SYNTHESIS KALIUM ALUMUNIUM SULPHATE (ALUM) FROM ALUMUNIUM FOIL WASTE USING KOH AND H2SO4
Authors: Rahmawati Atiqa
Published: December 2024

The increase in the culinary industry certainly must be balanced with the packaging waste generated. The waste from aluminum foil is one of the wastes produced. Over 8 tons of aluminum foil waste are generated each month in East Java. Waste that has been piled up is only given to third parties. It takes about 400 years for aluminum foil to breakdown and decompose in the soil. Aluminum foil waste can generate environmental pollution. As waste pollution increases, alternatives are needed to convert waste into useful materials. Aluminum foil can be utilized as a raw material for the production of potassium aluminum sulfate due to its high aluminum content. The objective of this study is to utilize aluminum waste into potassium aluminum sulfate. The concentrations of KOH and H2SO4 are the two variables combined. In this study, the yield value, pH analysis, melting point, and Al2O3 content of alum will be determined. The results showed that 2 M KOH and 4.5 M H2SO4 had the highest yield of 88.3580, pH 3,08; melting point 92 °C; and Al2O3 concentration 15,5%. Potassium aluminum sulfate performed physical analysis, including analyses of pH, melting point, and Al2O3 concentration. Alum has a pH of about 3, and its melting point is between 92 and 93 °C, while the Al2O3 content ranges between 9 and 11%. Kalium alumnium sulfate meets the SNI 0032:2011 standards for physical pH and melting point analysis. However, the Al2O3 content does not meet to SNI 0032:2011.

Published: December 2024

The performance of the sales team is one of the important indicators of a company's success, which is measured through the achievement of sales targets, negotiation skills, and efficiency in managing customer relationships. Problems in the appraisal of sales team performance often arise due to various factors that affect objectivity and fairness in evaluation. One of the main problems is the lack of consistent assessment standards, where each team member may be assessed with different assessment opinions, leading to bias in evaluation results. The application of the Root Assessment Method and ROC Weighting in the performance evaluation of the sales team is an innovative and effective approach to improve productivity and team performance. The combination of these two methods not only facilitates in-depth analysis of individual and team performance, but also supports strategic decision-making in the continuous development and improvement of sales team capabilities.

Parody’s paradox: ‘Dover Beach’ versus ‘The Dover Bitch’
Authors: McAlpine Erica
Published: December 2024

This article tests the notion that a literary critic might judge one poem to be demonstrably better than another. It does so by staging a contest between Matthew Arnold’s ‘Dover Beach’ and Anthony Hecht’s parody ‘The Dover Bitch’. Pitting Arnold versus Hecht raises several questions: how subjective, or prescriptive, can a critic be in defining standards for poetry? What values necessarily factor into a reader’s aesthetic criteria, and how do these values work with, or against, the formal, thematic, and ethical freedoms poets require? Can a parody ever outshine the original? By closely comparing the details of each poem, the article ultimately demonstrates parody’s desire to become what it mocks while also arguing for the importance of evaluation to literary studies. The article concludes by declaring who did Dover best—suggesting what ‘best’ might mean in the context of these two particular poems. This article arises from a British Academy Lecture delivered on 21 March 2024.

Pushing the borders of social policy analysis
Authors: Morris Lydia , Williams Fiona , Daly Mary
Published: December 2024

In this conversation the joint winners of the 2023 British Academy Peter Townsend Book Prize discuss their books with Mary Daly. The prize is awarded biennially for outstanding work in social policy. Lydia Morris, author of The Moral Economy of Welfare and Migration and Fiona Williams, author of Social Policy: a Critical and Intersectional Analysis, discuss their analyses of social change and social welfare since the start of austerity in 2010. Both authors highlight the ways in which the increasingly restrictive, controlling and punitive policies of migration and asylum at the borders have been carried into domestic welfare policy. Both focus on the immiserating impact on specific populations and the connections to ethnonationalist discourses. For Morris, employing the concept of civic stratification, this ‘welfare/asylum/migration nexus’ is part of a moral economy whose devices of control have far reaching implications for how we are governed as a total population. Williams contextualises these developments in terms of four intersecting global crises: the racialised crisis of borders and the crises of care, of climate change, and of financial capitalism. Both authors consider the forms and influence of social justice resistance.

Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty
Authors: Havan Cumhur
Published: December 2024

This review examines “Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty” by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson, a significant contribution to understanding the complex dynamics of national success and failure. The authors argue that the fundamental determinant of a nation's economic performance lies in the nature of its political and economic institutions. Through a series of historical case studies, they illustrate how inclusive institutions foster innovation and broad-based participation, leading to prosperity, while extractive institutions concentrate power and wealth, resulting in stagnation and decline. The review highlights the book's strengths, including its interdisciplinary approach and rich historical analysis, which challenge traditional economic theories that attribute national fortunes to geography or culture. However, it also addresses criticisms, such as the book's overemphasis on institutions and its limited practical guidance for nations seeking reform. The review underscores the book's relevance in contemporary discussions about global inequality and governance, offering valuable insights for policymakers and scholars alike. Ultimately, “Why Nations Fail” serves as a vital resource for understanding the institutional foundations of economic development and remains a crucial text in the fields of political economy and development studies.

Protection of religious freedom in the digital era
Authors: TESTA BAPPENHEIM Stefano
Published: December 2024

The duty of confidentiality is considered one of the highest and oldest obligations of ministers of religion, and in line with its great importance, it has been protected by numerous legal provisions, within the framework of the protection of religious freedom, since confessional secrecy requires procedural support in the form of rights to refuse to testify and prohibitions on arrest searches, otherwise it would degenerate into a de facto ‘empty shell’, due to the general obligation to testify in court or the possibility of seizing documents. But society, with the rapid and universal development of digital techniques, is undergoing a revolution, the consequences of which are likely to alter the current paradigms resulting from the industrial revolution. Society will be transformed in the same way it was transformed in the 19th century, during the industrial revolution. This ongoing revolution will change our view of public and private freedoms. The legislation put in place by the French Revolution to define and protect the rights and freedoms of man and citizen must evolve in the face of the contribution and influence of new technologies and their consequences on these freedoms. If public freedoms are affected by the digitization of society, so are individual freedoms. By unifying the laws of the Member States, the General Data Protection Regulation is a first step towards universal protection throughout the European Union.
Judicial accountability and independence: their relationship with economic growth and effects of judicial corruption on the economy
Authors: MYRTO Kevin S.
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this article is to examine the responsibilities and independence of the judicial system, referring to the Albanian judicial system, its connection to corruption, and the consequences it has on the economy. Albania transitioned with difficulty from a totalitarian system to a democratic one, striving to leave behind a dark past where fundamental human rights were denied. The reform of the justice system and the cleansing of these institutions from corrupt officials, based on new legal initiatives, are expected to bring long-awaited results. Moreover, the international factor, led by the European Union and the United States, has played a key role in advancing justice reform as a non-negotiable condition for Albania’s accession to the larger European family. The negative role played by corruption in the Albanian economy cannot be denied, causing significant damage to strategic sectors with a direct impact on the country’s stability and internal security. As a result of the transition from a centralized economy to a free market economy, the Albanian economy quickly faced high levels of corruption, tax evasion, and informality, suffering significant setbacks that left Albania in the state of a developing economy. The methodology used in this paper is based on the interpretation of the theoretical framework and the analysis of different authors’ approaches and perspectives, as well as various studies.

Authors: Singh Housila P. , Tailor Rajesh , Malviya Priyanka
Published: December 2024

This paper addresses the problem of estimating the finite population variance of the study variable y using information on the known population variance of the auxiliary variable x in sample surveys. We have suggested a class of estimators for population variance using information on population variance of x. The bias and mean squared error of the suggested class of estimators up to first order of approximation was obtained. Preference regions were derived under which the suggested class of estimators is more efficient than the usual unbiased estimator, Das and Tripathi (1980) estimators, Isaki (1983) ratio estimator, Singh et al (1973, 1988) estimator and Gupta and Shabbir (2007) estimator. An empirical study as well as simulation study were carried out in support of the present study.
A method of estimating the Return on Housing Investment (ROHI)
Authors: Derkacz Arkadiusz J.
Published: December 2024

The aim of the study was to develop a method for estimating the profitability of housing investments. Market practice shows that the profitability of this type of investment is influenced by specific determinants that are absent in the classical approach to profitability analysis. The most commonly used method is the Return on Equity (ROE) ratio, which is dedicated to enterprises. However, housing investments are becoming increasingly popular among individuals, while the classical ROE method proved suboptimal for such ventures (i.e. those involving the purchase of residential property and its subsequent rental to third parties). In this context, we made an attempt to develop a method that would make the estimation of the profitability level of this type of investment possible. Through the decomposition of the ROE ratio, a model for the Return on Housing Investment (ROHI) was created. This model was verified using real market data. Ultimately, we found that the ROHI method allows the estimation of the profitability level while taking into consideration the most important determinants characteristic of this type of investment.
Estimation of the Cox model with grouped lifetimes
Authors: Nowak Piotr Bolesław
Published: December 2024

This paper presents how random numbers can be used to transform grouped lifetimes into a pseudo-complete sample. The aim of the study is to investigate the Fisher consistency of the partial likelihood estimator of the regression parameters in the Cox model based on the restored sample. It has been proven that for elliptical-type distributional assumptions about explanatory variables the estimators of the regression parameters in the Cox model based on the pseudo-complete sample are consistent up to a scaling factor. A simulation study illustrates the asymptotic properties of the estimates. In addition, real data case analysis is presented.

Inverse NMR echo in the rotating coordinate frame in cobalt micropowders and nanowires
Authors: Mamniashvili G.I. , Gegechkori T.O , Gavasheli T.A.
Published: December 2024

The first observation of an inverse nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) echo in the laboratory coordinate system was recorded  in  cobalt nanofilms utilizing  a  nanosecond-scale  magnetic  video-pulse.  This  study  extends that work by investigating a similar phenomenon, this time within the rotating coordinate frame in cobalt micropowders and nanowires. The nuclear spin system’s response within the domain walls of these cobalt structures was analyzed under the combined influence of radio-frequency (RF) fields and a microsecond magnetic video-pulse. As a result, an echo signal analogous to an inversion echo in a rotating coordinate system was produced. The amplitude of the magnetic video-pulse required to generate this echo signal serves as an estimate of the domain wall pinning strength in the micropowders and nanowires. Additionally, this paper  discusses the unique  electroless  synthesis method  for cobalt nanowires within  an  external magnetic field utilized in this research. The experimental findings on domain wall pinning forces in these systems are presented, with potential applications including advances in logic and memory devices, sensors, rare earth magnets, medical hyperthermia, and beyond.

significantly affected as the temperature rises and precipitation patterns shift. Over the years since
industrialization started, the earth’s climate has changed due to increasing human intervention. The
changing climate has adversely impacted the delicate web of life, and fungi and lichens are no
exception. Climate change can alter fungal diversity, distribution, and activity. Warmer
temperatures and increased precipitation in some regions could boost fungal decomposition rates,
aiding soil fertility and potentially increasing plant productivity. Rising temperatures allow some
mycorrhizal fungi, vital plant partners, to colonize new frontiers, potentially aiding plant expansion
and ecosystem adaptation. However, this warming tide threatens cold-adapted fungi, pushing them
closer to extinction. While offering some benefits, rising CO2 and temperatures create a perfect
storm for mycotoxin production by stressed fungi, jeopardizing food security and health. The
potential risks to food security and health are significant, and it's crucial to understand and address
these issues. Climate-driven extremes like droughts, floods, and wildfires threaten fungal networks,
triggering die-offs and ecosystem domino effects. Climate change acts like a geographical shuffler,
disrupting established mycorrhizal communities and favoring opportunistic, potentially invasive
species. This reshuffling could lead to less efficient partnerships, impact plant growth, and create
ecological imbalances. This review offers a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the complex
interplay between climate change and fungi and explores how climate change disrupts various
fungal realms, from terrestrial fruiting to marine ecosystems, unraveling impacts on fungal
pathogens, symbiosis, and food security.

Advancements in the repair and protection of water and wastewater infrastructure are now focused on using an innovative material called polyurea. Distinguished by its rapid curing time and versatile applications, polyurea is applied using a spray gun with high-pressure pumps. The introduction of new building materials is part of ongoing efforts to meet stringent environmental, health, and performance standards, and polyurea offers significant improvements by eliminating solvents and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This paper presents a technological protocol starting with inspection and cleaning, followed by drying, and ending with the application of three layers: a moisture-blocking base layer, a rigid polyurethane middle layer for structural reinforcement, and a final sealing and anti-corrosion layer. This innovative method ensures a homogeneous, seamless structure, enhances construction durability, and accelerates the repair process, allowing immediate resumption of operation. Designed specifically for aggressive wastewater environments, this system is characterized by excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for water and wastewater infrastructure elements such as reinforced concrete manholes, sewage pumping stations, and tanks. Customizable polyurea properties allow personalization based on environmental aggressiveness, structure size, and abrasion resistance, representing a significant advancement in infrastructure maintenance technology. The paper showcases this modern repair and renovation method, highlighting its applications, benefits, and potential to revolutionize water and wastewater infrastructure maintenance in challenging conditions. The effectiveness of this solution is also compared with traditional methods, demonstrating the superiority of the three-layer system in terms of waterproofing, sulfuric acid resistance, monolithic structure, and application time.

Emerging economies like Poland experienced a sharp increase in the construction sector while war-ravaged Ukraine required the urgency to reconstruct their nation, and developing nations like Nigeria had a high demand for housing to meet their teeming populations. Considering the growth rate in construction activities in these nations, the volume of construction demolition and waste (CDW) will be on the rise. Hence, this study compares the various legislative frameworks regarding construction demolition and waste management (CDWM) in the three nations by focusing on policy enforcement, stakeholder involvement, infrastructure, and innovation. The results show Nigeria has a basic legislative framework with different implementation and infrastructural challenges. On the other hand, Poland has a comprehensive framework and advanced infrastructure with a great commitment to sustainable waste management, while Ukraine is in the developmental stage of enhancing its CDWM practices. The countries have unique opportunities to improve their CDWM practices through planning, stakeholder involvement, and support from international organizations focusing on best practices. Through this comparative analysis, the government of nations, and stakeholders (investors and professionals) can review and improve their CDWM policies through international collaboration and move toward a sustainable approach.
