Educational Process as Something Dynamic
Authors: Tomé José Manuel Salum
Published: June 2023

If we conceive the educational process as something dynamic, which basically combines what is given with what is emerging, we will understand that there are protagonists in it who have a fundamental role in this process, or perhaps we should say that, in this process, each and every one of the agents has a leading role. So, talking about curriculum implies that the subject can be approached from different perspectives, some more legitimate than others, some broader than others and, what is even more notorious, some more dynamic than others. It is in these differences where the essence of the educational process is conjugated, namely, in the conception of the curriculum, so it is worth asking: What are the educational units understanding by "development of their own curricular projects"? What are they actually doing? What curricular decisions do they make? Not only these questions arise, but many more, not to mention that it is also legitimate to doubt the capacity and preparation of teachers and educational units to undertake a process of conscious and responsible construction of an effective curriculum. It is interesting to approach the subject critically, not to reconsider the theoretical aspects, in which we find a wide range of postulates, but rather to revitalize the pedagogical practice in the place where it actually occurs, the classroom, and from there to enable discussion. and analysis of the problem, assuming that a paradigm change is urgent at all levels, otherwise, the entire society will suffer even more marked dehumanization. There are many challenges and requirements that fall on the educational task, and there are many who express their opinion, judge and dare to formulate lapidary sentences on the subject of education, with no more foundation than that allowed by a fragmented look at reality, therefore Therefore, a deeper look can shed light on why it has not yet been possible to reach a more optimal level in the quality indices, nor has equity been achieved, and what is worse, it seems that all that has been said is slipping away. through the window of the classrooms to end up in the realm of abstraction, from which it will not be possible to bring what is real and everyday. Thus, this work will also be a proposal for educational agents, a proposal that should not be kept together with others, but rather, hand in hand with the contingent, could give way to a better understanding of the problem.
Place-making as an attentive urban presence
Authors: Frąckowiak Maciej
Published: June 2023

The article critically discusses place-making, which is currently gaining attention in various disciplines of science and practice. Place-making is a concept with great potential to rebuild a multidisciplinary language to better identify and respond to the challenges of sustainable urbanisation. After briefly discussing the shift that the concept is provoking in the social sciences, about design, as well as politics and activism, the author points out the risks inherent in it and shows how they can be transcended by inscribing in place-making senses relating to, among other things, the multi-species urban community, hybrid spaces, verticality and transborderity of the contemporary city. The conclusion is a manifesto that points to place-making as an everyday attitude, a common concern for cities as shared space.

Published: June 2023

The fungal community associated with marine crabs is poorly known, except for the fungi causing diseases of marine animals of economic value. In this study we examined the diversity of fungi cultured from carapace and gut of the marine crab Portunus sanguinolentus, and the identification was based on nucleotide BLAST search results of the internal transcribed spacers of rDNA (ITS). A total of 256 fungal isolates representing 23 species were cultured from seven individuals of P. sanguinolentus including two unidentified species. The majority of the species belong to the Ascomycota, while three species of the Basidiomycota were isolated from the gut. Overall, Candida tropicalis (45.70 %, percentage occurrence), Apiotrichum lignicola (8.98 %) and Rhodotorula sp. (8.20 %) were the dominant fungi on the crab. The most dominant fungi on the carapace were C. tropicalis (66.95 %), Emericellopsis maritima (8.47 %), A. lignicola and Purpureocillium lilacinum (both 4.24 %). In the gut, C. tropicalis (27.54 %), A. lignicola (16.67 %), Rhodotorula sp. (15.22 %) and Fusarium solani (14.49 %) were dominant. The fungal diversity in the gut of P. sanguinolentus was higher than on the carapace according to the diversity indices. Although some of the isolated fungi were reported to be pathogenic, none were reported as pathogens of crabs, and no disease symptoms were noticed from the crab samples.
Virtual Corporate Seat: A Case for Reform?
Authors: Mikalonienė Lina
Published: June 2023

685This article argues that the general location of the registered office of a company without a physical business address in a Member State, accompanied by a digital business address, should qualify a corporate seat as “virtual”. Moreover, the concept of the virtual corporate seat should essentially be seen as a modernized version of the model developed under the substantive company law of some Member States when two separate concepts – the general location of the company’s registered office in that Member State and the domestic business address – are used to determine a fully fledged notion of the corporate seat. The article further addresses the key functions that the virtual corporate seat should perform on an EU-wide, cross-border basis that are typically delivered by the traditional (physical) registered office. It also considers the major challenges that lie ahead of the innovative concept of the virtual corporate seat, chief among which is ensuring proper communication with the company while maintaining a virtual corporate seat.686
Sustainability‐Related Disclosures in Financial Services and Dialogue Policies in Listed Companies
Authors: Della Tommasina Luca
Published: June 2023

782The article analyzes the impact of the Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 on the dialogue policies in listed companies. Starting from the new obligations of sustainability‐related disclosure in the financial services sector, the essay envisages governance solutions which are able to grant interim information flows between the board of directors and the institutional investors about sustainability performances, also in light of the recent Directive (EU) 2022/2464. The essay deals more specifically with the following topics: a) the division of power between directors and supervisory board, and then the directors who are entitled to intervene in the hypothesized ESG-dialogues; b) the modality of the dialogue, if one-way or two-way, and the impact that such ESG-dialogues have on the company’s governance, especially on the relationship between the directors and the supervisory board; c) the possibility of selecting shareholders who are entitled to attend the meeting; d) the relation between the board of directors and the general meeting of shareholders; e) the possibility of involving investors who are not shareholders, particularly a bidder, in ESG-dialogues with institutional investors.783
Harmonising Shareholder Protection Laws for Related Party Transactions
Authors: Florstedt Tim
Published: June 2023

701
Related party transactions have gained significant importance in Europe as a result of the reformed Shareholders’ Rights Directive (SRD). Previously, only a few Member States had created regulatory regimes governing such transactions, yet as of the reform of 2019, detailed procedural and disclosure requirements are compulsory in the European Union today. The Directive’s specifications in Article 9 c grant national legislators substantial discretion to implement new safeguards into national law. This article compares the implementations chosen by Member States and assesses the degree of harmonisation that countries have achieved. It advocates for a more balanced approach and increased coordination with accounting laws. Furthermore, it argues that the new legal regime should be regarded as a significant part of European Corporate Group Law.

New results of uncertain integrals and applications
Authors: Shao Zehui , Kosari Saeed , Yadollahzadeh Milad , Beikaee Seyed Abdollah
Published: June 2023

Based on the uncertainty theory, Liu [B. Liu,
Some research problems in uncertainty theory,
J. Uncertain Syst. 3 2009, 1, 3–10]
introduced an uncertain integral for applying uncertain differential equation,
finance, control, filtering and dynamical systems. Since uncertain integrals are the important content of
uncertainty theory, this paper explores an approach of the relationship
between uncertain integrals by the well-known Chebyshev-type inequality.
Also, we propose the concept of an uncertain fractional integral which is generalized version of an uncertain integral. The definition of a strong comonotonic uncertain
process and some new properties of the uncertain integral were presented in [C. You and N. Xiang,
Some properties of uncertain integral,
Iran. J. Fuzzy Syst. 15 2018, 2, 133–142]. Based on the strong
comonotonic uncertain process, as an application, we provide Chebyshev’s
inequality for a fractional uncertain integral and an uncertain integral.

Authors: Hörner Sarah Janice , Couturier Nathalie , Hafner Mathias , Rudolf Rüdiger
Published: June 2023

Neuromuscular cell culture models are used to investigate synapse formation and function, as well as mechanisms of de-and regeneration in neuromuscular diseases. Recent developments including 3D culture technique and hiPSC technology have propelled their ability to complement insights from in vivo models. However, most cultures have not considered Schwann cells, the glial part of NMJs. In the following, a brief overview of different types of neuromuscular cocultures is provided alongside examples for studies that included Schwann cells. From these, findings concerning the effects of Schwann cells on those cultures are summarized and future lines of research are proposed.

§ 44 WpHG als Strafe im Sinne der Verfassung – Grenzen privatrechtlicher Normdurchsetzung
Authors: Kochendörfer Luca
Published: June 2023

316
Verstöße gegen die kapitalmarktrechtliche Beteiligungspublizität (§§ 33–47 WpHG) führen gemäß § 44 WpHG zu einem vorübergehenden Verlust sämtlicher Aktionärsrechte. Unter knappem Verweis auf den pönalen Charakter dieser Rechtsfolge begründet die herrschende Meinung von Verfassungs wegen einen – ungeschriebenen – Verschuldensvorbehalt. Weitere Implikationen eines solchen Strafcharakters, namentlich die Anwendung des Gesetzlichkeitsprinzips (Art. 103 Abs. 2 GG) und der Unschuldsvermutung, werden hingegen abgelehnt oder gar nicht thematisiert. Die reich317haltige, in sich zum Teil dissonante Verfassungsrechtsprechung wird dabei nur eklektisch ausgewertet. Der status quo ist sowohl in Begründungstiefe als auch Ergebnis defizitär. Angesichts der erheblichen Auswirkungen für die gesamte Beteiligungspublizität bedarf es einer eingehenderen Analyse der verfassungsrechtlichen Vorgaben, namentlich der Frage, ob und wenn ja wann Rechtsfolgen auf dem Feld des Privatrechts Strafcharakter im Sinne des Grundgesetzes aufweisen. Auf die Sanktion des Rechtsverlusts in § 44 WpHG gewendet kann danach der schon bisher überwiegend geforderte Verschuldensvorbehalt argumentativ untermauert werden. Die Außerachtlassung des Gesetzlichkeitsprinzips und der Unschuldsvermutung sind jedoch vor dem Hintergrund des einheitlichen, auch von der (jüngeren) Rechtsprechung favorisierten Strafbegriffs nicht zu halten. Den angestellten Überlegungen kommt über die kapitalmarktrechtliche Frage hinaus Bedeutung zu, bildet die Sanktion des Rechtsverlusts in § 44 WpHG doch ein Musterbeispiel für den vieldiskutierten Einsatz privatrechtlicher Normen zur Durchsetzung öffentlicher Interessen („private enforcement“). Die Diskussion präzisiert insofern die bisher zu wenig behandelten verfassungsrechtlichen Grenzen des Funktionalisierungsdiskurses.
Specific features of electromagnetic waves in degenerate two stream electron-ion plasma: self-induced magnetic field
Authors: Rozina Ch. , Pervaiz Maryam , Iqbal Zafar , Nadeem Nourina
Published: June 2023

Generation and amplification of magnetic fields is a subject of interest to both laboratory and astrophysical plasmas. The counter-streaming instability or Weibel instability is a mechanism responsible for self-generating magnetic fields in plasmas. In this paper, we investigate that the non-stationary ponderomotive force of a large amplitude electromagnetic wave (EMWs) propagating through dense two stream quantum electron ion plasma, may lead to the generation of d.c. magnetic fields. It is shown that degeneracy parameters, specifically the exchange correlation potential and Fermi pressure can reduce/control the self-induced magnetic field. Next the linear propagation of EMWs through plasma under consideration has also been considered in the presence of exchange correlation potential along with other quantum effects. Linear dispersion relation, the instability conditions and growth rate have been derived. It is found that the degeneracy parameters stabilize the propagation of instability and lead to reduction of the exponentially growing magnetic field. Threshold scale length of EMWs is also obtained for the stable propagation. The present result may be account helpful to understand the seed magnetic fields in dense plasmas.
Selective oxidation of benzene to phenol in the liquid phase over copper-substituted LaFeO3 perovskite oxide as catalyst
Authors: Mistri Rajib
Published: June 2023

Selective oxidation of benzene to phenol is done in the liquid phase over copper-substituted LaFeO3 perovskite oxides as catalyst using H2O2 as oxidant under mild reaction conditions. Among the different copper-substituted perovskite catalysts synthesized by a novel solution combustion method, the LaFe0.90Cu0.10O3 catalyst showed highest activity (∼56 % with 100 % selectivity of phenol) and also gives better activity than the corresponding catalyst made via incipient wetness impregnation of 10 at % Cu over combustion-synthesized LaFeO3. XRD analysis revealed formation of the perovskite phase as the predominant one. The greater activity of the combustion-made catalyst has been attributed to the occurrence of a peculiar poorly-defined structure having substitutional copper ion sites on top of the LaFeO3 particle as observed in HRTEM analysis. Much less occurrence of this phase in the impregnated catalyst, where copper is primarily present as dispersed CuO crystallites, explains its comparatively lower activity in the oxidation reaction. The effect of catalyst recycling shows negligible change of activity for the combustion-made catalyst whereas the analogous impregnated catalyst shows considerable decrease in activity in recycling. This explained to be due to the essentially intact poorly-defined structure in the former and leaching of the finely dispersed CuO crystallites from the latter catalyst during cycling.
LIGAÇÕES ENTRE GENÉTICA, GEOMETRIAS E PROBABILIDADE

Published: June 2023

RESUMO

A Genética é uma ciência que se dedica ao estudo da hereditariedade, baseada muitas vezes nas teorias da Probabilidade. Nesse ramo da Biologia, os fenômenos envolvem eventos aleatórios, onde ocorre o encontro de gametas masculinos e femininos com os genes da fecundação. A Geometria, desde a Grécia antiga, dedica-se ao estudo de figuras planas ou espaciais e suas propriedades. Descartes o criador da Geometria Analítica no plano, conseguiu unir a Álgebra com a Geometria, através da criação do Plano Cartesiano. O presente artigo objetiva demonstrar que ciências como Genética, Probabilidades, Geometria Plana e Geometria Analítica podem se aliar na busca pelo aprofundamento do conhecimento humano e evidenciar que nesses tempos onde a tecnologia avança tão rapidamente, torna-se inevitável admitir, de forma inequívoca, a indivisibilidade do conhecimento humano.

O objetivo deste artigo é aplicar metodologias de mineração de dados, utilizando bases de dados da MLB de 1871 a 2019, para entender quais são as estatísticas relevantes dentro do esporte e como elas se comportam ao longo do tempo. Neste artigo foram testados os modelos utilizados pelo Oakland Athletics, primeiro clube da MLB a utilizar mineração de dados para aumentar a competitividade, movimento conhecido como Moneyball. Modelos de regressão foram utilizados para determinar a importâncias de novas estatísticas com o On Base Percentage (OBP) e o On Base Plus Slugging (OPS).
ANÁLISE DA INFLUÊNCIA DA PROFUNDIDADE DE CORTE NA FORMAÇÃO DE DIFERENTES TIPOS DE CAVACO EM AÇO COM BAIXO TEOR DE CARBONO EM TORNEAMENTO EXTERNO
Authors: Bentes Flavio Maldonado , Da Costa Endrel De Oliveira
Published: June 2023

Usinagem é um método de fabricação de que consiste na remoção de material da matéria-prima através do corte. O torneamento é uma técnica de usinagem que utiliza uma maquina-ferramenta chamada torno, que pode ser convencional ou utilizar comando numérico computadorizado (CNC). A peca é fixada na placa do torno (cabeçote fixo) que por sua vez aciona um movimento de rotação onde a ferramenta de corte fixada no castelo ou magazine dá forma ao material utilizando o movimento longitudinal e transversal atacando a peça em rotação. Esse material removido é denominado cavaco. Em materiais com baixo teor de carbono e alta ductilidade geralmente trazem uma dificuldade para o controle do cavaco por conta dessa maior área de deformação plástica que esse tipo de material apresenta, logo o cavaco sofre uma tendência a não romper. Este estudo busca entender como mantendo os parâmetros padronizados e utilizando ferramentas ISO, como a profundidade de corte pode influenciar na forma desse resíduo no aço SAE 1020 (0,2% de carbono), já que alguns tipos de cavaco podem trazer riscos tanto para operação em si e o principal a ser observado, o risco humano envolvido nesse processo. A metodologia utilizada inicia-se com uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre o tema, abordando os principais conceitos do método de fabricação de torneamento, em seguida são apresentados registros e coletas de dados de um procedimento experimental realizado em campo, buscando entender de forma prática esse fenômeno.
MÉTODO DE LIE PARA EQUAÇÕES DIFERENCIAIS PARCIAIS DE SEGUNDA ORDEM
Authors: Filho Nilo Pinto Da Silva , Nunez Emílio , Martins Caubi Blanck
Published: June 2023

RESUMO

            Este trabalho apresenta uma solução heurística para equações diferenciais parciais de segunda ordem. Com esta finalidade desenvolvemos um algoritmo para se determinar as simetrias infinitesimais de Lie, onde seus infinitésimos xi(x,y) e h(x,y)  são tratados, supostamente, como sendo funções polinomiais de segundo grau. A determinação das funções infinitesimais se faz necessário para a determinação da equação característica da equação diferencial inicial. O interesse do processo então se foca na determinação dos coeficientes polinomiais. Uma vez determinadas as simetrias, substituímos na equação característica e integramos para obter a solução por quadratura. Para esse processo utilizamos a condição de invariância, da função resposta, para a transformação de Lie. Fixados os infinitésimos, construímos geradores de simetria e mostramos que estes formam grupos fechados. O trabalho também apresenta o que chamamos de método de solução pelo invariante onde, de uma determinada simetria, obtemos uma transformação para as variáveis de Lie o que nos permite encontrar novas soluções para a equação diferencial parcial. Para exemplificar o algoritmo usamos a equação do calor, uma 2pde bem conhecida na literatura.  Um programa, na plataforma MAPLE, também foi desenvolvido no auxílio dos cálculos.

Published: June 2023

Developing technology and population growth increase energy demand. The limited natural resources and their negative environmental effects increase the interest in alternative energy sources. The decrease in oil resources and the environmental problems caused by these resources have increased the studies for electric vehicles. This study presents descriptive statistics on the charging station locations for electric vehicles and relationships between studies by author, country, citation, and occurrence. This will provide a way for researchers to obtain detailed information about their studies into the locations of electric vehicle charging stations. This study examined 212 studies in the “Web of Science” database from 2011 to 2022. Network analysis was conducted in this research using the Vosviewer and R software. In this context, descriptive statistics are first provided. In the section on descriptive statistics, basic facts about the studies are shown along with the annual scientific output, the most productive countries, the total number of citations per country, country collaboration, the most productive countries and authors, and the total number of citations per country. Since the second half of 2010, there has been an increasing trend in the number of publications on the positioning of electric vehicle charging stations. It is seen that most of the studies on the positioning of electric vehicle charging stations were also carried out in China, India and the USA. The analyses of document co-occurrence, bibliographic coupling, and co-citation are presented in the second section. It has been observed that the most frequently used keywords in studies related to the location of electric vehicle charging stations are optimization, sustainability and distribution systems.

Acute ischemic stroke is a serious problem for healthcare systems worldwide. Searching for the optimal neuroprotector is a contemporary challenge. Various studies have demonstrated neuroprotective properties of argon in ischemic brain damage models. However, the published data are inconsistent.The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of 24-hour argon-oxygen mixture (Ar 70%/O₂ 30%) inhalation on the severity of neurological deficit and the extent of brain damage in rats after a photoinduced ischemic stroke. Material and methods. The experiments were carried out on male Wistar rats weighing 430–530 g (N=26). Focal ischemic stroke was modeled in the sensorimotor cortex of the rat brain using photochemically induced vascular thrombosis. The animals were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham procedure + N₂ 70%/O₂ 30% inhalation (SP, N=6); stroke + N₂ 70%/O₂ 30% inhalation (Stroke, N=10); Stroke + Ar 70%/O₂ 30% inhalation (Stroke+iAr, N=10). The limb placement test (LPT) was used for neurological assessment during 14 days. Additionally, on day 14 after the stroke, brain MRI with lesion size morphometry was performed. Summarized for days 3,7 and 14 LPT scores were lower in the Stroke and Stroke + iAr groups as compared to the SP group.Results. Statistically significant differences in LPT scores between SP, Stroke, and Stroke+iAr groups were revealed on day 3 post-stroke: (scores: 14 (13; 14), 6.5 (4; 8), and 5 (3; 8), respectively, P=0.027). However, there was no statistical difference between the Stroke and Stroke+iAr groups.Conclusion. 24-hour inhalation of argon-oxygen mixture (Ar 70%/O₂ 30%) after stroke does not reduce the extent of brain damage or the severity of neurological deficit.

The research results showed that the pyrolysis and gasification characteristics of alkali lignin depended on phenolic sodium (-CONa) and carboxylate sodium (-COONa) groups (PCSG). In pyrolysis stage, PCSG improved the yields of alcohols and hydrocarbons but inhibited benzenes. During gasification stage, in the present of PCSG, the peak value of gasification rate increased, yet the initial gasification temperature decreased. Meanwhile, CO releasing was relatively concentrated and intensively increased from 37 min (740 oC) to 42 min (840 oC).

The effects of different circular saws on surface roughness were determined for heat-treated wood, including Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), eastern beech (Fagus orientalis L.), Uludağ fir (Abies bornmülleriana Mattf.), and sessile oak (Quercus petraea L.), which are used commonly in Turkey. Samples were heat-treated for 3, 5, or 7 hours at 140 or 160ºC, and cut with circular saws with 28, 48, 60, 72, or 96 teeth. Then, the surface roughness of the samples was determined using a scanning device (TIME TR200) with respect to the ISO 4287 standard. Heat treatment increased the surface roughness of the wood used, and changed the colour of the wood. To obtain smooth surfaces with or without heat treatment, a circular saw with 28 teeth and a double chamfered (WZ) mouth profile is recommended.

Properties of composite boards from oil palm frond agricultural waste were researched. Phenol and urea formaldehyde resins were used as the binders. The oil palm fronds were obtained from 20 year-old trees in an oil palm plantation in Kota Belud, Sabah. The fronds were segregated into three groups of matured, intermediate, and young oil palm fronds and further subdivided into bottom, middle, and top sections. The leaflets and the epidermis were removed from the fronds before they were sliced longitudinally into thin layers. The layers were then compressed into uniform thickness of 2 to 3 mm. The layers were air-dried and later mixed with resins using 12 to 15% of phenol and urea formaldehyde and recompressed with other layers, forming composite boards. The composite boards samples were then tested for their physical and mechanical properties. Testing was conducted in accordance with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard. The results for physical and mechanical properties showed that the oil palm composite boards were better than composite boards from oil palm trunks and slightly worse than the rubberwood. Statistical analysis indicated significant differences between composite boards made from each group and section, but no differences were observed in the type of resin used. The composite boards from oil palm fronds agricultural residues has the potential to be used as an alternative to wood to overcome the shortage in materials in the wood industry.

Authors: Ebrole Rodney I , Reyes Aubrey F
Published: June 2023

This qualitative, descriptive, and analytical research study aimed to describe the perception of Zamboangueño-Chabacano through a sociological lens. The examination of the data centers on Chabacano folklore gathered from several trustworthy sources. The enculturation and acculturation types of culture were used to categorize these non-material cultures. It is essential to comprehend Zamboangueo-Chabacano culture to preserve cultural traditions and develop programs that may be used in the classroom to promote greater literacy. Seventeen of the thirty-five described civilizations are enculturated, while 18 are acculturated. The Chabacano folklores that best capture the Zamboangueo-Chabacano culture emphasize respect for other people's languages, races, and cities, a firm belief in God, perseverance, diligence, courage, resourcefulness, and an acceptance of paranormal phenomena (kababalaghan). The research's findings corroborate the idea that the influence of Spanish culture and great devotion to Catholicism played an essential role in the lives of the Zamboangueño-Chabacano by showing that the majority of the culture depicted in Chabacano folklore is acculturation.

This study aimed to determine whether the School of Engineering and Information Communication Technology (SEICT) faculty at Universidad de Zamboanga is more effective when using the Electronic Grading System. Additionally, this was done to ascertain the drawbacks and benefits of using the Electronic Grading System (EGS) for students. This study used a survey questionnaire with self-assessment questions about efficiency (time, accuracy, and effort), user difficulties, and benefits of the tool. Sixteen professors took part in the investigation. The results of using frequency and % were as follows: Efficiency in terms of time, accuracy, and effort was demonstrated. Regarding time management, around 75.00% of people gave themselves extremely efficient ratings, 12.50% gave themselves efficient ratings, and 12.50% gave themselves ordinary ratings. Regarding accuracy, 18.75% of respondents gave themselves highly accurate ratings (no errors), 75% gave themselves accurate ratings (few errors), and 6.25% gave themselves an average grade (few more errors). 25% judged their effort levels as very efficient (no effort/at ease). The typical person reported being efficient (requiring less effort) at 6.25%. (with effort). Users using the Electronic Class Record (ECR) identified two issues: power outages (31.25%) and difficulty retrieving unsaved data (6.25%). The following are some benefits of using the electronic class record: accuracy (75%), less effort (100%), education (56.25%), increased systematicity (56.25%), and increased efficiency (81.25%) are all positives. The faculty's adoption of the Electronic Grading System is encouraged for efficiency. The faculty must be educated on the program's features to address users’ issues when using the electronic grading system. A seminar workshop could be planned for in-depth talks on using the electronic grading system. Researchers are encouraged to do a comparative study utilizing additional factors that affect how effectively people operate the computerized grading system.

This research set out to determine whether or not there was a correlation between students' levels of health-related physical fitness and their academic performance in Amman, the capital city of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. An independent sample of (841) male pupils from Amman's public schools was used for the research. Their anthropometric data were used to quantify health-related physical fitness, and the school average was culled from students' final grades. The results showed that the study sample was split into six categories based on their level of health-related physical fitness, that there was a direct correlation between health-related physical fitness and academic achievement at the 0.001 level, and that the average percentage of body fat was 25.29%. In light of the findings, the researcher concluded that there is a direct and close relationship between the level of health-related physical fitness and the academic achievement among secondary school students. This is because the negative effects of a high percentage of fat and low physical fitness are not confined to the public health; rather, they extend to a low level of academic achievement and the associated psychological problems among students. As participating in sports has been shown to improve kids' health, mental well-being, social skills, and academic performance, the study's author suggests ramping up the number of sports offered to Amman's school students.

The purpose of the study was to assess the function of the water supply treatment and distribution company in the state of Kedah, Syarikat Air Darul Aman (SADA) in fulfilling its function of supplying clean and treated water to 2.2 million people in Kedah. Despite the company structure, the impact of legislative regulation under the act of parliament and state enactment resulted in SADA being subject to full political control even though it is a business entity in accordance with the Companies Act 1965. For this purpose, 200 respondents were taken at random and distributed questionnaires in three SADA operating centres covering three regions, namely Eastern, Southern and Northern Kedah Regions 1. Four themes were observed using descriptive statistical analysis which is about the user's understanding of SADA functions. It also involves consumer expectations on SADA, the level of satisfaction with over-the-counter services and operations. The findings found that on average the percentage of user satisfaction in relation to the service and orientation provided by SADA was still poor. The level of professionalism, effective service and corporate governance is still underappreciated as the dominant culture in SADA due to the overshadowed company structure of a government agency.
