ICT Integration in a Multigrade Context: Exploring Primary School Teachers Experiences
Authors: Taole Matshidiso Joyce
Published: February 2024

Technology offers pedagogical affordances that can transform teaching and learning in multigrade classrooms to assist in the process of teaching and learning. However, it is challenging for teachers to effectively integrate technology into their classrooms, given the complex and dynamic multigrade context. The technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) model was a lens through which to explore teachers’ experiences in ICT integration in their multigrade classrooms in selected primary schools in South Africa. A case study design guided this qualitative study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twelve teachers thematic analysis was used to analyse data. The findings revealed that access to ICT equipment for teachers and students is crucial. This study has found that generally, it is difficult for teachers to incorporate technology into their teaching because of the caveats, such as the multigrade context and the rural location which presents issues such as lack of basic technology infrastructure, limited training on integrating technology in teaching, time, the teaching context, and support from principals. This study recommends that teachers be trained on ICT usage and given the support needed to function effectively in their multigrade context. For teachers to be digitally connected and ensure ICT integration in the teaching and learning process, they need to be equipped with relevant knowledge and skills to use technology to transform their teaching and create new opportunities for learning.

Authors: Zouari Soufien , Mabrouki Kais
Published: February 2024

The present paper examines the impact of entrepreneurship education on students’ intention to start up business. Using a sample of young Tunisian students from both Sfax and Sousse (these are two tows in Tunisia) universities, we propose to determine the significant factors influencing their entrepreneurial intention. Our econometric results have revealed that the composite variables , i.e, the student’s internal and external socio-cultural background, the students’ profile in terms of their theoretical and practical knowledge in new business start-up and the students’ characteristics (age and, above all, educational level), are the most determining variables affecting students’ intention to engage in business start-ups. The gender variable has no significant effect on entrepreneurial behavior.

Published: February 2024

A cooperative is a business entity consisting of individuals and legal entities that is based on the principles of kinship and economic democracy and is a means of increasing economic progress for cooperative members and the community. This research aims to determine the influence of Store Atmosphere on consumer purchasing decisions at the XYZ Bandung Cooperative. Several members explained that the reason for reducing purchases of goods at the XYZ Cooperative was because they felt that some goods were not given enough attention, such as whether the goods on display were still suitable for consumption or not, communication of information either through social media or information boards was still not working well, the prices of goods were not high. expensive and less affordable for members and other consumers to buy. The research method used was quantitative, the sampling technique used probability sampling and a sample of 43 domestic and foreign tourist respondents was obtained. The analytical tool used was simple regression analysis and the hypothesis used a significance test using the SPSS analysis tool. The results of this research explain that the Store Atmosphere has a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions at the XYZ cooperative and several dimensions of the Store Atmosphere such as the exterior, store layout and interior appearance have a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions at the XYZ cooperative. There needs to be more attention from the management of the XYZ cooperative in paying attention to the shop atmosphere so that consumers, especially members, can increase their purchasing decisions at the XYZ Cooperative.

Water is a crucial factor in ensuring smooth and high-quality production in palm oil mills. Minerals present in water can lead to scale formation, sedimentation, and equipment corrosion. Therefore, the demineralization process with cation and anion regeneration is beneficial to maintain water quality in accordance with op- erational standards. Water plays a vital role in the industrial sector; boilers, as primary steam generators, transform water into vapor through heating. However, operating without good water quality can result in issues like scale formation and corrosion. In water treatment processes, chemical substances are required for purification, such as Nalco 3276 for flocculation and Nalco 8173 for flocculant retention. The mineral content in water also affects chemical reactions, such as causing scale formation in boilers and influencing reaction processes. Demineral- ization is frequently employed across various industrial sectors, including palm oil mills, to treat boiler feedwater and other raw materials. Maintaining stable boiler feedwater usage by controlling pH and total hardness prevents problems in pipelines. This research focuses on cation and anion regeneration to reduce min- eral content in boiler feedwater at PT. Bakrie Sumatera Plantations, Tbk Palm Oil Mill Kisaran, with the aim to analyze the regeneration process using H2SO4 and NaOH dosages and identify factors causing issues during regeneration.

Authors:   , Luz Jorge Lucas Santos da
Published: February 2024

A pandemia da COVID-19 representou um desafio global sem precedentes, impactando de forma abrangente e profunda todos os aspectos da vida, incluindo a saúde pública, a economia e as relações sociais. Nesse contexto, as universidades foram diretamente afetadas, tendo que realizar adaptações significativas em suas atividades e rotinas diárias. A suspensão das aulas presenciais e a transição para o ensino remoto, juntamente com a interrupção de pesquisas e a necessidade de comunicação virtual, trouxeram novos desafios para estudantes, professores e demais servidores universitários. Este estudo tem como objetivo compreender as estratégias de Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho (QVT) adotadas durante a pandemia nas universidades federais mineiras e identificar como essas estratégias afetaram os seus servidores com base no modelo de QVT de Walton (1973). Primeiramente, foi realizada coleta documental nos sites das 11 universidades federais mineiras, a partir de portarias, notas técnicas, decretos e notícias relacionadas às ações relacionadas à QVT. Em seguida, foram realizadas entrevistas com 15 servidores de 5 destas instituições. Utilizando a análise de conteúdo proposta por Bardin (2016), os documentos e as entrevistas foram submetidos a uma pré-análise, análise e tratamento dos dados. Os resultados destacam a importância de medidas flexíveis e adaptativas, levando em consideração as necessidades e demandas dos servidores. As universidades demonstraram esforços em promover um ambiente de trabalho saudável e equilibrado, priorizando a saúde física e mental dos servidores. As análises vislumbraram também a relevância de políticas de suporte psicológico, como programas de orientação e apoio emocional, evidenciando a preocupação com o bem-estar global dos servidores. Além disso, a valorização do desenvolvimento profissional foi observada por meio de ações como capacitações online e incentivos para aprimoramento docente. Essas estratégias contribuíram para manter a motivação e o engajamento dos servidores durante um período adverso. Por fim, foi possível observar como as diferenças sociais e de gênero influenciam na propensão dos servidores ao teletrabalho. Palavras-chave: Gestão de pessoas. Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho.

Neuropathological Mechanisms of Alzheimer's Disease: Complications and Potential Treatments
Authors: Gavini Vineel , Kethar Jothsna , Appavu Rajagopal
Published: February 2024

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that targets the brain and disrupts vital processes of neural networks causing the decline of cognitive function. The main pathological mechanisms responsible for the development of Alzheimer’s are the tau and amyloid-beta proteins. These proteins are detrimental because they form plaque and neurofibrillary tangles that aggregate within the brain. Biomarkers and diagnostic tools are utilized to detect Alzheimer’s within a patient. These devices can potentially detect the onset of Alzheimer’s early, reducing the severity of symptoms. Throughout studies of various research articles, certain potential AD treatments were analyzed to determine their efficacy. Galantamine was found to be a potent inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase and more effective than rivastigmine and donepezil. A controversial herbal supplement, Ginkgo Biloba, was examined to determine its relevance in reducing the severity of Alzheimer’s. Research findings support that the supplement's efficacy is inconclusive as trials have not been able to provide significant evidence as to whether or not Ginkgo Biloba is effective in the case of Alzheimer’s. By investigating the impact of prospective treatments on the mechanisms of Alzheimer’s, this extensive research aims to provide evidence to handle the effects of the disease and determine significant treatments to ensure the quality of healthcare for all patients distressed by Alzheimer’s Disease.
Using Heuristic Algorithms to Solve the 0-1 Knapsack Problem
Authors: Mishra Sanatan , Perkins David
Published: February 2024

The 0-1 Knapsack problem is an NP-complete optimization problem with applications in many places where the most valuable items must be selected for a finite pool. Heuristic algorithms are used to solve that problem, as the exact solutions take far too much time to be useful in such applications. This paper introduces ten novel heuristic algorithms. After that, the paper analyzes their performance on 29 publicly available datasets against one existing heuristic algorithm named “Standard Greedy.” The results show that one of the novel heuristics, “Defensive Greedy,” is the best in balancing speed and accuracy with a time complexity of O(n log n). The advantages of “Defensive Greedy” include that it is around 44.8% faster than “Standard Greedy” and much faster than any exact solution. However, its primary disadvantage is that it lags behind “Standard Greedy” in accuracy by approximately 28%. The nine other novel heuristics were not as fast as “Defensive Greedy,” but two novel heuristics, “Max of All” and “Max of Two,” had a higher accuracy of 2.9% and 2.6%, respectively, than that of “Standard Greedy.”

In this work, Copper and Titanium nanocomposites (NPs) were prepared by mixture exchange process with ratios (25, 50 and 75 % CuO-TiO2). The biological activity was studied, and it was found that the concentrations of 50 and 100 µg/mL of 50 and 75 % CuO-TiO2 were the best concentrations, Low concentrations of the nanoparticle mixture at 25 µg/mL also stimulated the growth of symbiotic bacteria. The mixture of nanoparticles was easier to prepare and more effective in inhibiting bacterial growth. biochemical test and PCR were performed to confirm the identity of the studied bacteria. While isolating the bacteria, a new type of bacteria was detected and registered in the Global Gen Bank under accession No. OP942239. Surface and structure properties have been studied using FESEM, EDS analysis, XRD and FTIR respectively. It can be seen that the size and diameter of the nanocomposite increase with the weight ratio of CuO-TiO2. The aggregated CuO-TiO2 nanostructures with different ratios were transformed gradually into a uniform spherical shape. The average size of the CuO/TiO2 composite was found to be about 32.122, 29.865 and 27.607 nm at 25, 50 and 75 % CuO-TiO2 respectively. While the mean sizes of CuO and TiO2 were 25.35 and 34.38 nm respectively. The crystalline size decreases after the ion exchange process, which could be due to the diffraction peaks being broad in all the samples of Copper Titanate at the surface. Subsequently, adding Copper particles to the TiO2 film can improve the performance of the material.
HIGHLIGHTSThe nanostructure CuO-TiO2 was created through various loading ratios. These NPs’ efficiency was calculated using a number of techniques, including FTIR, X-ray diffraction, EDS spectra, and FESEM. The observations indicate that molecular transition parameters play an essential role in determining the size, shape, and functionality of CuO- TiO2 NPs. The sharp peaks observed in the composites indicated higher crystallinity in CuO. In addition, two types of NPs have shown promising effects in inhibiting NPs aggregation and enhancing biological effects but the potential of these NPs against different bacteria may differ. Thus, further research and testing is needed to assess its efficacy and human health and environmental impact before considering its use. In conclusion, copper and titanium NPs have their distinct advantages in bacterial inhibition, and the choice between them should be based on specific conditions and environmentally friendly factors.

In this modern twenty-first century almost all families like to spend time shopping in malls, shopping complexes, and retail stores. In all these shops people usually carry trolleys on their own in which they collect the desired items and then locomote the trolley to the billing counter where they have to wait in long queues, but nowadays there is a need to convert the old traditional trolley with a modern automatic trolley, which is exactly our project. The main idea of the project is to automate the process of shopping in such a manner that we will scan the products using RFID attached to the products and an RFID reader attached to the trolley as well as display the total amount on the Android mobile screen. We also have included a feature to send a message to the customer's registered mobile number. This process not only helps in reducing the waiting time in the long queues and moving the trolley automatically but also helps in managing and checking the budget while shopping which indeed provides a huge difference in their shopping experience as well.

The objective of the study is to recognize temporal changes that affect the Koyna River's water quality parameters throughout time. 52 samples of water in total were collected at weekly intervals from March 2018 to March 2019 at the Koyna River in the vicinity of Karad, Maharashtra, India, to determine the concentrations of TDS, sulphate (SO4--), and nitrate (NO3-). The average annual concentration of NO3-, SO4--, and TDS is considerably lower than the values prescribed by WHO and BIS for irrigation and drinking. Timely variations in the parameters have been recorded. Increasing patterns were observed throughout the monsoon season (June to September 2018), followed by a deceased pattern (October to December 2018), and then a remarkably high level of certain variables in January 2019. The outcomes showed that water entering the river from upstream sources, runoff from agriculture, and household and industrial sewage discharges in tributaries and the mainstream are responsible for variations in concentration that occur gradually, suddenly, and in various manners
