Authors:   University of Guyana, Alleyne Alston , Steele Chamique ,   University of Guyana
Published: August 2024

According to studies, industrial water use comprises production processes, auxiliary processes, kitchen use, and outdoor use. Reducing industrial water use is dependent on the implementation of administrative, engineering, mechanical, and human controls. The objectives of this research were to assess the water use of a Soft Drink Plant; determine the water use ratio for a two-year period; and determine the plant’s compliance with local and international regulations for wastewater discharge. We also determined the level of success of implementing a water minimisation plan, whether there was an improvement in the Water Use Ratio, and compliance of the industry with local and international discharge regulations. The sequential transformative strategy was used to collect and analyse data so as to ascertain water usage and disposal, and a semi-structured interview was conducted to validate the non-existence of heavy metals in the wastewater discharged from the soft drink plant. The Soft Drink Plant’s Water Minimisation Plan 2013-2016 achieved a high level of success overall, with 74.42% of the activities implemented by the assigned completion dates. However, three of the five measures implemented recorded low levels of success. Paired sample t-tests revealed statistically significant differences in the water use ratio obtained for the periods 2013-2014, 2014-2015, and 2013-2015, although the differences were relatively small (t (df)=2.242, p=0.047; t (df)=2.592, p=0.025; and t (df)=6.250, p=0.000) for the respective periods. Six of the eleven tested parameters were statistically different when compared to the Coca-Cola Operating Requirements and Environmental Protection Agency standards, indicating a high variation in effluent discharge.

Memórias da corrupção no México: Uma reflexão pessoal
Authors: Nieto Nubia
Published: August 2024

In the last decades, Mexico has experienced an increase in drug trafficking and violence. Not to mention that corruption levels continue being high in this country. The involvement of politicians in corruption scandals seems to be a constant element no matter what party holds the presidency. Since 2000, Mexico has experienced a political transition process after the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) lost the presidency after holding it for 71-years. The National Action Party (PAN), right wing, ruled the country for 12 years (from 2000 to 2012), although the PRI recovered the presidency with Enrique Peña Nieto (2012-2018), the presidency is currently (2023) held by the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA), left populist wing. However, corruption and violence seems to be unstoppable. In this context, it is presented as a little personal reflection about the impact of corruption in my personal history as an individual living in Mexico in different stages of my life. This reflection does not intend to be a scientific contribution, but rather an exercise to explore personal experiences and feelings, based on national events and factual materials, which show how corruption is embodied in the socialization of rulers and citizens.

Authors: Abderrahmane Tamali , Mohammed Tamali , Nourredine Amardjia
Published: August 2024

The proposed approach utilizes the Robot Operating System (ROS) to simulate multi-robot collaboration across various scenarios, ensuring rigorous testing and validation of the algorithm. Our simulation environment encompasses complex tasks such as 3D digitalization, which demand precise coordination and efficient resource management among robots. The adaptive genetic algorithm (GA) continuously adjusts its parameters to improve performance, making it highly suitable for dynamic and unpredictable environments. Our results demonstrate that the adaptive GA significantly enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of Multi-Robot Task Allocation (MRTA) compared to traditional methods that lack optimization. By incorporating a cost function with various weighted factors, the task allocation process becomes both comprehensive and adaptable to specific mission requirements. This ensures that the robots can allocate tasks efficiently, even as conditions change. This study underscores the potential of adaptive genetic algorithms to advance the capabilities of mobile multi-robot systems, particularly in applications that require high levels of collaboration and precision. Our approach not only improves task allocation efficiency but also enhances the overall coordination and performance of the robotic system. The adaptability and robustness of the GA make it a promising solution for real-world applications, including search-and-rescue missions, environmental monitoring, and industrial automation. So, the potential of adaptive genetic algorithm presents a significant advancement in optimizing mobile multi-robot collaboration. Also, its ability to dynamically adjust to changing conditions and improve task allocation processes highlights its potential for a wide range of applications, marking a notable step forward in the field of collaborative robotics.
Contribution to the valorization of dune sand in road technique
Authors: Smaida Ali , Haddadi Smail , Nechnech Ammar , Cherfa Hayet
Published: August 2024

Road construction projects require the use of large quantities of good quality materials, which are not always available in the vicinity of the projects for use in order to create layers of pavement using hydraulic binders for the treatment of soils in place. This soil treatment technique consists of using lime and/or hydraulic binders to improve the soil characteristics. This technique has seen great development over the past twenty years. Soil treatment using products such as lime and/or hydraulic binders and/or cements allows the creation of backfill- and subgrade layers. This type of treatment requires a good knowledge of the material to be treated. This is the main reason why we undertook this study, which allows us not only to valorize local materials through this soil treatment technique and to overcome the shortage of noble materials, on the one hand but also to respond to economic and environmental aspects, on the other hand.

Authors: Alves Alana Rodrigues , César Mariana Cristina , Tancredo Mércia
Published: August 2024

Introduction: The dedo de moça pepper is spicy due to capsaicin, which activates receptors in sensory neurons, generating a burning sensation. Studies suggest that capsaicin-sensitive neurons, by releasing neuropeptides, may affect uterine contraction. Objective: To evaluate the effect of chronic administration of capsaicin extract (Cps) during pregnancy in Wistar rats and their fetuses. Methodology: Pregnant female Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 5/group): Group I – Negative Control; Group II – Positive Control; Group III – Cps 1 – 0.25 mL; Group IV – Cps 2 – 0.5 mL. Exposure was initiated after embryo implantation (3rd day of pregnancy) until full term (20th day of pregnancy), with gavage performed three times per week. Results: On the 20th day, pregnant rats were euthanized, and outcomes evaluated included weight gain, placental morphology, reproductive capacity, and embryonic/fetal development. Ingestion of capsaicin extract resulted in negative impacts on fetal intrauterine growth parameters and placental alterations, with deposition of atypical hyaline material for gestational age and changes in vascular structures. Conclusion: The results indicate that capsaicin extract interfered with placental exchange, leading to intrauterine growth restriction of the fetuses.

This paper aimed to investigate the perceptions of mathematics teachers in Saudi Arabia regarding the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) approach. A sample of 350 teachers from the Eastern Province completed a 40-item survey on their STEAM perceptions and teaching requirements. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses revealed overall positive perspectives, with 78.6% strongly agreeing that STEAM transforms classrooms into creative environments. However, just 58.4% felt it enabled active learning, and 67.4% were unsure about systemic support. Significant differences emerged based on teacher gender and qualifications, but not experience levels or stages. While largely optimistic attitudes exist toward STEAM's value, persistent resourcing, competency, and policy barriers likely impede classroom adoption. Recommendations encompass boosting investments in STEAM infrastructure, aligned teacher professional development, specialized materials and tools, and integration support across subjects. Further research incorporating mixed methods, expanded samples, and longitudinal tracking can delineate evidence-based strategies to catalyze effective STEAM adoption. The study recommended enhancing the effectiveness of the STEAM approach in education, especially in mathematics.

Dengan fokus pada pemahaman holistik terhadap dinamika infrastruktur pendidikan, penelitian ini melibatkan petugas pendidikan, guru, siswa, orang tua, dan anggota masyarakat lokal. Metode pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif, dan analisis dokumen, yang kemudian dianalisis secara tematis. Hasil analisis data menyoroti berbagai aspek ketersediaan sarana dan prasarana pendidikan, serta faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi dinamika tersebut. Adapun hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ketersediaan sarana dan prasarana pendidikan yang ada di SD Negeri Kemayoran 02 Bangkalan sudah memadai dan layak untuk digunakan karena sudah sesuai dengan standar Permendiknas RI Nomor 24 Tahun 2007 tentang sarana dan prasarana pendidikan. Namun, masih terdapat beberapa sarana dan prasarana yang belum layak atau belum ideal, seperti ruang pimpinan dan ruang perpustakaan yang belum mempunyai perabot dan peralatan yang lengkap. Selain itu, ruang pimpinan juga masih bergabung satu ruangan dengan ruang guru. Diharapkan penelitian ini akan memberikan gambaran tentang tantangan dan peluang dalam meningkatkan akses, kualitas, dan kesetaraan dalam sistem pendidikan.

Epistemologi, sebagai cabang filsafat yang menggali esensi ilmu pengetahuan, sering kali terlupakan dalam dunia riset. Banyak peneliti pemula cenderung menganggap epistemologi sebagai konsep filsafat yang terlalu abstrak dan tak berhubungan dengan metodologi. Akibatnya, riset sering kali tidak berakar pada realitas yang ingin diteliti, melainkan lebih terfokus pada pemilihan metode yang sudah dikuasai. Tujuan penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk mengetahui lebih dalam kegunaan epistemologi dalam kajian metodologi penelitian. Metode penelitian yang diterapkan adalah menggunakan sumber kepustakaan (Library Research). Pendekatan ini melibatkan eksplorasi bahan pustaka atau data sekunder, termasuk bahan primer seperti buku, jurnal, dan sejenisnya yang relevan dengan topik yang dibahas. Hasil penelitian menunjukan Epistemologi dalam perspektif Islam yaitu epistemologi relasional, dimana dari satu unsur selalu ada hubungannya dengan unsur yang lainnya. Secara keagamaan dalam Islam dikenal adanya tiga tahapan yaitu Iman, Islam dan Ihsan. Dalam klasifikasinya teori kebenaran menurut epistimologi Islam menjadi beberapa macam, diantaranya sebagai berikut: 1. Teori Korespondensi, 2. Teori Koherensi, 3. Teori Pragmatism.
