Efficient Removal of Aqueous Manganese (II) Cations by Activated Opuntia Ficus Indica Powder: Adsorption Performance and Mechanism
Authors: Djobbi Boutheina , Miled Ghofrane Lassoued Ben , Raddadi Hatem , Hassen Rached Ben
Published: September 2021

The adsorption of manganese ions from aqueous solutions by pure and acid-treated Opuntia ficus indica as natural low-cost and eco-friendly adsorbents was investigated. The adsorbents’ structures were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. Specific surface areas were determined using the Brunauer-Emmett-Tell equation. The study was carried out under various parameters influencing the manganese removal efficiency such as pH, temperature, contact time, adsorbent dose and initial concentration of manganese ion. The maximum adsorption capacity reached 42.02 mg/g for acid-treated Opuntia ficus indica, and only 20.8 mg /g for pure Opuntia ficus indica. The Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms equations were tested, and the best fit was obtained by the Langmuir model for both adsorbents. The thermodynamic study shows that chemisorption is the main adsorption mechanism for the activated adsorbent while physisorption is the main adsorption mechanism for the pure adsorbent. The kinetics of the adsorption have been studied using four kinetics models of pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, Elovich and intraparticle diffusion. Structural analyses indicate the appearance of MnOx oxides on the cellulose fibers. The adsorption mechanisms consist of an electrostatic interaction followed by oxidation of the Mn (II) to higher degrees, then probably by binding to the surface of the adsorbent by different C-O-MnOx bonds.

Nutrients play an essential role in many metabolic processes whose deficiency or excess can be harmful to the plant itself and through the food chain to both animals and humans. Medicinal plants used in the food and pharmaceutical industries can be contaminated with increased concentrations of heavy metals. The plant species Seseli rigidum and Seseli pallasii from the Balkan Peninsula are used in traditional medicine and spices in the diet, so it was necessary to determine the mineral composition to ensure their safe application. In this work, the mineral composition was determined in medicinal species of the genus Seseli using inductively coupled plasma with optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Two multivariate statistic methods –principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) were applied to distinguish samples regarding their mineral composition. The mineral composition of both studied species is following the literature data. The results obtained using multivariate statistics methods agree and distinguish certain parts of the tested plants based on the highest content of micro, macro, or trace elements.

Ethical Naturalism and the Meaning of “Good”
Authors: Mei Xuan
Published: September 2021

How to explicate the meaning of “good” is a classic philosophical question, one reason is that “good” has metaphysical properties which are difficult to interpret. The development of ethical naturalism opens a door to answer the “good” question. This theory proposes to view the moral world and the natural world as a continuum, in that the moral world is built on the basis of the natural one. This study aims to introduce a sort of reductive ethical naturalism—end-relational theory—to interpret “good” assertions. According to this theory, most “good” assertions are end-relational and thus “good” can be reduced to “end”. By doing so, metaphysical moral meaning can be converted into concretized natural meaning, and then “good” morality will not be high up above anymore.
Considerações sobre as fontes do pensamento linguístico de Anchieta: intertextualidade gramatical
Authors: Kaltner Leonardo Ferreira
Published: September 2021

Consiste o presente estudo em debate sobre a validade do conceito de intertextualidade no âmbito da Historiografia da Linguística (HL), cuja discussão se dá a partir do modelo teórico-metodológico desenvolvido por Pierre Swiggers (2013, 2019). Como objeto de análise o fenômeno a ser observado é o pensamento linguístico de S. José de Anchieta, SJ (1534-1597), pela metalinguagem da Arte de gramática da língua mais usada na costa do Brasil (1595). Esse debate metateórico, no campo específico da Gramaticografia, a História da Gramática, se apresenta a partir de uma metodologia de base comparativa, entre a obra de Anchieta em contraste com obras de três outros gramáticos renascentistas, de sua abrangência referencial: Antonio de Nebrija, João de Barros e Jan Van Spauter, latinizado como Despauterius. Ademais, apresentamos um modelo para a edição semidiplomática e tradução filológica dos documentos gramaticais analisados.
Desgarramento e pontuação em textos de vestibulandos
Authors: Rodrigues Violeta Virginia , Cidade David Novaes
Published: September 2021

O fenômeno do desgarramento permite-nos aceitar a possibilidade de que “subordinadas” ocorram sintaticamente independentes de suas principais e separadas destas por ponto final. Segundo Decat (2011), desgarramento é o fenômeno pelo qual se identificam unidades de informação que ocorrem soltas nas estruturas linguísticas e o ponto é o principal índice deste fenômeno na escrita. Partimos, portanto, da hipótese de que o uso não-convencional (TENANI; SONCIN, 2010) desse sinal de pontuação, de forma a isolar e realçar as “subordinadas” que tradicionalmente comporiam um período composto, não só modifica a estrutura sintática do período como também evidencia uma intenção comunicativa do escrevente. Assim, adotamos a proposta funcionalista de que relativas apositivas e circunstanciais constituem casos de hipotaxe e não de subordinação, e analisamos usos dessas estruturas materializadas de forma desgarrada em um corpus composto de 197 redações do site educacao.uol.com.br (CIDADE, 2020). Os resultados encontrados confirmam os de Rodrigues (2019).

The Place of Siyāq in the Interpretation of the Qur'an
Authors: Razavi Seyyed Mohammad , Sa’emi Marziyeh , Shavandi Zohreh
Published: September 2021

The term Siyāq (i.e. context) and its place and role in the interpretation of the Qur'an has always been considered by scholars and Qur'anic scholars. This term has been mentioned in the surviving narrative literature of the Infallibles (PBUT) as [connected word]. In fact, the principle of symmetry of the context and verbal and semantic order governing the body of the Qur'an, including verses and surahs, and even the arrangement of words and letters and their succession are among the principles inseparable from the word of God. It will help us to pay attention to this principle and applying it in the process of interpreting verses. In the current article, we try to get acquainted with the term context and its types, which are divided into contexts of words, sentences, verses and surahs, as well as its role and position in understanding Qur’anic verses, and the conditions for realizing the context and ways of proving and using it.

Mathematical model of delay based on a system with gamma distribution
Authors: Tarasov Veniamin N.
Published: September 2021

This article is devoted to the analysis of a queuing system formed by two flows with density functions of the gamma distribution law in order to derive a solution for the average delay of requests in the queue, which is the main characteristic for any queuing system. According to this characteristic, for example, packet delays in packet-switched networks are estimated when they are modeled using the queuing system. In queuing theory, studies of G/G/1 systems are especially relevant because there is no solution in the final form for the general case. Therefore, in the study of such systems, various particular distribution laws are used as an arbitrary distribution law for G. In the study of G/G/1 systems, an important role is played by the method of spectral decomposition of the solution of the Lindley integral equation, and most of the results in the theory of queuing were obtained using this method. The article presents the derivation of the calculation formula for the average delay of requests in the queue in the system under consideration, also based on the spectral decomposition method.
Electrophysical characteristics of germanium MIS structures with rare-earth element fluorides
Authors: Sachuk Natalia V. , Shalimova Margarita B.
Published: September 2021

The electrical properties of MIS structures with rare-earth element fluorides on germanium substrates were studied to analyze the possibility of using these materials as gate dielectrics of devices. The structures are also studied from the point of view of assessing the degradation of their electrophysical properties under the action of electric fields of ~108 V/m, which act on the dielectric during electroforming, since the MIS structures with rare-earth element fluorides have the property of bistable switching. Studies of the I-V and C-V characteristics show that all structures have approximately the same value of the density of surface states at the rare-earth element / Ge fluoride interface. The leakage currents in the MIS structures with TmF3 and SmF3 film are less than in the MIS structures with NdF3 film of greater thickness. There is also no effect of reducing the current density when using the double film structure CeF3/DyF3. The most promising material with a low leakage current at a fairly high value of the dielectric constant in germanium MIS structures is thin-film samarium fluoride.

After adjusting confusing variables, individuals who gained higher scores in unhealthy dietary pattern, had higher probability (OR = 2.19, 95%CI: 1.10 to 4.36, p value = 0.02) of depression, however healthy dietary patterns showed no significant association with the risk of depression.
Conclusion: Findings indicate a higher prevalence of depression and positive relationship between unhealthy dietary patterns with the risk of depression in studied students.
Dynamic analysis of earth dam using numerical method – a case study: Doyraj earth dam
Authors: Mazaheri Ahmad R. , Komasi Mehdi , Veisi Majid , Nasiri Masoud
Published: September 2021

The precise study of the response of earth dams to earthquakes is one of the most complex issues in the field of soil structures. In this research, dynamic analysis of
earth dam structures (a case study: Doyraj dam in the west of Iran) have been performed using 2D Finite Difference Method (2D F.D.M.). The aim of this study is to investigate accelerations, lateral (horizontal) and vertical displacements (i.e. settlements) due to earthquake occurrence. The results of dynamic analysis indicate that the performance of the dam is satisfactory for each one of the seismic scenarios considered in this investigation. The maximum settlements at the dam crest is considerably smaller than that of the dam freeboard, with maximum value of 540 mm, which is comparable to recommendation of the Department of Safety of Dams (DSOD). Depth of sliding surfaces is better shown in the Finn model, and the settlements based on the Finn model is about 2.5 times higher than that of Mohr model. In contrast to what is commonly accepted about earthquake acceleration (the increase in earthquake acceleration from the base to the top of the dam), it cannot generalize to all cases, and it can be limited to very strong dams or can be related to poor earthquakes.
New Two-Fluid Turbulence Model Based Numerical Simulation of Flow in a Flat Suddenly Expanding Channel
Authors: Malikov Z.M. , Madaliev M.E.
Published: September 2021

The purpose of the research was to numerically study the structure of the flow in a flat channel in the zone of its sudden step-like expansion. The results of the study are given in the paper. The calculations are carried out with the use of a new two-fluid turbulence model and are based on the numerical solution of a system of nonstationary equations. The profiles of axial velocity and turbulent stress in various sections of the channel before and after the step were obtained, as well as the dependence of the friction coefficient for the lower wall of the channel on the distance after the step. For the difference approximation of the initial equations, the control volume approach was applied; the relationship between the velocities and pressure was found using the SIMPLEC procedure. Meanwhile, the viscosity terms were approximated by the central difference, and for the convective terms the QUICK second-order accuracy scheme was used. To confirm the correctness of the numerical results, we compared them with the experimental data taken from the NASA database for the Reynolds number Re = 36,000. The results obtained using the SA and SST models are also given in the paper. Despite the coarse grid used for numerical calculations, the results based on the new two-fluid turbulence model are not less accurate than the results determined by the RANS models for predicting separated flows in the flat channel in the zone of its sudden backward-facing step expansion
Need of Marriage of Mass Media with Traditional Folk Media in Empowering Towards Sustainable Development among Santals: A Review
Authors: Sinha Atanu Kumar , Hazra Amit Kumar
Published: September 2021

Information is treated as a vital and powerful tool of socio-economic development, no less important than land, labour and capital towards empowerment of people towards attaining sustainable development (SD). Empowerment, the degree of autonomy and self-sufficient, self-dependent, self-determined, self-responsible, self-reliable, self-confident in the democratic society in controlling their lifelong learning and their own quality of life. Access of right information at the right time in right form and ability of sharing information to others empower people. Mass media in this regard plays a crucial role as a vast portion of population may be reached through mass media. Present study conducted in four Santal villages of Birbhum district of West Bengal with 100 Santals (50 male and 50 female) attempts to investigate the extent of use and utilization pattern of mass media in information seeking behavior by the Santals of the study area and finally suggest towards empowering the Santals for attaining sustainable development in the study area. In the study a mixed reaction of the respondents have been received regarding the exposure to various mass media. Mean value of social awareness based on mass media of female Santals (x̄2 = 109.43) was better than the male Santals (x̄1 = 106.18). ‘t’ value of the study indicated that null hypothesis H0 is rejected and alternative hypothesis H1 is accepted. The Santals are incapable of developing themselves, by their own efforts. Many government schemes and initiatives remain still unutilised due to their illiteracy, neo-literacy, barrier of language, lack of guidance, unawareness about the programmes etc. They should be motivated to come out from their isolation and should be aware about various government initiatives. Observed also that, availability of mass media with the Santals is too much limited, but however, accessibility to these media is somewhat better among them. Evening (17:30-18:00 Hrs.) found to be the best time for exposing to mass media and majority by respondents like to expose to mass media in group. Folk items and formal discussions were the preferable format in mass media. The study demands for coalition for traditional folk media with mass media to improved their quality of life and attaining empowerment.
A Short Verification of the Quality of Irrigation Water in the Tea-growing Districts of South India
Authors: Murugesan Palanivel , Anitha Jaganathan , Selvakumar Rajendran
Published: September 2021

Background: Variations in climatic conditions, irrigation facility and insect/pest management have brought about a massive impact on tea production. Among these the quality of the irrigation water and atmosphere related uncertainties were minimizing the tea production in right quantity and quality. The water utilized for irrigation systems can vary in quality depending on the nature and amount of dissolved salts. Minerals get dissolved into the irrigation water from various sources. They start from the disintegration of the stones and soil, including the decay of lime, gypsum and others broken up soil minerals. Salts go along with the water to the place wherever it is to being utilized. On account of the evaporation and filtration by sand particles, the salts present in the irrigation water get concentrated when the crop consumes water. Methods: Quality of the irrigation water was checked by assessing the pH, electrical conductivity, cations (Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+) and anions (Cl-, HCO3-, CO32-). For evaluating the irrigation water quality and there are seven irrigation water samples collected from seven tea planting districts (Valparai- Tamil Nadu, Coonoor - Tamil Nadu, Gudalur - Tamil Nadu, Wayanad - Kerala, Munnar - Kerala, Vandiperiyar - Kerala, Koppa - Karnataka) in the southern states of India. Result: After evaluations of water quality from various techniques indicated that the water in tea growing locations of the southern states of India is chemically sufficient for agricultural applications.

Authors: Ajidahun J.A. , Sebetha E.T.
Published: September 2021

Background: Grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a staple cereal crop in the semiarid regions of the world, notably in sub-Saharan Africa due to its ability to withstand drought. However, poor soil fertility is one factor that limits its production in small farmers’ fields. Methods: Field experiments were conducted at two locations in the North-West province of South Africa during the 2016/17 and 2017/18 planting seasons. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of plant density, nitrogen (N) fertilizer rates and cultivar on sorghum grain quality. Ash, fiber, oil, protein and starch content were analysed. Result: N fertilizer rate had a significant effect (P≤0.05) on sorghum ash content during the 2017/18 season. Sorghum without N application had significantly higher ash content (4.438%) than those fertilized with 100 and 150 kg N/ha. Cultivar had a significant effect (P less than 0.001) on protein content during the 2017/18 season. Sorghum cultivar PAN 8816 had a significantly higher protein content (8.87%) than PAN 8625. Location had a significant effect (P less than 0.001) on starch content during the 2016/17 season. Sorghum planted at Mafikeng had a significantly higher starch content (38.50%) than sorghum planted at Taung.

Abstract- This study aims to determine the level and factors that cause student anxiety during the Covid-19 pandemic. Respondents in this study were 1.013 students from five universities in three provinces in Indonesia, i.e., Lampung, Special Region of Yogyakarta, and South Sulawesi. The data were collected from 24th to 29th of April 2020. The data were obtained using a Covid-19 anxiety survey and a questionnaire about the factors causing student anxiety, which were distributed by utilizing google form. The results indicated that there were 222 students at a high and very high anxiety level with physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms. Student anxiety was triggered by two main factors, i.e., social limitation and coursework. To reduce their anxiety, the majority of respondents chose a religious approach rather than a cultural approach. Recommendations are given to counselors to include religiosity values in helping student anxiety. The university is also expected to be able to support students by providing internet quota assistance, organizing online lectures on an asynchronous model and allowing longer deadline for submission of coursework.
