The government agencies and private sectors have been putting efforts to properly monitor and alleviate the water quality problems. However, the complaints about wastewater in the urban areas in Thailand is increasing each year. This research aims to study the patterns and roles of people’s network for sharing knowledge and plans for water resource conservation in Krathum Baen district, Samut Sakhon province. The qualitative approach through participatory action research (PAR) was used for conducting this research in order to discover the causes of the water quality problems which were caused by management. A focus group discussion, and in-depth interview methods were used for collecting data. The obtained results were analysed by SWOT analysis. TOWS Matrix analysis was applied to evaluate the developed strategies for the implementation of the water conservation management. The results showed that firstly, water resources conservation network played an important role in water conservation management in the river estuary. Secondly, the structure of the people's network was another key factor in the management due to their intention to improve the environment. Finally, the comprehensive SWOT-TOWS Matrix analysis indicated possible strategies for the water conservative implementation which consisted of the participation of developing leaders in water resource conservative management with the government and private sectors, and developing of village learning centre. This finding showed that the participation of the community is necessary for management to preserve water resources and achieve sustainable development goals. In order to obtain the participation, guidelines for the development of people's networks for water conservation is suggested. Furthermore the structure and roles of group as well as patterns and roles of people’s network participation are also recommended for successful management to improve the water quality problems.

Published: January 2024

Water security is a global concern due to climate change and the increasing impact of human activities on water resources. Several issues regarding water scarcity, safety, and administration have been raised in previous studies, which indicated several deficiencies in the sewage systems and water supply of Ibb city, Yemen. However, a comprehensive assessment of water security has not been carried out. Hence, this study aims to develop a framework for assessing the urban water of Ibb city. The study applies the new assessment framework and measures the urban water security index (UWSI) as a decision management tool by using the four dimensions of urban water security: drinking water, ecosystems, climate change and water-related hazards, and socio-economic aspects (DECS). The urban water security index (UWSI) assesses Ibb water security and intervention strategies. According to the study findings, urban water security in Ibb is insufficient to meet basic needs, with flaws in some aspects of the water security dimensions. The UWSI framework promotes rational and evidence-based decision-making, which is essential for improving water resource management in water-insecurity cities.

Published: January 2024

Biogas with the composition of 60 % methane and 40 % carbon dioxide can be used as methane replacement in Dry Reforming of Methane (DRM) for high quality syngas. Endothermically nature of DRM requires an efficient catalyst to reduce the compound activation energy and change mechanism path. A nickel-based catalyst has advantages of comparable catalytic activity and abundantly available compared to a noble catalyst. However, the nickel-based catalyst has fast deactivation and sinters at higher temperature. Many factors and variables such as metals loading percentages, addition of secondary metal, support selection and promoter can affect the catalyst performance and properties. Conventionally, quest of ideal catalyst requires a lot of experiment which are time-consuming and cost-consuming. In this research, response surface methodology (RSM) approach was used to optimize the nickel-based catalyst formulation and DRM operating condition over prepared catalyst. For catalyst formulation, Box-Behken Design (BBD) was used to find the optimum ratio of nickel (1-10 %) with the use of cobalt as secondary metal (0-10 %) and magnesium as promoter (0-5 %). NaA-Zeolite synthesis from kaolin was used as support in this research. the kinetic study was carried out in order to understand the mechanism path of DRM reaction over prepared catalyst and the effect of prepared catalyst on activation energy (Ea). After conducting mathematical and statistical analysis, the result confirmed that Ni10Co9Mg1.6/NaA-Zeolite catalyst was an optimum combination that achieved 21.93 % CH4 conversion, 33.52 % CO2 conversion, 0.904 H2/CO ratio and 0.8440 stability score. The data analysis also indicated that there was an interaction effect between variables and responses. The characterization analysis was in line with the finding. Lastly, from the kinetic study, the reaction mechanism of DRM over Ni10Co9Mg1.6/NaA-Zeolite fit well with Eley-Rideal mechanism whereby CO2 was adsorbed on the catalyst surface and CH4 maintained in gas phase. The kinetic analysis also revealed that the catalyst has low activation energy for CH4 and CO2 consumptions (46.53 kJ/mol and 39.66 kJ/mol respectively). Low activation energy of CO2 indicated the involvement of RWGS reaction.

Published: January 2024

Evaporation significantly affects the loss of water in reservoir. The effective use of water-surface covering materials for evaporation reduction purpose is commercially performed including plastic spherical and circular shapes. This study initiates to reuse very common Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) drinking-water bottles to cover water surface instead. The bottle shape could have a covering percentage ratio as much as 91% equal to a commercial ball or circular disk. The experiment was designed and conducted to prove the reduction of water evaporation rate using eight simulated ponds. The testing aspects are the opacity of the floating bottles, the coverage area, and the floating pattern. Based on environmental impact concern, the deterioration of PET bottles due to hydrolysis reaction and ultraviolet rays in natural conditions is also investigated. The water samples from the testing ponds are collected and analyzed to be compared with the water quality standard. Initial result from the experiment showed that PET bottles containing laminated-aluminum-foiled (LAF) plastic bags have the greatest reduction in evaporation among different opaque materials. Cover flotation percentages of 75% and 100% were able to reduce evaporation the most and with little difference. The raft-floating pattern has a slightly lower evaporation rate compared to the free-floating. All this has the potential to reduce evaporation which are a very cost-effective alternative to the existing commercial materials and help support the reuse of plastic waste.

Published: January 2024

Rapid development along the Kuantan River was long perceived as the rivers serve many communities in terms of drinking water source, domestic, fisheries, recreation, and agricultural purposes. Due to the rapid changes in technology and upsurge in chemical usage, pollutant alterations turn out to be more drastic with respect to space and time. Research on the trace metals in river water is quite limited in Malaysia, probably due to their ppb-level existence and the need for special handling techniques. Hence, the aim of this study is to forecast heavy metals concentration in Kuantan River waters using a collective of 10 years (2007 – 2016) dataset of heavy metals that provided by the Department of Environment, Malaysia. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to compute the data, which showed that As, Cr, Fe, Zn and Cd explain 67.3% of the total variance through three principal components. For ANN computation, those significant metals extracted from rotating PCA was selected and used in ANN model. The developed approaches were trained and tested using 80% and 20% of the data, respectively. Then, the coefficient of determination (R2) was executed to calculate the model performance. Out of five metals, only As shown acceptable R2 for ANN models with 0.8690 and 0.8088 for training and testing, respectively, probably due to the model’s limitation. Generally, this study illustrates the usefulness of PCA and ANN for analysis and interpretation of complex data sets and understanding the temporal and spatial variations in the Kuantan River for effective river water management.

Published: January 2024

Water is an important element for all living things. It is very important to have sustainability in drinking water operations. This is because sustainability in drinking water operations means continuous water supply without interruption. Sustainability is very related to risk management. This can be said that a good water supply sustainability index must be assessed using good risk management. However existing water sustainability index has proved inaccuracy, this can be seen from the sustainability index parameter that has the same weight between each other. An additional method such as Artificial intelligence and IoT was needed to enhance the accuracy of the water supply sustainability index. This method (artificial intelligence and IoT) was used as an enhancement for risk management parameters based on its severity, thus impacting sustainability index accuracy. In this paper, we propose to review detailed risk management research and operations management for sustainable drinking water supplies. Various challenges (issues) that exist in the water sustainability index that are inside drinking water operations are presented together with the future direction of sustainability index based on artificial intelligence and IoT that can enhance the framework. A good drinking water operation combined with enhanced risk management (IoT and artificial intelligence) can boost the sustainability index (assessment) accuracy.

Nighttime Construction Noise Disturbance Compensation in Beijing: Taking the Tongzhou New Campus Project of Renmin University of China as an Example
Authors: Zhou Feng
Published: January 2024

By examining a specific case of compensating for nighttime construction noise in Beijing’s construction projects, we explored how the costs of mitigating construction noise disturbance could be fairly distributed among multiple construction projects near residential areas. In this process, the local government played a crucial coordinating role. According to regulations, construction units must include the costs of preventing and controlling construction noise pollution in the project cost. The construction contract should clearly specify the construction unit’s responsibility for noise pollution prevention and control. After signing the contract, the construction unit should promptly undertake relevant measures to minimize disturbances caused by nighttime construction, aiming to reduce the adverse impacts on the community and ensure the smooth progress of the construction project.

Published: January 2024

As a national cultural property, General Zhang Fei’s Temple is the largest ancient architectural complex in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. It was built in the Han Dynasty and has a long history of nearly 2,000 years. In 1994, the Chinese government launched the Three Gorges Dam project at the Yangtze River and implemented the largest relocation project for the General Zhang Fei Temple to prevent it from being submerged. The temple was relocated 32 kilometers upstream along with the local people of Yunyang County, and the historic environment was rebuilt on the opposite side of the migrant city of New Yunyang County. The temple was restored successfully and the tradition of offering sacrifices to General Zhang Fei continued in the local community. The relocation project lasted for 8 years and became the largest cultural heritage conservation project of the People’s Republic of China at the end of the 20th century. This paper comprehensively summarizes and reviews the project goals, implementation process, and project highlights of this relocation, so as to provide an important case reference for heritage conservation projects in the future.

Authors: Gutiérrez Martinetti Stefania , Riquelme-Arredondo Angélica
Published: January 2024

Research worldwide highlights the lack of teachers’ assessment literacy and shows their beliefs and feelings about being unprepared to face classroom assessment. The same reality has occurred in Chile (Latin America), where participants in this investigation expressed their lack of assessment literacy during their tertiary education. Therefore, following the interpretative paradigm with a qualitative approach, this study tried to reveal how primary school teachers from Chile are prepared for classroom assessment, and if their knowledge of assessment literacy has an impact on their classroom assessment practices.
Primary school teachers and university tutor teachers were part of the study (n = 12). Tutor teachers also shared their university study program of the assessment module they taught, which was analyzed and compared with the participants’ answers.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted. Themes and codes were defined to organize the data and were analyzed using the discourse analysis technique.
The findings of this study reveal that primary school teachers from Chile would prefer a better initial teacher education to improve their performance. Moreover, they manifested the necessity of ongoing support in their professional development to enhance their assessment literacy, and consequently, strengthen the quality of their teaching-learning process inside the classroom.

Published: January 2024

Pakistan has constantly been in the news since the September 9, 2001, attack in New York, USA, and its education system and curriculum have seen a lot of interest from academics, researchers, and civil society organizations, both locally and globally. These researchers explored many aspects such as the concept of Jihad and its connection with violence against religious minorities, the construction of ‘Us’ and ‘Them’, the national, religious, and cultural identity but the development, promotion, and preservation of spiritual capital (SC) remained unexplored. This study was undertaken to take stock of the SC considered worthwhile to be preserved and promoted through language textbooks prepared for elementary school children by the Government of Pakistan. The study used a qualitative interpretive/constructivist research paradigm and chose qualitative content analysis as the data analysis method. The data for this study was taken from language textbooks (12 English and 12 Urdu) and semi-structured interview data, collected using a focus group discussion data collection strategy. This study found a very strong link between pupils’ SC and the stories presented to them in the language textbooks showing the rootedness of pupils' SC in Islam, its teachings, and history. The study also showed pupils struggling to modify and expand their SC by including the global SC perspective in their already constructed set of SC. This study recommends that the textbook authorities should make the language textbooks' content inclusive and add global stories emphasizing universal SC.

Published: January 2024

This research investigates the efficacy of the role-play method in improving Arabic speaking skills among students enrolled in the Islamic Education Management Program at STAI Ma'had Aly Al-Hikam Malang. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach involving observation and interviews, the study reveals that the role-play method significantly enhances students' self-confidence and proficiency in Arabic speaking. Instructors play a pivotal role in shaping and facilitating role-plays, offering constructive feedback to aid in skill refinement. Despite positive student responses, acknowledging the method's relevance and practicality in honing their Arabic communication skills, challenges such as limited resources and initial role discomfort were noted. The findings suggest that the role-play method effectively contributes to students' comprehension of Islamic education contexts and their preparedness for related careers. The research proposes that instructors incorporate this method more extensively into their teaching strategies. Moreover, students can benefit from recognizing the value of role-play in refining their Arabic speaking abilities. To address the identified challenges and provide a comprehensive understanding of the method's effectiveness, future research should explore broader applications and offer deeper insights into the impact of the role-play method.

Madrasah Diniyah and Ma'had Al-Jami'ah-Based Religious Moderation Policy in State Islamic University in Indonesia
Authors: Naim Ngainun , Abad Badruzaman  , Izzatul Amalina
Published: January 2024

This article seeks to elaborate the ma’had al-jami’ah-based religious moderation policy at UIN Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah Tulungagung. This issue is interesting because religious moderation is a government policy that must be implemented by government institutions, including Islamic religious universities. The problem is that there are no nationally formal technical-operational guidelines for implementation so each tertiary institution has an interpretation for making policies to strengthen religious moderation by their respective contexts and considerations. The current study used in this article is qualitative with data mining techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. The data that has been obtained is then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldańa model which divides the stages of data analysis into data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion. This article argues that UIN Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah made interesting policies for religious moderation in the form of madrasah diniyah and ma’had al-jami’ah learning policies. Madrasah diniyah and ma’had al-jami’ah are designed not only as an activity to provide religious knowledge to students but also as a strategy for internalizing religious moderation and prevention of radicalism ideology.

Religious moderation becomes a catalyst for building a harmonious life in Indonesia. This research explores religious moderation from the perspective of religions in Indonesia, both theoretically and practically. This research uses a qualitative and comparative study approach to see the esoteric values in each religion related to religious moderation. Data collection techniques include interviews, focus group discussions, and documentation studies.  The analysis focused on verifying data from religious figures and religious texts. The results of the study revealed that 1) religious moderation becomes urgent to internalize religious teachings substantively and to address the problem of violence in the name of religion, 2) religious moderation is in line with the universal values of all religions, 3) the term moderation or middle way is found in the scriptures of each religion, 4) interfaith dialogue as an effort to open up openness between religions and realize cross-religious cooperation.

Authors: Kumar Devendra
Published: January 2024

The Szegö curve is denoted by SRo={z∈C: |ze1−z|=Ro, |z|≤1} and let HR be the class of functions analytic in GR but not in GR’ if R<R’, GRo=int SRo’, 0<Ro<R<1. In this paper we have studied growth parameters in terms of weighted polynomial approximation errors on SRo for the functions f∈HR having rapidly increasing maximum modulus so that the order of f(z) is infinite.

This study aimed to know the effect of salting methods with different concentrations on the quality and organoleptic value of salted barracuda fish (Sphyraena barracuda). This research was conducted from June to July 2020 at the Sumpang Binangae Fish Port, Mangempang Village, Barru Regency. The research method used was an experimental method with four treatments, namely treatment A (salting barracuda with 15% salt concentration), treatment B (salting barracuda with a dry method using 20% salt concentration), treatment C (salting barracuda with a wet method using 15% salt concentration), and treatment D (salting barracuda with a wet method using 20% salt concentration and soaked for six hours). Data analysis used the ANOVA test. The results showed that the highest average value of waer content in sample C was 28.16%. The highest average values of ash and salt content in sample B were 22.11% and 12.38%. The highest average ALT value in sample C was 1.1x104 colonies, while the highest average organoleptic value was in sample D 8.67. This study concludes that the salting of salted barracuda has a significant effect on water content, ash content, salt content, and ALT. The results of the ANOVA for the organoleptic value in terms of appearance, smell, texture, and taste had a significant effect while the organoleptic value of fungi had no significant affected.
Survival rate of tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) pre and post infected with White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) fed with the addition of miana leaf extract (Coleus scutellarioides)

Published: January 2024

The plant species of miana (Coleus scutellariodes) has been historically recognised for its antiviral properties.  However, there is currently no scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of miana leaf extract in preventing White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) in tiger prawns (Penaeus monodon) when administered via feed. This study aimed to determine the impact of including miana leaf extract in the diet on the  survival percentage of tiger prawns that have been infected with the WSSV. The study was carried out between June and August 2023 in the Laboratory of Parasite and Fish Disease and the Hatchery Laboratory of Hasanuddin University. This study employed a completely randomized experimental design consisting of five distinct treatments, each with three replicates. The experimental treatments included the control group (treatment A), where food was provided without the inclusion of miana leaf extract. Furthermore, there were four treatment groups (treatments B, C, D and E) where feed was supplemented with miana leaf extract at concentrations of 125, 250, 500, and 750 µg mg-1 feed, respectively. Rearing was performed in two phases: preinfection (25 days) and post- infection (7 days). The statistical results of the statistical on pre-WSSV infection indicated that the addition of miana leaf extract to the food resulted in survival that was not significantly different (p>0.05). The results were different post-infection, significantly (p<0.05) the shrimp fed with the addition of miana leaf extract were higher than those without the extract. Furthermore, there was a significant difference in shrimp survival between pre- and post-WSSV infection. WSSV mitigation through immunostimulants using miana leaf extract, which is inexpensive and environmentally friendly, has the potential to minimize the impact of WSSV infection.

This study aims to determine students' science process skills through practicum method on cell material for class XI IPA of SMA Negeri 1 Tapa. The research method used quasi-experimental, a posttest-only non-equivalent control group design. Data collection was performed through observation sheets and test questions. The data analysis used is the t-test. According to research conducted in class XI IPA 1 using the practicum method, students in the experimental class had an average science process skill score of 79%. In contrast, students in the control class, which did not use the practicum method, had an average of 55%. Therefore, the science process skills of students in the experimental class are higher than those in the control class due to the use of the practicum method. Teachers guide students in activities during the learning process by asking open-ended questions that spark a discussion. Students are therefore required to be active, creative, and able to collaborate during the learning process to meet the learning objectives and understand the concepts being taught easily.
