Published: September 2022

This study aimed to determine the perception of the Grade 12 TVL students on the school learning environment and scheme for employability during the academic year 2021-2022. This study further aimed to determine the preparedness of the students in terms of employability considering their learning environment during the new normal situation. The researcher employed descriptive method and random sampling technique in choosing the 100 respondents who are the Grade 12 Technical Vocational and Livelihood students of Atimonan National Comprehensive High School in Atimonan, Quezon. The study made use of a researcher-made questionnaire in assessing the perception of the respondents on variables under study. Frequency counts and percent distribution were employed to describe the respondents’ profiles. Mean and standard deviation was utilized to determine the perceptions of the respondents regarding the school learning environment and the employability scheme for TVL students. Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to test whether there is a significant relationship between the independent and dependent variables at 0.01 and 0.05 levels of significance. Based on the findings of the study, there is a significant relationship between the strand and the attitude of the respondents. Therefore, the null hypothesis posited in the study is not sustained. However, there is no significant relationship between the remaining profile of the respondents and the employability scheme. Thus, the null hypothesis of the study is sustained. There is a significant relationship between the respondent’s learning environment in terms of human practices and material systems and the scheme for their employability in terms of cognitive relationship, hands-on practical skills, ha,bits and attitude. Thus, the null hypothesis formulated is rejected. It is recommended that the school administrators may organize seminars and training workshops for hands-on practical skills enrichment of Grade 12 Technical Vocational Livelihood (TVL) students even during the new normal situation. Strengthening the school learning environment, curriculum, and the Grade 12 student’s employability through online platforms is also suggested. It is also recommended to organize yearly job fairs and skill demonstration activities for student’s engagement and preparation for employability. Since this study has a limited locale, it is suggested that future researchers may conduct a comparative study in a different research setting with a bigger population and with a much broader and wider scope of employability.

This study focused on determining the effectiveness of a developed interactive chatbot as a supplementary tool in studying Science and observing the manifestation of self-regulated learning skills among the Grade 10 students in Mabato National High School. It used a descriptive developmental research design participated by 35 students. Using the Mean and Standard Deviation, results revealed that the features of the evaluated chatbot are highly effective. This implies that the developed interactive Science Chatbot can be used as supplementary material in studying Science in a blended learning modality. Most respondents manifested the description of Self-regulated Learning Skills in terms of goal setting, self-monitoring, self-instruction, and self-reinforcement. This means that the skills were present and visible during the material delivery. The respondents’ Level of Satisfaction with the Use of Interactive Chatbot in terms of usage and content, language used, perception, and difficulties and limitations, most of them agreed that they were satisfied when using the developed interactive chatbot. For treating the difference in the pre-and post-test scores of the respondents in the science competencies test, a t-test was used. The results show a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test. It indicated that the chatbot features affect their test performance because they used it as a reviewer and can return to the topic that appears unclear to them. The result also implies that the chatbot was effective in assisting students in improving their performance on the science competencies test.

Интеграционные процессы на Латинском Востоке в XI-XIV вв. (Киликийская Армения в контексте католической культурной зоны)
Authors: Карагезян Гоар
Published: September 2022

After the First Crusade against the Levant the Crusade States were created. The four states were: the County of Edessa, the Principality of Antioch, the County of Tripoli and the Kingdom of Jerusalem. The Armenian Principality of Cilicia founded before the Crusades in 1080 and granted the status of Kingdom in 1198 was not traditionally included in the Crusade States, i.e. the Outremer States (in French outré-mer signifies overseas, distant lands). However, the cultural expansion of the Crusade States, penetrating the borders of neighbouring Cilician Armenia was unavoidable and natural. The newly emerged military-political conditions in the Levant required the assimilation of novel cultural boundaries and shaping of different cultural dimensions. The new conditions of co-existence entailed expanding the boundaries of the existing cultural-national community as well as understanding of new cultural impulses. Many political, religious figures of Cilician Armenia were influenced by the western world of the “outremer” and the culture of “catholic zone”. Nevertheless, Hethoum of Corycus, the author of “Flor des Estoires de la terre d’Orient”, most vividly highlights the western impact in his works. In Jean Richard’s opinion, the author himself is a “symbol of connection” between the East and the West.
The Threats of Climate Change on Water and Food Security in South Africa
Authors: Richard Kwame Adom , Mulala Danny Simatele , Memory Reid
Published: September 2022

Globally, water and food crises are exacerbated by climate change, population growth and changing lifestyles. These phenomena have resulted in escalating cycles of civil unrest and conflicts.  In South Africa, climate change has led to increased temperatures resulting in numerous deadly heat waves and varying rainfall patterns contributing to deadly flooding in most provinces and droughts in others. These extreme climatic conditions significantly impact agricultural production and water insecurity nationally. Despite the strong impact of climate change on water and food resources in the country, there is less education and inadequate data to address the impacts of climate change, especially at local levels; information is seldom used in planning and decision-making while there is a lack of actionable planning to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Using a mixed method approach of data collection and related literatures, this paper explored the weaknesses in the current climate change mitigation programmes in South Africa in the context of water and food security. The finding established that while multiple policies, regulations, and programmes are designed to minimise climate change's impact on water and food resources, the policies lack coherency at the formulation and implementation stages and are fragmented across various departments and institutions. This paper recommends a coordinated approach to tackling climate change and investment in research that will better understand the country's climate programmes in addressing water and food security.

Published: September 2022

Micromesistius poutassou (Blue whiting) popularly called ‘’Panla’’ in Nigeria. It is one of the affordable fishes imported to Nigeria. With the rising cost of meat, milk and protein foods, consumers have become increasingly interested in fish as a source of protein for its availability and affordability rate. Smoked samples of Micromesistius poutassou were randomly purchased from ten different markets in ten local governments in Lagos state. This collection (purchase) were carried out between June and November 2019 (6 months). The associated fungi were isolated using the pour-plate method and extracted its DNA with the aid of Zymo DNA extraction kit. The extracted fungal DNA were amplified by PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) using specific internal transcribed spacer primer (ITS1/ITS4) and sequenced. Of the total 480 smoked Micromesistius poutassou sampled, ten fungi species were identified and characterised. These fungi include: Kodamaea ohmeri, Daldinia eschscholtzii, Aspergillus longivesica, Aspergillus flavus, Phoma sp, Aspergillus sp, Mucor circinelloides, Aspergillus tamarii, Aspergillus niger, and Geotrichum candidum. Results from this study revealed that smoked Micromesistius poutassou, which are being consumed by Lagosians on the daily basis were heavily contaminated with pathogenic fungi.

Abstract
Background – India is considered as the vaccine manufacturing hub of the world and launched a mega vaccine drive for Covid-19, nevertheless it has encountered vaccine hesitancy.
Objectives -This study was done, with the objective to find out the Covid-19 vaccination coverage and its determinants among the elderly in a rural area of Kerala as well to find out any change in Covid appropriate behaviour among the vaccinees and various AEFI occurrences in this group.
Methods – We have done a cross sectional study in a rural area of Kerala with a sample of 684 persons selected by cluster sampling in October 2021 and the data collection tool adopted was interview schedule with a pretested questionnaire.
Results – The prevalence of Covid vaccination coverage were 95.3% (95% CI 93.7-96.9). The associated factors were age(p=0.013), education status of the vaccines (p=0.01) and education of spouse (0.001). The predictors found on regression analysis were, old age (adjusted odds ratio with 95%CI .260 (0.09-0.74) and low education level of spouse (adjusted odds ratio with 95%CI 3.613 (1.367-9.551). The statistical difference between the adverse effects after the first dose (46.9%) and second dose (32.5%) of covid vaccination was significant (p value from Mc-Nemar test =0.000) and no statistically significant change was found in Covid appropriate behaviour (p=0.5).
Conclusion – India is a country where vaccination drive was ramped up in a phased manner as soon as possible with increased availability of the vaccines and this study shows the rural population itself had a big coverage and covid vaccination programme is poised for success.
Clinicomycological & epidemiological profile of superficial fungal infections caused by dermatophytes in a tertiary care centre, Ahmedabad, India.
Authors: Bloch Dr
Published: September 2022

Purpose : (i)To determine the prevalence of dermatophytosis in the study population attending the skin OPD of our institute.(ii) To identify host & epidemiological factors that affect the occurrence of disease. (iii)To isolate & identify dermatophytes from clinically suspected cases of tinea & to correlate their occurrence with the epidemiological factors. Materials & Methods : Total 260 scrapings from skin, scalp & nails were taken from clinically suspected cases of tinea attending the OPD of tertiary care hospital of Gujarat,India. Direct examination with KOH mount was done. The scrappings were cultured on SDA & identified based on their morphologies & biochemical reactions. Results :Of the total 260 specimens, KOH positivity was 34.61 % & culture positivity was 28.84%. Females(50.38%) were affected more than males(49.61%) & maximum cases of tinea were present in 31-40 years(21.46%) age group. Housewives(36.15%) & daily wagers(18.84%) were the most inflicted occupational groups. Maximum specimens were from skin(36.15%), followed by nails(33.46%) & hairs(30.38%). T. capitis & T. corporis were commonest clinical types identified, with T. capitis majorly present in paediatric(< 10 years) age group(49.29%). Maximum isolates of dermatophytes were T. violaceum(29.33%), followed by T. mentagrophytes(24%) & T. rubrum(12%). Conclusion : In India, T.mentagrophytes & T.rubrum have been found to be more common but in our study T.violaceum was the commonest dermatophyte isolated; which was due to more number of T. capitis cases. Activities that involve laborious tasks make a person more prone to dermatophytosis. Hence, better practices of self-hygiene can help reduce the incidence alongwith community education.

Published: September 2022

Background: Warts, the most common manifestation caused by human papillomaviruses. Treatment is needed because of risk of transmission, cosmetic point of view, multiple, painful, and disfigurement caused by warts.

Aims and Objectives: In this study, two techniques of autologous therapy are compared in terms of safety and efficacy. Falknor’s needling and autoimplantation, both are minimally invasive procedures with the aim of treating one wart and inducing immunity against the viral infected cells.

Materials and Methods: Forty patients of clinically diagnosed cutaneous warts were randomly divided into two groups. In Group A, Falknor’s needling was performed on a single lesion in each patient. In Group B, autoimplantation was done by harvesting a single lesion and then implanting the tissue in subcutaneous tissue of the patient at other body site.

Results: Data were analyzed using SPSS software v. 23 (IBM Statistics, Chicago, USA) and Microsoft Office 2007. Both the modalities showed excellent response (P = 0.504) in the treatment of warts with Grade 4 improvement in 85% (17 patients each) in both the modalities, with 5% of the patients showing Grade 2 and Grade 3 improvement each in needling group.

Conclusion: Both the modalities of autologous therapy are simple, easy to perform, safe, and cheap modalities with excellent results in the treatment of cutaneous warts.

Published: September 2022

An analytical investigation is made to determine the heat and mass transfer mechanism of non-isothermal highly viscous uid in a long narrow porous channel. The walls of the channel are maintained at the same temperature. The mathematical model is developed by using the continuity, momentum, energy and diffusion equations. Analytical solutions are establish to get the expressions of velocity eld, pressure distribution, mass ow rate, wall shear stress, temperature profile, mass concentration distribution as well as the heat transfer rate (Nusselt number) and mass transfer rate (Sherwood number) with involved physical parameters. Numerical results are graphically sketched to describe the role of different parameters involved in the governing equations. It is observed that longitudinal velocity component is higher at the entrance region as compared to middle position and exit region of the channel. Temperature field decreases at the centerline of the channel with increasing suction (reabsorption) parameter. Concentration decreases from surface to the center of the channel and with increasing suction parameter concentration increases. Heat transfer rate decreases while mass transfer rate increases along the channel. With increasing Brinkman number heat transfer increases and its strength at the entrance region is higher than exit region.
REVIVING THE SUFFA TRADITION
Authors: Atay Rıfat
Published: September 2022

In Islamic history, one of the most intriguing questions has been the termination of the Suffa School immediately following the Prophet’s demise. As is well known, the Suffa Companions were comprised of mostly single young men who did not have anywhere else to go to. They were provided with shelter and food in the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina. Their sole occupa- tion was to spend all their time with the Prophet, learning and studying. They became so well versed in Islam that most of them were sent as teachers and/or governors to new provinces. The paper claims that today Gülen is seeking to revive the Suffa tradition in two ways. First, by resembling the first Suffa Companions himself. The four guiding principles traced in the lives of the Suffa Companions (single, simple, humble and pious) can be found in the daily life of Gülen. Thus, this paper suggests that Gülen is often mistaken as a Sufi when in fact he can be considered a member of the Suffa. Secondly, Gülen has been consistently provid- ing personal tutelage over the last two decades to hundreds of theology graduate students. Students gain admission to Gülen’s informal school by passing a rigorous exam in Islamic sciences and Arabic. Thereafter awaits them extensive study and an ascetic lifestyle. Students can remain as long as they wish, some for even as long as ten years. Gülen has been known to have had up to 40 students at times, although given his ill-health this number has dropped to 15 in recent years. In their lifestyle, daily programme and efforts post ‘graduation’ these students resemble the first Suffa Companions.

Published: September 2022

This study aims to determine the impact of social media entertainment on buying decisions via the Facebook platform. The research is quasi-experimental and is quantitative and descriptive. The sample size reached 500 active Facebook users from the Jordanian youth, and the snowball sample technique was employed. A questionnaire is the only tool used to collect the primary data and contains closed-ended questions. The Likert five-point scale measures the responses through the partial least squares (PLS) method. It was concluded that there is a positive statistical impact of social media-based entertainment on the buying decisions from e-fashion stores on the Facebook platform, and social media entertainment explains 28% of the variations in the buying decisions from e-fashion stores via Facebook. Social media is an effective and safe solution to cutting high unemployment rates in the Jordanian economy. The e-buying experience depends on entertainment, enjoyment, relaxation, and leisure. It is a radical solution for creating new jobs in the economy and decreasing the poverty rates among poor and unemployed people.

The essence and originality of the Russian legal consciousness in the modern period: a theoretical clarification
Authors: Ariticheva A. A.
Published: September 2022

Aim a theoretical concretization of the essence and originality of the legal consciousness of modern Russian citizens. The following argument is the basic one: socio-philosophical analytics is immanent to historically established theories of legal understanding and legal consciousness.
The author speaks on the history of the legal foundations in Russian statehood and identifies the specifics of legal understanding. The theories of state and law of B.N. Chicherin and I.A. Ilyin, as well as the socio-philosophical (libertarian) theory of law of V.S. Nersesyants are discussed. The originality of legal consciousness is proved to have been determined by the specifics of a particular time. Thus, some legal theorizations were created by B.N. Chicherin on the eve of the abolition of serfdom, by I.A. Ilyin on the eve and after the revolution of 1917, and by V.S. Nersesyants at the end of the Soviet period in the history of Russia. The theorizations of law undertaken by these thinkers can also be considered as their individual legal consciousness.
Despite the ideological diversity, the theoretical constructions of B.N. Chicherin, I.A. Ilyin and V.S. Nersesyants (as well as their legal consciousness) are related by the presence of the idea of justice (equality). The basic principle of law is truth as the identity of justice (B.N. Chicherin). The legal consciousness of a person as a statement of his "own spirituality" presupposes a special equality recognition of the "spirituality of other people" (I.A. Ilyin). The idea of equal norms and measures for all (social equality), freedom and justice are the main elements of law (V.S. Nersesyants). The idea of justice (equality) is stated as a certain theoretical inertia and included in socio-philosophical theoretical constructions (A.G. Sabirov, A.E. Makhovikov).
Today, at the next turning point in both Russian and world history, the legal consciousness of Russians is also discussed through the peculiar property of dialectical transformation inherent in it "in accordance", "in favor" or "contrary" to reality. It is indicated that today, equality and justice as specific Russian features of individual and mass legal consciousness presuppose, among other things, a twofold observance of legal self-discipline both by citizens themselves and by a legal state of social type.
Phenomena and risks of the profession-forming space in the modern society
Authors: Alenin P. N.
Published: September 2022

Aim to analyze the factors actively influencing the professionalization process using the phenomenological approach. Such factors are globalization, the current epidemiological situation and digitalization. The phenomenological analysis revealed the characteristics of the professional space specific for the information society. These characteristics allow us to determine the trends in the process of professionalization. The main indicators that mark the changes in the profession-forming space are deprofessionalization and shift of professional values of modern individuals, being, at the same time, the main risk factors of this process.
Peace Conceptual Metaphor Analysis in the Afghanistan Peacemaking Process - Case Study: Afghanistan Peace Map
Authors: Tayeb Abdul Qayum
Published: September 2022

In this research, we have used the descriptive-analytic method. The main purpose of this paper is to show the reflection and perception of the peace conceptual metaphor in Afghanistan's discourse space on the basis of "conceptual metaphor theory." Humans typically reflect on concrete or more physical things, according to this linguistic theory. The findings of this study show that the country's peace-making operatives reflected the abstract and nonphysical concept of peace on a variety of concrete and physical things. For example, on the basis of the "Afghanistan Peace Map" context, the peace abstract concept is reflected on the experimental and objective concepts, like: "journey", "structure", and "live objects." Therefore, the conceptual metaphors of "peace is journey", "peace is structure" and "peace is live objects" are the three more prevalent concepts that are reflected in this context. These metaphors are not only more prevalent and user-friendly in the context of the "Afghanistan peace map," but research into published contexts in the Afghanistan peace-making process reveals that these metaphors flowed in the substructure of all peace contexts.
Effect of Temperature on the Ability of Pseudomonas stutzeri Bacteria Isolated from Different Sources to Fix Nitrogen
Authors: Al. Saffar Fawz A.
Published: September 2022

Background Research has tended to increase the number of nitrogen-fixing microbes in the ground to increase the rate of Stabilization and supply plants with their needs of Nitrogen while reducing nitrogen fertilization and the surrounding problems of pollution, loss, and cost, so a type of microorganism was used in this degree to fix Nitrogen and its use as an alternative to chemical fertilizers.

Methodology, the isolated Pseudomonas stutzeri bacteria from different sources, were planted on a nitrogen-free medium after sterilization in an autoclave device, and the medium was distributed in 10 ml tubes. Then the bacteria were cultured in this medium and incubated for five days at a temperature of 37 °C, after which the growth was measured by a spectrometer and using the Nessler reagent detector. The same nitrogen-free medium was used, but the bacteria were incubated at different degrees. They were divided into three groups, the first incubated at 25 °C, the second at 35 °C, and the last at 45 °C.

The effect of isolating Pseudomonas stutzeri bacteria from different sources on nitrogen fixation was isolated from urine, feces, and sputum. The nitrogen concentration in the medium containing the bacteria isolated from urine was 3.8%. In contrast, the Nitrogen installed in the medium containing the bacteria isolated from the feces reached the highest concentration of 6.2. The nitrogen fixation in the medium containing the bacteria isolated from the sputum reached the lowest concentration of 2.4%, As in Figure 1 This case can be explained by the fact that the presence of bacteria in the intestine led to the gene expression of the genes that encode the enzyme Nitrogenase. Effect of temperature difference on nitrogen fixation in the culture media. The treatments were divided into three treatments, with five replications for each treatment after sterilization of the culture media. They were distributed into 10 ml tubes and inoculum with bacteria for each tube. The first group was incubated at 25 °C, the second at 35 °C, and the last at 45 °C. For five days in a vibrating incubator, the results showed that the concentration of Nitrogen installed in the first treatment (25 °C) was 2%, while the highest concentration in the second treatment (35 °C) was 5.2%, and in the last treatment (45 °C) 3.4%, as shown in Figure 2. Interpretation of this is that the ideal degree for bacterial growth is 37 °C.

Authors:   Department of Psychology, University of Nairobi, Kenya, Njuguna Christina Nyamugoro
Published: September 2022

The relationship between workload and emotional exhaustion is dynamic. Various demographic variables mediate between workload and emotional exhaustion, including gender, age, marital status, level of education, work experience, number of lessons per week, teaching subject, and the school category. However, there is a lack of current information on various demographic valuables’ role in the relationship between workload and emotional exhaustion among teachers. This article aims to explain the mediation role of the selected demographic variables in the relationship between workload and the emotional exhaustion of high school teachers in Kiambu County, Kenya. The study utilized 367 teachers, of which 331 responded to the questionnaire. Multinomial logistic regression analyses were used to determine how the variables mediated the relationship between workload and emotional exhaustion of the teachers. The mixed results indicated that various demographic factors mediated the relationship between workload and emotional exhaustion either positively or negatively. Given the dynamic nature of the workload for teachers, it would be essential to consider the demographic variables to ensure teachers’ emotional health.

Authors: Riyanti Diyah Ayu , Ramadhani Mutiara , Fitriyah Lailatul
Published: September 2022

Pelaksanaan Pembangunan infrastruktur untuk kepentingan umum membutuhkan lahan luas, tetapi lahan tersebut umumnya sudah dilekati hak atas tanah. Sehingga terjadi alih fungsi lahan. Hal itu menimbulkan pertanyaan tentang implementasi UU No.11 Tahun 2020 terhadap ahli fungsi lahan pertanian guna menunjang pembangunan infrastruktur dan dampak alih fungsi lahan pertanian. Dengan ini disimpulkan alih fungsi lahan dilaksanakan sesuai dengan ketentuan dalam peraturan. Akan tetapi, alih fungsi lahan pertanian mengancam ketahanan pangan di Indonesia karena jumlah lahan pertanian yang terus berkurang. Pengendalian terhadap fungsi lahan pertanian menjadi upaya menciptakan ketahanan dan kedaulatan pangan guna peningkatan kemakmuran dan kesejahteraan dari petani maupun masyarakat umum.

One of the crucial challenges for microscopic imaging techniques was lack of ability to give a comprehensive and undivided view of the whol material to be characterized, which restricts the ability to determine the homogeneity of the material as well as the efficiency of the preparation protocol used. So, it is important to use computerized (or computed) tomography (CT) scanners, as a powerful characterizing technique for materials with a tremendous ability to identify different changes in it with a plethora of qualitative and quantitive data for each whol sample. In this article, we have introduced some important aspects that CT technology can provide to explain some ambiguous aspects in the study of materials, through this technique we determined the best conditions to perform the synthesis procedure that able us to produce fine homogenous material. Also, this technique through 3D modeling can sort the more intensive phases and isolate them. CT scans have many features that can be summarized in the following points: nondestructive, inexpensive, rapid (2sec.), no need for sample preparation, easy to handle the data or images, each sample gives extremely big data, ability to study as much as possible samples at the same time for comparison, 3D images can be modeled using common software.

With all the numerous spills all across Niger Delta ranging from various sources it become imperative for the remediation of the impacted areas. Remediation is means or a process by which an impacted area contaminated by crude oil is restored. Bioremediation could be view from two perspectives which includes Insitu and Exsitu strategies. Both strategies are primarily aimed at removing the contaminants from soil and ground water. While the Insitu strategy address contamination issues in the subsurface the Exsitu strategy address contamination at the surface. Typical examples of the insitu strategies includes Biosparging, Bioventing while that exsitu includes the deployment of landfarming strategies and Biopiling. This research deployed both insitu and exsitu remediation strategy. Specifically, Landfarming as an exsitu remediation techniques was used to address the soil component of the research work. While biosparging remediation strategy was deployed to address contamination within the groundwater. Biosparging and land farming techniques have shown that remediation, especially in terms of groundwater, can be done faster when there are used together. The Exhumed impacted soil was made to undergo steps associated with landfarming techniques. Contaminated soil were exhumed and spread over a prepared bed area for aeration or oxygenation. The spread soil was frequently tilled before there were used to construct windrows to aid the aeration process. The total petroleum hydrocarbons of land farmed soil were drastically reduced before they were returned. These is in line with the view of International Centre for Soil and Contaminated Sites (2006) that ‘’Effective remediation through landfarming will increase microbial activities that will eventually address contamination on soil. Similarly, the impacted ground water also felt the impact of this action and with addition of the sparging operations there were also reduction in the Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon level in the groundwater over the period of the project. The operations of biosparging do not only influence the reduction of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) in the groundwater but also other contaminants of concerns such as benzene.

Published: September 2022

Sputtering is a technique used for thin film deposition on different substrates for centuries. In this technique, the source atoms or electrons are bombarded on the target material that sputters target metal atoms. The emitted target atoms are deposited on the substrate in the form of thin films. Several sputtering parameters control the rate at which films are deposited. These sputtering parameters include voltage applied, sputter yield, type of the gas used, type of the target material used, type of the substrate on which the thin films are to be deposited, the working pressure of the system, power, temperature of the system and substrate, angle of incidence of bombardment and distance between target and substrate. These parameters are essential to have thin films of desired thickness and properties. These properties include electrical properties, thermal properties, optical properties and chemical properties as well.
