Metacognitive Abilities on E-Learning Outcomes among Senior Secondary School Students: A Comparative Analysis across School Types
Authors: Verma Ravi Kant , Gupta Dr. Satyendra
Published: May 2024

The study embarked on a comprehensive exploration of metacognitive abilities and attitudes towards e-Learning among senior secondary school students in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. Through a meticulously designed normative survey approach, a representative sample of 580 students from diverse schools within the district was selected using a stratified random sampling technique. To capture the multifaceted dimensions of the research objectives, two distinct measurement tools were employed: Punita Govil's Metacognition Inventory and a bespoke Attitude Towards e-Learning Scale developed specifically for this study. The data obtained from these instruments underwent rigorous analysis employing a combination of descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. Mean standard deviation and t-test calculations provided initial insights into the dataset's characteristics, while a sophisticated two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to uncover nuanced relationships between e-Learning, Metacognitive Abilities, and student attitudes. Contrary to the null hypotheses posited, the findings unveiled significant disparities in the main effects of both e-Learning and School Types on students' Metacognitive Abilities. Furthermore, the interaction effect between e-Learning and school types emerged as a significant determinant of Metacognitive Abilities among the senior secondary school cohort. These findings underscore the intricate interplay between pedagogical approaches, technological interventions, and educational contexts in shaping students' cognitive and affective engagement with e-Learning platforms. Such insights hold profound implications for educational practitioners and policymakers striving to optimize the integration of digital learning modalities within the secondary education landscape, particularly in the context of rapidly evolving educational paradigms and the burgeoning significance of digital literacy skills.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the storage of strawberries under LED lights on ‘Albion’ strawberry quality. The treatments were applied as follows; (1) storage under continuous blue, red, and ultraviolet-A (UVA) LED light, (2) storage in the dark conditions (control), and (3) storage in the dark conditions after 1 h UVA (UVAh) LED lighting. Strawberries were stored at a temperature of 4±1oC with 85-90% relative humidity for 10 days. In the study, analyses were conducted on the total anthocyanin content, color (L*, hue angle, redness index), total soluble solids (TSS), fructose, glucose, total sugar content, titratable acidity (TA), fruit firmness (N), and weight loss at the start of the experiment and at 2-day intervals during storage. According to the results, the storage of strawberries under continuous red-LED light was successful in improving the anthocyanin and TSS contents, while preserving fruit firmness and reducing weight loss. Moreover, UVA treatment was effective in maintaining the L*, a*, and b* color values, whereas UVAh was effective on the hue angle and redness index. Furthermore, UVAh treatment caused a decrease in the glucose, fructose, and total sugar content and, in the titratable acidity of the strawberries.

Authors: Engelking Toby , Mihsein Jenna , Jones Kelly , Adlam Anna-Lynne R.
Published: May 2024

The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in dramatic changes to social interaction and service access. The effect of this on the mental health of children and young people with acquired brain injuries (ABI) remains relatively unexplored. Nineteen parents of children and young people with ABIs (one parent of each child, representing 19 children) completed questionnaires on service access and the mental health of their children. Three parent-child dyads (n=6 participants) also completed semi-structured interviews. Results revealed children and young people with ABI experienced greater peer problems and emotional problems than those without an ABI during Covid-19. Interviews found that parents felt unsupported with their children’s education and they experienced isolation. This study shows the mental health risk of social isolation for this population but also explores what positives can be learned from the Covid-19 pandemic such as, the benefits of a less demanding learning environment and online/in-person hybrid service delivery.

Effect of O2/n-C5H12 Ratio on Oxygenates Production from Plasma N-pentane Partial Oxidation
Authors: Liu Ying , Li Kai , He Zijun , Zhang Liancheng , Zhang Xuming
Published: May 2024

Objective: Non-thermal plasma is a promising method for producing clean fuels. This work provides a deeper understanding of the impact of O2/n-C5H12 ratio on the partial oxidation of n-pentane from both physical and chemical perspectives. Moreover, this work offers insight into improving fuel combustion efficiency and technical support for the preparation of clean fuels. Methods: An experimental system based on dielectric barrier discharge plasma was established. The discharge characteristics and product generation status of n-pentane partial oxidation were measured by changing the concentration of oxygen and n-pentane to evaluate different O2/n-C5H12 ratios. Results: Research on discharge characteristics showed that the O2/n-C5H12 ratio did not affect the discharge mode, and typical Lissajous shapes were present at different ratios. Changing the O2/n-C5H12 ratio affected the oxygen concentration, average electron energy or electron density, and background temperature. As the O2/n-C5H12 ratio increased, the conversion of the n-pentane partial oxidation reaction increased. However, changing the O2/n-C5H12 ratio did not affect the type of generated products. The oxygenates exhibited a volcano curve, and an O2/n-C5H12 ratio of 1.00 achieved the highest selectivity of 35.1%. As the O2/n-C5H12 ratio continued to increase, the selectivity of oxygenates decreased and the selectivity of CO2 increased. This was potentially due to a shift from partial oxidation toward complete oxidation, which led to the generation of secondary pollutants. Thus, higher O2/n-C5H12 ratios were not conducive to clean fuel production and environmental friendliness. Conclusion: In the partial oxidation of n-pentane, the highest clean fuel production rate was achieved when the O2/n-C5H12 ratio was 1.00. When this ratio exceeded 1.00, the reaction shifted toward complete oxidation, producing secondary pollutants. This study provides ideas for improving fuel combustion efficiency and technical support for the preparation of clean fuels.

Authors: Castro Silvania Uchôa de , Sales Luís Carlos
Published: May 2024

Na perspectiva de contribuir com os estudos que buscam investigar a valorização do magistério, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o cumprimento da Lei do Piso Salarial Profissional Nacional nos municípios piauienses. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental e bibliográfica, com foco na legislação nacional e municipal e na análise do vencimento-base inicial dos professores. Como fonte de coleta de dados, foram utilizadas as tabelas de vencimentos, referentes ao ano de 2022, e questionários semiestruturados aplicados com professores, dirigentes de sindicatos dos servidores municipais e secretários municipais de educação dos municípios pesquisados. As principais referências teóricas deste estudo foram os estudos de Gatti e Barreto (2009); Alves e Pinto (2011); Fernandes e Rodriguez (2010), Sales e França (2018), dentre outros estudiosos, bem como produções acadêmicas sobre a temática. Verificamos que nem todos os municípios investigados cumpriram a legislação quanto ao reajuste do piso. Dos dez municípios pesquisados, seis concederam o percentual referente à Lei do Piso e, destes, três apresentaram reajuste acima do que determinou a legislação federal. Entretanto três municípios não seguiram o que determinou a lei apresentando percentual inferior à orientação legal, e um dos municípios não apresentou o percentual de reajuste do vencimento. Os dados do questionário revelaram que, de modo geral, os professores apresentaram uma visão positiva quanto à avaliação da Lei do Piso no que se refere ao vencimento, embora destaquem que essa lei ainda não proporcionou a valorização profissional tão almejada pela categoria. No geral, ressaltamos a importância da criação do Piso Salarial Profissional Nacional para a busca da valorização do profissional da educação básica.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) being a typical therapeutic approach. Objectives: In this comparative study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of nicorandil for periprocedural myocardial injury in patients undergoing PCI. Methods: This comparative study was conducted at Ayub Teaching Hospital from September 2023 to December 2023. Data from 90 patients was recruited for the research using inclusion and exclusion screening standards. Our study was performed on 90 patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients from Group 1 were different from those in Group 2. Group A: the critical study parameters will switch between those patients who received nicorandil and Group B: non-nicorandil patients. Baseline demographic data, past medical history, and relevant laboratory values and clinical characteristics were documented for all patients. In addition, an intraoperative laboratory investigation was conducted, including cardiac biomarkers. Results: Research data were drawn from 90 patients whose gender wasn't a factor based on the research protocol. In Group A, the mean age of the patients was 62 years. Players in group A played for 4 ± 8.5 years. In team B, the players had a slightly longer experience and played for 63. Humans on Earth could do the same, and it could significantly impact future generations: ± 7. 9 years. Of 58 men and 32 women in the control group, there were two persons and persons in the experimental group, respectively. Only one stent differed between the two groups; however, the number was similar. 8 ± 0. 6 mmol/l in the tricorandil group and 1. +9 ± 0 in Case 1. Patients in the Nicorandil group displayed the lowest level of heart problem-causing protein (troponin) at the peak (5. There is a statistically significant 1.8-fold (2 ng/mL versus seven ng/mL) decline in serum lysozyme levels in the group administered rhG-CSF.

Conclusion: It is concluded that nicorandil shows positive results for the efficacy (the ability of a drug to bring the desired effect) and safety of the drug in reducing myocardial injury and in maintaining the function of myocardial during percutaneous coronary intervention in patients.
Slovenia: From the Protection of Acquired Rights, Legitimate Expectations and the Principle of Solidarity to Financial Sustainability Constrains — What Does the Future Hold?
Authors: Mišič Luka , Strban Grega
Published: May 2024

This chapter, grounded in most relevant Slovenian literature on social security law, provides a general overview of the Slovenian social security system. However, the authors approach the overview from the perspective of long-term sustainability, adding specific topics, such as the potential future interplay between public and private income responsibility, upcoming healthcare and pension reform, and the introduction of new branches of social insurance, to the general overview. Examining the Slovenian Constitution, they address distinct social security (social insurance) schemes, such as the mandatory health insurance, pension and disability, or the developing long-term care insurance scheme, alongside the social assistance scheme, which is in place as a subsidiary safety net aimed at preventing poverty and social exclusion. The authors briefly address other notions in social security, such as social damages and cover the basic elements of social procedural law. Further, they address substantial and formal or organisational aspects of social security or social security administration.
Poland: Social Law and Social Security — Disproportionality to Demographic Challenges
Authors: Barański Michał
Published: May 2024

Social law exists in Poland as an area of research and didactics. However, it is questionable whether social law constitutes a separate scientific discipline (this is the case in Germany, for example). It is partly caused in Poland by the lack of a legal definition of social law. However, it does not change the fact that Poland is currently facing the massive challenge of mastering the demographic crisis and limiting its adverse effects, which requires undertaking deep systemic reforms, especially in such areas as healthcare, social assistance, employment policy, social insurance, and family policy. The most critical factors contributing to demographic ageing in Poland are falling fertility rates and increasing life expectancy. Moreover, the ageing of the post-war baby boomers contributes to demographic ageing in Poland. It is also worth signalling the low labour force participation of older age groups, which consequently means that the actual number of pensioners in Poland is higher than the demographic situation would indicate. All these phenomena undoubtedly pose a challenge to Poland’s social security and healthcare systems. The point of reference for the noted considerations was the European Social Charter, which Poland acceded to in 1997 (Poland was bound by the provisions of all 19 articles of the second part of the Charter, but excluding some paragraphs of these articles). This study first shows the status of the regulation of social rights at the level of the 1997 Polish Constitution. Considering the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Tribunal, the following are described: 1) the right to healthcare and the citizen’s right to equal access to publicly funded healthcare services, 2) the right to social security, 3) assistance to persons with disabilities, 4) the family’s right to assistance from the state, and 5) the protection of children’s rights. Next, the study presents the place of social rights regulations in the Polish legal system. Then, focusing on Poland’s realisation of the right to social security under the European Social Charter, it presents the conclusions of the European Committee of Social Rights from the reporting cycles to date, starting from 1997. Finally, the study details current regulatory issues in the field of social law, showing the problems of sustainable development in light of the aforementioned demographic challenges.
Hungary: Social Challenges of an Aging Society
Authors: Tóth Hilda , Mélypataki Gábor
Published: May 2024

One of the main challenges facing the Hungarian social security system is demographic change. The steadily shrinking labour force in a pre-ageing society will soon pose a problem for finance. In the current payments model, contributions should cover the entire expenditure side, which already works only with corrections. And changes in the structure of society will raise a host of issues for which the present legislator is not prepared. This study highlights these important issues such that, together, we can find good practices to prevent the demographic changes that are a harbinger of the future.

A comprehensive investigation of soil properties along the Abuja-Lokoja Road, focusing on samples A and B located between KM51 + 300 to KM51 + 200 and KM45+100 to M51+000 respectively utilizing site analysis, laboratory testing, and comparative analysis, the study identifies critical distinctions in soil composition and engineering behaviours. Sample A, classified as CH (clay of high plasticity), exhibits a moisture content of 12.6% and a density of 1.940 g/cc in contrast, Sample B, classified as GM (gravelly material), has a higher moisture content of 13.8% and a denser structure at 2.100g/cc. Despite differing compositions, both samples demonstrate comparable load-bearing capacities, reflected in California Bearing Ratio (CBR) values at 100% moisture content. Sample A records 32.7% (unsoaked) and 24.6% (soaked), while Sample B exhibits 32.7% (unsoaked) and 26.2% (soaked), indicating similar strength under specific moisture conditions. Further analysis reveals a slightly higher Liquid Limit (LL) for Sample A at 41% compared to Sample B's 40%, with closely aligned Plasticity Index (PI) values, suggesting comparable plasticity characteristics. These findings align with established trends in cohesive and gravelly soils from past research. Recognizing these distinctions is crucial for informed construction practices. The study recommends tailored engineering strategies, based on precise soil characterization, to optimize infrastructure performance and longevity in diverse soil environments. The emphasis on soil analysis and tailored engineering approaches underscores their significance in enhancing infrastructure stability and durability across varying soil conditions.
Transitioning to A Sustainable Society : essays in Environmental and Urban Economics
Authors: Hu Xiao
Published: May 2024

Both environmental and social sustainability are key to building a sustainable society. This thesis contains five empirical papers that investigate different aspects of sustainability in Swedish society. Paper 1 uses comprehensive geocoded population data to explore socioeconomic inequality in exposure to air pollution of toxic metals across Sweden. We find no evidence of environmental inequality in Sweden since the 1990s. Paper 2 explores how extreme weather events influenced by climate change, like the 2018 Swedish forest fires, shape individuals’ environmental beliefs. The findings suggest that such events could heighten political polarization in environmental attitudes. Paper 3 assesses the functioning of the Swedish electricity intraday market, in light of the supply and price variability induced by an increasing share of wind power. The results indicate that the intraday market is functioning properly. Paper 4 investigates the effects of implementing apartment-level metering for residential hot water consumption in multi-family buildings. Our findings demonstrate that consumption is 18% lower when tenants pay for their own usage, compared to when they pay a fixed water fee. Paper 5 uses Swedish population data to study the effects of income inequality on income-based residential segregation. We find that redistribution from the rich to the poor through taxes and transfers does not affect their choices to live in separate neighbourhoods.

Authors: Ishtiaq Muhammad , Inam Aqil , Munir Hassan , Hadi Syed Muhammad , Kayani Saif Haider
Published: May 2024

In this study, we have successfully developed lower, upper, and inverse bainite morphologies in a 0.8wt.% C steel through a meticulously designed heat treatment process. The steel underwent a precise sequence of thermal treatments, commencing with austenitization at 900 °C for 30 minutes, followed by austempering at temperatures of 400 °C, 480 °C, and 500 °C, each for a duration of 60 minutes. The deliberate adjustment of carbon content to a higher level played a pivotal role in facilitating the intriguing inverse bainitic transformation. Our findings, corroborated by optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive x-ray diffraction analysis, unequivocally validate the successful formation of these uniquemicrostructures. Further insights emerge from the micro-Vickers hardness testing, which reveals the order of hardness among the samples. The upper bainite structure outperforms all, showcasing the highest hardness. Following closely is the enigmatic inverse bainite, trailed by lower bainite. The traditional ferrite-pearlite structure, which has long been a benchmark, lagsbehind in terms of hardness. This research not only advances our understanding of the bainitic transformations in high-carbon steels but also highlights the potential for tailored material properties for various engineering applications.

Authors: Pham Quynh Nhu , Pham Vu Phi Ho
Published: May 2024

This study aimed to analyze common syntactic errors found in the argumentative essays of third-year English major students at the Faculty of Foreign Languages, Van Lang University, Vietnam. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to obtain data in this study. The quantitative approach involved counting and calculating the frequency, percentage, and ranking of syntactic errors, while the qualitative method was adopted to explain these errors. The instrument for collecting data was argumentative essays written by 37 third-year English majors enrolling in Writing-5 at Van Lang University. Microsoft Word was used to collect and analyze syntactic errors and sentence structures, while Microsoft Excel was employed to calculate the frequency and rank of these errors and structures. The results found that the five most frequent errors in their essays were at the noun phrase and sentence levels. These errors included run-on sentences, preposition errors, article errors, sentence fragments, and pronoun errors. Through error analysis, it was indicated that the majority of errors made by students were due to the negative transfer from their first language and the literal translation. Based on the findings, language teachers and syllabus designers could use these results as guidance to design appropriate teaching methods and materials.

Published: May 2024

Salivary gland tumors are relatively rare and constitute only about 1-4 % of head and neck tumors. Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumor of salivary glands. Approximately 80% of pleomorphic adenomas occur in the parotid gland, rest 10-20% in submandibular and minor salivary glands. Here, we present a confirmed case of pleomorphic adenoma of the submandibular gland.

Breaking Down Walls: Challenges in Teaching English to School Level Students
Authors:   Trinity Polytechnic Pune, Ghuge Sachin Shashikant
Published: May 2024

This paper addresses the challenges associated with English language instruction in rural schools of India. The language policy in school education poses both societal and individual hurdles. The prevailing quality of English language education in many Indian schools is concerning, with issues such as teacher proficiency, access to language resources, and instructional materials being primary concerns. Rural students face particularly arduous circumstances, lacking the resources and opportunities available to their urban counterparts, such as language labs and audio-visual aids. English is often perceived as a subject rather than a language by rural students, hindering their engagement and proficiency. Many students approach English studies solely for examination purposes, focusing on rote memorization rather than genuine language acquisition. This fear of English is compounded by the limited vision of some teachers, who prioritize exam results over long-term student development. Key Words: Rural, proficiency, circumstances, acquisition, resources memorization

Micronutrient Deficiency in Indian Diet
Authors:   NSHM Knowledge Campus, Durgapur., Chowdhury Susovan Roy
Published: May 2024

Micronutrient deficiency in the Indian diet poses a significant health challenge, impacting millions across the nation. The inadequate intake of essential vitamins and minerals, such as iron, zinc, vitamin A, and iodine, can lead to severe health issues, including anaemia, impaired cognitive development, and compromised immune function. One crucial factor contributing to micronutrient deficiency is soil pollution, which directly affects the nutritional content of vegetables and fruits. Soil pollution results from the presence of contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial waste, negatively impacting soil health and composition. As plants absorb nutrients from the soil, polluted soil leads to diminished nutrient uptake by crops, exacerbating the micronutrient deficiency in the food chain. The contamination of soil with heavy metals, such as lead and cadmium, can inhibit the absorption of essential minerals by plant roots. Consequently, vegetables and fruits grown in polluted soil may exhibit lower concentrations of vital micronutrients, even if individuals consume the same quantity of produce. This compromised nutritional quality directly contributes to the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies in the Indian population. Addressing this issue necessitates a multi-faceted approach. Implementing sustainable agricultural practices, such as organic farming and soil remediation techniques, can help reduce soil pollution and enhance soil fertility. Additionally, promoting awareness about the importance of diversified diets and dietary supplements can empower communities to combat micronutrient deficiencies. Government initiatives, research collaborations, and public-private partnerships are essential to developing and implementing strategies that tackle both soil pollution and micronutrient deficiency in the Indian context, fostering a healthier and more resilient population. Keywords: Nutrients, Micronutrients, Indian diet, Vitamins, Supplements.
