Published: August 2023

In this study, chlorinated cyclic hydrocarbon pesticides were extracted from water using a solvent mixture (hexane: dichloromethane), and their content was determined by GC-MS equipped with electron ionization (EI) and selected ion monitoring (SIM) methods. Additionally, the validation parameters for the method used were established. The recovery ratios of the spike levels varied between 82.7% and 95.4%. Heptachlor had the lowest recovery value, 82.7%, at a concentration of 1.480 µg/L, while Aldrin had the highest recovery value, 95.4%, at 11.200 µg/L. A satisfactory linearity was found for each pesticide at the four varied spike levels during the extraction procedure. Trans-Heptachlor > Heptachlor > trans-Chlordane > cis-Chlordane was the order in which the recovery efficiency of pesticides containing chlorine cyclo rings declined. Trans-Chlordane > trans-Heptachlor >Endosulfan > Dieldrin > Heptachlor > Aldrin > cis-Chlordane was followed by a decline in the relevant value of pesticides having two or more cyclic rings for the seven pesticides that made up the entire analysis period in this experiment a sufficient differentiation was made in around 18 minutes.

Women and exile narratives in Maryse Condé and Gisèle Pineau's Francophone Caribbean novels
Authors: Hayuningsih Arifah Arum Candra
Published: August 2023

One of the most prevalent issues in francophone literature is exile and its impact on the postcolonial identity formation of French colonised society. However, there is limited space for the voices of Francophone women writers to speak about their exile. This article draws on the autobiographical novels by Caribbean Francophone women writers Maryse Condé and Gisèle Pineau. The research method used is comparative cultural studies to look at the tension between the discourse of the centre and the periphery in postcolonial literature. This article shows that both writers have different exile experiences but still centre on the clash of postcolonial identities between the people of the former colonies and the colonial government. Both novels also represent the realities of francophone societies that continue to be confronted with questions of cultural roots, homeland, and cultural roots that gradually disappear under colonialism.Keywords: Caribbean, exil, female, francophone
Serial verb constructions in Papuan Malay
Authors: Sawaki Yusuf
Published: August 2023

Serial verb constructions are grammatical constructions that are still debatable by linguists from different schools of theories because of whether they are considered as simple or complex predicates in terms of their various structures found in world’s languages. Creol languages such as Papuan Malay has serial verb constructions interested for further studies because there are lacks of similar studies done in the language. This research describes serial verb constructions in Papuan Malay. Its focus is to investigate syntactic and semantic structures of serial verb constructions. In the research, the descriptive linguistic method is used and its approach is the typological analysis where it focuses on analyzing particular linguistic features, i.e. serial verb constructions. The elicitation technique is used to collect data and it is also beneficial to supplement the syntagmatic analysis when the data is analysed in linear/horizontal order to easily look for the syntactic structure, argument structure, and argument sharing of serial verb constructions. The results show that serial verb constructions in Papuan Malay has two types, i.e. Dependent and Co-dependent serializations. Both types are categorized based on their argument structure and argument sharing properties, as well as their semantic expressions. Further, they are categorized as serial verb constructions by the definition of sequence of events within a monoclausality as the main feature of serial verb constructions in Papuan Malay. This paper gives a contribution to the theory of syntax and typology about the structural and semantic expressions of the serial verb constructions by reflecting the serial verb constructions in Papuan Malay.Keywords: Papuan Malay, Serial verb constructions, dependent serialization, co-dependent serialization, monoclausality

Authors: Nakrowi Zain Syaifudin , Ansori Dadang S. , Mulyati Yeti , Setyaningsih Yuliana
Published: August 2023

To comprehensively examine the quality of argumentative writing, it is important to integrate the aspects of structure and substance. This study seeks to foreground the application of Intellectual Standards (IS) as a core component of the argumentative writing process. The research aims to determine the quality of argumentation in terms of structure using the TAP Toulmin concept and substance using IS. The research participants were 80 high school students in Central Java, Indonesia. A mixed method approach with an exploratory sequential QUAL-quan design is adopted. The results show that the quality of the arguments in terms of structure and substance is in the low category. Structurally, 97.5% of students' written arguments ranged from 1.1 to 2.0 on a scale of 0.0-5.0. In substance, 81.25% of students' argumentation ability scores are in the range of 04.9 - 09.6 on a scale of 0.00-24.00. In addition, the findings show that the completeness of the structure influences the substance score. Furthermore, the results of this study can be used as a reference for teachers in teaching argument texts. Elements of warrant, backing, modal qualifier, and rebuttal must be emphasized in preparing argumentative texts.Keywords: Argumentative Texts, Structure and Substance of Arguments, Toulmin, Intellectual Standards
Exploring ‘Moana’s Achieved Identity’: A movie analysis of the main character
Authors: Tlonaen Zuvyati Aryani
Published: August 2023

Research on identity status in literary works has not been in-depth exploration. Those researches discussed the identity status in general and were still very limited in literary study. Therefore, this study explores one of the identity statuses in detail using Kroger's (2005) achieved identity characteristics consisting of three domains; the personality variable, cognitive process and interpersonal relationship. Each domain has achieved identity features. This research is a documentary. The procedures were reading the script repeatedly; identifying the main character's actions, thoughts, reflections, thoughts, feelings, and desires; coding, classifying, analyzing and interpreting the data. The results indicated that Moana's personality, cognitive process, and interpersonal relationships proved that Moana's achieved identity in the three domains is well built. She has most of the features of achieved identity. This study also proved that identity status can be explored in fictional characters. Therefore, future research can explore this identity or other identity statuses in depth. Parents or schools can use movies with characters with this identity to help children develop their identity status to the highest, achieved identity.Keywords: Achieved identity,identity status, movie
Social Presence, Negative Emotions, and Self-Protective Behavioral Intentions of Nonsmokers in Response to Secondhand Smoking in Virtual Reality: Quasi-Experimental Design
Authors: Liu Miao , Zhu Yicheng , Xu Zihan , Meng Sitong
Published: August 2023

Background

The application of virtual reality (VR) in health care has grown rapidly in China, where approximately half of the population is directly exposed to secondhand smoke (SHS). As VR headsets have become increasingly popular and short video platforms have incorporated 360° videos in China, new formats and opportunities for health campaigns about SHS have emerged.

Objective

In a simulated environment of exposure to SHS, this study aims to explore the emotional and behavioral responses to enhanced social presence brought about by VR in contrast to flat-screen videos. It also aims to examine whether and to what extent video modality (360° video vs flat-screen video) and contextual cues (high threat vs low threat) influence psychometric and intentional variables among viewers.

Methods

A total of 245 undergraduate and graduate students who were nonsmokers and from a large university in China participated in this study between October 2020 and January 2021. This study created 4 different versions of a SHS experience in a café with a 2 (360° video on a head-mounted display vs flat-screen display) × 2 (high threat vs low threat) experimental design. It developed and tested a path model examining the effects of experience modality and threat levels on social presence, emotions (anger and disgust), and eventually behavioral intentions (staying away and asking for help).

Results

We found that both video modality (P<.001) and threat level (P=.005) significantly influenced social presence, whereas the interaction of video modality and threat level did not have a statistically significant effect on social presence (P=.55). Negative emotions mediated the relationships between social presence and SHS-related self-protective behaviors. Specifically, anger positively predicted the intention to ask smokers to stop smoking through the waitress (P<.001). Disgust and fear both positively predicted the intention to stay away from the SHS environment (P<.001 for disgust; P=.002 for fear).

Conclusions

This study explored the potential mediating mechanisms that influence individuals’ responses to the risks of SHS in public areas. The results demonstrated that social presence and negative emotions are 2 important mediators that underlie the relationship between video modality and behavioral intention regarding SHS in a VR setting. These findings suggest that an immersive environment could be a better stimulator of anti-SHS emotions and behaviors than flat-screen videos.
Implementing Clinical Information Systems in Sub-Saharan Africa: Report and Lessons Learned From the MatLook Project in Cameroon
Authors: Bediang Georges
Published: August 2023

Background

Yaoundé Central Hospital (YCH), located in the capital of Cameroon, is one of the leading referral hospitals in Cameroon. The hospital has several departments, including the Department of Gynecology-Obstetrics (hereinafter referred to as “the Maternity”). This clinical department has faced numerous problems with clinical information management, including the lack of high-quality and reliable clinical information, lack of access to this information, and poor use of this information.

Objective

We aim to improve the management of clinical information generated at the Maternity at YCH and to describe the challenges, success factors, and lessons learned during its implementation and use.

Methods

Based on an open-source hospital information system (HIS), this intervention implemented a clinical information system (CIS) at the Maternity at YCH and was carried out using the HERMES model—the first part aimed to cover outpatient consultations, billing, and cash management of the Maternity. Geneva University Hospitals supported this project, and several outcomes were measured at the end. The following outcomes were assessed: project management, technical and organizational aspects, leadership, change management, user training, and system use.

Implementation (Results)

The first part of the project was completed, and the CIS was deployed in the Maternity at YCH. The main technical activities were adapting the open-source HIS to manage outpatient consultations and develop integrated billing and cash management software. In addition to technical aspects, we implemented several other activities. They consisted of the implementation of appropriate project governance or management, improvement of the organizational processes at the Maternity, promotion of the local digital health leadership and performance of change management, and implementation of the training and support of users. Despite barriers encountered during the project, the 6-month evaluation showed that the CIS was effectively used during the first 6 months.

Conclusions

Implementation of the HIS or CIS is feasible in a resource-limited setting such as Cameroon. The CIS was implemented based on good practices at the Maternity at YCH. This project had successes but also many challenges. Beyond project management and technical and financial aspects, the other main problems of implementing health information systems or HISs in Africa lie in digital health leadership, governance, and change management. This digital health leadership, governance, and change management should prioritize data as a tool for improving productivity and managing health institutions, and promote a data culture among health professionals to support a change in mindset and the acquisition of information management skills. Moreover, in countries with a highly centralized political system like ours, a high-level strategic and political anchor for such projects is often necessary to guarantee their success.

Examining the Chinese English education “Rat Race” through the Lens of Social Darwinism
Authors: Qian Luo
Published: August 2023

“Rat Race” is the translation of the Chinese slang term “Juan”, which alludes the widespread English education anxiety in China. The term is coined against the backdrop of limited high-quality English educational resources and mirrors drastic internal competition among Chinese students. While Social Darwinism, with its principle of “natural selection and survival of the fittest”, suggests that competition is an essential factor in society and individuals are supposed to stand out from the group. Despite its drawbacks, this theory is still able to reflect China’s current English education phenomenon. This paper delves into the circumstance of “rat race” from the perspective of Social Darwinism and analyzes the effects and implications of the “rat race”. Based on the data that released by the Chinese Ministry of English education, the reality of Chinese English education “rat race” is gradually exposed. These findings echo complicated reasons and consequences of “rat race”. More specifically, this kind of competition undoubtedly unveil the impediments of English education system, economic depression and stereotyped standpoints, Some scholars studied the occasion of “rat race”, but they only unravel reasons or suggestions toward such dilemma. Thus, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive standpoint of “rat race” and explore new search ideas as well as giving policy suggestions.

Published: August 2023

This paper presents a Vehicular Child Trap Alert System to help in preventing tragic child death caused by hyperthermia / heatstroke and suffocation using detection and control system inside a hatchback car. The number of victims of heatstroke is increasing each year due to increased temperature and suffocation in the locked car. The increase in the number of victims has raised the issues of safety of the child in the car. This safety feature addresses deadly situations of children getting locked in the car. An efficient system is presented here which can monitor the presence of a child whenever he is accidently locked inside the car and can also communicate with the driver when the condition of the heatstroke arises. Initially, it sends a message to user’s registered mobile number and if no one comes and opens the car, it alerts via a phone call to the registered users. It is expected that this module could help in reducing the vehicle heatstroke cases among children that keep on increasing lately.

Published: August 2023

Abstract: The SOCs built today offer a high level of functionality, serve a variety of applications, and improve in efficiency and cost. Embedded systems also face area and power consumption constraints in addition to real-time challenges. The main objective is to design and implement a 32-bit High-performance RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) Processor architecture. The Processor is designed as an instantiation of submodules using Verilog HDL (Hardware Description Language). a 16-bit compatibility is introduced which makes use of the ISA to execute two 16bit operations at the same time and thus provides the capability to switch and execute both 32-bit and two 16-bit operations using the execution unit. The ISA is modified to meet the requirement to execute both 16-bit operation and 32-bit operations. Each of these instructions are independent of the other instruction and can be executed simultaneously. This enables the RISC based architecture to also enhance the speed of the design by a factor of 2 for 16 bit operations.

Abstract: Seeds are versatile ingredient, which can be used to enhance texture and add burst of micro nutrients. Among all known seeds, Garden cress seed (Gcs) is an unpopular and often referred as Forgotten Superfood as general public is unaware of its inexpensiveness and nutritive potential which is yet not utilised to its fullest. Gcs comes with hampered number of micronutrients, 100 gm of Gcs contain 723mg phosphorus, 377 mg calcium and 100 mg iron. This study focuses on the development of low-cost iron rich recipes using Gcs. The two recipes developed were Fruit Leather (FL) and Instant Sattu premix drink (SD). Three variants for each recipe were created, as FL1, FL2, FL3 and SD1, SD2, SD3; with different level of fortification, which was first sensory analysed, to estimate the most accepted variants. The best accepted variant FL3 and SD2 was not significant (p>0.05) different in other attributes. Nutrients like iron. protein, carbohydrate, and fibre were analysed. FL cover 11.25% DV of total iron requirement, SD comprehend 37.50%. Both the product contains beneficial amount of protein, carbohydrates and fibre, which will aid both adolescence and people of older age. The cost of the products was relatively lower than the market price, total production cost of FL was 12.5 Rs/100gm and SD cost for 18.5 Rs/100 gm. Both the products are worthwhile as they provide such vital nutrients in abundant on lower cost.

Abstract: The sewage, drainage, and chemical industries all employ centrifugal pumps, which are a typical type of pump. By adjusting the impeller exit blade width, exit diameter, and trailing edge blade angle, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) three-dimensional simulation is performed to optimise the pressure head, efficiency, and power needed of centrifugal pumps. The head of the pump is optimised in the CFD study of the impeller to enhance the capabilities of centrifugal pumps. Rotation of the impeller varies with the rotation and mass flow rate. The geometry of the centrifugal pump impeller in this project is originally built in Solid Works, and CFD analysis is then completed in Ansys CFX. In this study, the initial dimensions of the impeller were taken from the base paper. The performance of the impeller was then assessed using the parameters Head, Power imparted to water by the impeller, and Efficiency. From the analysis, it was discovered that as the number of blades on the impeller increases, the value of head and power imparted as well as the efficiency of the impeller increases. After that, analysis was conducted while maintaining a constant number of blades at various impeller RPMs, and the results showed

Published: August 2023

Abstract. An extensive study is performed on the behavior of raft foundation considering soil structure interaction. The foundation is modelled using SAFE2016 software considering thick plate. A parametric study is carried out on raft foundation using finite element method considering static load condition. Several parameters, such as thickness of raft, modulus of subgrade reaction, load pattern, soil condition affect the soil-raft-structure response. The study revealed the analysis of the structure on raft foundation system considering the raft and soil properties. Displacement of raft foundation is decreased as increased in raft thickness. However, displacement of raft foundation is increased as decreased in subgrade modulus. Maximum soil pressure is decreased with increase in raft thickness. Soil pressure is increased with the increase of subgrade modulus. Punching shear ratio for raft foundation is decreased as increased in raft thickness. Punching shear ratio for raft foundation is decreased slightly as increase in subgrade modulus. Thickness of raft is important for designing raft foundation. The soil conditions are affecting the raft characteristics like deflection, soil pressure, punching shear. Increase of edge distances from the center of column decreases the upward soil pressure intensity.

The dramatic rise in substance-use disorder prevalence across North America has become an urgent and escalating health issue in need of rapid intervention. In 2012, Statistics Canada conducted a study concluding that 6 million Canadians met the criteria for substance-use disorder, but even this value is thought to be an underestimate (1). It is likely this statistic has increased greatly since 2012 when considering the surging overdose crisis and significant increase in opioid-use, as well as opioid-related deaths in the past three years (2). In 2017, the cost of substance use was calculated to be $46 billion, a 5.4% increase since 2015, which factored for associated healthcare, lost productivity, criminal justice, and other direct costs (3). Substance use and addictions in Canada is therefore multifactorial, involving social, health, and economic implications.

This article delves into the regulation of municipal solid waste management (MSW) in Indonesia, viewed from the concepts of smart city and circular economy. The legal politics of Law Number 18 of 2008 on Waste Management has been restricted to the concept of 3Rs: reduce, reuse, and recycle. The idea of a circular economy refers to the principle of 10 Rs, consisting of refuse, rethink, reduce, reuse, repair, refurbish, remanufacture, repurpose, recycle, and recover. The concept of circular economy is believed to be essential to achieving the decarbonization goals mandated by the Paris Agreement. With a socio-legal approach, this research examines to what extent Waste Management Law can serve as the basis for implementing a circular economy in municipal areas. This research reveals that the concept of a circular economy has yet to be applied to manage waste in a municipal scope. Circular economy-based smart cities in MSW management can only be achieved through adequate facilities and changes in people’s behaviour. However, it is still questionable whether the Municipal Government is fully obliged to manage household waste because the Waste Management Law is silent on this matter but clearly states the community’s obligation to reduce and handle household waste as a waste producer. The division of waste-handling tasks also exacerbates this in several agencies, which, in practice, creates confusion for society. Hence, legal reforms are needed to reconcile the conflicting problems.
