Crossing Gender Studies With the Commons: A Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Périvier Hélène
Published: August 2024

Gender studies and commons studies have gradually developed to achieve academic recognition. They share common features : both fields lead to a rethinking of the boundaries between private and public spheres, renewing the definitions of ownership, labor, management, and resource sharing. They also pay specific attention to North-South relations. The concepts of gender and the commons are rooted in academia and are subject to various appropriations, particularly for programmatic purposes advocating for gender, environmental, and social justice. Crossing these two perspectives produces a heterogeneous body of knowledge, analysis, and recommendations. The purpose of this paper is to report on the diversity of literature at the intersection of gender studies and commons studies. We conduct a detailed bibliometric analysis based on an original database, Genre&Com. We quantify the dynamics of publications and dissemination, and the practices in terms of co-authoring and multidisciplinary collaboration. We also document the types of resources associated with the commons. Additionally, we compare the specificity of this dual field to the broader literature on the commons. Finally, we propose a framework to map this literature and apply it to the Genre&Com database. The ultimate goal is to facilitate the understanding and appropriation of this dual field by different categories of actors, including academics and practitioners.

Perceived Social Support as an Antecedent of Academic Achievement among form two Students in Gaborone City, Botswana
Authors:   Kenyatta University, Masisi Salo
Published: August 2024

Academic achievement which is reflected in knowledge mastery, and Skill development has been a major concern for academicians and policy makers. Further, there have been scanty studies on this area in Gaborone City, Botswana linking psychological variables to poor academic achievement. It is against this that the current study investigated the relative predictive weight of perceived social support and student academic engagement on academic achievement. This study was founded on Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory and Albert Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory. A correlational research design was employed. The target population of the study was 3713 form two students spread across the 8 secondary schools in the Gaborone City Botswana. Purposive sampling, stratified sampling and simple random sampling techniques were used to select the study sample size of 397 respondents. The study used an adapted Multidimensional scale for perceived social support, an adapted cognitive engagement inventory and end-of-term-two examination results as tools for data collection. Prior to data collection, pilot testing was among 50 randomly selected students and involved both reliability and validity testing. The analysis was conducted using the SPSS software Version 26 where descriptive statistics, Pearson's Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, multiple regression were used. The prediction model of academic achievement from social support and academic engagement was statistically significant, F (2,381) = 11.17, p < .001, with the two variables accounting for 11% of the change in academic achievement. Of the two, perceived social support (β = 0.24, p < 001) was a better predictor of academic achievement as compared to academic engagement (β = 0.15, p < .05). The findings of this study may have significance for learners, parents and teachers in addressing poor academic achievement.

Experimental investigation of the incorporation of trivalent chromium-contaminated activated carbon into cementitious materials
Authors: Amina Azarrih , Lyacine Bennacer , Benamar Balegh , Nassim Kernou
Published: August 2024

This study proposes to investigate the incorporation of trivalent chromium-contaminated activated carbon into cementitious materials as a potential solution for waste management and materials improvement. The research explores the effects of varying the content of polluted activated carbon on the mechanical properties of cement-based mortars. Activated carbon, known for its adsorptive properties, was treated to contain varying concentrations of trivalent chromium and subsequently integrated into cement matrices at different percentages (1%, 2%, 5% and 8%) by weight. Experimental results reveal that the addition of activated carbon significantly improves the compressive strength and flexural strength of mixes, thus mitigating environmental risks. Microstructural analyses, performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FTIR, indicate improved interfacial bonding and pozzolanic activity thanks to activated carbon's unique properties. This study demonstrates the viability of using chromium-contaminated activated carbon as a sustainable material in construction, promoting the circular economy while addressing the challenges of contamination in the cement industry.
Mass insulation enhancement of cork stoppers through heat treatment: experimental measurements, modeling, and optimization
Authors: Kermezli Tayeb , Announ Mohamed , Ladeg Soufyane , Boukrida Aboubakr
Published: August 2024

Natural cork stoppers, used as bottle sealers for high-end products such as ingredients and flavorings, belong to the highest class in terms of cork quality. Various studies have been carried out to examine the solute diffusion in cork using conventional methods. However, the investigations were limited to natural cork stoppers that had been boiled and cut in a single direction. In this study, the anisotropic cylindrical shape of cork samples was modeled, considering various cutting directions. Additionally, we subjected the stoppers to boiling then to an optimal THT cycle to improve the cork's mechanical qualities.  The optimal thermal cycle is determined using TGA analysis. IR and SEM tests are employed to verify the enhancements in the cork. The apparent mass diffusion coefficient (Dapp) is determined by the calibration of the model with the experimental data acquired via the conductometric method. The coefficient values are optimized using the Bat algorithm with a relative error of 10–5. The Dapp was found to be better for the treated cork grown in the Jijel region than for the cork Medea, which is better than of Skikda cork. Regarding the impact of the cutting direction on the Jijel's cork, the results indicate that the mass insulation is higher when the treated stoppers are cut in the tangential-longitudinal direction (DJTLt=4,12.10-13m2s-1) compared to the tangential-radial direction (DJTRt=7,75.10-13m2s-1) and the longitudinal-radial direction (DJLRt=8,53.10-13m2s-1). The treatment, which serves as a solution for the cork industry, showed an improvement in mass insulation 13-fold greater than the natural cork.

Patterns of Internationalising Higher Education and the Flows of Education Resources during the Late Qing Dynasty of China
Authors: Zhang Qiang , Rahim Normaliza Abd.
Published: August 2024

During late Qing, neocolonialism was a serious phenomenon situated in the higher education, forcing universities to globalise and adopt foreign education patterns. Furthermore, there are also some outward flows of education resources, although there were more tints of inward flows of education resources. This paper aims to address two research questions: What are the patterns of internationalization in higher education institutions during the Late Qing Dynasty? To what extent, the higher education resources flow inbound and outbound during the Late Qing Dynasty? Based on the telephone interview with six professors of education history in China, it is found that as impacted by Western colonialism, Chinese universities showed a strong signal of globalisation in the late Qing. Meanwhile, some traditional teaching patterns and textbooks with Chinese characteristics were also used to stir the learning enthusiasm of local students.  In the late Qing, inward/inbound flows of education resources were more evidenced than outward/outbound flows. This could be exemplified by some major sources of the textbooks used at universities. Specifically, the first source was the western teachers, who bought textbooks from the mother countries. The second source was many Chinese ambassadors to France and Britain, who sent back to China the original western textbooks. It is hoped that future study will focus on the patterns of internationalizing higher education and flows of education resources during Modern China.

Published: August 2024

Teens can have nutritional anemia by not getting enough iron, folate, or vitamin B1. Although many other nutritional anemia types can manifest, iron deficiency anemia is the most prevalent. Objective: The study aims to discover the prevalence of anemia and its risk factors among nursing students in the nursing college of Hyderabad. Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia and associated risk factors among nursing students at the Nursing College of Hyderabad. It was conducted from March 15, 2024, until June 29, 2024. In a sterile environment, each subject had blood drawn by certified phlebotomists. Several hematological indicators were measured throughout the examination, including hemoglobin (Hb), serum ferritin, serum iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation. Results: The overall frequency of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) was 42.0% among the students, with 215 individuals confirmed to be anemic. Of these pupils, 103 were male, and 112 were female, for 52.1%. The research discovered robust associations among college students between iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and several lifestyle and nutritional factors. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) was statistically related to less consistent breakfast eating; 62.8% of IDA students reported this, compared to 37.2% of students who reported regular breakfast consumption. This correlation was statistically significant, with a p-value of 0.012. Furthermore, there was a notable correlation between the intake of vegetables and fruits and the occurrence of IDA (p = 0.03). Conclusion: The study discovered that 42.0% of apparently healthy young nursing students in the sample had iron deficiency anemia (IDA). The study also found that insufficient iron intake, frequent tea drinking, frequent consumption of red meat, and a previous history of iron deficiency anemia were the top risk factors for developing anemia.

Published: August 2024

Paralympic athletes are separated from healthy athletes by having various diseases/disabilities and using auxiliary equipment. This study was planned to compare paralympic athletes' hydration, body composition, and nutritional status. For this purpose, a comparison of branches, sex, and nutritional habits on training day and non-training day were examined by 66 professional athletes from the Turkish Physically Disabled Sports Federation included in the research. Demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, nutritional habits, and physical activity data of individuals were collected. Dietary, physical activity, and water balance scale records were determined to evaluate the nutritional, physical activity, and hydration status of these athletes, respectively. Food consumption data were analyzed with the Nutrition Information System (BeBis) in detail; energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat, water, vitamin D, vitamin B12, calcium, magnesium, and iron were examined. Measuring mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) is a good indicator of skeletal muscle protein mass. While women’s MUAC was 28.9±3.8 cm and men’s MUAC was 30.7±7.0 cm, respectively. When the reference values recommended for healthy athletes are met, it has been observed that protein, carbohydrate, iron, and calcium didn’t meet the recommendations. Carbohydrate, dietary vitamin D, calcium and magnesium values were found to be higher on the training day than on the non-training day (p0.05). The hydration status of the athletes was found to be inadequate in all conditions of gender, branch and the presence or absence of training.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of essential oil from orange peel in the refrigerated conservation of the ‘Benitaka’ table grape, as well as to evaluate its in vitro effectiveness on Botrytis cinerea, the causal agent of gray mold. Grapes were harvested from a commercial field in the municipality of Cambira, Paraná, during the 2022 and 2023 seasons. The experimental design was completely randomized, with four treatments and five replications of five bunches per plot. The treatments were: a) control; b) essential oil from orange peel at 4.0 mL of the commercial product (c.p.) L-1; c) dual phase SO2-generating pads containing 1 and 4 g of the active ingredient (a.i.) in the fast and slow phases, respectively; and d) essential oil from orange peel at 4.0 mL c.p. L-1 associated with the dual phase SO2-generating pads containing 1 and 4 g of the a.i. in the fast and slow phases, respectively. A commercial product containing 61.14 g L-1 (6% w/v) of 4-isopropenyl-1-methylcyclohexane, the source of orange essential oil, was applied by spraying it directly onto the bunches. After drying, the grape bunches were stored in a refrigerated chamber at 1.0±1°C and 95% relative humidity. The following variables were assessed 30 and 45 days after the beginning of cold storage: the incidence of gray mold on berries, loss of bunch mass, stem browning, shattered berries, and bleaching. The minimum inhibitory concentration for the development of B. cinerea was determined, and fungal mycelia were observed using scanning electron microscopy to evaluate the in vitro efficacy of orange essential oil. The data were subjected to analysis of variance, and the means were compared using Fisher's difference test at 5% probability. The effectiveness of orange essential oil in suppressing the development of B. cinerea was demonstrated both in vivo and in vitro, making it a safe alternative for the postharvest conservation of 'Benitaka' table grapes.

Published: August 2024

The use of waste generated in the agroindustry can result in increased production at a relatively low cost compared to traditional ingredients, especially for producers with easy access to this waste. This study proposes to estimate the kinetics of passage and degradation of corn, soybean, wheat residues and corn silage in the gastrointestinal tract of cattle. Four rumen-fistulated animals with an average weight of 450 ± 50 kg were assigned to four treatments (corn, soybean, wheat residues and corn silage) in a 4×4 Latin square experimental design. The fiber from the residues and corn silage used to estimate the passage kinetics was marked with potassium dichromate, whereas the in situ technique was employed to estimate the fiber degradation kinetics. A larger potentially degradable fraction and a smaller undegradable fraction were observed for corn residue and corn silage, whereas no differences were detected between the materials for passage kinetics. The residue from corn processing is similar to corn silage in terms of degradation kinetics and mean fiber retention time, while the other residues have worse degradation kinetics than corn, which is due mainly to the elevated undegradable fraction. All the analyzed residues, as well as corn silage, share the same characteristics of fiber passage kinetics.

Authors: Røjkjær Rasmussen Line , Vingaard Olesen Anne
Published: August 2024

Denne undersøgelse, støttet af Vejdirektoratets Cykelpulje 2023, undersøger potentialet for og barriererne imod brugen af ladcykler uden for hovedstadsområdet i Danmark. Projektet bygger på en landsdækkende spørgeskemaundersøgelse med 2.702 respondenter og en gennemgang af eksisterende litteratur om ladcykler. Resultaterne viser, at ladcykler primært appellerer til veluddannede familier med småbørn, som bor i større byer, hvor de bruges som et alternativ til en ekstra bil i husstanden. De største fordele ved ladcykler er muligheden for at transportere børn og opnå økonomiske besparelser sammenlignet med bilkørsel. Samtidig identificeres anskaffelsespris, manglende infrastruktur, og praktiske udfordringer som de væsentligste barrierer. Undersøgelsen peger på, at ladcykler kan spille en større rolle i fremtidens bæredygtige mobilitet, men at der er behov for øget opmærksomhed på de infrastrukturelle og økonomiske forhold, der kan fremme udbredelsen af ladcykler i hele landet.
