construit par un type de population en particulier, les migrants qualifiés originaires des nouveaux États membres (NEM) de l’Union européenne en France. Nous nous appuyons sur une enquête par entretiens semi-directifs réalisée à Nancy entre août 2019 et mars 2020 auprès de vingt-quatre migrants. L’analyse croisée de deux types de données, des cartes mentales et des entretiens semi-directifs, permet d’esquisser une typologie des représentations de l’Europe des migrants qualifiés des NEM qui met en évidence trois rapports à l’Europe différenciés en fonctions des caractéristiques sociales des enquêtés et de leur parcours migratoire.

Published: May 2022

This study presents a numerical method for optimizing the quantity and the placement of reinforcements along the principal-stress trajectories. The model representing carbon fiber composite structures consists of solids and embedded one-dimensional beam elements. Based on the Runge-Kutta method, the reinforcing structure is optimized considering the manufacturability of additive manufacturing (AM). For a case study, the optimization method is performed on an open-hole specimen. The Young’s modulus and the tensile strength of the optimized structure show an increase of more than 30 % and ~50 % in the simulation, respectively, compared to the reference specimen from another study. Robotic additive manufacturing is used to fabricate the specimen for experimental validation. The prediction of absolute values of tensile strength are reliable comparing to the experimental test, however, there is a deviation of more than 30 % in the linear-elastic behavior possibly due to the presence of voids in the printed part.
Influence and Modeling of Loading Frequency on Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Thermally-Aging HTPB Coating
Authors: Du Yong Qiang , Zheng Jian , Liu Ya Hao
Published: May 2022

For the sake of studying the influence of loading frequency on the hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) coating’s dynamic mechanical properties during aging, the one month’s thermal accelerated aging test was carried out at 70°C. The dynamic mechanical properties of the aged HTPB coatings were tested through dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) Q800 with the loading frequency range of 0~100Hz, the dynamic strain amplitude of 0.1% and the test temperature of 25°C. The change models of the dynamic modulus with the loading frequency were established. The results showed that with the extension of the aging time, the storage modulus and the loss modulus both rose, which were related with the change of the crosslinking network structure. The storage modulus increased exponentially with the loading frequency, and the correlation coefficients fitted by the exponential models were all greater than 0.96. The loss modulus changed in sections. When the loading frequency was less than 70 Hz, the loss modulus showed a cubic function growth relationship with the loading frequency, and the correlation coefficients were larger than 0.98; when the loading frequency was between 70 Hz and 100 Hz, the loss modulus showed a quadratic function relationship with the loading frequency that first decreased and then increased, and the correlation coefficients were all larger than 0.97.

Published: May 2022

To decrease greenhouse gas emissions and maintain sustainable economic growth, the cement industry has developed limestone calcined clay cement (LC3). Many researchers have started to investigate the performance of LC3 as a construction material. However, the strength development of LC3 has diverging or opposite views. In this research, the strength development characteristics of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and LC3 with different combinations of medium reactive ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) have been compared using compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity, and maturity tests. The test result shows that the LC3 concrete has a similar 28-day compressive strength to OPC concrete despite developing a lower early age. Ultrasonic pulse velocity test results have matched compressive strength test results. The predicted compressive strengths using 7-day maturity data were comparable to actual strength results.
“Webside” healthcare from medical interns’ perspective: Telemedicine implementation and need for training
Authors: El Kheir Dalia Y. M. , Alshamsi Razan A. , Alalwi Sukainah T. , Alshammari Razan Z.
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND:

Telemedicine involves the use of electronic communication and technology to remotely deliver clinical services to patients. With the increase in the adoption of telemedicine in healthcare delivery, “webside healthcare” is becoming the virtual analog of bedside care. The Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia has recently established the use of telemedicine, including social media (SM) and medical applications (Apps) to enhance the quality and accessibility of healthcare services to patients and healthcare providers. In the present study, we evaluated medical interns’ perception of the use of telemedicine, SM, and medical Apps in patient care, their awareness of related guidelines to find out if targeted training is needed.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A qualitative study recruited and interviewed, through semi-structured key informant (KI) interviews and focus group discussions (FGD), a total of 24 male and female medical interns. The Interns were purposefully sampled from all Saudi Arabia’s 5 main geographical regions until data saturation was observed. The transcripts of five KI interviews and 6 FGDs done were thematically analyzed and are presented as themes and subthemes.

RESULTS:

Medical interns discussed the advantages and disadvantages related to telemedicine, SM, and medical Apps in healthcare services. Overall, interviewees appreciated the role telemedicine, SM, and medical Apps play in the healthcare and for such particular specialties as family medicine and (tele-) psychiatry. However, the interns believed that training on the technical operational aspects of different telemedicine modalities with an emphasis on targeted education for related ethical and legal regulating guidelines was vital.

CONCLUSION:

Most interviewed medical interns had a positive perception of telemedicine and were willing to use it in their daily clinical practice. However, there were some challenges to its successful implementation such as prompt training on its proper use and clear ethical and legal guidance.
Consumer awareness and perceptions about e-waste management in semi-urban area of northern Tamil Nadu: A mixed-method approach
Authors: Nisha Boopathy , Shajil Shikha , Dutta Ruma , Jain Timsi
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND:

The increased use of electronic devices has caused a rise in the generation of e-waste, which is detrimental to the environment and human health. This study aimed to assess consumer awareness, perception, and disposal methods of e-waste management and its determinants in a semi-urban area of northern Tamil Nadu.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

It was a mixed-method approach using a sequential explanatory technique with both quantitative and qualitative methods in adult e-consumers. Quantitative data were collected from 350 participants selected via simple random sampling using score-based semi-structured questionnaire. Qualitative data were obtained purposely from eight selected consumers such as recyclers, local leaders, and importers of electronics using key informant interviews. Sociodemographic details and disposal practices were summarized as frequencies and percentages. The independent t-test and linear regression analysis were used to obtain the determinants. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically.

RESULTS:

Of the 350 participants (208 males and 142 females), the majority (76%), had good knowledge of e-waste management. Consumers (70%) predominantly had a positive perception. Selling e-wastes to scrap dealers (35%) and disposing of household wastes (21%) were common disposal methods. Male gender, higher education (≥10th grade), and skilled and professional workers were significant determining factors of good knowledge and positive perception toward e-waste management.

CONCLUSION:

There is a need for those in authority to pay special attention to sensitizing the public to the disposal of e-waste practices, ill effects of e-wastes, segregation at collection sites, legislations and laws on e-waste to consumers, and the establishment of disposal sites.

Execution of environmental civil court decisions in Indonesia
Authors: Teguh Pri Pambudi , Rumadan Ismail
Published: May 2022

The ultimate act of the environmental law enforcement procedure in the Court is the execution of court rulings addressing environmental civil disputes. The Plaintiff sincerely hopes that the court's ruling will be effectively implemented, restoring environmental rights that have been harmed or polluted, as well as the rights of communities impacted by environmental damage and pollution. However, due to a variety of variables, recompense in the form of compensation and environmental restoration efforts may not be possible in some cases. The major invoice is about regulations guiding the execution procedure, which still refer to normal civil procedural statutes that have nothing to do with environmental civil problems. Due to the difficulty in obtaining information on the defendant's holdings, no assets or assets were confiscated as collateral during the execution of the verdict. Another stumbling block is the lack of clear legislation controlling the coordination of organizations involved in enforcing court rulings in environmental civil cases. Environmental law has unique features that make it important to make sure that the process for implementing court orders for compensation or environmental restoration is set up in a way that fits those features. This means that a special institution should be in charge of implementing environmental civil decisions.

Bergson’dan Barad’a Yeni Materyalist Feminizm
Authors: TOPRAK Feyza
Published: May 2022

Bu makalenin amacı Yeni Materyalizmin somut bir anlatısı olan Barad’cı İnsan-sonrası (Post-hüman) Feminizmi daha iyi kavranabilir kılmak üzere, bu anlatıdaki Bohr nüveleri ile Bergson ve Deleuze benzerliklerini ortaya koymaktır. Bu dört teorisyenin ortak noktası teorilerini kauntum felsefesi üzerinden kurmalarıdır. Bergson’un bu makale açısından önemi zaman kavramını maddeye, madde kavramını ise performativiteye bağlamasıdır. Deleuze’de Bergson’dan aldığı ilhamla dünyayı herhangi bir sabitlik ve merkezden yoksun, saf köksapsal oluşlar ve sanallıklar alanı olarak tarif ederken felsefesini buradan kurmuştur. Deleuze köksapı, benzer eş bireysellikler arasında var olan, bağlantılar ve yakınlıklar olarak tanımlayarak geleneksel felsefenin insan-biçimsel yönelimini kökten değiştirmektedir. Deleuze’e bu bağlamda geliştirdiği ‘farklılık’ ve ‘çokluk’ felsefesi ile insanı, insan olmayan türlerle paralel bir ilişkiye açık hale getirirken insan-sonrası feminist teoriye de ilham vermiştir. Barad, maddenin bir “töz” değil, ‘ilişkiselliğe içkin eylem’ (intra-activity) olduğunu; ‘failliğin’ yalnızca insani bir nitelik olmadığını, bunun yerine maddenin makro ve mikroskobik seviyeleri boyunca yinelemeli tekrarlarla yürürlüğe girmesi olduğunu savunmuştur. Ona göre madde, ilişkiselliğe içkin dinamik içsel maddi ilişkilerinin etkileri yoluyla kendisini yeniden ürettiği için ‘performatiftir’. ‘Faili gerçekçilik’ epistemolojik, ontolojik ve etik bir teoridir. Barad, insan olmayan organizmaları ve nesneleri bu tanıma dâhil ederek gerçekliğin şekillendirilmesinde insan olmayanı da fail kılmıştır. Barad’ın Bohr’dan aldığı ‘Belirlenimsizlik ilkesi’nin yorumları ‘doğanın bütünselliği, ‘türler arasındaki ittifaka ilişkin bir yaklaşımın gerekliliği yönündeki çağrışımları ile sadece fizikte değil sosyal bilimlerde de yeni bir paradigma yaratmıştır. Barad’a göre evrenin doğasının derinliklerinde ilişkisel ontolojiden kaynaklanan etik bir töz vardır. Kuantum felsefesinden çıkan yeni feminist etik, insan ve insan olmayanın ontolojik etkileşimi, saygılı ilişkisi ve birlikte büyümesi konularına evrilir.
EFFECTS OF CRYOTHERAPY ON PAIN, PRIOR TO THE INTRAVENOUS ADMINISTRATION OF CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC AGENTS AMONG CANCER PATIENTS
Authors: Paramasivam Ms. Sudha , rani Bimla
Published: May 2022

Background and objectives: Cancer is a disease of the cell in which the normal mechanisms of the control of growth and proliferation have been altered. Multiple treatment modalities including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery and biologic response modifier therapy may be used at various times. Pain is one of the most common symptoms in cancer patients. Pain can be caused by cancer, cancer treatment, or a combination of factors. The study was done to identify the effects of cryotherapy on pain prior to the intravenous administration of chemotherapeutic agents among cancer patients in a selected hospital at Coimbatore. Materials and methods: Quantitative research approach was used to assess the effects of cryotherapy on pain. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 30 samples. The research design used for this study was pre-experimental one group pre-test― post-test design. Cryotherapy was given for the duration of 5 -10 minutes prior to the intravenous administration of chemotherapeutic agents to cancer patients. Numerical rating scale was used to assess the pain before and after the intervention. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data from 30 samples. Results: The analysis revealed that the pre-test mean score of pain was 6.00 with standard deviation of 1.74 and in post-test the mean score was 2.43 with standard deviation of 1.85. The paired ‘t’ test value of 17.690 was very highly significant at p<0.001 level. Conclusion: Results indicated that cryotherapy is effective on pain, prior to the intravenous administration of chemotherapeutic agents among patients with cancer. However, the study can be conducted by using large populations to generalise the findings.
Developments in the use of technologies in African tax administrations
Authors: Owens Jeffrey , Schlenther Bernd
Published: May 2022

A substantial number of sub-Saharan African tax administrations have seen efficiency gains by adopting online systems for tax filing and payment. However, the adoption of technology for the automation of tax administration has been markedly slow in comparison to the pace of adoption in developed countries. For African countries’ drive toward domestic resource mobilisation to be successful, automation of core processes is fundamental and the adoption of standards in international cooperation, improving data quality and promoting fiscal decentralisation. This article demonstrates that while much progress has been made in automation, Tax Administration Diagnostic Assessment Tool assessments still illustrate several gaps experienced by tax administrations in compliance risk management, statistical analysis, bulk data analysis, and the quality of data. As ref lected in stagnant tax gross domestic product ratios, without mitigating these risks and not seizing opportunities offered by instruments such as the exchange of information standards, advances made in automation run the risk of being nullified eventually. Therefore, African tax administrations need a digital roadmap and a set of metrics to measure their progress in automation.
Revenue Enhancements in Kampala, Uganda: Lessons for Other African Cities
Authors: Khan Sameera
Published: May 2022

The Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) are optimistic that reforms can yield substantial own source revenues if the reform strategy and implementation processes are well designed and executed. Within four years of establishment, the KCCA increased their own source revenue by more than 100 per cent. Kampala’s success can be attributed to improved and modernised administrative processes and procedures, increased capacity, insourcing of requisite skills and knowledge and increased use of automation. The research underscores the successes of the KCCA’s revenue enhancement from own source revenues, especially from the recurrent property tax, to identify lessons for other African local governments. To achieve its objective, the study used a literature review methodology. The evaluation from the literature collected involves a qualitative review of the strategy used by the KCCA since 2010 to enhance its own source revenue. It is noteworthy that research and analysis of impediments, bottlenecks, and key sources of revenue informed the reform strategy that was eventually developed and implemented by the KCCA. In addition, a strong focus was placed on reducing taxpayer compliance costs, increasing voluntary compliance, and increasing taxpayer and stakeholder engagements including the extensive use of social media. Consequently, Kampala’s successes were achieved without the necessity of any legislative changes. Hence, the experience of Kampala offers valuable lessons for many African cities.
Assessing Taxpayers’ Awareness on Their Right to Appeal Property Tax Assessment in Mzuzu City – Malawi
Authors: Kaude Prince
Published: May 2022

Valuation inaccuracy when assessing properties for taxation purposes, which results in taxpayers deciding to evade property taxes due to higher taxes inf luenced by incorrect assessments, affects the economy of the country negatively. This research evaluated how a lack of taxpayer awareness of their right to appeal on estimated property taxes affect property tax compliance in Mzuzu City. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected by administering questionnaires while the study areas were selected based on their planning nature and different state in terms of the income of the dwellers. Taxpayers were selected randomly and the sample from study areas was found by matching the total number of taxable properties in the area to the appropriate sample size.

Studies have established that misconceptions and alternative conceptions held by students are major barriers to meaningful learning of difficult concepts in Biology, and their sources have been traced to teachers, students, and Biology textbooks. The proliferation of e-learning in recent time due to COVID 19 pandemic has mount more pressure on the need for online resources consumption. Literature has it that difficult topics in biology were the most online resource visited frequently which the concept of Ecology falls into difficult topic to teach and to learn in biology. It is yet to be established if online Biology resources contain misconceptions and alternative conceptions in online content related to the concept of Ecology. The survey type of descriptive research method was adopted in the study. Multistage sampling procedure was used to select 90 online Biology resources which were grouped into three categories based on ownerships i.e. educational institutional, corporate organization, and blogger websites. Three instruments, namely; Misconceptions in Online Biology Resource Content Analysis Template (MOBRCAT), and Alternative Conceptions in Online Biology resources Content Analysis Template (ACOBRCAT) and a questionnaire, “Students’ Frequently Visited Biology Websites (SFVBW)” were the researcher designed instruments used for data gathering. The findings of the study were that: misconceptions and alternative conceptions existed in the contents of senior school online resources on Ecology on websites hosted by bloggers (100%), and none on educational institution websites and corporate organization websites. This implies that online resources are also a source of misconceptions and alternative conceptions of Biology concepts, which could contribute to students’ poor performance in Biology. It was therefore recommended that Biology students, teachers, and researchers need to be sensitive and selective on the categories of websites that hosted online Biology resources.
