Even Though Mother Bohwa Maria is Deadly Sick, She Does Her Best in Order Not to Hurt Her Son Augustin. Because Augustin Comes to Her to See His Mother Bohwa (Tcheonzamun 673rd-688th)
Authors: Kim Sangdeog Augustin
Published: July 2023

French Missionary Dallet (1874) wrote in his book that ‘The thousand character essay’ was utilized as a textbook for the instructing Chinese children in ancient China. There are two methods for translation of ‘Thousand character essay’. The thousand character essay is in Korea called as ‘Tcheonzamun’. The first translating method is through Korean pronunciation of Chinese characters on Tcheonzamun, the second through the meaning of Chinese character. This time, the present researcher tried to translate the Tcheonzamun poem (Tcheonzamun 673rd-688th). This is the first translation method, and this poem is translated through Korean pronunciation of Chinese character in Tcheonzamun. The title of this work is ‘Even though Mother Bohwa Maria is deadly sick, she does her best in order not to hurt her son Augustin. Because Augustin comes to her to see his mother Bohwa (Tcheonzamun 673rd-688th)’. The theme of this Tcheonzamun poem is as follows. 685-688 勞(Lo) 謙(Gyeom) 謹(Geun) 勅(Teui). 685-688 勞(Lo)-力= 冖火火 謙(Gyeom)-言=兼 謹(Geun)-言=菫 勅(Teui)-力=來. My husband! Do you want to make really (火) the great problem (火) between you and me (your wife) (兼) in our home (冖)? My husband, I am always waiting for you on our home. If you come (來) rarely (菫) to our home to meet me your wife, it would be so. My husband! If you do something rarely, it is not always good.

The current study aimed to obtain a calcium-containing, biocompatible drug based on chitosan Bombyx mori. Composites of Chitosan (CS) Bombyx mori with hydroxyapatite (HA) in the ratio of CS/HA = 50:50 mass percentage were synthesized in situ conditions at Ca/P = 1.67 mol% with intensive stirring for one hour at a speed of 1400 rpm and a temperature of 40 ± 2ºС. It was revealed that the components form an intermediate complex through –N-Ca, O-Ca, O (glycosidic bond)–Ca, H–O-bonds interacted by electrostatic forces. Atomic force microscopy studies indicated particles in the 100-50 nm size range on the polymer matrix surface. The polymer matrix prevented the growth of HA crystals and particle agglomeration. It was also determined that the CS/HA composite was non-toxic, and the LD50 was more than 5000 mg/kg. The composites were introduced into the chickens’ diet in groups for 30 days at 25 to 40 mg/kg doses. The findings indicated an increased survival rate of chickens by 100%, improved the morphological parameters of the blood, and enhanced the contents of calcium, phosphorus, and hemoglobin. The addition of CS/HA=50:50 mass percentage contributed to an increase in the number of erythrocytes in the blood of broilers and hemoglobin by 11-12%. It should be noted that CS/HA did not adversely affect other morphological parameters of chicken blood. Therefore, CS/HA is recommended for the prevention of osteoporosis and osteomalacia in broiler chickens.

The rhizomes of Cyperus (C.) alternifolius, Echinochloa (E.) pyramidalis, Typha (T.) angustifolia, and Imperata (I.) cylindrica are rich in secondary metabolites and have diverse pharmacological activities. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of dietary C. alternifolius, E. pyramidalis, T. angustifolia, and I. cylindrical rhizomes on the performance of broiler chickens. A total of 384 day-old chicks were randomly assigned to six treatment groups (each treatment replicated four times). The first group received a basal diet (negative control), and the second group received a basal diet with 1 gr of antibiotic (Doxicycline, positive control). Other groups received a basal diet with 2 gr of each phyto-additives/kg feed. The results revealed that treatments had no significant effects on feed intake and carcass yield in chickens. The C. alternifolius and T. angustifolia significantly increased live weight and weight gain, and decreased feed conversion ratio, compared to negative control. The addition of C. alternifolius, T. angustifolia, and I. cylindrica to broilers’ diet significantly increased the apparent digestibility of dry matter and crude protein, compared to the negative control. Compared to the negative control, the lactic acid bacteria count significantly increased with the incorporation of T. angustifolia and I. cylindrica. The granulocytes count and globulins concentration were not affected by the different treatments. However, the lymphocyte count was significantly decreased with the diet containing E. pyramidalis compared to the negative and positive controls, and the diets containing C. alternifolius and T. angustifolia. The spleen and bursa weights and volumes significantly increased in all groups of chickens fed on phyto-additives, compared to the negative control. Except for haematocrit, which significantly increased with C. alternifolius and T. angustifolia in the treatments compared to the negative control, the feed additives did not significantly affect the hematological parameters. Compared to the negative control, T. angustifolia and I. cylindrica significantly increased HDL-cholesterol concentration in broiler chickens’ serum, while all treatment groups were comparable for all the other biochemical parameters. Incorporating 2 g of C. alternifolius and T. angustifolia in broiler chickens’ feed improves feed digestibility, enhances the population of lactic acid bacteria in the gut, and causes subsequent improvement in growth performance.

This research aims to obtain effective learning methods for children with special needs because education is essentially the right of every child of the nation, including children with special needs. This study uses descriptive qualitative, namely with the aim of explaining and providing an overview of the events that exist in the field. By using a descriptive qualitative method, the researcher obtained the result that children with special needs need to first identify their learning methods and then enter into creative exploratory processes to increase the absorption of material provided by teaching staff for children with special needs. To get maximum results, teaching staff need to evaluate students whether they can receive the material well or not. By using these three methods the researcher found that students with special needs could absorb knowledge more quickly compared to learning methods that were more based on theory.

This study aims to obtain information and analyze the law regarding the duties and authorities of the corruption eradication commission in corruption crimes carried out by state administrators based on Law No. 19 of 2019 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 30 of 2002 concerning the Corruption Eradication Commission. Using the approach method in this study is a normative juridical approach. The formulation of the problem in this study is: What are the Duties and Authorities of the KPK in Corruption Crimes carried out by State administrators? and What is the punishment for state administrators who commit criminal acts of corruption? So far, what has happened in Indonesia has involved state administrators who carry out executive, legislative and judicial duties by abusing their power in various activities and / or actions in a hidden and systematic manner, to obtain benefits for personal or group interests. This is clearly contradictory in Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution which implies that the State does not use power for extravagance and a luxurious lifestyle, thereby promoting the general welfare. In its development there is an emphasis that the State does not use power for extravagance and lavish lifestyles, thereby promoting the general welfare. In its development, there is an emphasis that corruption is an act of abuse of power or public position for private interests

Published: July 2023

A busca por testes cada vez mais específicos para avaliar atletas têm sido alvo de estudos científicos nas ultimas décadas. Neste sentido, o teste de corrida de Carminatti (T-CAR) foi proposto em 2004 com intuito de avaliar a aptidão aeróbia de atletas de esportes com características intermitentes, como os esportes coletivos. A principal variável obtida neste teste de campo é o pico de velocidade (PV) que representa a velocidade aeróbia máxima. Por sua vez, o consumo máximo de oxigênio (VO2max) é considerado como o índice fisiológico que melhor representa a potência do metabolismo aeróbio. A possibilidade do PV obtido pelo T-CAR estimar o VO2max ainda não foi analisada na literatura. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi propor uma equação matemática para predizer o VO2max a partir do desempenho obtido no T-CAR. Participaram do estudo 45 jogadores de futebol e futsal provenientes de equipes profissionais do estado de Santa Catarina. Os jogadores foram avaliados em duas ocasiões sendo uma em laboratório (teste incremental de corrida em esteira rolante), e um em campo (teste incremental intermitente no sistema vai-e-vem – T-CAR). Ambos os testes foram conduzidos até a exaustão voluntária. No teste realizado em laboratório, o VO2max foi obtido de forma direta utilizando um analisador de gases.  As médias de valores encontrados entre os participantes do estudo foi de 59,1±4,8 ml.kg-1.min-1 (VO2max) e de 16,5±0,9 km.h-1 para o PV do T-CAR. A análise de regressão linear utilizando o PV obtido no T-CAR resultou na seguinte equação de predição: VO2max= 16,6 + 2,59*PV (r=0,46; p=0,001) e um erro padrão de estimativa de 4,3 ml.kg-1.min-1. Assim, conclui-se que o pico de velocidade obtido no T-CAR pode ser utilizado, ainda que com alguma cautela, como preditor do VO2max em atletas de futebol e futsal.

Towards Net-Zero Energy Consumption with Near Net-Zero Initial Cost: A Case Study from Georgia, USA
Authors: Abaza Hussein , Al Shenawa Amaal
Published: July 2023

This research presents a case study of a single-family home in Georgia, United States, that achieves near net-zero energy costs for the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system with near-zero additional capital investment. Building information modeling (BIM), energy analysis, and practical common construction practices were integrated to trade-off between design and construction alternatives to achieve these results. An accelerated number of publications addressed net-zero energy buildings (NZEB). Much of this research addresses means and methods to make buildings produce as much energy as they consume (net-zero site or building energy) or make buildings produce energy and sell it to offset the buildings’ energy bills (net-zero cost). However, NZEBs still constitute a small fraction of the building industry, which is mainly due to higher initial costs, significant deviations from common construction practices, or altering common building operations and comfort levels. In this research, a practical approach for achieving NZEB was tested and used in constructing a single-family home. BIM software that generates annual energy consumption with every design alternative was used during the design and construction phases of this home. The BIM model was also used to generate building materials quantities to estimate the initial construction cost. In this case study, the initial construction cost of the selected design was less than that of comparable homes in the same area. The post-occupancy evaluation showed that the annual energy consumption related to heating and cooling was 72% less than that of comparable homes in the same area. Energy consumption related to hot water consumption was 21% less, and energy consumption for lighting was reduced by 22%. In conclusion, general design guidelines and lessons learned are established to help the residential building industry adopt energy-efficient design and construction approaches to reduce energy consumption in homes without increasing the listed prices of homes.
Re-configuring the Rights to Education Through Play with Painting and Clay Modelling among Children Affected by the Psychosocial Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Ogutu Wanyama
Published: July 2023

The devastating COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in the closure of all schools for nearly a year, violated articles 43(1)f, 53(1)b, and 55(a) of Kenya’s 2010 constitution on the right to education. The Government of Kenya deprived UNDP-SGDs (2015) of goals on quality education and UNICEF (2018); Every Child Learns when enforcing the social distance policy, a direction of World Health Organization (WHO) (2020) preventive measures. Before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, UNICEF (2018) cautioned that any attempt to inhibit child learning’s welfare, such as play, would harm growth and development in early childhood. Modern educationalists have asserted that play with art plays a role in cognitive and social learning as an extension of recreation and elaboration of their conflicts. The paper aims to reconfigure rights to education on play with paintings and clay modelling among children affected by the psychosocial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The researcher has focused on descriptive desktop research design art bases research activities such as playing with painting and clay modelling; it has examined the literature on psychoanalysis tools to create a discussion on the paper. The paper acknowledged the mission of WHO (2020), UNDP-SDGs (2015), UNICEF (2018), and Article 53(1)d of the Kenyan 2010 Constitution on Good Health for All Children. It has merited play with painting and clay modelling as a profound tool to re-configure rights to education among children affected by the psychosocial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, the paper suggested a campaign workshop or seminars for play with painting and clay modelling to champion the right to education among children in schools
Delivery of Non-Academic Student Support Services by Staff at Kyambogo University
Authors: Nakimuli Agnes
Published: July 2023

Non-academic student support services significantly contribute to supporting and enhancing students’ academic, social and welfare experiences, thereby supporting their subsequent success in higher education. Students’ activities at the university go beyond the lecture room setting since they spend 70% of their time out of the lecture room. Hence, higher education institutions should promote what happens outside of the lecture room in order to enhance positive behaviour amongst students, which will contribute to responsible citizenship in the nation. Staff in student affairs departments are key in assisting students in their experiences outside the classroom. However, as a result of changes in higher education, the roles of these staff have become broad, complex, non-specific, dynamic, and comprehensive yet there is declining funding and staffing. Hence, an understanding of how they deliver the services is vital to the effectiveness of the institution. Higher education institutions endeavour to provide the services, but the ways the services are delivered continue to be overlooked and hence not well understood. This study presents one of the latest findings of a recent study done in Uganda on the delivery of non-academic student support services by staff at Kyambogo University. The study aimed at exploring how the staff deliver non-academic student support services at Kyambogo University. It employed a qualitative approach that involved 11 staff purposively selected from the units that deliver non-academic student support services. The findings revealed three key aspects in the delivery of the services by staff; policy guidelines, management roles and capacity building. The staff made use of both internal and external policies and guidelines and carried out training for both staff and students. This study also revealed that the effective delivery of the services was hindered by inadequate funding, which affects other services like staffing and facilities. Staff revealed that in order to navigate the challenges, they worked with other departments in the university and student leaders. I therefore, recommend that the management of Kyambogo University ensures that the delivery of the services is clearly understood by all stakeholders; this will help in its improvement. Further, policies should not only be formulated but also be well implemented, and find alternative sources of funding like engaging in public-private partnerships and outsourcing services like halls of residence in order to improve funding in the university. In addition, it is essential that staff receive adequate training and support to effectively deliver non-academic student support services
Bayesian Inference for a New Negative Binomial-Samade Model for Time Series Data Counts with Its Properties and Applications
Authors: Aryuyuen Sirinapa , Thaimsorn Issaraporn , Tonggumnead Unchalee
Published: July 2023

A new distribution was developed that mixed the negative binomial (NB) and Samade distributions, called the negative binomial-Samade (NB-SA) distribution. The properties of this distribution were studied, and the newly created distribution was applied using the framework of generalized linear models to build a time series data count model. The characteristics of overdispersion and heavy-tailed distribution of the count response variables were applied in the actual dataset modeling. Distribution parameters and the regression coefficient were estimated using a Bayesian approach. Results showed that the NB-SA model had significantly the highest efficiency compared with the classical NB and Poisson models for analyzing factors influencing the daily number of COVID-19 deaths in Thailand.
actuaciones de dotación: su aplicación en la Comunidad de Madrid
Authors: Fernández Gerardo Roger
Published: July 2023

Las Actuaciones de Dotación son unos instrumentos de gestión urbanística de necesaria y solvente aplicación en la intervención en la ciudad consolidada incorporados al marco jurídico español por la originaria Ley de Suelo 8/2007, hoy recogidos Texto Refundido 7/2015,

Así, en los procesos de crecimiento en el suelo urbano-urbanizado definido por parcelas-solares en régimen de Actuaciones Aisladas, las Actuaciones de Dotación posibilitan la obtención pública y gratuita de los suelos dotacionales y del porcentaje público de plusvalías que se derivan del incremento de aprovechamiento urbanístico atribuido sobre el preexistente anterior, incremento que genera ese crecimiento, aplicando, al fin, el principio básico del sistema urbanístico español de reparto de cargas y beneficios en el suelo urbano, principio que sorprendente y lamentablemente no se aplicaba en el suelo urbanizado hasta la entrada en vigor de la Ley de Suelo 8/2007.

Sin embargo, también resulta sorprendente que tanto su contenido conceptual como sus determinaciones aplicativas son escasamente conocidas por una gran parte de los operadores urbanos. Esta lamentable situación se podría explicar en la larga e importante paralización de la actividad urbanística acaecida a partir de la crisis financiera e inmobiliaria ocasionada por la “explosión de la burbuja” en el año 2008 coincidiendo, en la práctica, con la entrada en vigor de la nueva Ley de Suelo, prorrogada posteriormente por la pandemia, lo que supuso un cierto desistimiento profesional en conocer la parafernalia jurídica que comportaban los originales instrumentos de gestión incorporados por la nueva Ley de Suelo, dejación que llegó a afectar también a la Universidad.

Pues bien, con explícita finalidad pedagógica se formula este artículo destinado a despejar las dudas e incógnitas que esta institución aún pudiera suscitar en la actualidad de la práctica urbanística y, en concreto, a su aplicación en la Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid.

The AKP's Syria Policy and the Emergence of Competitive Authoritarianism in Turkey
Authors: Sarlis Michalis
Published: July 2023

The turbulence of Turkish domestic politics in 2015–16 coincided with the unraveling of the government’s hyperactive policy in Syria and the expansion of Kurdish forces there under the People’s Defense Units (YPG). This article argues that, since 2016, Turkey’s Syria policy has been transformed into an infinite war against the YPG. This perpetual militarization has created an environment where Turkish domestic politics can be restructured in the name of national security, maximizing presidential power and accelerating the country’s slide toward competitive authoritarianism. This process has also reshaped the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), which has shifted further toward nationalism and entered into a symbiotic relationship with the military.
Arab Media Portrayals of Anti-Uyghur Repression: Chinese Propaganda, Anti-Islamist Anxiety, and Anti-Westernism
Authors: Cochrane-Dyet Will
Published: July 2023

China is looked upon warmly in the Arab world. Allegations about extreme human rights abuses by the Chinese government of Muslim populations in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, however, put the durability of this popularity into question. This article uses Arabic-language media sources to illuminate Beijing's efforts to neutralize this controversy for Arab audiences and the nature of the debate around the topic in the Arab media sphere. Widely sympathetic coverage reflects a synergy between Beijing's propaganda efforts and anxiety about Islamism among Arab regimes. In addition, this article argues that the leitmotif of anti-Westernism in Arab media suggests China's reputation reaps considerable reward from the fraught legacies of Western involvement in the Arab world.

Consumer Perception and Acceptance Across Different Scales of Vertical Farming in Klang Valley
Authors: Ayamany Kartigha , Azizan Suzana Ariff
Published: July 2023

To fulfil specific social and ecological goals, urban planners have started to view cities as sites for food production due to the world's increasing urbanisation and population growth. A large urban population can accommodate a bigger population. However, it is necessary to do so while reducing the expense of essential services. Town zones need the most intensive efforts, but they also provide the advantage of integrating local food production facilities into development owing to the high concentration of consumers. With the Malaysian government promoting urban farming initiatives, urban residents in affected communities will be able to explore vertical farming activities as a source of income. Thus, this study explores consumer insights on the awareness and purchasing habits of vertical farming products and systems. In specific, this study determines the fundamental drivers behind the implementation of three separate vertical farming systems as well as the behavioural intent of consumers to acquire either the items produced by these systems or the systems themselves. A quantitative survey involving 410 respondents from the Klang Valley was carried out. Structural equation modelling was used as the analysis method in this study. The findings reveal that customer acceptability of vertical farming systems is mostly influenced by their perceived usefulness. Greater accessibility and functionality increase the possibility that the technology will be accepted by consumers. This study will accommodate further research into the viability of vertical farms operating at various scales based on the needs and financial capabilities of a region.

Gaining a comprehensive understanding of TLE teachers' professional landscape in Philippine public schools is essential for addressing the challenges and maximizing the opportunities they face. This study examines the challenges and opportunities encountered by TLE teachers in Philippine Public Schools, focusing on Region 10. Employing a thematic analysis approach following Saldana's framework, six TLE teachers from Junior and Senior High Schools were interviewed. The participants identified Human, Pedagogical, and Material issues as the primary problems they faced in their classes. Pedagogically, they struggled with implementing effective teaching approaches and sustaining students' interest. To address these concerns and enhance student learning, the teachers utilized their funds, extended their services, and sought support from stakeholders. They also recognized vocational training as an opportunity to improve their teaching. The study underscores the resilience and innovation exhibited by TLE teachers in overcoming these challenges. Their resourcefulness, commitment, and ability to leverage personal resources and engage stakeholders played a crucial role in mitigating the identified problems. Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of comprehensive support systems and policies to foster professional development and enhance the quality of TLE education in Philippine Public Schools.
Teaching English Using podcasts
Authors: Parinos Nana
Published: July 2023

The paper shows a new method of improving listening skills through podcasts. According to the experiment made at Caucasus International University, Georgia and the project completed in Denver, Colorado USA (Bridge Education Group) it became obvious that a student creating their own podcast is getting increasingly motivated to take their listening skills to the next level. The feedback of the activity showed that before making a podcast a student can be given some vocabulary for building their story or they can search for the vocabulary themselves. In both case they have to create a plot. The process takes a lot time energy and a great many procedures. The final step demonstrated that the experiment should be introduced into the teaching plans on a regular basis.

Published: July 2023

The aim of this study is to analyze the four most common collocation types found in seventh- through ninth-grade English textbooks (verb-noun, adjective-noun, verb-preposition, and adjective-preposition), with a primary focus on the reading texts. The research aimed to develop pedagogical guidelines relevant to the communicative paradigm and eclecticism, as a result. This study used a descriptive-analytical research design, specifically a content analysis method, to identify the accented collocations throughout a set of junior high school English textbooks. It was discovered that only 9% collocations out of the vocabulary found in the textbooks is present in the three books, while only 1% is found in Band II of the Revised English Curriculum of the Ministry of Education (2013), which includes all possible collocations for intermediate level learners (from the seventh to the ninth grades). Implications for the classroom were drawn from the research.

Changes in the human environment, behavior, and lifestyle are contributing to the upsurge in the incidence of diabetes. However, better management has resulted in a longer survival of patients with diabetes, but it is accompanied by long-term chronic complications due to hyperglycemia. Individuals with diabetes most often die of cardiovascular disease (CVD) rather than from a cause uniquely related to diabetes, such as ketoacidosis or hypoglycemia. Diabetic patients have a twofold to six-fold higher incidence of cardiovascular disease than nondiabetic population. Furthermore, diabetic patients with CVD sustain a worse prognosis for survival than CVD patients without diabetes and their quality of life also depreciates. Therefore, diabetes has been considered as having a risk equivalent to a nondiabetic patient with preexisting heart disease. Identification of patients at risk for CVD could felicitate the prevention or retardation of cardiovascular events. The management of CVD prevention and the problem associated with it needs intensified monitoring by pharmacist.

The primary global source of water pollution is textile dyes. Highly stable organic dyes are produced by these industries that are released untreated into nearby ponds, lakes and rivers. This paper is devoted to synthesis of nickle doped anatase phase of TiO2 nanoparticles (Ni-ATD NPs) by encapsulating plant Tinospora cordifolia (TC) through microwave assisted method for degradation of malachite green (MG) dye. The synthesized NPs were calcinated at 400 oC temperature to achieve the anatase phase. The synthesized Ni-ATD NPs were analysed with different characterization methods. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman analysis confirmed the crystalline nature for Ni-ATD NPs with a tetragonal structure having crystallite size of 11 nm. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) determined the spherical surface morphology for synthesized NPs. The absorption peaks of Ni-ATD NPs were originated from 360 to 370 nm from UV-Visible spectroscopy in which the bandgap was found to be 3.45 eV. The photocatalytic activity for MG dye was evaluated under ultra-violet (UV) light using Ni-ATD NPs for 90 minutes which exhibited the degradation up to 100 %.

Authors: Podungge Abdul Madjid
Published: July 2023

This article aims to analyze and describe the Village Fund governance process during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Pancuran Village, South Suwawa District. The method used in this article is a qualitative descriptive method, using adata analysis which is an interactive model analysis consisting of three components of analysis namely: 1) Data reduction; 2) Presentation of data; 3) Verification of Data and Conclusion Drawings. The results of the article show that: 1) The transparency of village fund management during the Covid-19 pandemic in Pancuran Village has proven to be quite effective. This is due to the monitoring system carried out by various parties ranging from the Village Consultative Board, Village Facilitators, the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia, and the community. 2) Accountability of village fund management during the Covid-19 pandemic in Pancuran village has not been optimal. This is due to the budget shift policy during the Covid 19 pandemic which did not touch all communities who were entitled to receive BLT Village Funds. 3) Participation in village fund management during  the Covid-19 pandemic in Pancuran village has not been optimal, because the village government has not been optimal in updating DTKS data to identify people who are eligible to receive BLT, subsidies, capital assistance and various other programs; 4) The principle of order and budget discipline during the Covid-19 pandemic in Pancuran Village has been running well, caused by village apparatus management that continues to coordinate BLT budget shifts during the pandemic.

This study aims to evaluate the adsorption characteristics of unmodified natural rice husk particles (sizes of 74, 177, and 500 μm) in adsorbing dyes in wastewater. The adsorption isotherm analysis was performed in batch mode. Turmeric was selected as a model for organic dyes. Ten isotherm models were used to predict and determine the characteristic parameters: Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Flory-Huggins, Fowler-Guggenheim, Hill-de-Boer, Jovanovic, Harkin Jura, and Halsey isotherm models. The adsorption isotherm analysis showed the phenomena that occur during adsorption are physical, with multilayer formation on the surface of the adsorbent and the occurrence of adsorbate-adsorbate repulsive interaction. The pore-filling molecules occur at the largest and medium particle sizes, whereas the small particle size has no pore-filling molecules. This study reveals that the natural rice husk (unmodified) could be employed as a low-cost and effective sorbent for wastewater treatment, supporting current issues in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Published: July 2023

Sound source localization (SSL) is a process of processing sound signals received from sound sensors and locating the sound origin. In many applications, precise localization of these sound sources is crucial. The accuracy of the localization of the sound source depends on several factors, and one of the factors is the number of sound sensors. This work aims to develop a microcontroller-based sound sensor localization system using the Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) method, as well as to analyze SSL by comparing the time difference received by two and three sound sensors with respect to the distance of sound, and to compare the angle accuracy of the sound localization through TDOA with the real sound location. A few experimental tests were conducted using a constant sound of 90db and a frequency range of sound of 50Hz to 10kHz. The mean error (inaccuracy) of the experimental test of the angle acquired within 5cm of the source is 34.66°, while the angle obtained within 10cm of the source is 34.29°. The difference in angle inaccuracy between two and three sensors has a reduction of 27.64%. By adding more sound sensors, angle accuracy can be increased through the TDOA method.
