Published: July 2023

Land damage caused by gold mining activities is mainly due to soil contamination by Mercury (Hg). Ex-gold mines are soils that have poor chemical, biological, and physical properties, resulting in a very low level of soil fertility. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of rubber leaf litter compost and biochar of oil palm empty fruit bunches to obtain the best dose recommendation in improving the ex-gold mining soil on the growth of rubber seedlings (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.). This study was designed by a completely randomized design consisted of 7 treatments and repeated 3 times. The treatments were rubber leaf litter compost at a dose of 10 tons/ha and 20 tons/ha, biochar of oil palm empty fruit bunches at a dose of 10 tons/ha and 20 tons/ha, combination of rubber leaf litter compost and biochar of oil palm empty fruit bunches at a dose of 10 tons/ha and 20 tons/ha, respectively. The results showed that the combination treatment of rubber leaf litter compost and biochar of oil palm empty fruit bunches at a dose of 20 tons/ha resulted in a soil pH value of 4,85, Al-dd 0,42 cmol/kg, C-organik 0,92%, N-total 0,053%, C/N 11,25, P-available 122,69 ppm, K-dd 0,40 cmol/kg, and reducing soil mercury by 0,01 ppm. The growth of shoot height and leaves number of rubber seedlings was obtained by the application of biochar of oil palm empty fruit bunches at a best dose of 20 tons/ha. In addition, the treatment of rubber leaf litter compost at a dose of 20 tons/ha was able to increase the leaf width of rubber seedlings (h. brasiliensis Muell. Arg.).

The Ukrainian dimension of Britain's foreign policy amid the Russian special military operation
Authors: Gavrilenko Nikita Vladislavovich
Published: July 2023

The article looks at the UK's foreign policy in Ukraine against the background of the special military operation of the Russian Federation. The author examines historical prerequisites for Britain's involvement in the conflict, in particular, reveals the process of forming a model of the state's behaviour in the international arena and shows how bilateral relations between London and Kiev have developed. The study also determines the significance of the events in Eastern Europe for the UK as a power with global ambitions. The scientific research program of realism is used as the theoretical basis of the article, with the historical—genetic method, discourse analysis and problem node decomposition used as its methodological basis. While conducting a research, an attempt was made to systemise all the goals and interests that the United Kingdom pursues. It was concluded that London takes part in the crisis in Ukraine indirectly for several reasons that are national, regional, and global in nature. All the efforts of the political leadership are aimed at diverting attention of British subjects from domestic political issues, strengthening the position of the state on the European continent and not allowing the Russian Federation to fulfil its strategic tasks, thereby creating new opportunities for itself elsewhere.
How (Most) Philosophers Have Failed Humanity
Authors: Olivier Bert
Published: July 2023

This paper focuses on the theme of “how (most) philosophers have been struck by blindness in the age of the ‘great reset’ and failed humanity.” I have been able to trace only a few philosophers or intellectuals who have seen through the fog of dis- and misinformation to grasp the iatrocratic and corporatocratic aims of private global organisations, namely to reduce the numbers of, and enslave the rest of humanity by various lethal and otherwise destructive means. The paper initially concentrates on the question of what a philosopher is, followed by a discussion of the contributions of four exemplary philosophers who have had the perspicacity and courage to grasp the true nature of forced global events since the start of the “pandemic.” It further focuses on some criticism against their position(s), where necessary providing evidence to either support or invalidate the positions concerned. Evidence is adduced for the claim that those who submitted to Draconian rules and unjustified injections did not think through the manner in which this happened, nor did the necessary prior research concerning the vaunted safety of the “vaccines” or the probable ultimate goal of forces driving the neo-fascist transformation of contemporary society.

Giriş: Cerrahi hastalıkları hemşireliği (CHH) alanında lisansüstü eğitimine devam eden/tamamlayan hemşirelerin, kanıta dayalı uygulamaların geliştirilmesi için bilimsel araştırmalara katılmaları, takip etmeleri ve araştırma bulgularını/sonuçlarını yorumlayabilmeleri gerekmektedir. Ancak istatistik kaygısı, hem bilgi-beceri kazanmayı hem de bilimsel araştırmalara katılmayı olumsuz etkileyen bir faktördür. Amaç: CHH alanında lisansüstü eğitime devam eden hemşirelerin istatistik kaygı düzeylerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu araştırma Türkiye’deki üniversitelerde cerrahi hastalıkları hemşireliği alanında lisansüstü eğitime devam eden ve araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan 114 hemşirenin katılımıyla gerçekleştirildi. Veri toplamada Hemşire Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu ve Lisansüstü Eğitim Öğrencilerine Yönelik İstatistik Kaygısı Ölçeği (LEÖYİKÖ) kullanıldı. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin LEÖYİKÖ toplam puan ortalamaları 32.3±9.6 bulundu. Hemşirelerin ölçek toplam puan ortalamalarının cinsiyete, lisansüstü eğitim dönemine ve araştırma yöntemleriyle ilgili kursa katılma durumlarına göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık gösterdiği belirlendi. Yedi değişken için, gruplar arasında kaçınma alt boyut puan ortalamaları açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulundu. Sonuç ve Öneriler: Hemşirelerin istatistik kaygılarının ortalamanın altında olduğu görülmektedir. Erkek, yüksek lisans eğitime devam eden ve araştırma yöntemleriyle ilgili kursa katılmayan hemşirelerin istatistik kaygıları daha yüksektir. Erkek hemşireler, akademisyen olmayanlar, yüksek lisans eğitimine devam edenler, bilimsel yayın takip etmeyenler, bilimsel araştırma ve toplantıya katılmayanlar ile araştırma ve istatistik yöntemlerine ilişkin kursa katılmayan hemşireler istatistikten kaçınma eğilimi göstermektedirler. Nispeten kaygı düzeyleri yüksek seyreden erkek, yüksek lisans eğitimine devam eden ve araştırma yöntemleriyle ilgili kurslara katılmamış olan hemşirelerin istatistik kaygısı ile olumlu baş edebilmeleri ve kaçınma eğilimlerinin azaltılabilmesi için desteklenmeleri önerilmektedir.

Published: July 2023

Это исследование направлено на изучение эффекта добавок дрожжевой культуры (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) на показатели убоя молодых баранов. В соответствии с принципом сходства, было отобрано девять баранов средним весом около 31 кг и разделено на три равные группы. Основная кормовая смесь (MFR) контрольной группы (I) содержала траву, ячмень и хлопковую муку. Животные групп II и III были кормлены дополнительно 1 и 3 граммами хлебопекарных дрожжей в день соответственно, в дополнение к MFR. Холодные туши молодых баранов в группах II и III были на 15,4% (P<0,01) и 5,92% (P<0,05) выше, чем в контрольной группе. Аналогичная тенденция наблюдается в количестве внутреннего жира. Количество внутреннего жира в группах II и III на 46,15% (P<0,01) и 30,77% (P<0,05) соответственно выше, чем в группе I. Показатели убоя животных в экспериментальных группах также значительно превышали контрольную группу. Показатели убоя животных в группах II и III составляют соответственно 17,21% (P<0,01) и 7,82% (P<0,05), аналогично выше, чем показатели контрольной группы. Выход мяса в экспериментальных группах на 15,32% (P<0,05) и 10,48% (P<0,05) соответственно выше, чем в группе I.

This research aimed to investigate the effect of the yeast culture (saccharomyces cerevisiae) supplements on the slaughter indicators of male lambs. According to a similarity principle, nine lambs were selected with an average body weight of about 31 kg and divided into three equal parts. The main food ration (MFR) of the control (I) group contained grass, barley, and cottonseed meals. Animals of II and III groups were fed with an extra 1 and 3 grams of bakery yeast per day separately in addition to MFR. The cold carcasses of male lambs in the II and III groups were 15,4% (P<0,01) and 5,92% (P<0,05) respectively, higher than in the control group. The same pattern is shown in the amount of visceral fat. The amount of visceral fat in the II and III groups are 46.15% (P<0.01) and 30.77% (P<0.05) individually, higher than group I indicators. The slaughter indicators of the animals in the experimental groups were also significantly higher than in the control group. The slaughter indicators of the II and III animal groups are 17.21% (P<0.01) and 7.82% (P<0.05) respectively, analogously higher than the indicators of the control group. The yield of meat in experimental groups is 15.32% (P<0.05) and 10.48% (P<0.05) respectively, higher than that of group I.

Proposal of an empirical model with flow velocity to improve time-weighted average concentration estimates from the Polar Organic Chemical Integrative Samplers
Authors: Mazzella Nicolas , Bernard Marion , Guibal Robin , Boutry Sebastien , Lissalde Sophie , Guibaud Gilles
Published: July 2023

It is now widely recognized that the sampling rate of Polar Organic Chemical Integrative Samplers (POCIS) is significantly affected by flow velocity, which can cause a consequent bias when determining time-weighted average concentrations (TWAC). Besides, in previous works, we observed the desorption of a compound such as deisopropylatrazine (DIA) over time when added to the receiving phase of a POCIS. In particular, it was found in situ that its desorption rate was also influenced by flow velocity, in an agitated water environment. In the method presented here, we calibrated 30 pesticides under controlled laboratory conditions, varying the flow velocity over four levels. At the same time, we studied the desorption rate of DIA-d5 (a deuterated form of DIA) over time. The information provided by the accumulation kinetics of the compounds of interest on the one hand, and by the elimination of DIA-d5 on the other hand, was processed using an empirical model based on a power law involving flow velocity. With this type of model, it appeared possible to take into account the effect of this crucial factor on exchange kinetics, and then to obtain more accurate TWACs, with reduced bias and acceptable dispersion of the results.

In this study, composite layer double hydroxide-metal oxide catalysts (Ni/Al-TiO2 and Ni/Al-ZnO) were successfully prepared and utilized for the oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene. The catalysts were characterized using XRD, FTIR, and SEM-EDS analysis. The diffraction patterns confirmed the successful synthesis of the composite materials, while the FTIR spectra exhibited absorption bands at specific wavenumbers 3480 cm-1, 1630 cm-1, 1376 cm-1, 830 cm-1, 775 cm-1, and 683 cm-1. The surface morphology of the catalysts showed variations, with Ni/Al-LDH having a smooth particle surface and long particle shape, while Ni/Al-ZnO and Ni/Al-TiO2 formed grain-like or aggregated structures. EDS analysis confirmed the presence of Ni/Al, Ti, and Zn elements in the composites, with Ti and Zn accounting for 29.3% and 10.7% of the composite mass, respectively. The optimized reaction conditions included a reaction time of 40 minutes, catalyst dosage of 0.25 g, temperature of 50°C, and the use of n-hexane as the solvent. The catalysts demonstrated a heterogeneous nature and proved to be reusable, as the conversion of dibenzothiophene remained above 90% even after three catalytic reactions, with Ni/Al-TiO2 and Ni/Al-ZnO composites maintaining conversion rates of 99.36% and 99.32%, respectively.

The research questions aimed to identify and rank the most significant barriers to recycling and understand the causal relationships between them. The study found that limited access to recycling facilities and services and lack of motivation or incentive to recycle were the most significant causes of household waste recycling barriers in Seremban. Onthe other hand, lack of motivation or incentive to recycle and negative attitudes towards recycling, were identified as the most significant effects. The study’s findings have theoretical implications for waste management and sustainable development and offer practical implications for policymakers and waste management practitioners in developing effective waste management strategies and policies that can address these barriers. Furthermore, the study’s insights into the most significant barriers to household waste recycling can inform the design of recycling campaigns and educational programs to increase awareness and promote household waste recycling in Seremban. Overall, this study provides a valuable contribution to the field of waste management and sustainable development and offers insights into the challenges of promoting household waste recycling in urban areas.
Preparation of Al2O3 /PVA Nanocomposite Thin Films by a Plasma Jet Method
Authors: Kadhem Saba Jawad
Published: July 2023

Alumina thin films have significant applications in the areas of optoelectronics, optics, electrical insulators, sensors and tribology. The novel aspect of this work is that the homogeneous alumina thin films were prepared in several stages to generate a plasma jet. In this paper, aluminium nanoparticles suspended in vinyl alcohol were prepared using exploding wire plasma. TEM analysis was used to determine the size and shape of particles in aluminium and vinyl alcohol suspensions; the TEM images showed that the particle size is 17.2 nm. Aluminium/poly vinyl alcohol (Al/PVA) thin films were prepared using this suspension on quartz substrate by plasma jet technique at room temperature with an argon gas flow rate of 1 L/min. The Al/PVA thin films were thermally converted to alumina films, where they were annealed at different temperatures (700, 800, or 900°C). X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques were used to characterise these thin films before and after annealing process. The diffraction patterns of the prepared thin films before subjecting them to the annealing process indicated the presence of peaks belonging to aluminium and PVA; however, the diffraction patterns and FTIR spectra obtained for these films after the annealing process showed peaks indicating the formation of alumina films of different phases. AFM and SEM investigations proved that the formed particles for all prepared films before and after the annealing process were similar in size and almost spherical; the diameter of the particles was on the order of a few nanometres. To control the properties of prepared thin films, the plasma which was used to produce thin films is diagnosed spectrophotometrically. The generated plasma was diagnosed using optical emission spectroscopy to estimate the electron temperature Te; the electron temperature was 1.925 eV.

Let H= (T,S), be a finite simple graph, T(H)= T and S(H)= S, respectively, are the sets of vertices and edges on H. Let σ:T∪S→1,2,· · · ,k, be a total k-labeling on H and wσ(x), be a weight of x∈T while using σ labeling, which is evaluated based on the total number of all vertices labels in the neighborhood x and its incident edges. If every x∈T has a different weight, then σ is a distance vertex irregular total k-labeling (DVITL). Total distance vertex irregularity strength of H (tdis(H) is defined as the least k for which H has a DVITL. Our research investigates the DVITL of the path (Pr) and cycle (Cr) graphs. We establish a lower bound and then calculate the precise value of tdis(Pr) and tdis(Cr).

Published: July 2023

This paper presents an analysis of the development of literature on community empowerment through zakat and its relation to social change. A total of 29 documents published between 2016 and 2023 were analyzed using a narrative review approach and bibliometric analysis with the assistance of the RStudio application. Concept mapping and visualization of publications were conducted to identify elements of knowledge, dynamics, relationships, and interactions among publications. The analysis results show that research during the 2016-2023 period generally focuses on the economic aspect of zakat in social change. However, further research is needed to cover other dimensions of social change, such as politics, culture, technology, and environment. Consequently, the study of the impact of zakat on social change needs to be expanded to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the role of zakat in promoting inclusive and sustainable social change within society.

Published: July 2023

Critical thinking skills are essential skills of the 21st century which are very important for students to master. Unfortunately, some research results show students' low critical thinking skills. One important component that supports the teaching of critical thinking for students is learning tools. The results of the preliminary study show the lack of learning tools that are oriented towards students' scientific activities so that it is suspected to be the cause of students' low critical thinking skills. This study aims to evaluate the validity of inquiry-based biology learning tools that can explicitly be used to teach critical thinking skills. This research is descriptive-evaluative research because it only evaluates the results of expert judgment on the validity of the developed learning tools. Two validators with professor qualifications were involved in this study to evaluate the validity of the product using the validation sheet instrument. The results showed that the learning tools developed in the form of lesson plans, learning materials, student worksheets, and critical thinking ability tests were generally stated to be valid (score = 3.65) and reliable (score = 0.93) used to teach students' critical thinking skills in system teaching materials Respiratory. Further research related to the practicality test and the effectiveness of the resulting device needs to be carried out in further research

Published: July 2023

The study was conducted to assess consumer perception and attitude towards grasshopper as an alternative source of protein in Katsina State Nigeria. A pilot study was conducted using fifty questionnaires covering the three senatorial zones to ensure clarity and ease of understanding of the questionnaire by the respondents. All lapses observed were addressed before the production of the final questionnaire. The Cronbach’s alpha based on standardized items used for the pilot testing was found to be 0.887. A random sampling procedure was used to select a total of 600 respondents from the three senatorial zones in the state. Data were collected with the aid of questionnaires to obtain information on consumer’s perception on grasshopper consumption in relation to economy, nutrition, health and environmental factors. The data obtained was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings show 87.9 % of the respondents consume grasshopper, they also consider it a suitable diet for humans (72.2%) with no substantial risk to human health (66.9%). The study concludes that insect consumption is a common practice in Katsina State and therefore recommends public awareness creation and public education on the health and nutritional benefits of grasshoppers and other edible insects to mankind and the establishment of insect farming training centres across the state. It was also recommended that the concentrations of heavy metals and other possible contaminants that can be obtained from the environment should be regularly assessed in order to ensure that they are within the acceptable limits.

Authors: Gabriel Gbiel Benarkuu  , Enock Katere
Published: July 2023

The current study seeks to ascertain how dynamic team-building interventions can improve internal communication in the hospitality industry. The study surveyed 135 respondents from 15 hospitality enterprises in Sunyani Municipality, Ghana, using a communication assessment instrument. The mean organization diagnosis results suggest that the studied organizations' internal communication channels are riddled with delayed and late information delivery, vocally hostile behavior, and a culture of secrecy. As a result, with the study organizations, a dynamic team-building intervention was devised and implemented. The researchers compared the pre-team-building intervention assessment results with the post-team-building intervention assessment results to determine how they changed after the intervention. The data show that the assessment variables recorded an average mean transformation score of 1.8, which is closer to the ideal score of one (1) than the average mean assessment score of 2.4 prior to the team-building intervention. The computational results show that the dynamic team-building interventions were effective in bringing the mean value closer to the ideal score of one (1). Again, the Cohen's d test analysis result of 3.8 demonstrates that the transformation that happened as a result of the dynamic team-building intervention had a significant impact size. Based on the findings, options for dynamic team-building interventions to improve the efficacy of teams in the hotel industry are provided.

This article is a component of a more extensive investigation into the value of nursing and includes literature search results from online resources. Understanding numerous leadership theories, including authentic, servant, and congruent leadership, is necessary to comprehend values-based leadership in nursing. The terms values-based, authentic, servant and congruent leadership were used to search electronic databases for relevant studies. The available research focuses on certain viewpoints within the three primary leadership philosophies that fall under the values-based leadership umbrella: authentic, servant, and congruent leadership. Only a small body of research demonstrates that values-based leadership can foster professional collaboration, improve nurse trust and voice, and promote staff wellbeing, empowerment, work satisfaction, patient-focused results, and excellent care. There needs to be more empirical literature on values-based leadership in nursing. Evidence reveals a connection between values-based leadership theories, fundamental nursing principles, and authentic, servant, and congruent leadership. Nurse managers ought to be aware of the possible advantages of a values-based leadership strategy for staff well-being increased professional collaboration and the nurses' voice, improved insight into clinical leadership qualities, and improvements in the caliber of patient care. The results emphasize how crucial it is to comprehend values, their significance in nursing, and how values are created. The value of nursing is said to be affected by cultural change, globalization, technological improvement, and medical progress. These elements are essential to creating a better organized and scientific understanding of nursing, improving patient care within a supportive and harmonious organization, and increasing nurses' job satisfaction and retention. The results of this analysis have consequences for those who develop policies about recruiting, retention, and estimating the overall worth of nursing.

Scavengers work every day by interacting with waste in landfill making them a group with a high risk of contracting diseases due to unhealthy working conditions and exposure to air pollutant gases, one of which is hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S). H2S gas can cause respiratory problems for scavengers such as coughing, flu, fever, headache, shortness of breath, sore throat, and sore nose. This study aims to analyze the environmental health risks analysis of hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) exposure in Jabon Sidoarjo landfill scavengers. This research is a descriptive study with cross sectional design. The approach used is Environmental Health Risk Analysis. Measurement of H2S gas concentration was carried out in the scavenger work area. The research respondents were 46 scavengers who worked in old landfill. Data analysis using univariate analysis and risk analysis. The results for the concentration of H2S in the scavenger work area point 1 and point 2 were 0.00242 ppm and 0.00081 ppm. Analysis of the risk quotient (RQ) in real time, the next 10 years, and in real life, the result is 0.13; 0.25; 0.37. The results showed that the measurement of H2S gas concentrations in the scavenger work area was still below the provincial government's environmental quality standards. Risk quotient analysis (RQ) shows results below 1. This shows that scavengers are still safe from non-carcinogenic risks or the H2S gas produced is not at risk of causing health problems.

Abstract. In Jewish society, a widow may experience a negative social stigma that puts her in a disadvantaged position. This negative stigma certainly confirms that a widow needs protection. The purpose of this paper was to outline the position of widows in the eyes of both Torah and Ancient Near Eastern law. To that purpose, the author conducted a literature review, which includes Old Testament texts as well as extra-biblical texts related to the position of widows. This study showed that widows, in both the Torah and the laws of the Ancient Near East, are entitled to protection. The difference between the two laws is that in the Torah the protection of widows is theologically reflected as initiated and guaranteed by God.Abstrak. Dalam masyarakat Yahudi, seorang janda dapat mengalami stigma sosial negatif yang memojokkan posisinya. Stigma negatif tersebut tentunya menegaskan bahwa seorang janda membutuhkan perlindungan. Tujuan dari tulisan ini adalah untuk menguraikan kedudukan janda di mata hukum Taurat maupun hukum di Timur Dekat Kuno. Untuk itu, penulis akan melakukan kajian literatur, yang meliputi teks-teks Perjanjian Lama maupun teks-teks ekstra biblika terkait kedudukan janda. Hasil dari kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa janda, baik dalam hukum Taurat maupun hukum-hukum di Timur Dekat Kuno, wajib mendapatkan perlindungan. Yang membedakan di antara kedua hukum tersebut adalah bahwa dalam hukum Taurat perlindungan terhadap janda direfleksikan secara teologis sebagai diinisiasi dan dijamin oleh Tuhan.
