Efficacy of PBL Approach in Bahraini Context: Views and Reflections
Authors: Aljalahma A. Alzayed
Published: September 2023

Purpose: After the implementation of Alzayed's research (2016), another research on the efficacy of PBL in the High school in Bahraini context was conducted using the same participants of Alzayed's research (2016). That was for two main reasons: First is to find out the process behind how students on the PBL scheme learn. The second is to detect if it has any positive or negative effect on them.

Methodology: This paper adopted a qualitative approach and semi-structured interviews of twenty-four students, two teachers, and three curriculum specialists.

Findings: Its main findings reflect that students who were taught Islamic Education (IE) under the umbrella of the PBL scheme, their critical thinking skills were significantly reinforced as much as the delivered knowledge which was smoothly adopted without any need to be forced or pressurized through the learning process. Simply, they were able to learn the information effortlessly. This research concludes that the PBL scheme was successful as students developed confidence in learning which enabled them to have positive attitudes towards learning.  Although students had to adjust themselves to the different teaching and learning methods, they were able to work together positively and fruitfully. This research explored that students have good ambitions after using the PBL scheme.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study recommends that the Ministry of Education consider this by introducing the scheme as an effective and positive process to be used for students to learn and achieve better outcomes. Moreover, this research adds value to the PBL in the context of Islamic education in Bahrain as well as ensuring its effectiveness in learning and developing skills.

GOVERNING THE WARS; THEORY, LEGISLATION, HUMAN RIGHTS, HUMAN SECURITY, AND ETHICS
Authors: HADŽİĆ Faruk
Published: September 2023

The study indicates wartime programmed violence's implications within the liberal interpretation of contemporary legislative and human rights debates. It discusses related war theories and practices, problematizing instrumentalization of instilling new global ethics, arguing that humanitarian interventions often became "usable" in the new millennium's geopolitics; wars fatally affect the innocent. It points out that the origins of democracy are structurally violent and that the threat of terrorism, in addition to revealing new forms of "democratic violence," is having a transformative effect on the very character of democracy. How the concept of just cause agrees with armed humanitarian intervention, and whether we have the right to impose democracy by force? Whether the theory of just war in its positivist-legalist paradigm that combines universalist principles with utilitarian harm-weighing versus profit can offer a comprehensive method of morally contemplating current wars. The distinction between liberal cosmopolitan arguments and social democratic ones is apparent. The arbitrariness and the imposition of individual states' views create issues, leading to fragility (human security, socioeconomics, economic development, health). The compulsory international focus and responsibility should incorporate critical medical (children) - "the right to health" and humanitarian goods. Implementing rules to control war's destructiveness is less effective in intercultural conflicts. The doctrine of "just war" application is questionable, and no new victim should suffer even when the goal of the intervention is entirely legitimate and "humane." It cannot be just that it will exempt intervention forces from applying international humanitarian law, nor does the legitimacy of the intervention exempt them from respect for international humanitarian law. The international law concept has evolved from an instrument of promoting peace to an agent of the violent argument of force realization. Ethics is often imposed as politics; human rights ethics transformed into war ethics, leading to human rights violations and civilian casualties. War justice and the moral paradigm within globalization's contemporary forms are questioned. A broader discussion of the assumptions of the universality of Western values that have driven international law for centuries is required.
Role of macroeconomic indicators in Uganda’s food price inflation: a VECM approach
Authors: WAİSWA Denis
Published: September 2023

This study was conducted to empirically examine the potential impact of macroeconomic indicators such as exchange rate, GDP, money supply, and food exports on Uganda’s food price inflation. The study employed the Johansen cointegration analysis and VEC model using quarterly data from 2000Q1 to 2022Q1. Outcomes of the analysis show that all variables are positive and statistically significant in influencing food prices in the long run except GDP which was negative and significant. However, in the short run, only GDP and the lag of food CPI were significant and influenced food prices positively. Based on the variance decomposition analysis and the very low R-squared value (0.2493), it can be concluded that food prices in Uganda are greatly influenced by factors other than macroeconomic indicators. These factors include changes in the weather pattern which lead to low food supplies, price transmission effects of rising food and fuel prices in the international markets, increased domestic food demand, and higher costs of imported production inputs. Therefore, while it is necessary to recognize the role of macroeconomic indicators in food price inflation, it is equally important to emphasize the role played by these other factors in determining food prices in Uganda for effective policy implementations.

Molecular Origin of the CO2-Enhanced Water Wetting During Corrosion of an Oil Layer-Attached Steel Surface in Water Flows
Authors: Ouyang Jialu , Wang Xixi , Zheng Dajiang , Zhang Jian , Wang Zi Ming
Published: September 2023

To understand the role of CO2 in multiphase flow corrosion, the durability of an oil layer attached to a steel surface against fluid flows was systematically evaluated. It confirms that CO2 can destabilize the protective oil layer and initiate electrochemical corrosion through the oil layer, showing a solution chemistry governed flow dependency. The CO2-induced oil layer rupture was attributed to the water droplet actions at the oil/water interface and the steel surface, where the generation of microdroplets was facilitated by the interactions between the dissolved CO2 and the oil molecules. It gives new insights into the replacement of oil layer by water in CO2-containing multiphase fluids, which benefits many application fields, such as corrosion and lubrication in oil-water mixed environments.
Influence of Mechanical Torsion on MgCa1 Corrosion Behavior in Simulated Body Fluid
Authors: Serafin Daria , Świderska Malwina , Klimek Joanna , Kwiatkowski Lech , Sitek Ryszard , Wierzba Bartek
Published: September 2023

In this paper, the influence of mechanical torsion on the corrosion of MgCa1 alloy in simulated body fluid (SBF) is presented. The corrosion behavior is examined by microstructural observations, including a scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy dispersive spectroscopy detector and electrochemical studies, mainly impedance spectroscopy measurements and polarization curves. The experiments were performed for different time durations (4 h to 8 h) with and without torsion applied (within elastic deformation range in the form of rotary movements) to assign the differences between the corrosion behavior of the samples. It is shown that mechanical torsion (rotations) promotes the leaching of calcium from the grain boundaries in the samples, which decreases the overall alloy corrosion rate. On the other hand, grain boundaries leached out of calcium compounds influence the sample microstructure by enabling cracks formation and propagation. Therefore, rotated samples corroded at a lower rate but were more susceptible to catastrophic failure. It was then concluded that MgCa1 alloy may be a promising biodegradable material for medical implants, however, its durability in SBF with torsion applied is far from being satisfactory.
Toward High-Pitting Resistance and Low-Cost Austenitic Stainless Steel: The Role of Carbon Alloying
Authors: Zheng Kangkang , Dai Wei , Suo Donghua , Fang Zhe , Jiang Yiming , Li Jin , Wang Zhiyu , Sun Yangting
Published: September 2023

This article investigates the pitting resistance of a newly developed Fe-Cr-Mn-N austenitic stainless steel with 0.14 wt% carbon and its counterpart with 0.02 wt% carbon. By using especially hot-rolled bimetal specimens, we focus on the pitting behavior near the interface between the two alloys and demonstrate that solid solution carbon can significantly improve pitting resistance. The alloyed carbon increases the passive film stability, but the more fundamental reason is that carbon suppresses the active dissolution rate of the matrix, thereby inhibiting the kinetics of pitting growth. These results will highlight the use of carbon alloying in austenitic stainless steel to provide more cost-effective materials with improved corrosion resistance and mechanical strength for the construction industry.

Published: September 2023

Objective: Toassesspatients' awareness andattitude towardsintra-articulartherapy.Todetermine the frequency of refusal among patients who were offered intra-articularsteroid injections and to identify the variousreasons for this refusal. Method: This was a cross-sectional study done at the Rheumatology CMH Lahore outpatient clinic from 1st June to 31st July 2022. A total of 204 patients 16 years or above who were potential candidates for intraarticular corticosteroids (IACS) or who had received injections in the past were asked about their knowledge, beliefs, and consent for intra-articular injections as per pre-defined questionnaire. Results: Out of the total 204 patients, 34% refused to get the intra-articular injection. Their major concern was fear of injection, dependence, and only temporary pain relief. Consent was directly correlated with disease severity as determined by pain visual analogue score (VAS) and affected activities of daily living (ADLs), and physician guidance (p=0.001). A negative review from a relative or a personal bad experience leads to rejection of IACS (p=0.001). Those who did not have prior knowledge of IACS, and its response variability agreed more (p=0.01). Conclusion: The patients' fear of dependency, partial effectiveness, and pain were major concerns that lead to the refusal of IACS in almost one-third of the patients. Information gathered from different sources apart from doctors misleads the patients.

Industrial policies in Africa have been characterized with the problem of government. Government has various tools to influence the market, government creates rules and frameworks in which businesses compete against each other from time to time, the government will now change these rules and framework forcing businesses to change the way they operate. Due to these reasons, the objectives of the study were to examine the influence of industrial estate on venture creation, to determine the impact of policy implementation on firm’s production capacity, thirdly, to investigate the effect of public health policy on business growth. The ex-post facto method was employed. The population consists of the employees of pharmaceutical industry in Lagos, Nigeria. Slovin Sample size determination formula was adopted to determine the sample size. The data was analyzed using manual and electronic based methods through the data preparation grid and statistical package for the social sciences, (SPSS). Linear regression and ANOVA method was employed. The study found out that Industrial estate has a positive influence on venture creation such that industrial estate affected venture creation. Findings from hypothesis two shows a positive relationship between policy implementation and firm production capacity. The result of hypothesis three revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between public health policy and business growth. Thus, the study recommends that government should continue to play their regulatory role in the promotion of industrial policies in the country and also business organizations should also obey and implement public health policies.
Guidelines for disclosure of traditional medicine use to allopathic medicine practitioners by patients who use both traditional and allopathic medicines at selected hospitals in Gauteng, South Africa
Authors:   , Gumede Lindiwe
Published: September 2023

Background Within the South African context, the concurrent use of traditional medicine (TM) and allopathic medicine (AM) is often not disclosed to allopathic medicine practitioners (AMPs) during a consultation. It is quite common for patients to consult with traditional health practitioners (THPs) prior to reaching out to AMPs for further assistance. When compared to AM, TM used by patients who use both TM and AM has on many occasions been perceived as a sub-standard treatment option. Non-disclosure of TM use by patients who use both TM and AM may render the AM prescribed by the AMPs ineffective if not detected in a timely manner. While there is literature that identifies the reasons why patients who use both TM and AM do not disclose this to AMPs during a consultation, no guidelines have been developed to focus on facilitating disclosure by these patients. Aim The aim of the research was to explore and describe the perceptions of AMPs regarding disclosure of TM use to AMPs by patients who use both TM and AM and ultimately to develop guidelines for disclosure of TM use to AMPs at selected hospitals in Gauteng. Methodology An exploratory, descriptive, qualitative research design was employed. The opinions of AMPs who met the non-probability, purposive sampling inclusion criteria were explored and described. Data was gathered through one-on-one, masked semi-structured interviews and qualitative observations of AMPs in their natural environment. The findings were triangulated and integrated with Petronio's communication privacy management (CPM) theory as a theoretical framework informing the study to help delineate correspondence concerning the phenomenon. Findings The findings of the one-on-one, semi-structured interviews reveal that the practice of AMPs in Gauteng regarding the concurrent use of TM and AM by patients they consult with is limited by their knowledge of the TM used by these patients. Secondary elements of non-disclosure include stigma, AMP attitudes, AMP training, belief systems, lack of knowledge, lack of communication skills, scoffing at TM and prejudice. The research findings prompted the development of guidelines and recommendations for stakeholders involved in patient care and management in Gauteng.
The effectiveness of pain neuroscience education in the treatment of recreational marathon runners with chronic running related knee injuries
Authors:   , Naidoo Tyren
Published: September 2023

Background: Running has a long history as a mode of exercise and in recent years the popularity of running has increased especially in South Africa. However, it may have adverse short- and long-term effects through running-related injuries. For marathon runners, one of the most common consequences of this is injury to the knee joint complex. Recreational runners presenting with injuries have partially recovered from their injury yet continue to experience pain. Which emphasises the necessity for treatment to be more comprehensively through a biopsychosocial model Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) component, where a greater understanding of how the nervous system processes injury and pain is utilised. Aim: To assess the effectiveness of Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) combined with chiropractic care versus chiropractic care alone for the reduction of pain due to chronic running-related knee pain in recreational marathon runners within the eThekwini Municipality. Methodology: The study used a quantitative randomised controlled single-blinded design, in which the participants were blinded. The study design followed a phase II randomised clinical trial. Recreational marathon runners from the eThekwini region, both male or female, between the ages of 18 and 65, were recruited for this study. Participants were randomly assigned and received either Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) and chiropractic care or chiropractic care only. Both Group 1 and 2 had a sample size of 23 each, with a total sample size of 46 participants. Data was captured on a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and imported into SPSS version 27 for analysis. Results: There was no significant difference between the intervention and control group, with respect to Pain Catastrophization Scale (PCS), and the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) recordings. However, both the Intervention and control group under analysis showed a decrease in their Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NRS) readings, where the control group showed a higher mean score (decrease) over time compared to the PNE (intervention group). Conclusion: Chronic running-related knee pain did not change significantly. The findings correlate with the complexity of pain in previous PNE studies. Given the anatomical changes associated with running-related knee injuries, it was not surprising that running activities and range of motion did not change significantly either.

Published: September 2023

Technology development is very rapid, so all fields are required to develop technology to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of work. One of the focuses is related to image processing technology. We can benefit from this system, so various fields have implemented image processing systems, such as security, health, and education. One of the current obstacles is safety, namely in searching for people, which is still done manually. Searching for teams to find people is often challenging because of the significant search area, low light conditions, and complex search fields. Therefore, we need a tool capable of detecting humans to assist in finding people. Therefore, to detect human objects, the authors try to research human object detection using a simple device for the human object detection system. The authors use the MobilenetV2-SSD, where this algorithm has high detection and accuracy. Using the mobilenetV2-SSD simulation method for human object recognition, a detection rate of 100% is obtained with an FPS value of 5.

Published: September 2023

In recent years there is a considerable growth and development of automation mainly in industrial sectors. This technological revolution is quickly reducing the need of humans to operate machines. To reduce cost and increase the production rate every industry tries to invent new technology. Bringing automation in the industrial sector is one of them. Automation in the industrial sector reduces human effort, makes the system smooth and also increases productivity. For this tendency every industry wants to design an automatic production process with minimal amount of cost (MAC). The main purpose of this paper is to give an idea about automatic shrink packaging of the final product and sorting technique which reduces the overall packaging and sorting time and also increases productivity. In this project a PLC based low-cost automation cell will be developed for industry. This automation cell combines two different types of work in one frame. One is shrinking packaging of final products and another one is sorting which is done by measuring the size of the product. The purpose of combining two different types of work in frame is to reduce the overall production time. Pneumatic system introduced here for sorting purpose. This pneumatic system works faster than an electric pusher which finally reduces the sorting time. This pneumatic system is also safe from fire hazard where there is a high chance of fire hazard in electric pusher. Sorting is done here by using a double acting cylinder acting as a pneumatic pusher and this cylinder is controlled by a 5/2 Solenoid valve. Here Sorting is done after finishing the packaging of the final product. To perform different tasks in one frame it will be helpful for industry because both labor cost and time will be reduced as well as increased the production rate of industry. By using the PLC whose model name is Siemens S7-200 and using the Micro-WIN software for making the ladder diagram, the entire system will be controlled. The experimental findings demonstrate that the system has high sorting accuracy, is reliable, and satisfies the design specifications.

Abstract. Ambitious methane (CH4) emission mitigation represents one of
the most effective opportunities to slow the rate of global warming over the
next decades. The oil and gas (O&G) sector is a significant source of
methane emissions, with technically feasible and cost-effective emission
mitigation options. Romania, a key O&G producer within the EU, with the
second highest reported annual CH4 emissions from the energy sector in the
year 2020 (Greenhouse Gas Inventory Data - Comparison by Category, 2022), can play an important role towards the EU's emission reduction targets. In this study, we quantify CH4 emissions from onshore oil production sites in Romania at source and facility level using a combination of ground- and drone-based measurement techniques. Measured emissions were characterized by heavily skewed distributions, with 10 % of the sites
accounting for more than 70 % of total emissions. Integrating the results from all site-level quantifications with different approaches, we derive a central estimate of 5.4 kg h−1 per site of CH4 (3.6 %–8.4 %, 95 % confidence interval) for oil production sites. This estimate represents the third highest when compared to measurement-based estimates of similar facilities from other production regions. Based on our results, we estimate a total of 120 kt CH4 yr−1 (range: 79–180 kt yr−1) from oil production sites in our studied areas in Romania. This is approximately 2.5 times higher than the reported emissions from the entire Romanian oil production sector for 2020. Based on the source-level characterization, up to three-quarters of the detected emissions from oil production sites are related to operational venting. Our results suggest that O&G production infrastructure in Romania holds a massive mitigation potential, specifically by implementing measures to capture the gas and minimize operational venting and leaks.
Rainfall enhancement downwind of hills due to standing waves on the melting-level and the extreme rainfall of December 2015 in the Lake District of northwest England
Authors: Carroll Edward
Published: September 2023

Abstract. Flow over orography can be investigated through stationary gravity waves, i.e. those whose speed exactly opposes, and therefore cancels, that of the airstream in which they are embedded. They give rise to persistent zones of ascent and descent, which modulate precipitation patterns and contribute to large accumulations, e.g. through the well-known seeder-feeder mechanism. It is shown here that opposite, stationary waves on the melting-level focus rain, potentially multiplying intensity downwind of hills by a factor of rain fall speed divided by snow fall speed, and that the effect is maximised when the vertical profile near the melting-level is isothermal. A 2D diagnostic model based on linear gravity wave theory is used to investigate the record-breaking rainfall of December 2015 in the Lake District of northwest England. The pattern of vertical velocity is shown to have a good, qualitative fit to that of the Met Office’s operational, high-resolution UKV model averaged over 24 hours, suggesting that orographically excited standing waves were the principal cause of the rain. Precipitation trajectories suggest that a persistent, downstream, elevated wave caused by the Isle of Man maintained a spray of seeding ice particles directed towards the Lake District; that these grew whilst suspended in strong upslope flow before being focussed by the undulating melting-level into intense shafts of rain.

Abstract. Historical rockfall catalogues are important data sources for the investigation of the temporal occurrence of rockfalls, which is crucial
information for rockfall hazard and risk assessments. However, such catalogues are rare and often incomplete. Here, we selected and analysed
seven catalogues of historical rockfalls in Austria, Italy, and the USA to
highlight existing relationships between data collection and mapping methods and representativeness of the resulting rockfall records. Heuristic and simple statistically based frequency analysis methods are applied to describe and compare the different historical rockfall catalogues. Our
results show that the mapping strategy may affect the frequency of the assessed rockfall occurrence and the completeness and representativeness of the related time series of historical rockfalls. We conclude by presenting the advantages and limitations of the application of different frequency-based methods for analysing rockfall catalogues and providing recommendations for rockfall mapping. We furthermore present non-parametric statistical methods for dealing with typically small rockfall datasets, which are particularly suited for the characterization of basic rockfall catalogues. Such recommendations should help in the definition of standards for collecting and using temporal rockfall data in hazard and risk assessments.

Алшақ будандастыруда болатын сәйкессіздік процессі тозаң қапшығындағы тозаң клеткаларының аналық гүл ұлпасына енгеннен кейін әрі қарай өсу, даму сатыларын кешеуілдетеді. Қашық туыстарды будандастыруда болатын клеткалық, ұлпалық, деңгейде жүретін ауытқулар, ең алдымен тозаңның, тозаң түтікшесінің ұрықтануы мен дәннің түзілуі кезінде сәйкессіздік себебінен екендігін көрсетті. Эндосперм клеткаларының ұрықтық генеративті жыныс клеткаларының кешеуілдеп келуі салдарынан ұрықтану процессіне көп кедергі болғаны анықталды. Жыныс клеткаларының (генеративті, вегетативті) мейоздық бөлінуі мерзімінде дұрыс бөлінбей, хромосомдардың қалыс қалуынан, әртүрлі фрагменттердің түзілуінен, клетка ядроларының тең бөлінбеуінен, көпірлердің пайда болуынан, бөлінуге тиісті хромосомдардың әртарапқа қашып кетуі салдарынан болатындығы анықталды. Сәйкессіздік тозаң түтікшесінің, ұрық қабындағы генеративті ядролардың бөлінуі кезінде, эндосперм ұлпалары мен басқада тұқым қапшығында жүретін реакциялардың дұрыс жүрмеуі нәтижесінде болатындығы анықталды. Тозаң түйіршектерінің ұрық пен эндосперм клеткаларымен сәйкессіздіктің барлық морфологиялық бұзылыстарды тәжірбиеге алынған комбинациялар үшін ұқсас, біртектес болғаны байқалды. Будан дәнінің өміршеңдігінің болмауының негізгі себебі будандастыруға алынған генотиптердің геномдық құрылымының сәйкес келмеуінен болады

Наша страна отличается главным растительным богатством - наличием больших площадей пастбищ - до 187 млн га. Однако естественные пастбища характеризуются низкой урожайностью, особенно в сухостепных зонах - всего от 2 до 5 ц/га сухой поедаемой массы, что не всегда покрывает потребности животных при выпасе, особенно при бессистемном. Также бессистемный выпас животных приводит к размножению сорных и ядовитых растений на отдельных участках. Решением вопроса стабилизации продуктивности пастбищ является поиск путей рационального использования малопродуктивных сезонных пастбищ. Космические снимки с низким пространственным разрешением могут использоваться для выявления экологических изменений, а также выявить тонкие изменения в деталях на местном уровне. В данной статье представлены результаты исследований по повышению продуктивности пастбищ степной зоны путем организации загонного выпаса скота, оценку и наблюдения за пастбищными культурами проводили при помощи спутников. Исследователями проведены расчеты индексов NDVI для оценки продуктивности естественных пастбищ при организации загонного выпаса скота, определена корреляционная зависимость между урожайностью пастбищной массы и индексом NDVI при первом и втором цикле стравливания, величина коэффициента корреляции между урожайностью и NDVI при первом стравливании равна 0,79, а при втором стравливании 0,95
