Authors: Dalimunthe Nikmah , Nasution Putridayani
Published: August 2023

The aim of this article is to gain an understanding of the issues surrounding the impact of the public sector on the lives of ordinary Malaysians. One of the potential answers to the labor crisis in Indonesia is the emergence of micro and small enterprises, or UMNT. Modern governments struggle with problems of chemistry, inequality and income distribution. Governments in many countries face the difficult problem of providing adequate employment opportunities for their citizens. The responsibility for rectifying the situation rests squarely on us; if we can design other work areas, the demand for such space will be slightly reduced, and the level of competition between businesses will also be reduced. Unemployment also includes a sociocultural dimension. The depth of one's mental and spiritual outlook is closely related to eating disorders. One of the potential solutions to the problem of poverty and the response that has hit the Indonesian nation is the proliferation of small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and the resulting contributions through entrepreneurship. The government also plays an important role in encouraging the growth of new businesses and MSMEs through various support programs that make it easier for new businesses and MSMEs to get up and running.

Authors: Abdel-latif Megahed Fatma Ibrahim
Published: August 2023

The rising prevalence of overweight and obesity among type 2 diabetic patients has become a major concern for healthcare professionals. Obesity and overweight are significant risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes. In fact, it is estimated that over 90% of individuals with type 2 diabetes are either overweight or obese. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide, leading the World Health Organization to label them as pandemics of the 21st century. In this article, we will explore the different factors that contribute to overweight/obesity among individuals with type 2 diabetes. Genetics and family history play a crucial role in the development of obesity. Lifestyle factors, such as poor dietary habits, physical inactivity, sedentary behavior and poor sleep quality and duration are also a significant risk factor for obesity.
An Overview of Oral Thin Film Drug Delivery Systems with Fast Dissolving Films
Authors: Avni P Desai
Published: August 2023

Fast-dissolving oral thin films (OTFs), rather than tablets, are the product of choice for many pharmaceutical businesses. The benefits of tablets (precise dose, simple administration) and liquid dosage forms (easily swallowed, quick bioavailability) are all present in films. Four out of five patients, according to statistics, prefer orally disintegrating dose forms over traditional solid oral dosage forms. Children, the elderly, people who are bedridden, people who are emetic, and those who have CNS illnesses have trouble swallowing or digesting solid dose forms. Many of these individuals refuse to take solid dose forms because they are afraid of choking. OTFs are immediately moistened by saliva when put on the tongue's tip or base. Because of this, OTFs quickly hydrate before dissolving or disintegrating to release the drug for local or systemic absorption. This technology offers a solid foundation for the creation of patent-compliant items and for extending the patent protection of currently available goods. Fast-dissolving oral thin films can be used for a variety of purposes, including gastroprotective and sublingual delivery systems in addition to buccal fast-dissolving systems. This study emphasizes the composition, detailing the numerous natural and synthetic polymer kinds, diverse manufacturing processes, packaging materials, and assessment tests for OTFs.
Leveraging on Diversity in Nigeria’s Workforce: Strategies for Inclusion and Equality
Authors: Udoyiu Udoyiu E. , Uko Washington B.
Published: August 2023

Nigeria is blessed with diversity. Diversity in Nigeria’s workplace ranges from socio-cultural differences, geographic, age, learning style, personality traits, gender, language, education, ethnicity, and religion among others. It is however incumbent on organizations that want to gain competitive advantage to widen their perspective on workplace diversity and diversity management. Management must consciously ensure that diversity management is part of its routine operations. However, DEI compliance in Nigeria’s workplace is worrisome. Organizations and government civil/public service discriminate in terms of recruitment, promotions and placements. It has become pronounced that to get employment in a number of organizations, it is now a matter of ‘who you know’, not necessarily ‘what you know or the qualifications and experience you possess’. This paper therefore studied workplace diversity in Nigeria, in a bid to propose strategies for promoting equality and inclusion. The researchers adopted historical and descriptive research methods; hence data were gathered from mostly secondary sources such as scholarly journal articles, and textbooks among others. The researchers’ workplace experiences were also brought to bear in this paper. It was discovered among others that Cox’s individual, group/intergroup as well as organizational levels of diversity hold swear in Nigeria’s workplace; only 35% of Nigeria’s leading companies have at least a tolerable level of diversity, equity and inclusion. A number of strategies recommended among others include; enacting a strong legal framework that governs DEI practices and compliance in the workplace; inclusive leadership and unconscious biases training; relationship building; flexible work model.
Cybersecurity Awareness on Cybercrime Among the Youth in Gauteng Province
Authors: Aphane Mmabatho Portia
Published: August 2023

The increased independence on Internet has raised growing concerns that cyber security is becoming difficult to maintain. Not only do businesses depend on the internet for all types of electronic transactions, but home users increasingly also experience the immense benefit of the internet especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cyber security awareness and education are central to any attempt to secure cyber space. In the education system, youth must be made aware of the possible attacks and types of intruders. The rapid growth in the use of cyber space is not matched by the necessary skills. Therefore, there is a need for broad-based education initiatives on Internet safety and security to tackle the issues of child protection and social security in general. Cyber security and awareness become a vital issue because promoting awareness would contribute greatly towards cyber security as a whole. An interpretive research approach was adopted using a qualitative research method. The semi-structured interviews were conducted with 37 participants, eight from the SAPS Crime Intelligence Unit. Five participants from Crime Intelligence Unit, which constituted of males, participated in this study and for the youth, the first author interviewed 29 participants, which consisted of 17 female and 12 male participants who were between the ages of 19 to 35 years. The findings indicated that there are currently no existing initiatives in the field of policing cybercrime in South Africa. There are currently no cyber security awareness programmes or preventive techniques by the SAPS targeting the youth. South Africa is still lacking behind in the strategy development regarding cybercrime and cyber security.

Factors affecting rumor spreading of social network sites
Authors: Wu Sheng
Published: August 2023

The emergence of social network sites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube etc.) has been playing an important role for modern people’s lives. The social network sites provide users online maintaining and expanding interpersonal space and opportunities. Many social network sites have been a platform to share the news and information with friends and family. The social network sites facilitate the information flow through user’s friend circle, so various information spreads quickly and so does rumor. This study adopts the theoretical perspective of an Elaboration Likelihood Model to identify the informative and normative factors that influence the credibility judgment of online rumors in social network sites context. Based on the 335 valid samples from the online questionnaire, statistical testing of research models using partial least squares. The results of this study are similar to the ELM claim that argument quality and source credibility have significant effects on rumor credibility. This indicates that rumor spreading of SNSs is based not only on the argument quality, but also on the source credibility. Moreover, compared with argument quality, the source credibility has a stronger impact on rumor credibility. This means that the degree to which the user needs source credibility plays a major key role to decide the rumor credibility. The study also suggests the possible importance of argument quality and source credibility of rumor. Specifically, we identified three components of argument quality and four components of source credibility.
Cure rate and statistical inference for the Marshall-Olkin generalized defective Gompertz distribution under censored survival data
Authors: Hamdeni Tasnime , Gasmi Soufiane
Published: August 2023

Cure fraction modeling usually requires the addition of an extra parameter. Defective modeling, alternatively, allows cure fraction modeling with less complexity. A new extension of the defective version of Gompertz distribution is studied in this paper. This distribution is compared to other well-founded distributions and its distinguished performance to fit censored survival data with and without a cure fraction is presented. A computational study is carried out to highlight the correlation between the censorship level and the proportion of long-term survivors. Interesting mathematical properties are established. The practical relevance of the model is illustrated by applying various real and simulated datasets.

Authors: Wutthipattarathorn Kamyaporn , Thawornchaisit Usarat , Janyapoon Suwannee
Published: August 2023

In this study, cassava stem-derived hydrochar was modified with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) treatment, followed by loading of minerals, was used to prepare cation-modified hydrochars with enhanced phosphate removal ability. Cassava stems were converted to hydrochar by hydrothermal carbonization at 240 °C for 60 min, then it was soaked in 2 M NaOH for 3 h. The NaOH-treated hydrochars were then loaded with iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca). The cassava stems and the derived hydrochars were analyzed for carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen content, surface morphology and elemental compositions. Methylene Blue Numbers (MBN) measured surface area and porosity, and pH at the point of zero charge (pHpzc) was determined. Modification with Fe, Mg and Ca improved phosphate removal efficiency of the resulting hydrochars. Treatment of synthetic wastewater containing 50 mg P/L at pH 7 with the dosage of 2 g/L of the cation-modified hydrochars for 360 min showed that phosphate removal efficiency of these modified hydrochars were - Fe-modified 81 %, Mg-modified 66 % and Ca-modified 56 %. When the adsorbent dosage increased to 20 g/L, more than 98 % of phosphate was removed by the hydrochars modified with Fe, Ca and Mg. In the same conditions, phosphate removal efficiency was for the NaOH-treated hydrochars - 89 %, hydrochar derived from cassava steam - 69 % and the starting material - 59 %. The phosphate removal ability of these cation-modified hydrochars increased even when initial phosphorus concentration was increased to 100 mg P/L. This work demonstrated that an abundant agricultural residue, cassava stems, can be converted into effective phosphate adsorbents.
HIGHLIGHTS

Cassava stem were converted to hydrochar by aqueous carbonization at elevated temperature and pressure - hydrothermal carbonization (HTC)
Sequential steps of alkali treatment and chemical modification, following HTC, were used to improve the phosphate removal ability of the cassava stem-derived hydrochar
Loading of minerals (Fe, Mg and Ca) was a vital way to increase the adsorption of phosphates on hydrochar
Phosphorus removal efficiency of Fe-loaded hydrochar was better than Mg- and Ca-loaded hydrochars
Cation-modified hydrochars showed good phosphate removal ability over a wider concentration range

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
HENRI MESCHONNIC: A TRADUÇÃO É UM CAMPO DE BATALHA
Authors: Machado Elvis Borges
Published: August 2023

Autor de textos ensaísticos marcantes e de poemas que têm aberto novas perspectivas para a poesia francesa contemporânea, Meschonnic tem-se caracterizado por um espírito inquieto, voltado à discussão de problemas de seu tempo, ainda que possua sólida formação também sobre o passado. Uma das maiores riquezas de sua reflexão consiste na capacidade de articular, problematicamente, o passado e o presente da cultura ocidental, inter-relacionando diversos domínios dos mais heterogêneos. No campo dos estudos da tradução, Meschonnic nos legou uma obra que nos ensina que o trabalho do pensamento é inseparavelmente crítico, ético, poético e político. Não obstante, essa multiplicidade de conhecimentos em discussão no conjunto da obra meschonniqueana se impõe numa coesão de perspectiva que requer do leitor uma articulação mínima entre linguagem-tradução-ética-política.

Authors: Cláudio Quinteiro Macedo Cristian
Published: August 2023

O presente artigo é uma pesquisa de Historiografia da Tradução que tem o objetivo de apresentar notas históricas sobre duas regras de tradução escritas no século XVII e algumas de suas relações. Trata-se de dois textos produzidos por jansenistas daquela época; Règles de la traduction françoise, de 1650, e Règles de la traduction ou moyens pour apprendre à traduire de latin en français tiré de quelques unes des meilleures traductions du temps, de 1660. A primeira, uma lista de onze regras de autoria de Antoine Lemaistre, apesar de ser publicada postumamente apenas no século XVIII, já circulava entre sábios e tradutores do Grand Siècle, principalmente entre os jansenistas de Port-Royal. A segunda, compostas de nove regras, foi elaborada e publicada por Gaspar de Tende. O primeiro autor era um tradutor do mosteiro, o segundo era um sábio laico, também tradutor. Ao se compreender o contexto cultural, em sua dimensão laica e religiosa, percebe-se que são obras de teor regulador comum ao período, mas guardando cada qual suas especificidades. no que diz respeito às suas diferenças, enquanto as regras de Antoine Lemaistre privilegiam a forma e o estilo do texto traduzido, as regras de Gaspar de Tende parecem voltadas às relações entre o texto original e o texto traduzido.

This study aimed to investigate the suitability of β-keratin, produced from chicken feathers, as a surface sealant to suppress dust on gravel roads, in terms of mechanical, chemical, and physical properties. This study used High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) chemical tests, Ultraviolet-Visible Spectrometer (UV-ViS) physical tests, and the standard testing procedures of the American Society for Material Testing (ASTM) and American Association of Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) for mechanical tests. For testing its mechanical properties, β -keratin was mixed with gravel at 0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0% proportions of dry weight. The wavelength and absorbance of a β-keratin water solution (1:10) were 275.4nm and 0.4295 respectively. β -keratin is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C28H48N2O32S4 and easily melts and burns under fire. 1 liter of Keratin mixed with the carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) emulsifier at 55 and 65g/liter yielded acceptable results between 30-60kg/m·s viscosity at 60°C according to ASTM D2170 and AASHTO T201. The optimal percentage mix of β-keratin in the gravel mixture was found to be 2.0%, providing a CBR value of 57%, least swell of 0.3%, MDD of 1850kg/m3, and OMC of 15.8%, all acceptable according to BS 1377:2-1990. For better dust suppressant results, 1 liter of pure β-keratin should be mixed with 55-65g of CMC.

Functionally Graded Carbon Nanotube (FG CNT) reinforced curved beams are being used nowadays in different structural applications due to their properties although they have stability issues due to geometric imperfections that affect the load-bearing capacity of the beam and residual strength, hence a geometric imperfection is being introduced as a hollow trapezoidal layer is incorporated in the curved beam design to get better strength. Hence a new frictional endo-stratified thermal model is proposed to analyze the frictional effect between interface layers with the help of elastic and plastic deformation of the curved beam. Thus, analysis is done in ABAQUS using a finite element model to determine the stability due to frictional characteristics. The proposed design is giving better results than existing designs with higher specific gravity and tensile strength.

During the rigid pavement design, the concrete slab working on the base/subbase and subgrade is usually modeled as the slab on the elastic foundation. However, the non-uniform distribution of materials in the base or subgrade layers naturally exists in real conditions and should be considered. In this paper, a finite element method for calculating concrete pavement slabs on an elastic foundation with non-uniform stiffness distribution is developed. This study applies 4-node finite elements and Mindlin plate theory to formulate the finite element equations. The results predicted by the proposed approach are verified analytically. Calculation examples are conducted with the practical settings to investigate the influence of slab and foundation stiffness parameters on the slab displacement.
Numerical Simulation of a Efficient Solar-Powered Ventilation System
Authors: Nasri Faouzi
Published: August 2023

The objective of this study is to conduct a numerical analysis of a small-scale solar ventilation-air conditioning system operating under the meteorological conditions of Bisha, Saudi Arabia. The primary objective of the proposed system is to provide sustainable and comfortable thermal conditions. To achieve this objective, the system recovers the heat wasted by the solar ventilation process and reuses it to power the desiccant dehumidification process. The solar chimney features a lateral (vertical) wall design, and a comparative performance investigation of two solar chimney designs (conventional vs original) is conducted. Mathematical models of the ventilated room and solar chimney are developed, and numerical simulations are carried out to evaluate the performance of each solar chimney design. The study aims to assess the ability of each design to maintain indoor thermal comfort through the analysis of air distribution temperature and air streamlines. The results of the performance comparison revealed that the proposed solar chimney design outperformed the conventional design in terms of thermal and ventilation performance. The proposed solar chimney design, with its lateral (vertical) wall, was also found to be more effective in maintaining indoor thermal comfort than the conventional design. The simulations showed that the proposed design produced a more uniform air distribution temperature within the ventilated room, resulting in improved comfort levels. Additionally, the proposed design was found to have a more efficient airflow pattern, with fewer areas of stagnant airflow. These results suggest that the proposed solar ventilation-air conditioning system has the potential to provide sustainable and comfortable thermal conditions in small-scale buildings.

The main challenge in designing Light-Weight Concrete (LWC) is to adapt most of the design, production, and execution rules from normal-weight concrete. Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites provide strength and stiffness to the composite system. This study investigated the stiffness of an LWC flat slab with CFRP when subjected to human-induced vibration. This was determined by finding the natural frequency of the slab and comparing it with the acceleration limit ratio (human perception of vibration) of 0.5% g. In most cases, vibration characteristics are examined using commercial software based on Finite Element Analysis (FEA) methods that are powerful tools, but the user needs to understand the underlying assumptions and methods implemented, especially for reinforced concrete floor systems where inherent attributes, such as cracking, play an important role in the determination of vibration characteristics. This study used Abaqus CAE. The main idea of this study was that such software cannot detect the behavior of cracks in structures over the years and the effect on frequencies, as stiffness depends on the modulus of elasticity and not on the moment of inertia. Therefore, the natural frequency equation has a component that constantly accounts for the level of cracking on concrete slabs. This component was theoretically determined with detailed calculations that are not provided in the Design Guide for Vibrations of Reinforced Concrete Floor Systems. Then, the constant that accounts for the level of cracking k1 was multiplied by the modulus of elasticity E and substituted in the latter's place in Abaqus to ensure the right behavior of the slab with and without CFRP. This study also investigated the properties of CFRP and how to represent it in the Abaqus. The numerical results showed good agreement with FEA and the acceptance criteria for walking excitations increased when using CFRP on a floor system.

Functional meat products are often created by reformulating meat and adding health promoting ingredients such as fibres, prebiotics, probiotics, polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants. Present research was undertake to study the effect on incorporation of 4% green banana pulp powder on physico-chemical, microbiological and sensory characteristics of chevon nuggets stored at refrigeration temperature (4±1˚C) in low density polyethylene (LDPE) pouches. During storage of product pH, Thiobarbituric acid value and tyrosine values increased significantly (p<0.05). The microbial quality parameters such as total plate count increased throughout the storage period up to 16th days but were within the permissible limits. However, psychrophilic count were not observed at 0 day but increased from 4th day to 16th days of storage. Sensory scores for all sensory characteristics declined progressively with the advancement of storage period of 16th days. Incorporation of 4% green banana pulp powder in chevon nuggets was very much acceptable up to 16th day of refrigerated storage as compared to control.
