Authors: K SAKTHI VADIVEL , C SIVARAJ , K VIGNESHWARAN
Published: February 2022

The agitator bearing and shaft bending due to foreign materials is reduced by using stuffing box in the agitator between bearing unit and impeller. The foreign materials in the bagasse wet washing are collected by using SS Pivot Needles/Bars in the wet washing system. The vibrations which cause damage (cracks) in the pump pipe line are reduced by using rubber bellow between the pump and delivery pipeline. The rubber bellow absorbs the vibration and deflections due to vibration which protects the pump and pipeline from damages. Earlier the foreign materials were struck up in the pump impeller. These foreign materials were removed by dismantling the entire pump set up. In the current work, the design of suction line was altered by introducing an inspection dummy. At the end of the suction line, through the new design the foreign materials were moved off from the pump impeller easily by removing the inspection dummy instead of dismantling the entire pump set up. Through the new design, the efficiency of the wet washing plant is increased upto 55%. Further, the downtime of wet washing plant also reduced and availability of equipment is increased.

A Sustentabilidade como Elemento Indutor para um Estado Ambiental Constitucional de Direito
Authors: Flores Guilherme Nazareno , Cruz Paulo Marcio da
Published: February 2022

Em um mundo que já não existem fronteiras nacionais, a lógica mecânica de todo o processo econômico tem no meio ambiente a fonte inesgotável de matéria-prima e de energia para a produção de bens de consumo com o objetivo de obter-se o lucro, fazendo girar a economia. E isso é obtido através de um permanentemente sistema de motivação/indução das pessoas ao consumo, demonstrando as engrenagens de um sistema absolutamente degradante ao meio ambiente da Terra, casa de todos. Por sua vez, o modelo de Estado Constitucional Moderno, com sua arquitetura jurídica da Governança Ambiental – nacional, mas com pretensão global –, mostra-se claramente insuficiente e esgotado ante aos novos cenários transnacionais causados pela pós-modernidade, e assim, incapaz de fazer frente aos elementos multidimensionais e complexos causadores da crise ambiental que vivemos. Este artigo pretende discutir as nossas teorias e propostas para uma nova arquitetura de governança jurídica transnacional que privilegie a sustentabilidade como elemento indutor do Direito para a criação de Estados Ambientais Constitucionais de Direito, com as bases teóricas trazidas por Nicholás Georgescu-Roegen que, através da Entropia e Termodinâmica (segunda Lei da Física) e contrário à estrutura do pensamento econômico neoclássico, considera o meio ambiente e a finitude de bens naturais, como fonte de energia, matéria prima e de resíduos em todo o processo econômico, sustentando o modo de vida vigente no mundo e que, nos tem alertado a ciência, pode trazer graves consequências à humanidade nesta ou nas próximas gerações.

Authors: Adamyan K. G. , Azarapetyan L. G.
Published: February 2022

Under our observation were undergoing 141 patients with non-rheumatic AF. The study included patients with paroxysmal, persistent and permanent forms of AF and as a control group - patients without AF. The similar analysis of the obtained results showed that patients with paroxysmal and persistent AF types have a statistically significant increase in levels of CRP and IL-6 compared to pateints with chronic form and the control group. Therefore, we can suggest that the increased concentration of inflammatory markers such as CRP and IL-6 may serve as a predictor of the appearance of paroxysmal form or recurrence of AF.

Lactobacillus crispatus DSM25988 as novel bioactive agent to co-aggregate Streptococcus pyogenes and to exclude it by binding to human cells
Authors: Reiprich A. , Skalden L. , Raab A. , Bolotina N. , Lang C.
Published: February 2022

Streptococcus pyogenes, a group A streptococcus, is the major bacterial pathogen responsible for acute bacterial infection of the human oropharynx and the causative agent of scarlet fever. Estimates of the global burden of S. pyogenes related diseases revealed 616 million cases of pharyngitis, and at least 517,000 deaths due to severe invasive diseases and sequelae. Here we describe Lactobacillus crispatus DSM25988 that was identified among hundreds of Lactobacillus strains (referring to all organisms that were classified as Lactobacillaceae until 2020) showing ability to prevent adhesion of S. pyogenes to Detroit 562 cells, and to exhibit a masking and co-aggregating effect on S. pyogenes in vitro. L. crispatus DSM25988 also inhibits invasion of cultured human epithelial pharyngeal cells by S. pyogenes. Competitive binding to fibronectin might be involved in the inhibition process. Antiviral activity of the L. crispatus DSM25988 cells were identified in an in vitro cell model demonstrating that L. crispatus effectively excludes viruses from epithelial cells using SARS-CoV2 proteins as a model. This finding points to the potential of DSM25988 to protect cells from virus infection. Biological activity is retained in heat treated cells. The heat-treated Lactobacillus strain was further developed into functional throat lozenges, wherein its biological activity is stably maintained in the formulation. Lozenges containing L. crispatus DSM25988 underwent testing in an uncontrolled, prospective user study in 44 subjects with symptoms of sore throat for a period of up to 14 days. The study data shows promising safety and efficacy of the medical device when used against symptoms of sore throat like scratchy feeling, hoarse voice and swallowing pain.
Early Pars Plana Vitrectomy in Acute Endophthalmitis: The Manchester Series
Authors: Sousa David Cordeiro , Jalil Assad , Patton Niall , Dhawahir-Scala Felipe , Kim Jennifer , Charles Stephen , Turner George , Ivanova Tsveta
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

Current literature lacks good-quality evidence regarding the outcomes of early pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for acute exogenous endophthalmitis. The aim for this study was to analyze and discuss the outcomes of PPV for endophthalmitis in a UK tertiary hospital.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

This study was a retrospective case series. The clinical records of consecutive patients who had PPV for acute exogenous endophthalmitis were reviewed. Demographic data, etiology, timing of onset, timing of PPV, intraand postoperative complications, baseline and final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), therapeutic regimens, and microbiology details were collected. Primary efficacy and safety outcome measures were BCVA improvement of two or more logMAR lines and intra- or postoperative complications, respectively.

RESULTS:

Forty-one patients with a median age of 76 (interquartile range, 64 to 82) years were studied. The most common etiology was intravitreal injection (41%), followed by phacoemulsification (34%). Median interval to PPV was 1.0 (interquartile range, 1.0 to 3.0) days. In a multivariate model controlling for age, baseline BCVA, microbiology positivity, and etiology (post-intravitreal injection), PPV after 24 hours was seven times more likely to achieve significant BCVA improvement (odds ratio, 7.47; 95% confidence interval, 1.12 to 49.66;
P
= .038). PPV within 24 hours of presentation was associated with more intraoperative complications.

CONCLUSIONS:

Favorable outcomes may be achieved with current antibiotic regimens and PPV for endophthalmitis. The series suggests that an early surgical intervention may be associated with poorer functional outcomes. Tap and inject at presentation, followed by a semi-urgent PPV as required, seems to be a sensible approach.

Preparing for International Leadership in Higher Education
Authors: GuramatunhuCooper Nyasha M. , Lyons Linda M. , Scott Heather I.
Published: February 2022

Innovation in technology, migration, significant economic growth, and shifts in geo-politics have propelled the rate and impact of globalization. Institutions of higher education worldwide have had to respond and adapt to new dynamics created by these conditions. Where institutions might have thought of their brand as confined to a town or state, globalization has pushed institutions to think beyond borders and engage with the world at large in order to foster the development of global learners and citizens. The emergence of international leadership in higher education through initiatives such as education abroad, satellite campuses, faculty and staff exchanges, and MOUs between institutions is evidence that higher education is a global enterprise for which African American higher education leaders must be prepared. This chapter presents self-mentorship and the emotionally intelligent leadership framework to develop knowledge, skills, and awareness for effective and successful international leadership in higher education.

Published: February 2022

While mentoring is part of being a faculty member, Black faculty carry the heavy burden of being perceived by colleagues and students to be the only ones who can adequately mentor minority students. With this heavy burden of mentoring on top of teaching, service, and research, many Black faculty are unable to balance the load, and ultimately one or more areas of their teaching, service, and research suffer. This chapter provides guidance, strategies, and tools from the authors that provide Black faculty with the skills necessary to be successful in academia and avoid burnout. This chapter also provides personal insights from the authors' experiences with burnout.

Published: February 2022

Online scavenger hunts have become increasingly popular in recent months and have drawn the interest of K-12 educators as they switched to remote and virtual teaching. However, there is a gap in the literature associated with the benefits and challenges of creating online scavenger hunts for K-5 learners. This study addresses that gap as preservice teachers enrolled in a content area literacy course designed K-5 content area-based online scavenger hunts. Results from this action research study indicate that preservice teachers found that they could differentiate the scavenger hunts to make them engaging for learners while also teaching them technology and literacy skills. Data revealed that the challenges included the time it takes to create an online scavenger hunt as well as the access learners may have to complete the activity.
Understanding the Effects of the Digital Divide on Remote Learning in Elementary Education
Authors: Eyyam Ramadan , Dogruer Nazan , Menevis Ipek
Published: February 2022

As many sectors in the world have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, education has also been affected. Regardless of the readiness of teachers and students, they were forced to suddenly switch to remote instruction not to interrupt education. In this process, especially students who do not have access to appropriate technologies have fallen behind their friends due to the digital divide. This educational barrier especially affected elementary students as this is the initial step in education where these younger students should receive education synchronously with their teachers and friends in the classroom. Moreover, if families cannot provide adequate opportunities or access to their children due to their socio-economic status, students who are deprived of this education fall behind from education at this critical age, and this is something that can negatively affect their entire lives. For this reason, this chapter raises awareness about the digital divide and to propose ways for teachers to overcome this obstacle, especially in primary education.

In today's globalized world, with mandatory changes in the way businesses operate due to COVID-19, the criteria for organizations to be ahead of competitors within a globally competitive environment during pandemic has been—and continues to be—associated with their qualified human resources management strategies and the usage of these resources. The concept of “employee-friendly” human resources management has become clear in our lives in the rapidly changing environmental conditions as a result of COVID-19. In the new normal, the changing dimensions of human resources deeply affect employee motivation while the way of satisfying the employee needs of organizations that have developed with continuous changes are differentiating. Employees, who have been motivated well by their organizations and treated as one of the most important dynamics of the organizations, are keen to seize organizational commitment and adopt the organization vision. Therefore, organizations need to increase responsibilities to ensure employee satisfaction in the remote and flexible working system.

Authors: Suthar Anilkumar C. , Joshi Vedant , Prajapati Ramesh
Published: February 2022

Machine learning has been proven to be a game-changing technology in every domain since the late 20th century. There have been many advancements in healthcare not only for the diagnosis of disease but advanced in the prognosis of the diseases. Artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) has progressed a lot in the medical domain in just a couple of decades and played a very important role in exploring human data to understand human body behavior better than ever before, for predicting and classifying all kinds of medical images or videos. A recent and best-used application is detecting COVID-19 by just checking the chest x-ray in a very accurate manner that can be used without human presence and stop the spread of the virus resulting in fewer doctors getting affected. It is known as generative adversarial networks. Some of the types of GANs used for differentiate domains without human supervision and many such mutations of GANs are useful in the health sector. This is simply a quick review of various technologies that will become more in-depth as time goes on.

Published: February 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased fear and uncertainty, creating an intense focus on safety, skewing the relationships between the government, organizations, and individuals. Currently, the onus to deal with the changes has been mainly on individuals. However, the pandemic creates trends and actions that add an equity lens guiding organizations, governments, and businesses. This equity lens promises a better future with more significant workplace equity. This chapter identifies four crucial areas where this is happening: 1) community and civic engagement, 2) trust and transparency, 3) increasing diversity in the communications workforce, and 4) mental health support. The challenge is to make the currently emerging new approaches and processes become part of our organizational lives and our new normal. It is the opportunity to make our positive responses to the COVID-19 pandemic permanent ones, increasing diversity, inclusion, equity, engagement, and health.
Unconscious Bias in the COVID-19 Era
Authors: Gordon Pamela Ann , Overbey Julie A.
Published: February 2022

Bias, both conscious and unconscious, is defined in many ways. Bias incorporates implicit stereotypes and prejudices, impacts judgments, is displayed in nonverbal behaviors, and may result in a dissociation between what a person believes is right and unconscious beliefs that cause negative actions. Understanding and recognizing the negative impact of unconscious, or implicit, bias during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020-2021 is an important leadership tool. Unconscious bias manifests in many forms. A clear awareness of these forms of bias, learning to recognize the biases, and understanding how to reduce the negative impact of unconscious bias are important to leaders in workplaces upended by the effects if the pandemic. Twelve forms of unconscious bias, its manifestation in the workplace, and the impact of COVID-19 are explored.
Psychosocial Support and Education of Vulnerable Children
Authors: Mathwasa Joyce , Ntshuntshe Zoleka , Taukeni Simon G.
Published: February 2022

As confirmed by organizations such as UNAIDS, UNICEF, NGOs, and various authors, the psychological, social, physical, and emotional turmoil caused by varying degrees of violence, abuse, neglect, abandonment, and bereavement have negatively impacted orphans and vulnerable children's education. However, very few studies have been conducted to document the psychosocial support provided to OVC in public schools. Psychosocial support is rarely available to vulnerable children around the world despite the fact that it is a fundamental right for children who have largely gone unacknowledged. Despite signing the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, many governments pay lip service to them; thus, the purpose of this chapter is to contextualize them. Educational stakeholders must pay close attention and contribute to the provision of inclusive education that meets the needs of all children. This chapter contributes to a better understanding of the difficulties teachers face when providing psychosocial support to OVC as well as interventions to address these difficulties.
Time to Move School Social Work to Proactive Services for Students
Authors: Branson Dana C.
Published: February 2022

This chapter discusses the increase in trauma-informed schools in response to an appreciation of traumatic aftermath and its potential to create educational challenges to students and institutions. Neurological changes due to trauma, common and paradoxical behaviors displayed by students, educators feeling unprepared to provide emotional supports to students, and the benefits of a trauma-informed philosophy will be discussed. Additionally, the need for school social workers (SSW) to accomplish the goals of trauma-informed schools, the barriers to hiring and sustaining SSW at the appropriate ratio for students and school environment, and innovative recommendations to obtain SSW will be presented. SSW are in a unique position to provide individual, group, family, classroom, and community services to support the trauma-informed mission, as well as to assist with the increase in social services schools are increasingly being called upon to provide, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Leadership and Gender
Authors: Shava George N.
Published: February 2022

The chapterpresents an overview of challenges facing women in school leadership. The study investigated the challenges faced by female school heads because of their gender in one rural district in Zimbabwe. Gender disparities in favour of men have become a norm among the challenges faced by female heads. These include negative attitude from some parents and teachers undermined because of their gender and lack of confidence. Also, multiple conflicts emanating from teachers resulted in women leaders being victims of gender discrimination in the schools. This study derived from a qualitative case study undertaken in Zimbabwe that was conducted to establish challenges faced by women in higher education leadership. Grounded in the qualitative paradigm and using the social realist theoretical analytical framework, the research findings indicated that cultural and social barriers continue to grow and pose a formidable barrier to women in leadership positions.

Published: February 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a shift from the physical classrooms to online learning environments. While this shift has been perceived as beneficial in many ways, the absence of physical interactions within online learning platforms poses challenges for English language learners to practice their English communications skills. Nonetheless, the development of computer technologies presents new opportunities for English language education. On the basis that digital video production supporting knowledge building can enhance learners' English communication skills, the present research reports an innovative educational approach through the digital video production task for learners to enhance their English language skills in an online class environment. Analyses of data based on an assessment of learners' pedagogical performances and a thematic analysis based on reflective journals were presented and discussed in this chapter that contribute to the literature by demonstrating how English learners improved their English language skills through digital video production tasks.

Authors: Moonga Fred , Mabundza Lungile P. , Hlatshwayo Prudence D.
Published: February 2022

Various countries experience challenges at different times. The challenges have historically been of demographic, economic, political, social, and technological nature but influenced by globalisation. In response to these challenges, governments design and implement different reforms involving resource allocation and delivery mechanisms. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a unique challenge. Some countries intervened with various stimulus packages to save economies and other sectors, but not much in the higher education sector. Teaching and learning had to transition from the traditional face-to-face between learners and teachers in one room at the same time to online. Although literature is still relatively scanty on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on higher education and other sectors, there may be consensus that it affected almost all aspects of human life. Preventing the spread of COVID-19 was a challenge globally. This chapter analyses the reforms in higher education occasioned by COVID-19 in Eswatini.

Published: February 2022

The chapter focuses on aspects of digital transformation connected with managing human resources (HR). It aims to present trends brought to the working environment using technologies and tools to manage people and their knowledge. Firstly, the authors aim to specify selected areas of HR management influenced by the development of information technologies based on the literature review and a professional opinion. Four areas were selected: a hybrid world of work, robotic/intelligent process automation (RPA/IPA), talents, and knowledge management in the digital era. The research statements were prepared for the round table discussion with experts and a survey using the CAWI method. Practitioners' opinion was compared with theoretical findings and statements. Despite the research limitations, the results bring topical information and complement the professionals' views. Overall, respondents agree that discussed trends in HR bring new opportunities, freedom, and flexibility, but also some challenges. RPA/IPA solutions free people from routine work and give space for creativity.

Authors: Chawla Raghu Nandan , Saxena Deepak , Goyal Praveen
Published: February 2022

Organisations are increasingly attempting to digitally transform their business models. Effective management of these new-age business models requires specific skills. In this regard, among all the C-suite leaders, the role of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) is the most impacted. The role itself is getting transformed from traditional infrastructure and application management to becoming a strategic business partner. As a result, expectations from the CIOs have increased manifold though many organisations remain dissatisfied with the delivery of digital transformation. Thus, specific to CIO role perspective, both in practice and literature, there exists a gap between what is expected versus what is delivered. To address this gap, through this study in context of digital transformation (DT), the authors deliberate on how the role of the CIO is transforming, outlining novel responsibilities and vital leadership skills that will be perquisite to contribute effectively for the future CIO position.
An Ecosystem Governance Lens for Public Sector Digital Transformation
Authors: Simmonds Hamish
Published: February 2022

The world's public sectors continue to introduce and struggle with digital transformation programs, responding to new demands and requirements to provide and interact with stakeholders. Far from merely digitizing services for efficiency, these changes respond to the sociotechnical reconfiguration of interdependent technology, people, relationships, culture, and organizational structures. This chapter presents a case study of digital transformation in the New Zealand public sector, examining the role of governance mechanisms in enabling this complex sociotechnical reconfiguration. The chapter draws from the increasingly prevalent lens of ecosystems in the strategy, information technology, and marketing literature to frame and investigate ecosystem governance mechanisms as central to the process of digital transformation.
A Process-Oriented Framework for Regulating Artificial Intelligence Systems
Authors: Stranieri Andrew , Sun Zhaohao
Published: February 2022

Frameworks for the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) systems are emerging; some are based on regulation theories; others are more technologically focused. Regulation of AI systems is likely to emerge in an ad-hoc, unstructured, and uncoordinated fashion that renders high level frameworks philosophically interesting but of limited benefit in practice. In this paper, the task of arriving at a collection of interventions that regulate an AI system is taken to be a process-oriented problem. It presents a process-oriented framework for the design of regulating systems by deliberating groups. It also discusses regulations of AI systems and responsibility, mechanisms and institutions, key elements for regulating AI systems. The proposed approach might facilitate research and development of responsible AI, explainable AI, and ethical AI for an ethical and inclusive digitized society. It also has implications for the development of e-business, e-services, and e-society.

The pandemic has changed the world immensely and provided a natural experiment for the field of people analytics. Herein, the authors analyze how this has changed employees' priorities, what the future might look like, and how corporations can respond. This is the first study of its kind to examine the entire construct of Glassdoor and map the changes it reveals during the pandemic, using machine-learning and NLP techniques. Individual ratings were used to create a model of satisfaction that would provide us with a framework to see which factors drive employee satisfaction and what changed during the pandemic. The results show that culture and management are the most critical organizational factors in a time of crisis, with career reducing in importance. Culture appears to be the vaccine that immunizes against tough times. Although actual compensation did not increase, its rating did so during the pandemic, showing that career and compensation are rated more on external factors. Most employees pointed to the bureaucracy and silo mentalities of banks as the nexus complicating their lives.
Masters of Change?
Authors: Bailey Lucy
Published: February 2022

This chapter reflects on the author's experiences as Director of the Master Trainers strand of the Bangladesh College Education Development Project, a World Bank-funded programme to upskill pedagogical skills of Bangladeshi college teachers. The chapter contextualises the project in terms of educational and economic challenges in Bangladesh and discusses the challenges and opportunities afforded by the model of professional development adopted. Although the programme is still in process, which precludes detailed programme impact analysis, three dimensions of the project are identified as promoting effective change in college education: teacher ownership of the initiative, master trainers' engagement in their masters studies, and attention to means to maximise large-scale change. It is argued that cohort delivery of a Master's degree is more economic than sending individuals overseas for post-graduate study. In addition, although issues of teacher ownership are complex, the chapter describes how participants were given opportunities to evaluate and implement their own priorities for change.

Authors: Jha Anand , Jha Nisha
Published: February 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic rattled every aspect of human life including education. To curb the spread of novel coronavirus, lockdown was implemented by Government of India, compelling all educational campuses to close. The education system had never thought of such an unprecedented situation, and thus, it caused a colossal disparity within it. In India, almost 32 crore students were unable to attend schools and colleges. But teaching community responded intelligently by transforming offline classes to online classes using various available online tools and platforms in order to ensure the continuity of teaching-learning. This chapter discusses different aspects of pedagogical transformation to online classes, like essentialities, role of ICT, government initiatives, implicit digital opportunities, practical learning concerns, change in attitude, perception, behaviour, thought process of both learners and teachers, and the rise of Ed-Tech start-ups in India.
Emergency Remote Teaching and Learning
Authors: Cordeiro João
Published: February 2022

This chapter provides a first-hand account of an emergency remote teaching and learning (ERTL) experience, between Europe and Asia, during the COVID-19 pandemic on ICT in education. The relevance of this experience is fourfold: 1) the course delivered is on the topic of ICT; 2) the course is part of a Master's degree in education where the majority of the students was either an in-service or pre-service teacher; 3) the lecturer has a multidisciplinary background, covering computer science, media production, and education; and 4) the course was conducted online, adopting (and adapting) several well-known pedagogical practices, such as the flipped classroom, gamification, learn-by-doing, computer-supported cooperative learning (CSCL), and video-based learning. The first part of the study involves a descriptive research approach, akin to the case-study methodology, followed by a discussion and lessons learned from the experience.

Published: February 2022

Ubuntu is a widely recognized genre of Bantu ideology. In today's volatile and ambiguous business world, ubuntu values are more important than ever because during these days of the COVID-19 pandemic, joining together helps us overcome our economic, social, and political problems. Across the globe, students and academics keep calling for radical challenges to institutional symbols, cultures, and practices, including the call to ‘decolonise' the curriculum and pedagogy. The author recommends a paradigm shift under which HEIs should focus on the transformation of university designs, teaching, and assessment practices by advocating ubuntu currere, which ensures inclusivity and social justice. This chapter calls for a reorientation of multilingual and bilingual education towards the African value system of ubuntu as a catalyst for restoring social justice for the people whose languages were relegated to the lowest social status.

An Empirical Study of Virtual Social Networks
Authors: Yu Liguo , Li Yingmei
Published: February 2022

Virtual social network is a kind of social network established through indirect interactions between individuals, especially through online interactions. Virtual social network has significant implications on business operations, governing, scientific research, and social relations. This paper describes several virtual social networks and studies their properties and effects using empirical approach and computer simulations. Furthermore, the authors find that these virtual social networks have similar distributions with respect to the frequency of nodes and different edges. These distributions are similar between directed networks and undirected networks. In addition, through simulations they demonstrate that the roles played by different nodes in a virtual social network are unequal. Limitations of this study and future research directions are also presented.
