Authors: Nworie Cyril , Onukwuli Dominic , Ikezue Edwin , Ekebafe Lawrence
Published: January 2023

This paper details the effect of adsorption variables on the removal of cadmium ions from wastewater using activated periwinkle shell. The periwinkle shells were carbonized for 1.5h for 900oC, and activated using HNO3 and calcium chloride solution. The textural characteristic of the adsorbent was determined using BET surface area analysis methods, structural characterizations of the activated carbon from the periwinkle shells were performed using FTIR, SEM, and EDX. Three different concentrations of cadmium ions solution were prepared as 10mg/l, 30mg/l, 50mg/l, 80mlg/l and 100mg/l from the stock solution. The batch mode adsorption experiment of cadmium ion onto activated periwinkle shell was carried out. The effects of time of contact, pH, initial concentration, adsorbent dose, particle sizes and temperature were investigated. The result indicates that activated periwinkle shell exhibit good sorption capacity with a large surface area of 574.50m2/g and mesoporosity of 71.42%. The sorption capacity were 67.28m2/g for Cd(II) ions. The equilibrium was attained after 70mins with the particle size of 212μm. The results indicate that the pH for maximum removal of cadmium (II) ions is 6.0.
MODERNIDAD, POLÍTICA EDUCATIVA Y CURRICULAR EN LA EDUCACIÓN PERUANA
Authors: Vilcatoma Salas Luis Freddy
Published: January 2023

La investigación se ha orientado a determinar teóricamente la relación existente entre el contenido de la política educativa y curricular con las importantes modificaciones que se observan en el capitalismo actual, haciendo uso del método bibliográfico-documental y habiéndose llegado a las siguientes conclusiones principales: la política educativa y curricular en el Perú responde, en lo general, a los grandes cambios que experimenta el capitalismo mundial; lo que explica sus aciertos y fracasos y sus avances y retrocesos en el proceso de modernización de la formación social peruana. Estos cambios fundamentales que ha experimentado el mundo burgués desde su nacimiento incluyendo sus propias negaciones históricas, son los de la modernidad y postmodernidad que se extienden al Perú de la mano del capitalismo transnacional, primero, y global después, en las vías del euro centrismo y la colonialidad del poder, acertados conceptos para dar cuenta, dentro de otras cosas, del signo de la educación que tenemos en el país; así como de sus posibilidades y limitaciones.En relación a esta situación, una de las dificultades estructurales que tienen la política educativa en el Perú es su indefinición esencial, como proyecto global, entre la modernidad y postmodernidad (más allá de lo que podría ser una propuesta radical de “desprendimiento” o “desanclaje”), en un eclecticismo que se traduce en contradicciones entre la gestión curricular y los contenidos del Currículo Nacional, como al interior de la propia gestión curricular y los contenidos del Currículo Nacional.

Changing/Rearranging
Authors: Blomster Jeffrey P.
Published: January 2023

The final centuries of the Early Formative period (the “Early Horizon,” from ca. 1400–1000 calibrated BCE), represent a time of fundamental transformations on many levels: individual identity, gender, suprahousehold and corporate groups, emerging inequality, and ontologies of human relations with the natural and supernatural worlds. Interactions both within and between communities were crucial in these transformations. The chapter explores changes in identity at Early Formative Etlatongo, in the Mixteca Alta of Oaxaca, Mexico. Using as a framework ideas of transformation inspired by a contemporary avatar of change, David Bowie, the analysis includes both quotidian differentiation and larger scale activities focused on Early Formative public space at Etlatongo: a ballcourt and associated ceramic imagery of ballplayers. Comparisons of these data with those from the contemporaneous Valley of Oaxaca and Gulf Olmec illustrate different trajectories in both the constitution of social status differences and emerging political authority.

Published: January 2023

Agent-based models(ABMs) are a type of simulation in which a large number of self-sufficient agents interact in a way that combines stochastic and deterministic behavior. Recently, there have been reestablished interests in utilizing multiagent systems (MASs) to get more granular data relating to specific conditions. MESA is an ABM framework for Python. It enables users to quickly develop ABMs with built-in core components, view them with a browser-based interface, and evaluate their findings with Python’s data analysis capabilities. This chapter depicts an ABM of a photovoltaic (PV)-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging station in a university car park modeled using MESA. The goal is to determine the preliminary requirements for PV-powered EV charging stations, which would result in increased PV and cost benefits.
Impact of Climate Variability on Forest Vegetation Zones in Malawi
Authors: Missanjo Edward , Munthali Maggie
Published: January 2023

A study was conducted to evaluate the influence of climate variability on forest type and forest living biomass. Three scenarios were used in the assessment. Namely: Near century (2011–2040), mid-century (2041–2070), and end-century (2071–2100). Holdridge Life Zone model and GAP Formind modified were used for the assessment. The results show that three forest vegetation zones will be observed from near century to end century. Namely: dry forest, very dry forest and thorn woodland forest. Under near century climate conditions, there are two forest vegetation zones occurring: dry forest and very dry forest. Under mid-century climate conditions, thorn woodland forest will emerge, and dry forest will disappear in the end-century. There will be a significant decrease in forest living biomass (1000 kg ha−1 yr−1) from near century to end-century. The study has demonstrated that future climate change will be conducive to growth and expansion of very dry forest vegetation zone, which causes positive effects on reforestation planning and adaptive strategies. Therefore, the study suggests the following as some possible strategies to adapt climate change: promotion of natural regeneration of tree species, promotion of tree site matching, production and promotion of new tree seed varieties; and seed banking for drought resistant tree species.

Published: January 2023

Research on quantum dots (QDs) as zero-dimensional nanostructures whose size is not more than a few nanometers has accelerated in the last two decades, especially in the field of medicine. These nanostructures have attracted much attention due to their unique features such as broad excitation range, narrow emission, strong fluorescence, and high resistance to photobleaching. In this chapter, besides common QDs such as cadmium (Cd)-containing semiconductor QDs, other QDs including carbon-based QDs, chalcogenide QDs, and black phosphorus QDs will be discussed. In addition to describing the optical characteristics of these nanostructures, the usual synthesis methods, their modification and cytotoxicity will be reviewed. Finally, the application of each category of QDs in cancer cell imaging will prospect in more detail.
Lecturers’ Perception of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge in Nigerian Colleges of Education
Authors: Jacob Kola Aina , Adebayo Azeez Abdulwasiu
Published: January 2023

The study investigates lecturers’ perception of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) in Nigerian Colleges of Education. This is a survey method of research, where a questionnaire was used to obtain data from teachers in three public Colleges of Education in a state. The questionnaire is a five-point Likert scale containing 29 items on technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). The data obtained were analysed using descriptive statistics. Results show that teachers possess the technological knowledge required for their teaching profession and use various teaching pedagogies to teach. Besides, teachers integrate technologies to teach subject content using suitable teaching methods. Finally, teachers employed minimal technologies for their teachings, and only a few lecturers own personal technologies. One of the implications of the outcome of this research is the teacher’s challenge to e-learning. This research indicates that Nigerian Colleges of Education teachers have not been adequately engaging students in online teaching during COVID-19.

Published: January 2023

The pyrometallurgical methods of the recovery of various critical metals have been established. Certain pyrometallurgical approaches for niobium (Nb) and tantalum (Ta) extraction have been studied and investigated by several researchers. For instance, the conventional reduction of Nb mineral or Nb2O5 to Nb metal has been conducted over the decades. Albeit, the success level of this process, it however involves the consumption of lots of energy, high cost of equipment/equipment maintenance, somewhat low Nb and Ta recovery and limited effectiveness on low grade minerals; and thus, considered cost intensive and inefficient. In addition, the inadequacies of pyrometallurgical extraction of these metals from their complex, low grade mineral ores due to its difficulty and large energy requirement in melting the elemental impurities and gangue minerals have been a major concern. On this premise therefore, the study will provide insights into recent pyrometallurgical techniques of Nb and Ta extraction as well as associated factors and challenges.
The Global Impact of HIV/AIDS on the Realisation of Health Rights
Authors: Pillay Nirmala
Published: January 2023

The chapter critically examines the extent to which the HIV/AIDS litigation advanced the prevention, control and treatment of HIV/AIDS and the realisation of health rights. The justiciability of socio-economic (SC) rights underpins the discussion on health rights but questions about justiciability still leaves unanswered the enforceability of measures against duty bearers to achieve health equity so that vulnerable communities, bearing the greatest burden of HIV/AIDS, are targeted. Advancing health rights through the courts highlights the limitations of law as a human rights tool in holding duty bearers accountable.1 Ultimately, the full realisation of health rights to achieve health equity may require rights-based approaches to be embedded across public and private health service delivery, research, national strategies, and plans.
Changes in Language Use as Reflected in Shuǐhǔ zhuàn Passages Embedded in the Jīn Píng Méi cíhuà
Authors: Lín Huáng
Published: January 2023

In adopting textual content from the Shuǐhǔ zhuàn 水滸傳, the Jīn Píng Méi cíhuà 金瓶梅詞話 inserted a great deal of dialect and colloquial expressions. In this way, this novel effected a transformation toward the adoption of rustic expressions in the báihuà 白話 colloquial of the traditional Chinese vernacular novel in the process of the evolution of the genre. Among the expressions added in Jīn Píng Méi cíhuà, HUÁNG Lín finds dialect and colloquial expressions that are characteristic of Wú dialects. Only these expressions are able truly to reflect the attributes of dialect used by the author. This is of highly valuable reference for judging whether the author is a Northerner or a person of the Wú region. Nonetheless, the name Yíng’ér 迎兒 that is used in the first half of Jīn Píng Méi cíhuà, is written as Yíng’ér 蠅兒 in the latter sections. This example raises challenging issues in determining whether the author is using Wú dialect or a northern [Mandarin] dialect.
Wordplay in Jīn Píng Méi
Authors: Huìyīng Zhāng
Published: January 2023

In this chapter, ZHĀNG Huìyīng discusses the frequent use of dialect colloquialisms, vulgar language, and non-standard characters in the Jīn Píng Méi. In this regard, the novel is significantly different from the written vernacular adopted in Shuǐhǔ zhuàn, Xīyóu jì, and Hónglóu mèng that is more straight-laced and easily understood. Jīn Píng Méi is especially fond of wordplay that uses homophonic witticisms and the use of novel Chinese characters in the playful pursuit of fun and entertainment. Yet, the novel also utilizes humor as well as angry cursing to expose the darker sides of its contemporary Míng 明 (1368-1644) society. In reflecting the trends of its day to seek enjoyment in punning and wordplay the Jīn Píng Méi is found to exhibit the rich and colorful depth of the vernacular literary language. Most importantly, the wordplay in the novel is found to be strongly influenced by Wú dialect phonology and vocabulary. Hence the author must have been a Wú dialect speaker.

Organisations are expected to manage work-related road safety (WRRS) in the same way that they manage other health and safety risks. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and Department for Transport (DFT) issue joint guidance on this in INDG382 ‘Driving at work: managing work-related road safety’. HSE and DFT were seeking to update INDG382 to include reference to vehicle safety technologies that could enable employers to monitor safety related events or driver behaviours, to support learning and safety improvements. They commissioned TRL to - Conduct a literature review focused on evaluations of the impact of these technologies on work-related road safety (specifically, crash risk) Lead in-depth interviews with representatives of organisations who had implemented technology-based safety monitoring in their fleet and stakeholders and experts who provided further insights into factors affecting successful implementation. TRL found that telematics systems, drowsiness and distraction recognition systems, and collision warning systems have significant potential safety benefits, but rigorous published evaluation of safety-focused telematics in the fleet context is limited. There is good evidence for the safety benefits of intelligent speed assist in private and fleet vehicles. Successful implementation relies on procuring systems that match needs, managing the potential for data to overwhelm and embedding monitoring and driver feedback within good management systems and strong safety leadership. This report provides recommendations for updating guidance for organisations considering implementing vehicle safety monitoring technologies (telematics).
Dilematika Gideon: Makna Pemilihan Hanya 300 Tentara
Authors: Ziduhu Laia Harman
Published: January 2023

God's selection of just 300 men put Gideon in a very difficult faith dilemma, between advancing or retreating in battle against the Midianite army which was many times more numerous. This act of God certainly had significant meaning and purpose for Gideon and his army. These aims and purposes can only be understood and rightly expresses based on a reading of the context of Gideon's own situation, not based on our current context. A reading of the context shows that God had a very clear design and purpose, namely to show Gideon and his men that their victory was entirely due to God's own deeds and power; to make Gideon more trusting and dependent upon God's presence. God's choice of selection criteria for the me also shows that there is an attitude of heart within most men that makes them unfit to fight, and so not needed at the battlefront.
ABSTRAK BAHASA INDONESIA 
Pemilihan hanya 300 tentara oleh Allah menempatkan Gideon dalam sebuah dilematika iman yang sangat sulit, antara maju atau mundur untuk beperang melawan tentara Midian yang jumlahnya berkali lipat banyaknya itu. Tindakan Allah ini tentu saja memiliki maksud dan tujuan bagi Gideon dan tentaranya. Maksud dan tujuan ini harus diungkapkan berdasarkan pembacaan konteks keadaaan Gideon itu sendiri, bukan berdasarkan pembacaan konteks keadaan masa kini. Dalam pembacaan konteks tersebut menunjukkan bahwa Allah memiliki maksud dan tujuan, yaitu untuk menunjukkan kepada Gideon dan tentaranya bahwa  kemenangan mereka [adalah] oleh karena perbuatan dan kuasa Allah; untuk membuat Gideon lebih mempercayai dan bergantung pada penyertaan Tuhan; penyeleksian tentara menunjukkan adanya sikap hati yang tidak layak di antara mereka untuk berperang, sehingga tidak perlu untuk ikut berperang.

Authors: Reesh Imad Abu

In this article I tried to explain about marriage and divorce to members of the Druze community. The marriage procedure is a procedure that requires members of the community to act in accordance with many years of tradition, because there is no complete equality between a man and a woman in all the religions in the world except the Druze religion and the small Druze community that gives both spouses to choose the other side and also to divorce him to choose another and also the possibility of divorcing him because marriage should not continue by force.

The Rohingya Muslims, an ethno-religious minority group from Myanmar, are one of the most persecuted minorities in the world. The atrocities committed by Myanmar security forces against the Rohingya, including mass killings, sexual violence and widespread arson, are considered crimes against humanity. The global community has reacted against these persecutions and described the situation as a case of ethnic cleansing, even genocide. This paper will try to examine the facts that led to these oppressions, the reasons behind the Rohingya’s loss of citizenship under the 1982 Citizenship Law and its consequences. It will also present their long history of severe discrimination, the numerous restrictions they were subject to and the unimaginable horrors they have experienced.
Reflections on Data of Oral History Collected by the Surveys of the Jewish Community from Oradea
Authors: Oltean Anca
Published: January 2023

This is a paper based on my PhD thesis “The history of the Jews from Romania and Hungary (1945-1953) in the Romanian and Hungarian Historical Writings”. From the consultation of the edite bibliography that we put at the basis of the present study it results that we have studied of an appreciable literature dedicated to the study of Jewish phenomena after the Second World War, published in Romania and Hungary. Written by Romanian and Hungarian historians, some of Jewish origins, the edited bibliography reveals us a series of particularities of the evolution of Jewish community during communist period in Central Europe. The sources of oral history allow us to give new insights on a community on fighting for the coming out from the tragedy of Holocaust, the adaptation to the newly political economical realities of the area, but also for the prezervation of identity. Thus were questioned 8 members of the Jewish Community of Oradea, who either them or members of their family members were returned from deportation with the view of the early postwar years in Oradea and their welcoming back in the community near the Crisul Repede River.
The Role of Local Authorities in the New Digital Europe Framework. What Can they Bring to the Table?
Authors: Mărcuț Mirela
Published: January 2023

This article analyzes the contribution of local authorities, either cities or regions, to the new EU digital strategy, based on the acknowledgment of the need for strengthened coordination among societal actors for digital transformation. By using document analysis of the new policy documents on Digital Europe, the article postulates that the new digital policy is different from previous endeavors and, as such, more active involvement should be sought from various actors. The article lists two potential pillars in which local authorities contribute, namely either by direct involvement, based on the main ideas from the strategy, or by indirect involvement. The indirect involvement regards the building of trust and the encouragement of citizen participation so as to increase the transparency of digital transformation with ramifications up to the European level.

Published: January 2023

In an effort to transform business operations and to integrate the property into the Sheraton chain of the hotel after a recent acquisition of the Okinawa Sunmarina Resort, the Starwood group was exploring opportunities for revamping talent operations, organizational architecture and internal communications. Shifting from pure intuition and just “doing one‟s best” to a data-driven business operation was one of the first initiatives the management implemented. Along with this, the Starwood Group introduced a series of new talent operations, geared at hiring and successfully on-boarding international talent needed to provide multi-lingual service to a rapidly diversifying clientele. These initiatives were complemented by a combination of carefully devised data utilization and cognitive architecture techniques, which were meant to induce awe and to create agile employee and customer engagement. The main purpose of this article is to analyze the effectiveness of the techniques utilized by the Starwood Group to revamp organizational architecture and to modernize communications and talent operations in order to illustrate the effectiveness of digitalization, built architecture and user engagement initiatives in creating modern organizations, integrated communications, and agile talent operations.
The Impact of Public Procurement in the Absorption Process of Non-Refundable European Funds Assigned to Romania Between 2014-2020
Authors: Gligor Diana
Published: January 2023

Public acquisitions have been a constant challenge in the application process for public funds, especially in the application for European non-reimbursable funds. The low rate of absorption relating to the programming period 2014-2020 is closely linked to the manner of processing public acquisitions in Romania, these engendering most of the delays in the application process of non-reimbursable funds projects. Although Romanian primary legislation relating to public acquisitions is balanced by the community’s acquis, secondary legislation shows inconsistencies and leaves room for interpretation, with many scantily regulated subjects. Corroborated by the lack of clear descriptions of the roles relating to the National Authority for Public Procurement and to the Managing Authorities in regards to the verification of public acquisitions made by beneficiaries of European funds, this causes not only delays in the application process of the projects, but also financial corrections and a low rate of absorption.
