Coastal regions provide some of the most productive and biodiverse environments with an important and often underappreciated carbon storage potential. At the same time, they are among the areas of highest population density, natural assets and cultural heritage in the world, yet are experiencing significant social, economic and environmental challenges, exacerbated by climate change and human pressures.The REST-COAST project (Large scale RESToration of COASTal ecosystems through rivers to sea connectivity) will demonstrate to what extent upscaled coastal restoration can provide a low-carbon adaptation, reducing risks and providing gains in biodiversity for vulnerable coastal ecosystems, such as wetlands or sea grass beds. By overcoming present technical, economic, governance and social barriers to restoration upscaling, REST-COAST will develop the large scale river-coast connectivity and increase the nearshore accommodation space for the resilient delivery of coastal ecosystem services (ESs). The selected ESs (risk reduction, environmental quality and fish provisioning) touch urgent coastal problems such as the erosion/flooding during recent storms or the accelerating coastal habitat degradation that seriously affects fisheries and aquaculture. Combining new techniques, risk assessments, innovative financial/governance arrangements and homogeneous metrics for ESs and biodiversity, REST-COAST will develop a systemic approach to coastal restoration based on a scalable coastal adaptation plan.
Des édouardiens aux modernistes
Authors: Mellet Laurent
Published: October 2023

Le nouveau libéralisme anglais a marqué de son empreinte l’esthétique du roman des premières décennies du xxe siècle. Des édouardiens aux modernistes, nombreux furent les écrivains anglais à intégrer à leur stratégie narrative certaines des grandes orientations éthiques, philosophiques et politiques de ce renouvellement du libéralisme. La ligne de partage qu’on dessine habituellement entre le roman édouardien, social et réaliste, et une expérimentation moderniste plus éloignée des enjeux politiques de son temps, s’efface ici pour laisser apparaître plusieurs caractéristiques communes. Au premier rang de celles-ci, on observe une pratique semblable d’un art narratif de l’alternative : une alternative entre naturalisme et singularité, une interrogation littéraire originale des conflits entre l’individuel et le collectif, enfin, une réflexion sur l’alternative elle-même en tant que refus de la médiété ou de la synthèse, et comme défense d’une écriture littéraire qui fait le choix de ne pas choisir et de (se) jouer des paradoxes. Voilà ce qu’on observe ici dans certains romans d’Arnold Bennett, Somerset Maugham, H. G. Wells, D. H. Lawrence, May Sinclair, Virginia Woolf, Henry Green et E. M. Forster.
Theory of Prophecy: On Kathy Acker and Dreams
Authors: Carmody Teresa Rose
Published: October 2023

In the middle of six-weeks of radiation therapy for early-stage breast cancer, I find some of Kathy Acker’s papers and personal objects, including a working pen, which have been lost in her writing desk for over twenty years. I’ve had the desk in my basement for the last ten. My basement is also the HQ for Les Figues Press, the feminist press I co-founded with Vanessa Place in 2005. My cancer is also in my left breast, the same spot I had biopsied in 2013 while I was writing an essay about Acker’s Don Quixote.
Jornalismo e ativismo: Um repórter português do lado russo da guerra na Ucrânia
Authors: Loureiro Luís M.
Published: October 2023

This article proposes a thinking of the journalistic act as a theory of action, capable of responding to an analysis of the intersections between activism and journalism, by decomposing the individual and collective actantial dimensions of journalism, and the endogenous and exogenous interactions that shape and condition journalistic production. The case of Bruno Amaral de Carvalho, a Portuguese freelance journalist who, in 2022, spent more than half a year working on the Russian side of the war in Ukraine, is treated from a critical analysis of the discourse produced on Facebook by the reporter, during this period, and from a sample of works published on the CNN Portugal website. It investigates, from the theoretical confrontation with the peace journalism model (Galtung, 2003) and with visibility as a political concept (Brighenti, 2007), the feasibility or unfeasibility of individual agency of a journalistic act capable of overcoming invisibilities of causes and victims, thus contributing to the emergence of peacebuilding processes.
L’activisme en ligne des abonnés des opérateurs de téléphonie mobile au Cameroun
Authors: Epangue Timothée Ndongue
Published: October 2023

Les revendications, au Cameroun, passent de plus en plus par les médias sociaux. Pour des questions qui touchent à la vie économique, politique ou sociale, les internautes tentent d’influencer les personnes responsables des prises de décision. Internet en général et les médias sociaux en particulier deviennent un lieu de pouvoir où les revendications sociales peuvent être faites. Les consommateurs camerounais se plaignent depuis quelques mois de la cherté des prestations des opérateurs de téléphonie mobile, ainsi que du manque de considération pour leurs abonnés. Dans le but de se faire entendre, le média social Facebook a été investi par les abonnés à travers une opération dénommée mode avion pour matérialiser leur mécontentement. L’objectif de cette réflexion est de montrer comment les utilisateurs des médias sociaux transforment ces plateformes numériques en espace de revendication. De ce fait, comment les abonnés des opérateurs de téléphonie mobile au Cameroun s’y prennent-ils pour manifester sur les médias sociaux dans le but de dénoncer la médiocrité de leurs services ? L’hypothèse faite postule que les revendications en ligne autour des services rendus par les opérateurs de téléphonie Orange et MTN sont des publications qui revêtent des indicateurs des combats de la postcolonialité. La méthodologie de l’étude repose sur une netnographie (Guérin, 2009) qui nous dirige vers la collecte des données sur les pages des influenceurs web qui ont pris la responsabilité d’accompagner l’opération en ligne. Nous allons compléter ces données avec une trentaine d’entretiens semi-dirigés pour donner la possibilité aux utilisateurs des médias sociaux de s’exprimer au sujet de leurs interventions relatives aux pratiques querellées des opérateurs de téléphonie mobile. Pour rendre les données recueillies intelligibles, la théorie de l’activisme en ligne ainsi que celle des mouvements sociaux à l’ère du Numérique ont été mobilisées. Après l’analyse thématique des contenus, on peut remarquer que les revendications des mobinautes sont nourries par un sentiment anti-français qui précède la demande du boycott des services de l’opérateur Orange. L’opération « Mode avion » peut être appréhendé comme un révélateur de la postcolonialité dans les discours des consommateurs des services de la téléphonie mobile au Cameroun.
Les nouvelles dynamiques de mobilisation au Cameroun à l’ère du numérique : l’expérience des mouvements OTS et Mode Avion
Authors: Nelem Christian Bios , Onana Pauline Flore Mballa
Published: October 2023

Le développement du numérique dans la plupart des pays, qu’ils soient émergents ou non, a permis de rendre encore plus complexe l’étude du phénomène des mobilisations collectives (Casilli, 2010 ; Cardon, 2010). L’importante littérature optimiste présente ainsi Internet comme un média alternatif à la démocratie représentative. La capacité du digital à redéfinir les frontières de l’action collective et à modifier la nature des résistances fait croire à une restructuration des modes de communication politique (Cardon, 2010). Si les luttes sociopolitiques ne peuvent se passer des médias dominants (Granjon, 2020), les nouveaux médias et réseaux sociaux numériques, à l’instar de Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, sont devenus un nouvel espace public de partage d’information et d’invitation à la mobilisation collective, à la mise en scène et à la prise de parole (Melucci, 1996; Neveu, 1999 ; Flichy, 2008; Dahlgren, 2009). Le Cameroun n’échappe pas à ce déferlement technologique où l’expression publique, à travers les canaux de communication classiques encore dominés par des systèmes de contrôle (Minfégue, 2013), est aujourd’hui dépendante des informations véhiculées sur la toile. Toutefois, il convient de souligner l’interdépendance qui caractérise les rapports conflictuels entre toutes les parties prenantes de la mobilisation (Tilly, Sidney, 2008 ; Olivier F., Isabelle S., 2010). Dans une démarche compréhensive, nous décrivons le processus de construction des groupes protestataires, les stratégies déployées et les actions contestataires, sans oublier l’impact de ces nouvelles dynamiques de participation dans le champ sociopolitique.

Published: October 2023

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) technology has ushered researchers to directly observe surface topology and the substrate mechanical properties using specialized probe. AFM is one of the microscopic techniques with the highest lateral resolution which can be employed in air or even in liquids. In this experiment, we characterized the local elastic properties of the polyacrylamide (PA) hydrogel using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). PA consists of huge units of an organic acrylamide monomers which can be saturated to form a highly water-swollen hydrogel. The hydrogel offers tunable density with a high degree of pliability which depends of its applications. Such applications of PA hydrogel can be in cell substrate studies and measurement of cell-generated forces. Our results with AFM measurement yielded force-distance curves were used to determine the elastic behaviour of the polyacrylamide (PA) hydrogel. Analysis has shown that 15% w/v PA hydrogel concentration has Young’s modulus, Yav=1608.9 ± 1.3 kPa (n=8) and transverse stiffness, Kav=88.7 ± 9.7 μN/nm (n=8) at Thus, elasticity measurements has provided useful insights for the future experiment on traction force microscopy with amoeboid organism.
Influence of Porous Manganese-Containing Fillers on the Electrodynamic Characteristics of Absorbing Polymer Composite Materials
Authors: Guzii Sergii G. , Prysiazhna Olena , Lapovska Svitlana Davydivna , Khodakovskyy Oleksiy , Pokaliuk Viktor
Published: October 2023

The paper shows that the introduction of up to 6 wt % of ferromanganese dust enhances the process of granule porization and improves the structural-mechanical properties. This is achieved due to the formation of low-base calcium hydrosilicates in the mineral matrix, reinforced by crystals of fayalite, orientite and pyroximite, which contribute to an increase in the dielectric component in the scattering of electromagnetic waves in the millimeter range. Granules with a developed pore structure in the frequency range from 1102 to 3.15103 Hz can absorb and scatter electromagnetic waves in the range of 54-58 dB. Granules in the temperature range from 20 to 300 °C are flame retardant and not prone to brittle fracture (F ≤ 4). The introduction of a 5% porous filler into the polymer matrix contributes to the growth of the effective part of the dielectric permittivity (μ to 1.5) and stabilization of the coefficient of attenuation of electromagnetic waves (from 2 to 4) in the range 11010 - 61010 Hz. The developed porous material is recommended to was used as a filler in the first layers of gradient-absorbing composites
Silver Nanowire-PVB Composite for Reflective Heat Coating
Authors: Domingo Mariz Gebrielle M. , Balela Mary Donnabelle L.
Published: October 2023

Automotive air conditioning (AAC) is essential, particularly in tropical countries like the Philippines, where temperatures can go beyond 40 °C during the summer. AAC system is installed for the comfort and safety of passengers. However, AAC may consume up to 30% of the fuel and increase fuel consumption by up to 20%. Consequently, increasing fuel consumption can lead to high costs and greenhouse emissions worldwide. Commercially available car tints can block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays but selectively block IR rays which primarily cause heating. Therefore, sustainable cooling solutions must be developed. This study developed a silver nanowire (AgNW)-PVB (polyvinyl butyral) composite spray coating. The coating decreased the transmittance by at least 30% in the UV region and at least 25% in the near-infrared (NIR). Average transmittance in the visible region (Vis) is as much as 63.50% which highly depends on the concentration of PVB and AgNWs. More AgNWs decrease the transmittance at UV, Vis, and NIR regions.
The Effect of the Origin and Inner Structure of Limestones on the Burning Process and the Formation of Lime
Authors: Sklenářová Dorothea , Dvořák Karel
Published: October 2023

The burning process of limestones is an important process in the modern industries, which can be described in two parts, CaCO3 decarbonation due to the thermal stress and formation of CaO crystalline structure. It was already observed that the different composition and structure of a raw material influence the transformation process and has affect on the chemical and mechanical properties on the formed lime. This study is focused on the characterization of the raw material (porosity, chemical composition, geological age and origin) and its effect on the burning process and the formation of CaO and its properties. The microstructure of studied material burnt at different times of isothermal load was observed by SEM and the reactivity test was measured and analyzed. The limestone with a more porous inner system was burnt faster and is inclinable to overburn at longer thermal load.

Postcholecystectomy bile duct injury (BDI) remains a devastating iatrogenic complication that adversely impacts the quality of life with high healthcare costs. Despite a decrease in the incidence of laparoscopic cholecystectomy-related BDI, the absolute number remains high as cholecystectomy is a commonly performed surgical procedure. Open Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy with meticulous surgical technique remains the gold standard surgical procedure with excellent long-term results in most patients. As with many hepatobiliary disorders, a minimally invasive approach has been recently explored to minimize access-related complications and improve postoperative recovery. Since patients with gallstone disease are often admitted for a minimally invasive cholecystectomy, laparoscopic and robotic approaches for repairing postcholecystectomy biliary stricture are attractive. While recent series have shown the feasibility and safety of minimally invasive post-cholecystectomy biliary stricture management, most are retrospective analyses with small sample sizes. Also, long-term follow-up is available only in a limited number of studies. The principles and technique of minimally invasive repair resemble open repair except for the extent of adhesiolysis and the suturing technique with continuous sutures commonly used in minimally invasive approaches. The robotic approach overcomes key limitations of laparoscopic surgery and has the potential to become the preferred minimally invasive approach for the repair of postcholecystectomy biliary stricture. Despite increasing use, lack of prospective studies and selection bias with available evidence precludes definitive conclusions regarding minimally invasive surgery for managing postcholecystectomy biliary stricture. High-volume prospective studies are required to confirm the initial promising outcomes with minimally invasive surgery.

Sporotrichosis is the most frequent subcutaneous mycosis in Latin America. Sporothrix brasiliensis is the most virulent species, responsible for the majority of human and animal cases in Brazil. Osteomyelitis was described as a potential comorbidity of S. brasiliensis infection; however, surgical amputation resulting from an extracutaneous form is a rare outcome. In such cases, immunodeficiency and alcoholism must be investigated. We present two unusual cases of surgical amputation as a severe morbidity resulting from osteomyelitis by S. brasiliensis in immunocompetent nonalcoholic patients.

Published: October 2023

Dengue experienced a rise in disease burden in 2021 in specific regions of India. We aimed to explore the risk factors of dengue occurrence and severity in the post-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 vaccination era and performed an exploratory analysis involving participants from two prior observational studies conducted from February 2021 to April 2022 in a tertiary hospital in North India. Health care workers constituted the majority of the study participants. Individuals were stratified into five groups based on COVID-19 infection and timing of vaccination: COVID-No Vaccine, Vaccine-No COVID (VNC), COVID After Vaccine (CAV), Vaccine After COVID (VAC), and No Vaccine-No COVID (NVNC) groups. The occurrence of laboratory-confirmed dengue and severe forms of dengue were the main outcomes of interest. A total of 1,701 participants (1,520 vaccinated, 181 unvaccinated) were included. Of these, symptomatic dengue occurred in 133 (7.8%) and was “severe” in 42 (31.6%) cases. Individuals with a history of COVID-19 in 2020 had a 2-times-higher odds of developing symptomatic dengue (P = 0.002). The VAC group had 3.6 (P = 0.019)-, 2 (P = 0.002)-, and 1.9 (P = 0.01)-times-higher odds of developing symptomatic dengue than the NVNC, VNC, and CAV groups, respectively. The severity of dengue was not affected by COVID-19 vaccination but with marginal statistical significance, a 2-times-higher risk of severe dengue was observed with any COVID-19 of the past (P = 0.08). We conclude that COVID-19 may enhance the risk of developing symptomatic dengue. Future research should explore the predisposition of COVID-19-recovered patients toward other viral illnesses. Individuals receiving COVID-19 vaccines after recovering from COVID-19 particularly seem to be at greater risk of symptomatic dengue and need long-term watchfulness. Possible mechanisms, such as antibody-dependent enhancement or T-cell dysfunction, should be investigated in COVID-19-recovered and vaccinated individuals.

Electro-Learning amidst Covid-19 Lockdown and Related Challenges of Undergraduates in Nigerian Universities
Authors: Adelowo Oluwatobi Dorcas , Allo Tolulope Abiola , George Tayo
Published: October 2023

This paper examined the various electronic learning platforms adopted by undergraduates in Nigerian Universities which include both private and public universities in Nigeria and its related challenges during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. The coronavirus’ enormous consequences, which affected all countries and industries, influenced around 91% of the world's students. The objective of this study is to investigate the experiences of private and public university undergraduates in a Nigerian University, to determine whether there is a significant disparity in the accessibility, affordability, and ease of use of the various e-learning platforms that were adopted during the global pandemic lockdown. The study employed the survey method in eliciting useful information from undergraduates in Covenant University, and in the University of Lagos. The population of the study consisted of 374 undergraduates from both schools. Due to the inaccessibility of students whose lecturers were on industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, the questionnaire was physically distributed to students at Covenant University, while a Google form was generated for students at the University of Lagos. Data was analyzed using descriptive techniques in frequencies, percentages, and linear regression analysis. Results from the study revealed that 68.1% of students at Covenant University utilized more e-learning platforms like Moodle, Coursera, Zoom, and WebEx unlike their counterparts at the University of Lagos who used only Moodle and Zoom with 43.6%. Also, 87.5% of Covenant University undergraduates made use of their laptops mostly for their e-learning classes while 56.4% of their counterparts in the University of Lagos mostly made use of their smartphones. Findings revealed that students from public Universities faced major challenges such as unstable internet, limited financial capability in buying devices such as laptops, and lack of skill and competence in navigating the e-learning platforms while students in the private universities on the contrary had relatively stable internet connectivity, could afford laptops and smart devices and had the requisite skills to properly navigate their e-learning platforms. The study concludes by recommending the provision of substantial financing that will aid in the acquisition of relevant technology to promote and support e-learning in public universities in Nigeria. It also suggested the inclusion of public University students with adequate training on how to navigate the e-learning platforms, thereby equipping them with the requisite skills needed to maximize the benefits of e-learning. The study emphasizes how the use of e-learning can be an effective sustainable learning solution for current and future situations by the main actors, educators, and learners. In the long run, the Nigerian educational system would be better prepared to face future emergencies that may warrant the adoption of remote learning.
Le corps et la quȇte du pouvoir dans l’œuvre de Bernard Dadié
Authors:   Université  Félix Houphouët-Boigny de Cocody Côte d’Ivoire, Kouadio Koménan Blaise
Published: October 2023

Lorsqu’on analyse la sacralisation du corps et la quête de pouvoir dans les boobs de Dadié, on constate que l’auteur utilise généralement le corps pour rendre compte d’un système rhétorique et dialectique dans lequel les personnages évoluent, pour la plupart, en quête de liberté et ils obtiennent cette liberté par une initiation dont l’objectif principal est le pouvoir. Pour le corps, pour coller à la logique de la quête du pouvoir, l’auteur singularise les personnages et les sacralise. Un corps fantôme communique avec un corps vivant, un corps vivant communique avec les dieux. Nous pensons que cette logique relève d’une expérience personnelle et sociale qui se fonde sur les dispositions culturelles de l’écrivain et vise à offrir aux spectateurs une réelle opportunité dans le sens où l’univers, dans lequel il fait ses choix, est réaliste. Presque toute sa création oppose des personnages soit dans un univers de domination, soit dans un univers royal ou religieux. Cependant, la question ou la question du corps ne se limite pas à l’être humain, elle prend également en compte tous les corps capables de créer une relation sémantique au théâtre. C’est pourquoi la perception de la fonctionnalité du corps dans ses textes nécessite de prendre en compte un univers mythique et quelques symboles fondamentaux sur lesquels repose son imaginaire.
Le corps et le pouvoir évocateur de la mise en scène dans « Le petit chaperon rouge » de Joël Pommerat
Authors:   Université d’Assiout, Hasaan Doaa Hosni Abdelkhalek
Published: October 2023

Dans un monde dramatique destiné autant aux enfants qu’aux adultes, Joël Pommerat a créé de son Petit Chaperon Rouge un personnage à la fois intrépide et vulnérable. Les dispositifs puissants de mise en scène contribuent à créer une ambiance de tension et de danger qui reflète le corps du Petit Chaperon Rouge affrontant la peur omniprésente du loup. Cet univers dramatique invite chacun à se confronter à ses propres soucis et à les surmonter. Le présent article vise, ainsi, à aborder comment Joël Pommerat se sert du pouvoir de la scène afin de donner une forte signification au corps et d’articuler la thématique de de la peur au sein de sa pièce intitulée Le Petit Chaperon Rouge.
Scènes contemporaines et biopolitique. Representer le grand age en institution
Authors:   Université Paris III Sorbonne-Nouvelle, Jernite Kenza
Published: October 2023

Ces dernières années, de plus en plus d’émissions en Europe ont porté sur la fin de vie, et notamment sur la fin de vie en institution (maisons de retraite, centres d’hébergement d’urgence, hôpitaux, etc.). Citons par exemple les spectacles du metteur en scène britannique Alexander Zeldin Love, Une mort dans la famille, présentés en 2018 et 2021 au Théâtre de l’Odéon à Paris, Le Syndrome du Roi Lear d’Elsa Granat, créé en janvier 2022 au Théâtre Gérard Philippe à Saint-Denis, et Ensemble ! du Groupe T, présenté en avril 2022 au Théâtre de la Commune à Aubervilliers. Ces spectacles, en ouvrant les murs de l’institution pour faire observer aux spectateurs un moment de la vie de leurs pensionnaires, les mettent en position de contrôleur du panoptique. Ainsi, ils posent avec acuité la question du rapport entre le corps vieillissant et le pouvoir sur les scènes contemporaines. En représentant des institutions qui sont les derniers vestiges de la société disciplinaire décrite par Foucault, ils proposent chacun à leur manière une critique de ces organisations qui imposent un contrôle rigide sur la vie de leurs pensionnaires, où la vie, simplement gérée en attendant une mort prochaine, devient invivable
Quand les circassiennes se réapproprient. Le pouvoir de leur corps par le théâtre

Published: October 2023

"Les écoles de formation professionnelle en arts du cirque invitent les étudiant.es à suivre une multitude de cours liés à la préparation physique, à différentes spécialisations disciplinaires, à des projets de création dirigée, de même qu’à des domaines artistiques complémentaires tel que le théâtre. Cet article porte spécifiquement sur la manière dont les cours de jeu offerts dans deux écoles professionnelles de cirque incitent les circassien.nes à se réapproprier le pouvoir de leur corps scénique. Constamment appelé.es à se surpasser physiquement et à mettre en scène un corps « extraordinaire », les étudiant.es qui amorcent des cours de théâtre sont amené.es à explorer le potentiel du corps « ordinaire » dans toute sa fragilité et son authenticité. Les cours en théâtre leur font rapidement réaliser que « performer » ne signifie pas « impressionner » par un exploit physique et que le pouvoir d’un corps scénique ne se limite pas aux capacités physiques permettant d’accomplir des prouesses risquées. Dans le cadre d’une recherche visant à mieux comprendre les expériences de formation professionnelle en arts du cirque, une attention particulière a été portée sur ce contexte de cours afin de faire la lumière sur les enjeux et les défis associés aux expériences d’apprentissage qui y sont liées et qui invitent repenser le pouvoir du corps dans les arts du spectacle. Appuyée sur le concept d’expérience, cette recherche qualitative interprétative s’est déroulée dans deux des plus grandes écoles de cirque à travers le monde (Centre national des arts du cirque, France ; École nationale de cirque de Montréal, Canada) et a profité de la participation de 54 étudiant.es et de 3 enseignant.es de théâtre. Ayant pour principales stratégies de collecte de données l’observation participante, l’entrevue individuelle et le groupe de discussion, elle permet de tisser des liens entre les expériences vécues par les étudiant.es au sein de différents contextes de cours qui les sensibilisent à ce qu’ils/elles peuvent dégager et produire sur scène non pas en tant qu’acrobates, mais en tant qu’artistes.

A busca pela geração de mais receitas, competição por novas vendas, oportunidades de investimento e diversificação são alguns exemplos de fatores que levam as empresas a se internacionalizarem. A internacionalização é, de fato, uma estratégia que pode ser descrita como um processo de decisão complexo, tendo ganhado destaque entre os pesquisadores e profissionais empresariais nas últimas décadas. Foi possível observar que isso ocorre sobretudo mediante a internacionalização de empresas oriundas de economias emergentes. Neste estudo, são detalhados exemplos de estratégias utilizadas para a internacionalização, assim como empresas que adotaram essas estratégias em seus mercados de atuação. Todavia, ressalta-se, também, no decorrer do presente artigo, que boas estratégias não garantem o sucesso dos negócios, a menos que haja êxito em sua implementação. Por fim, são elencadas habilidades necessárias que precisam ser detidas por profissionais que visem gerenciar empresas internacionalizadas.

This study evaluates the heavy metals contents of soils in nine dump sites respectively. A total of twenty-seven samples were collected from the sampling locations and analyzed. Analysis revealed the mean concentration of heavy metals were in sequential order of Cr > Zn > Mn > Cu > Cd. The values of mean concentrations of the heavy metals in all the locations were as follows (Cr 1108.20±2.03), (Zn 510.19±5.86), (Mn 377.25±4.22), (Cu 145.75±4.18) and (Cd 7.88±3.65) exceeded the permissible limits from FAO/WHO. All the locations were heavily contaminated by the anthropogenic activities since geo-accumulation index, contamination factor and degree of contamination values indicated that the selected areas were polluted with the heavy metals detected. The result of this research showed that the sampling locations were heavily contaminated with the heavy metals determined. The environment should be continuously monitored by the relevant Government Agencies to ascertain the level of contamination within a particular period.

In this study, the relationship between teachers' workload and work-life balance was examined. The research, which was designed with the relational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was carried out in the province of Ankara in the 2020-2021 academic year. Two different data sets were collected in the study. The first is the study group consisting of 30 teachers working in public primary and secondary schools in the Yenimahalle district of Ankara. The second is the sample consisting of 436 teachers working in public primary and secondary schools in nine central districts of Ankara. Data were collected using a questionnaire and two scales. Excel and SPSS were used in the data analysis. The total average weekly time allocated by the classroom teachers working in public primary schools for the specified tasks was found to be 38 hours, and the branch teachers working in public secondary schools were found to be 30.9 hours. There are statistically significant relationships between teachers' perceptions of workload and work-life balance scores. As the workload of teachers increases, their work-life balance levels decrease, or as their workload decreases, their work-life balance levels increase.

In the twenty-first century, researchers continue to investigate procrastination behavior with curiosity. The study of procrastination gains a new dimension due to changing parameters, including time perception, life uncertainties, psychological disorders, evolving conditions, emerging opportunities, and advancing technology. Although procrastination can be observed at all ages and under all conditions, it is a common behavior among university students who are undergoing a significant transition to adulthood. This study aims to investigate whether academic procrastination in university students varies based on different variables. In the study, a descriptive survey was conducted with quantitative data. The procrastination behavior tendencies of 267 university students enrolled in the central faculties of a state university in Turkey were examined. The Academic Procrastination Scale and information form including demographic questions prepared by the researchers were used as data collection tools. Since the data had normal distribution according to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, the independent groups’ t-test and ANOVA were used to determine whether there was a difference in the procrastination scores of the students based on factors and total scores according to the variables. Findings showed that the procrastination tendencies of the students differed in terms of gender, faculty, department, duration of telephone use and telephone use purposes, interest in the department, and perceptions of competence in the field. How students utilize procrastination behavior is crucial when planning activities. Parameters should be handled in accordance with age. In newer studies, causal and longitudinal studies can be conducted by incorporating various variables into the research. Development or intervention programs can be executed with repetitive studies.

Although cinema reflects the culture of the society it is found, it cannot be said that its sole function is to reflect this culture. Cinema also questions the education policy applied in that society, the education system, and its point of view towards education and presents this questioning to its audience on the white screen. This questioning is an important tool, especially in terms of educational philosophy, because educational philosophy seeks answers to the questions and problems of education by using the cognitive tools of philosophy, like questioning and criticism, and criticism of the education policy constitutes an important part of these problems. In this study, Hababam Sınıfı-an educational-based film series, which started to be aired between 1970 and 1980, was analyzed philosophically, and some inferences were made regarding the Turkish education policy adopted at that period of time and based on these films made in the relevant period, teacher models, student characters and characteristics of the education system were revealed. Based on the teacher models/characters in the film, the expectations of the teachers from their students and the perspective of society towards the teaching profession in that period were interpreted. Similarly, based on the student models/characters in the film, the perspectives of students towards the Turkish education system, their expectations from the Turkish education system, and the effects of teachers and the education system of that period on students were analyzed. Finally, based on the teacher and student characters reflected in the films, the characteristics of the Turkish education policy and education system between 1970 and 1980 were explained, and some recommendations were made for future research.
Behavior Scale for Household Waste Recycling: A Validity and Reliability Study

Waste is creating serious environmental problems today, unlike ever before in history. Research has shown that waste recycling has not reached the desired level. Despite educational institutions providing waste and recycling training using various methods and techniques from a young age, the results are not satisfactory. The objective of this study is to develop a scale to assess the behaviors of middle school students regarding household waste recycling. Both exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted to validate the scale. The sample consisted of 392 7th and 8th-grade middle school students who had already received education on household waste recycling. The data included 177 students for the EFA and 215 students for the CFA from two separate sample groups. EFA revealed that the measurement tool could be grouped into three factors. The CFA results demonstrated that the data were within acceptable values, indicating that the model was supported by the data. The final version of the scale comprised 16 items. The first seven items were categorized under "Participation in Project," 6 items under "Care," and the remaining three items under "Reminder" based on factor names and expert opinions. The Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficients for the three factors ranged from 0.641 to 0.814. The Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient for the 16-item scale was determined as 0.862. It is believed that this developed scale will assist in assessing the impact of various methods used for household waste recycling on student behavior.

The Schiff base 2-{[(2-hydroxyphenyl)imino]methyl}quinolin-8-ol (HLH) and its 5,7-dibromo- (HBrLH) and 5,7-diiodo-derivatives (HILH), which were prepared by multi-step organic synthesis, were used to synthesize [Zr(L)2]·2DMF (1), [Zr(BrL)2]·DMF (2), and [Zr(IL)2]·2DMF (3) complexes. The prepared products were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy, which also monitored the stability of the prepared substances in DMSO, and in the case of HBrLH, HILH and 3, also by single crystal X-ray structural analysis. In the complex 3, two IL ligands are tetradentately bound to the central zirconium(IV) atom via two oxygen and two nitrogen atoms. DMF molecules are outside the coordination sphere. In complexes 1 and 2, we assume an analogous structure. Due to poor solubility, the in vitro cytostatic activity of only complex 2 and its ligand HBrLH was studied against 8 cancer cell lines of different origin (cervix, colon, pancreas, skin, breast, lung, liver and blood) and their selectivity was studied against healthy cell line BJ-5t (human dermal fibroblasts). HBrLH is comparably active to the reference drug, cisplatin, but complex 2 showed lower biological activity. Selectivity of 2 or HBrLH was not observed.
