Titanium-containing coagulants for foundry wastewater treatment
Authors: Kuzin E. N. , Kruchinina N. E.
Published: February 2021

Setting up a circulation water supply system is a prerequisite for a modern competitive steel making company. The most frequent problem faced by steel makers includes the challenge of removing suspended solids from large volumes of wastewater. Residual concentration of suspended solids (1-10 mg/l) is the main criterion of treatment efficiency. The most difficult task is to remove particles smaller than 1-2 microns, which stay suspended for a long time. One of the biggest sources of wastewater includes the process of removing residual molding sand from machine parts by water jet surface cleaning. Apart from high concentrations of suspended solids, process wastewater have high concentrations of dissolved organic compounds and require prior treatment before it can go to municipal wastewater treatment plants. Titanium-containing coagulants are being used more and more commonly in water treatment processes due to their high efficiency and the lack of most of the drawbacks inherent in conventional coagulants. This paper compares the conventional coagulants (i.e. aluminum and iron compounds) and coagulants containing titanium salts. In addition, complex titanium-containing coagulants were tested in the actual process of removing residual molding sand from machine parts by water jet surface cleaning. The findings show that titanium tetrachloride outperforms the conventionally used aluminum sulphate and iron chloride, while the effective dose of titanium tetrachloride is on average 2.5 to 3.0 times smaller. The obtained experimental data characterize the effect of added titanium compounds on the water treatment efficiency when conventional reagents are used. It was found that the addition 7.5 wt% of titanium tetrachloride to the conventional aluminum sulphate increases the treatment performance of the latter by 30%. The high efficiency of titanium-containing reagents is due to specific hydrolysis effects, as well as nucleation and flocculation at the surface of hydrolysis products. The rate of sedimentation and filtration of sludges resultant from water treatment with titanium-containing coagulants significantly exceeded that reached when using conventional reagents. The use of titanium-containing reagents will enable to transfer to smaller settlers and filters, reduce the consumption of reagents and reach an enhanced treatment performance. The treated water can be reused or discharged into municipal sewage treatment plants.

Published: February 2021

O presente artigo objetiva apreender a construção de uma agenda acerca da qualidade para a Educação Infantil representado pelo empresariado social. Nesse movimento, o ideário daNova Gestão Pública se destaca e o diálogo com o Terceiro Setor se aprofunda, evidenciando a predominância de parcerias público-privadas como forma de privatização no contexto da educação infantil brasileira. Entre os sujeitos que tem protagonizado o debate na Educação Infantil no empresariado social, selecionamos para análise a Fundação Maria Cecilia Souto Vidigal (FMCSV), Fundação esta que se encontra inserida em convênios com municípios, orientações sobre negócios de impacto na área da Infância, organização de estudos sobre boas práticas, organização curricular, orientações intersetoriais, elaboração de políticas, orientando o debate de qualidade pautado em eficiência e eficácia ajustado à produção de capital humano. Constatamos assim que a FMCSV atua no âmbito da privatização exógena e endógena, disseminado receituários de educação, concebidos a partir dos princípios da eficiência e da eficácia, como oportunidades de lucro imediato por meio do investimento na mão de obra futura – pela característica do negócio de impacto na infância, alinhado a uma agenda global, em que o fazer político se articula ao fazer econômico sob nova roupagem, por meio do empresariado social, em uma agenda de descentralização, influência ideológica e privatização dos serviços públicos da educação infantil brasileira.

Authors: Lara Angela Mara de Barros , Fernandes Maria Nilvane
Published: February 2021

O artigo possui como objetivo evidenciar a influência das Organizações não Governamentais Internacionais (OINGs) na promulgação da Convenção dos Direitos da Criança, em 1989. Com a promulgação da normativa, peritos especialistas, indicados por OINGs tornaram-se referência na fiscalização dos Estados-membros. A pesquisa concluiu que tais peritos, para serem nomeados para a cadeira de representação de um país, necessitam de uma ampla rede de contatos. Essa rede, formada pela sociedade civil é composta por um vasto empresariado que chancela se o candidato a perito é reconhecido socialmente para ocupar o cargo. Na elaboração do artigo mapeamos com o auxílio do software de análise Cmap Tools a rede de dois peritos, sendo eles, Antonio Carlos Gomes da Costa e Wanderlino Nogueira Neto. O estudo conclui que a rede que indicou os peritos pode comprometer a avaliação das instituições, tendo em vistas, que muitos delas executaram serviços contratando ONGs (nacionais e internacionais) às quais os peritos eram vinculados, antes da indicação.

Published: February 2021

O artigo tem como objetivo apresentar e problematizar as novas formas de relação entre o público e o privado, entre Estado, mercado e sociedade, como parte das reformas globais que vêm ocorrendo no Brasil e no mundo, desenvolvendo o referencial teórico “de redes” e de “redes dentro de redes” (BALL, 2014; 2013) como instrumento conceitual e analítico, a partir da materialização de um exemplo. Como procedimentos metodológicos, utilizamos a análise documental e o mapeamento dos sujeitos individuais e coletivos e suas relações que constituem a rede. Nas considerações, problematizamos as redes dentro de redes constituídas por empresários e novos filantropos que disputam um novo projeto societário, com um novo projeto de gestão pública e, consequentemente, de educação, promovendo um distanciamento cada vez maior do processo de democratização da educação pública.

Published: February 2021

The original input of this study involves in creating a critical thinking structure that can be used to explore the elements of critical thinking in the textbooks. The teachers, who are concerned with the improvement of students’ critical thinking skills, can also use this structure as a guideline. This study attempts to find out the extent to which critical thinking has been manifested in the two selected English textbooks, Punjab Textbook Board (PTB) and Oxford Progressive English (OPE) taught at secondary level in different Pakistani schools. It is the text that determines how effectively the critical thinking and knowledge is being developed in the learners. Both critical thinking and knowledge are the need of students at secondary level and these skills are essential for the English Language classrooms. These skills enable the students to learn concepts more thoroughly and without this learning outcome cannot be achieved. The questions given at the end of chapters of English textbooks (PTB) and (OPE) have been qualitatively analyzed. The proposed model of critical thinking used by Janpha Thadphoothon (2005) has been employed in this study. The findings of the content revealed that both text books contained the elements of critical thinking helpful in enhancing the knowledge of the students. The PTB textbook covers 25.37% and OPE covers 43.18% of critical thinking content for the secondary students. The findings revealed that the textbook published by OPE is playing a more significant role in developing critical thinking and enhancing knowledge in the students as compared to the PTB textbook.

Published: February 2021

In the modern world there are a number of unsolved problems concerning the physical development of youth. At the present time this problem is actual. There is an active regression in the physical development of incoming entrants. This problem starts in early adolescence, from the school bench.  At the moment of building the foundation in the physical development of schoolchildren is reducing the level of physical fitness. The gap in physical development at an early stage will be reflected in the future. Therefore, it is very important to pay due attention to active physical development. Due to lack of time, lack of necessary equipment, weak material and technical base of the educational institution, physical education is conducted in a simplified form and does not allow teachers to achieve the necessary pedagogical effect. In order to raise the importance of physical education and sport among school-age students, it is recommended that a number of measures be taken to promote it through the mass media, sporting events and competitions.

Development of The Occupational Class and Community Welfare of Fishing Families Through Community Enterprise: A Case Study in Village 2, Ban Ao Nam, Krabi, Thailand
Authors: Nawapon Kewsuwun Jirachaya Jeawkok,
Published: February 2021

This case study investigates how the occupational class of fishing families in Village 2, Ban Ao Nam, Krabi, Thailand might be developed through sustained community enterprise which, in turn, might promote their welfare. The description and analysis of occupational class development, community enterprise, and community welfare for the target sub-group is presented in light of the wider, global scale. The research uses the methodology of quantitative analysis of relevant literature and qualitative responses of participants in focus groups and interviews. Primary data gathering and analysis involved extensive literature searches; secondary data were derived from observation and interviews with the aid of closed and open-ended interview schedules, and during a focus group session. All findings are presented using basic statistics of means, frequency, and percentages. The content of data is analyzed and integrated through triangulation. In these processes, underpinnings of Albert Bandura’s efficacy postulations and John Holland’s vocational type theories are explored as they are considered applicable to occupational class development, community enterprise, and community welfare. The results of the study highlight the degree of influence that community enterprise could exert on the occupational class development of the target community within its geographical parameters, and the consequential welfare that this community gain. These results stress the positive impact that a unification of community enterprise action like proper management, policy, leadership, community engagement, networking, sustainability, learning, and adaptation would have on the occupational class development and welfare of the target sub-group. Given the general community perception of the occupation of fishing by families as low-ranking, and the study’s finding that overall support for exploration of the potential for class development of this sub-group was inadequate, the study’s primary recommendation is for the Thai government and private initiative to propagate the expansion of community enterprise for the class development and welfare of this occupation while supporting the target sub-group and the broader community in their own enterprise endeavors.
Sufficiency Economy Philosophy: An Enabler for Zero Waste City
Authors: Et al. Kannikar Khaw-ngern
Published: February 2021

Waste has become a critical problem in cities around the world. Each year, the world generates 2.01 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste, with at least 33 percent of that not managed in an environmentally safe manner. The currently consumption-driven lifestyle also produces a huge volume of waste each day threatening the world sustainability. Moreover, the ongoing depletion of natural finite resources is also leading the globe to an uncertain future. The purpose of this article is to study the zero-waste concept and the characteristics of zero waste city, to study the principles of sufficiency economy philosophy, and to review the role of sufficiency economy in waste reduction and how it contributes to zero waste city. Documentary study and literature review were used for data collection. The result showed that ineffective waste management including landfill and incineration can be one major cause of waste. Also, overconsumption can be another cause that exacerbates the current waste situation. A zero-waste strategy and the concept of zero waste city can contribute to waste prevention with its proactive-reduce, reuse, and recycle (3R)-principle and to the reduction of wastes sent to landfills and incinerators. Sufficiency Economy Philosophy can also contribute to waste reduction at the consumer side. With the zero-waste strategy and sufficiency economy philosophy, we can achieve waste and pollution reduction and preserve our environment, as well as create sustainability for the future generations.

Authors: Et al. Abdullah Ibrahim
Published: February 2021

Developing academic goals amongst students is a key aspect for achieving excellence across schools in Malaysia. It is meant to act as a benchmark to determine the effectiveness of a principal’s leadership. The leadership of a principal, and the school’s climate are the main issues which drive the achievement of students across national secondary schools (SMK) in Malaysia. This quantitative study aims to examine the influence and role of a principal’s leadership on the school climate, as well as its impact on the student’s academic achievement in domestic national secondary schools nationals on the East Coast of Malaysia. A total of 348 teachers were selected across vocational schools in the states of Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang, through the use of simple random sampling, for the purpose of quantitative reviews. The researchers used the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) to measure the leadership aspects of the principals, and the Organizational Health Inventory (OHI-M) to measure the climate of the school, as well as the achievement of academic students, which was measured using the CGPA of the schools in the examination areas over the last three years. The analysis of descriptive traits, for example, the number, percentage, scoring average, and the standard deviation was used to describe the demographics of the respondents, and analyse the data using regression, Pearson t-test correlations, and ANOVA. This helped to understand several key leadership factors, i.e., the International Transform Leadership, Tran Witness Leadership, Laissez-Faire Leadership, School Climate , and the Academic Achievement of the hypothesis testing, which was built according to the obtained statistics . The findings showed that the principal’s leadership influenced the climate across the school, and the achievement of the students. Therefore, it was proposed that the principal’s leadership needs to adopt the Transformational leadership, Transactional leadership, and Laissez-faire leadership as a guide in managing the school’s climate, especially in ensuring the teacher’s commitments, and the Student Academic Achievements, which can be further enhanced in line with the Malaysian

Education Quality Standards 2010 (SKPM), and the Malaysian Education Development Plan 2013 -2025.

Authors: Afridi Tahira
Published: February 2021

The well-rounded education is the interpretation of brilliant 21st century which has laid stress on use of digital technology in education. Policy makers are spotting at educational technologies to ensure the changed education. Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation Theory, which is considered more suitable for assessing the digital learning in education, was selected for this study. This study explores the perceptions of 3350 university students from Central Punjab, Pakistan, regarding the digital learning at public and private universities in Punjab. Survey research was used to achieve the objectives of the research study. A representative sample of administrators, teachers and students from faculties of Education and Business in eight Public and Private Universities of Central Punjab was taken. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied to assess and compare responses taken on adapted five-point Likert rating scale. Respondents rated outside class digital learning activities as the highest and inside class digital learning activities as the lowest factor in order of their preference. The overall level of digital learning at public and private universities of Punjab with respect to all three sub-scales is found to be at an average level, thus conventional learning is continued. The major findings revealed stakeholders are having an easy access and sufficient skills to use these digital technologies but even then its integration in learning is beyond acceptance. This study recommends the continuation of current Prime Minister free Laptops Scheme, concerned authorities providing pay back student loans with easy installments, high speed internet facilities at department’s computer labs, libraries, hostels and homes, improving searching skills of learners, counseling centers with trained staff for learners, learners’ subsidized trainings and the rigorous application of digital learning activities inside the classroom.

Published: February 2021

Background: Screening of thyroid disorders in antenatal women during first trimester, to recommend management of thyroid disorder during pregnancy and to know the maternal and fetal outcome of such pregnancy.Methods: This is a prospective study for the incidence of thyroid disorder in early pregnancy and the outcome of such pregnancy. 100 cases were randomly selected from the antenatal clinic at a tertiary care hospital in India and after fulfilling the inclusion criteria they were subjected to screening for thyroid disorder till 13 weeks of pregnancy. TSH is often considered the “gold standard” for assessing thyroid function. If the participant had normal value then she was not subjected to follow up, but if abnormal, then follow up was done after 4-8 weeks, thyroid profile was repeated and if values were altered, they were medically managed and closely monitored. The obstetric and perinatal outcome of the pregnancy was noted.Results: In this screening study to detect and manage thyroid disorder, 100 antenatal women were selected randomly, from which 49 women where primigravidae and 51 women were multi-gravidae, 17 of them were of <20years, 54 were between 21 to 25 years. There was 5 percent incidence of thyroid disorder in the study group. There were 3 cases of hyperthyroidism and 2 cases of overt hypothyroidism which had poor fetal and maternal outcome on follow up.Conclusions: Our study shows that the evaluation of thyroid disorders in early pregnancy and timely intervention will lead to a decrease in the complications thereby improving the maternal and fetal outcome.
Parotid gland tuberculosis-presentation of 4 case variants
Authors: Paruthy Samir , Paruthy Shivani B.
Published: February 2021

Pulmonary tuberculosis is a necrotizing granulomatous disease with diverse presentation. Nevertheless, extra pulmonary involvement although rare even in endemic regions, is associated with diagnostic dilemma for confirmation and treatment modalities. Contextually, parotid gland tuberculosis is a rare surgical presentation because of nonspecific signs, symptoms and allegedly low incidence; it is often misdiagnosed as parotid neoplasm, and therefore remains a diagnostic paradox. However, clinical suspicion alongside pathological evidence and imaging helps in diagnosing indecisive questionable cases. We present 4 cases of parotid tuberculosis each with different clinical presentation along with clinical suspicion and pathological diagnosis. Parotid tuberculosis is a rare clinical entity and completely curable by category-I anti-tubercular therapy. It has no residual deformity if diagnosed timely followed by conservative treatment management.

If these high velocity intra/peri articular fractures are not treated properly there will be high degree incidences of malunion, non-union, peri-op infections vs collapse of the medial condyle, ligamentous instability, malalignment of the axis, articular incongruity leading to post traumatic arthritis. Aim was to assess the anatomical reduction of articular surface of upper end of tibia and knee joint perfectly by operative treatment with internal fixation.  

Methods: The study was done for a period of 1 years on 30 patients with bicondylar tibial plateau fractures diagnosed with Schatzker type V and VI. Age ranged from 20-60 years with majority being in 30-39 years range with a largely male preponderance. Patients were followed up to 12 months.

Results: Our study reported Honkonen Jarvinen clinical outcome to be 86% excellent, 11.7% good and 1.7% fair. The functional outcome was 81% excellent, 13% good, 5% fair and 1% poor. The Radiological outcome showed 79.2% excellent, 12% good, 0.70% fair results. Our study used Honkonen Jarvinen criteria for radiological, functional, clinical outcome which showed excellent to good result.  

Conclusions: Dual plating is ideal for all bicondylar Tibial plateau fracture of Schatzker type V and VI with appropriate timing of surgery and understanding the anatomy, LCP system, appropriate technique with dual incision, the complication can be minimized, giving excellent to good results.  
Hablemos de política educativa en América Latina y el Caribe #6: Educación superior en América Latina: ¿Cómo las crisis económicas de las últimas décadas han afectado la matrícula?

Published: February 2021

Matricularse en una Institución de Educación Superior (IES) en ALC depende de múltiples factores, incluyendo el ciclo económico y las condiciones del mercado laboral. Durante una crisis económica la baja empleabilidad podría incentivar la decisión de estudiar, pero la caída de los ingresos y la ausencia de ayudas económicas podría desestimularla. En este documento discutimos los resultados de cómo generalmente los jóvenes de LAC responden matriculándose a una IES cuando las condiciones del mercado laboral no son favorables. Se enfatiza que la magnitud y dirección de la propensión a matriculase difiere para algunos países, en especial para aquellos que cuentan con menos programas de apoyo económico y recursos financieras para incentivar la matrícula (como Chile, Brasil y Colombia). Se analizan los resultados a la luz de la pandemia del COVID-19 y cómo afectaría la decisión matricularse.

Morfologia concatenativa e morfologia não concatenativa: do princípio morfológico ao princípio prosódico
Authors: Bevilacqua Cleci Regina , Silva Fernando Moreno da
Published: February 2021

No estudo dos processos de formação de palavras, a morfologia tem papel fundamental, pois nos ajuda a entender os constituintes morfológicos, as partes que formam uma palavra. Ao lado de processos tradicionais, como a composição e a derivação, há processos ditos marginais, que convocam, além dos princípios morfológicos, princípios prosódicos. Os processos tradicionais pertencem à morfologia concatenativa, e os processos marginais, à morfologia não concatenativa. Os não concatenativos redefinem o conceito tradicional de “morfema”, pois há elementos (ditos não morfêmicos) que não atendem às condições de morfema apregoadas pela gramática, como significação e recorrência. Para entender a concepção desses novos constituintes morfológicos, objetivamos, neste artigo, mostrar as diferenças entre as morfologias concatenativa e não concatenativa, destacando três processos que se baseiam no princípio morfofonológico: cruzamento vocabular, truncação e siglação.
A construção conectora argumentativa [p(a)ra lá de X]: uma análise baseada no uso
Authors: Rios de Oliveira Mariangela , Paula Vanessa Barbosa de
Published: February 2021

Investigamos, neste artigo, a construção conectora argumentativa formada pelas subpartes para, lá e de, acrescidas de um elemento X, que pode ser um nome abstrato ou uma oração reduzida de infinitivo, codificada como [p(a)ra lá de X]CA. Essa construção se distribui em dois subgrupos, a depender do preenchimento de X. Fundamentados na Linguística Funcional Centrada no Uso, nos termos de Traugott e Trousdale (2013) e Hilpert (2014), entre outros, assumimos que esse esquema se configura como membro da classe dos conectores argumentativos do português, passando a competir com outros membros dessa categoria pela instanciação no uso contemporâneo. Em análise qualitativa, constatamos que [p(a)ra lá de X]CA é uma construção complexa, parcialmente esquemática e composicional, pouco produtiva na língua, cumpridora de função gramatical, instanciada como mais uma estratégia de convencimento à disposição dos usuários.
Análise sociolinguística da variação na concordância nominal de gênero no português indígena sateré-mawé da Amazônia
Authors: Lucchesi Dante , Picanço Hellen
Published: February 2021

Seguindo os pressupostos da Sociolinguística Variacionista, o artigo apresenta os resultados de uma análise, em tempo aparente, da variação na concordância de gênero no Sintagma Nominal (SN), na variedade de português falado, em situação de bilinguismo, pelo povo indígena sateré-mawé, do Estado do Amazonas. Os dados foram retirados de oito entrevistas informais, com membros da comunidade, e submetidos ao cálculo estatístico, com o programa GoldVarb X. A variação na concordância nominal de gênero, que não ocorre normalmente no português popular do Brasil, resultaria da situação de bilinguismo da comunidade. E os resultados da análise quantitativa revelaram uma situação de mudança em progresso com a implementação do uso da regra de concordância na comunidade. Os fatores estruturais que condicionam o processo de mudança são: a configuração sintagmática do SN, a propriedade de flexão de gênero do nome núcleo do SN e sua vogal temática.
Naproxen for Post-Operative Pain
Authors: Weisman Steven
Published: February 2021

Introduction: Post-operative pain is a common type of acute pain that can require therapeutic intervention. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used to manage post-operative pain and help reduce or eliminate the use of opioids. Current pain management guidelines recommend administration of NSAIDs as first line therapy to all post-operative surgical patients, unless contraindicated, as one method to minimize opioid use. Methods: This article is based on previously conducted studies and does not contain any studies with human participants or animals performed by the author. Literature for controlled trials involving naproxen in a peri-procedural setting was included. Comprehensive meta-analyses and individual clinical trial reports were summarized. Results: Naproxen was shown to have significant efficacy in treating pain following different surgical interventions, eliminating, or reducing the use of rescue opioids in many trials. Importantly, naproxen did not demonstrate an increased rate of bleeding or other adverse events in this elevated-risk population. Conclusion: As a generally safe and effective medication, clinical consideration should be given to naproxen when developing any comprehensive, patient-specific, pain management plan.
