Assessment of Severity of Water Pollution Near Kureepuzha Dump Yard
Authors: SAJEEV AJMAL M
Published: September 2023

Pollution is the process of making land, water, air or other parts of the environment dirty and unsafe or unsuitable to use. This can be done through the introduction of contaminants into a natural environment, but the contaminant doesn't need to be tangible. Things as simple as light, sound and temperature can be considered pollutants when introduced artificially into an environment. Thus, pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants. Pollution is often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution. Pollution started from prehistoric times when man created the first fires. According to a 1983 article in the journal Science, "soot" found on ceilings of prehistoric caves provides ample evidence of the high levels of pollution that was associated with inadequate ventilation of open fires. It was the industrial revolution that gave birth to environmental pollution as we know it today. London also recorded one of the earlier extreme cases of water quality problems with the Great Stink on the Thames of 1858, which led to construction of the London sewerage system soon afterward. Pollution issues escalated as population growth far exceeded view ability of neighborhoods to handle their waste problem.

The Images of China in TIME: A Corpus-Based Critical Discourse Analysis
Authors: Zhang Bing , Shu Zhenzhu
Published: September 2023

With the help of corpus statistics, this article compares the China-related covers and reports of TIME over its 100 years of existence and divides them into four periods. As a real-time political news publication, TIME has the characteristic of closely matching the development of the times. In different historical periods, China’s image, China-related cover characters and headlines, and the content of China-related reports vary greatly. The image and report on wartime China are more objective and positive, with a more positive tone. In the Redified China phase, the China-related reports were mainly negative, trying to create a chaotic and bloody image of Communist China for Western readers. In the reforming or Changing phase of China, the coverage shifted from the negative terms to a neutral and objective one, unfolding China’s change and development to the Western world. While in the diversified development phase of China, China-related cover stories and terms on TIME were more objective. The characters and images that TIME tries to highlight were also inconsistent in different historical periods, indicating that the shaping of TIME’s China cover image is deeply influenced by the ideology, news values, culture, and worldview differences of the reporters.

Simulated Jury as a Model for Teaching and Learning in a Remote Chemistry Teaching Methods Course
Authors: Melo Viviane Florentino de , Vieira Rodrigo Drumond
Published: September 2023

In this article, we focus on a set of remote activities regarding simulated juries, judges’ evaluations, communication of verdicts, and a post-discussion conversation. These activities aimed to promote learning of the preservice teachers about the differences between remote and in-person teaching in a chemistry teaching methods course. The set of activities was developed at the beginning of the course, during the Pandemic Covid-19, and the interchanging of roles was applied by the teacher educator. These structured activities were accomplished through the preservice teachers’ interactions and their interactions with the teacher educator by means of arguments, explanations, dialogues, and injunctions. We used a multi-level method for discourse analysis to map, sample, and analyze virtual interactions, which afforded the following results: 1) the preservice teachers strongly engaged in the remote activities and constructed arguments and counterarguments in the simulated jury activities, showing active roles as knowledge producers in all set of activities; 2) several themes and subthemes were developed; 3) the teacher educator assumed the roles of instructor, manager of the discussions, and commentator; 4) the preservice teachers evaluated positively their experience with the set of activities; 5) the application of the multi-level method allowed us to make explicit the discursive moves of the participants and a model for the simulated juries and related activities.

The impact of enterprise risk management on financial performance: Evidence from the GCC Islamic banks
Authors: Alsalami Tamader , Soo-Wah Low , Nor Shifa Mohd , Alsheikh Awatif Hodaed
Published: September 2023

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a contemporary trend that has gained momentum in recent years. ERM is a comprehensive approach to risk management that considers both operational and strategic risks that affect business objectives and success. The present research investigates the impact of ERM on the financial performance (FP) of listed Islamic banks in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. This study takes a quantitative approach, employing secondary data collection methods and content analysis. The study analyses a sample of 221 yearly observations from 23 listed Islamic banks in the GCC from 2011–2020. The ERM implementation and FP measures were derived from previous studies. The study discovered that ERM implementation is associated with an increase in accounting performance but not with changes in market performance for Islamic banks. Our study confirms that Islamic banks perform better in the short term after implementing ERM controls but have no impact on long-term value creation. This study provides valuable insight on the benefits of enhancing GCC Islamic banks' ERM implementation decision-making processes. Finally, the empirical findings can assist managers, policymakers, and regulators in improving bank performance by implementing best practices of ERM in GCC Islamic banks and countries with similar socioeconomic environments.

Published: September 2023

Reliable Minimal Energy Cost Routing (RMECR) and Reliable Minimum Energy Routing are two ingenious dynamism- conscious routing algorithms for wireless ad hoc networks (RMER). Ad hoc network conditions for dynamism effectiveness, responsibility, and dragging network continuance are all managed by RMECR. To develop dynamism-effective and reliable pathways that outstretch the network's functional continuance, it takes into account the bumps' dynamism operation, their remaining battery dynamism, and the tractability of their links. RMER, on the other phase, is a dynamism-effective routing algorithm that identifies rows that exercise the least quantum of dynamism altogether for packet traversal from end to end. For networks where end- to- end retransmissions or lope- by- dance retransmissions guarantee responsibility, RMER and RMECR are alluded. Simulation simulations demonstrate that RMECR is able of locating reliable and dynamism-effective rows analogous to RMER, while contemporaneously dragging the network's operating life. RMECR is thus a sophisticated system for dragging the dynamism- effectiveness, responsibility, and life of wireless ad hoc networks. We take into account nanosecond procurators while intending the RMECR, similar as the dynamism exercised by the transceiver's processing factors, the ultimate number of packet retransmissions suffered, packet sizes, and the sequel of mention packets. This increases the oneness of our work in comparison to other examinations.

Twitter, a popular social media platform, has become a rich source of user-generated content. The classification of Twitter users based on their characteristics and behavior has gained significant attention. Deep learning techniques, with their ability to capture complex patterns and representations, have emerged as powerful tools for Twitter user classification. This research article presents a comprehensive review of deep learning approaches for Twitter user classification. We discuss various deep learning architectures, pretraining techniques, and transfer learning strategies used in the classification task. Through a thorough analysis of existing studies, we highlight the strengths and limitations of deep learning approaches and provide recommendations for future research in this field.

This study investigates the impact of motivating design on participation in an flipped course, exercising primary sources similar as published literature, academic journals, and other applicable information. The exploration process commences with relating suitable sources through library exploration. foreign incitement gave pupils marks and instruments for course objects. natural provocation interventions created engaging and demanding course challenges. Both motivational design interventions bettered pupil engagement. still, natural provocation bettered pupil engagement further than foreign provocation, especially in delicate tasks. The exploration adds to the motivational design and flips classroom literature by showing that motivational design interventions increase pupil engagement in Indonesian seminaries. The results show that natural provocation treatments, which give interesting and hard conditioning, may be more successful at fostering engagement and provocation than foreign provocation development.

Bu çalışmada araç konfor ve güvenliği için etkin bir rolü olan süspansiyon sisteminin denge konfigürasyonu kullanılarak analitik açıdan bir statik modeli oluşturulmuştur. Bazı literatür çalışmalarında aksın yük taşıdığı kabul edilirken bazılarında ise yük taşımadığı kabul edilmiştir. Bu nedenle matematiksel model iki durum için değerlendirilmiş, denklemler aksın yük taşıması ve taşımaması durumlarına göre ayrı ayrı incelenmiştir. Çalışmada süspansiyon sistemine ait statik denge şartları kapsamlı bir şekilde dikkate alınmış, analitik model genel bir formülle ifade edilmiştir. Bu sayede MacPherson süspansiyon sistemlerinde askı koluna etki eden yüklemeler ve askı kolu sınır şartları ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Sonuç olarak elde edilen denklemler ile MacPherson süspansiyon sisteminde askı koluna etki eden yükleri ortaya koymuştur. Bu çalışma ile bu tarz askı kolları üzerinde mukavemet analizi ve optimizasyon çalışmaları yapacak araştırmacılar için kullanılabilir denklemler ortaya çıkarılmıştır.

Assessment and planning of crisis management with the natural disasters approach include many components. In this regard, floods and earthquakes are some of the fundamental pillars in this field. With this view, paying attention to the current and future planning and research priorities of the world shows that crisis management in flood-prone and earthquake-prone areas and increasing resilience are the most important priorities for sustainable development studies and planning in the world. The western region of Iran (Lorestan province) has a special place due to the prominent features of flood and seismicity. This study aims to investigate the current situation regarding floods and earthquakes and increase the resilience of settlements with emphasis on the study area. After studying the current structure of flood and earthquake zoning according to multi-factor criteria, zoning was performed based on the integration of GIS and AHP information systems, and at the output of the work, high-risk settlements were determined separately for rural and urban areas with geographical coordinates, and then areas with low, very low, medium, high, and very high resilience were presented separately for rural and urban settlements. Also, after analyzing the SWOT model, strategies to increase the resilience of settlements to floods and earthquakes were presented. The study method of this research and the results, strategies, and operational options presented while being used in the study area are also applicable in other areas.
