Published: August 2024

The pandemic has led researchers to reconsider traditional approaches, resulting in an increased dependence on digital platforms for data gathering, analysis, and dissemination. This qualitative study investigates the experiences and adaptations of Development Studies graduate and post-graduate students at Ateneo de Davao University in data gathering within a hybrid learning environment. The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a shift from traditional face-to-face data collection methods to hybrid approaches, combining in-person and online learning modalities. Drawing on connectivism theory, the study explores how students navigate digital networks and adapt research methodologies to hybrid settings. Through Key Informant Interviews (KIIs), data were collected from three graduate and post-graduate students, focusing on modifications in data gathering strategies, challenges encountered, and comparisons with traditional methods. Thematic analysis revealed themes related to methodological changes, technological integration, and shifts in research experiences. While hybrid learning offers enhanced accessibility and flexibility, challenges include ensuring data reliability and addressing technological barriers.

Efficient emergency response systems are vital for smart cities, facing unique challenges such as those in Chad, where infrastructure limitations compound the need for innovative solutions. The proliferation and maturation of numerous advanced computing technologies that can be used to improve emergency response efficiency is a sign that innovative solutions can actually be designed and implemented. This paper proposes a novel system architecture integrating Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), Dijkstra's algorithm, and Edge Computing; the architecture aims to set out the context for the optimization of emergency response by accelerating route planning and resource allocation using FPGA-based computations and decentralized Edge Computing. The key components of this architecture and their main algorithms are described and studied in the paper. Provided analysis clearly outlines possibilities for improved response times and resource allocation, addressing specific challenges faced in Chadian-like contexts.

This work aims to achieve interesting progress in uranium extraction by introducing a promising strategy that utilizes atmospheric nitrogen plasma-induced amine modification of CBC (Cubic Bi-continuous) material, providing a compelling pathway to enhance CBC's adsorption properties specifically for uranium harvesting. CBCs mesoporous silica samples were prepared by mixing the Pluronic F-127 as a template and TEOS (Tetraethyl Orthosilicate) as silica sources in the sol-gel process under acidic conditions. The obtained CBCs were treated using nitrogen plasma at room temperature (RT) under atmospheric pressure in a customized-borosilicate plasma reactor. Subsequently, the treated CBSs were grafted with amine groups. The final samples were characterized using SAXS (Small Angle Synchrotron X-ray Scattering) to determine the phase and structure, SEM-EDS (Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) analysis to quantify the presence of silica, oxygen, and embedded nitrogen, and Specific Surface Area (SSA) Analyzer using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method to determine the specific surface area and pore size distribution. The SAXS profiles indicate that the obtained samples can be classified as CBCs Im3m mesoporous silica. The presence of silica, oxygen, and nitrogen was verified through SEM-EDS analysis, with approximate compositions of 36-37 %, 51-62 %, and 0.7-1.0 %, respectively. The use of SSA analysis further supported the findings, confirming the typical adsorption isotherm IV model. The specific surface areas were measured to be 371 m2/g for pure CBC, 573 m2/g for P1-CBC, and 607 m2/g for P2-CBC. The pore size distribution analysis revealed mesoporous characteristics within the material, with pore sizes ranging from 4 to 6.5 nm. On a batch laboratory scale, the material achieved the highest adsorption capacity of 15.68 mg-U(VI)/g-NH2@P1-CBC from natural seawater after 1 hour of contact time.

The development of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) represents a pivotal shift in nuclear technology, emphasizing enhanced safety, efficiency, and adaptability. This study examines Toshiba's MoveluX, an innovative micro-reactor, exemplifying advancements in reactor miniaturization suitable for limited spatial environments and hybridization with other energy sources. In this paper, the performance and safety of the MoveluX are rigorously evaluated using the OpenMC code, with an emphasis on critical parameters such as the effective multiplication coefficient and the reactivity worth of control devices. A 3D model of the given microreactor was built based on Toshiba's designs and features a solid core and a heat pipe cooling system. Preliminary results affirm the model's accuracy, and analysis of the neutron spectrum and flux indicates significant fission occurring in the U-238 isotope. Furthermore, the investigation extends to the thermal aspect within the fuel elements, uncovering a significant power density at the interfaces between fuel and moderator. Overall, this research makes a substantial contribution to the field of microreactor design and optimization.

Compared to conventional radiotherapy (X-rays or γ-rays), charged particle therapy shows more potential in treating deep-seated and radio-resistant tumors. Currently, all centers that offer hadron therapy use proton or 12C ion. Ongoing research is exploring the possibility of using others heavier ions, such as oxygen ion 16O or helium ion 4He. In this study, Monte Carlo method was used employing the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS), to examine the amount of dose deposited by incident particles of 12C ion with energies of 200 and 300 MeV/u, as well as 16O ions with energies of 237.5 and 358.5 MeV/u. In this study, we investigated the depth dose distribution of carbon and oxygen ion beams by comparing their energy deposition in a water phantom and the impact of secondary particles. When considering lower energies, oxygen ions are more advantageous than carbon ions as they have slightly higher peak input ratios. This property enables higher doses to be delivered to tumor targets or lower doses to healthy surrounding tissues.
