Published: February 2025

Alginate, a naturally occurring biopolymer extracted from brown algae, presents a promising avenue for developing sustainable and efficient membranes for wastewater treatment. This review comprehensively examines recent advancements in the fabrication, modification, and application of alginate-based membranes for effective water purification. The paper delves into various fabrication techniques, including casting, electrospinning, and 3D printing, which influence the structural and functional properties of the resulting alginate membranes. To enhance performance, strategies such as crosslinking, incorporation of porogens, and surface functionalization are employed. These modifications optimize crucial properties like mechanical strength, porosity, selectivity, and antifouling resistance. Furthermore, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) has emerged as a valuable tool for systematically optimizing fabrication parameters, enabling researchers to identify optimal conditions for achieving desired membrane characteristics. The integration of alginate membranes with biological treatment processes, such as phycoremediation (utilizing microalgae) and mycoremediation (employing fungi), offers a synergistic approach to enhance wastewater treatment efficiency. By immobilizing these microorganisms within the alginate matrix, their bioremediation capabilities are amplified, leading to improved pollutant degradation and nutrient removal. In conclusion, alginate-based membranes demonstrate significant potential as a sustainable and effective technology for wastewater treatment. Continued research and development, focusing on optimizing fabrication processes and exploring innovative integration strategies with biological systems, will further advance the application of alginate membranes in addressing the pressing global challenge of water pollution.

Authors: Silva Cassio , Mello Edson Farias , Calaes Gilberto Dias , Jacques Patricia Duringer , Invernizzi André Luiz
Published: February 2025

With the support of this study, based on published information, this article highlights that Geosciences enable the research of methods and perspectives aimed at optimizing the management of natural resource use, aligning them with ecological limitations and incorporating environmental and social variables into the territorial planning process. Geoscientific information, knowledge, and learning establish a foundation for the supply of essential resources and provide technical and scientific support across various sectors and topics of societal interest. These include mining, where knowledge and proper utilization of essential mineral resources are crucial for human survival and quality of life; energy, which relies on petroleum, gas, coal, peat, and other minerals for nuclear energy generation, as well as for renewable energy sources like wind and solar power. Agriculture, which depends on fertilizers, soil remineralizers, conditioners, and a reliable water supply. In the field of public health, geoscientific knowledge helps ensure the quality of water, soil, and air. In urban planning, it guides land-use restrictions or expansion. In housing, the availability of construction materials is essential. In civil defense, geoscientific insights are crucial for managing landslides, floods, earthquakes, subsidence, and erosion. Regarding infrastructure, geosciences support both social (housing, sanitation, education, healthcare) and economic (energy, transportation, communications) developments. Tourism benefits from geoparks and scenic areas, while environmental studies focus on impact assessments, disaster prevention, and the rehabilitation of degraded areas. Moreover, geoscientific knowledge is indispensable for planning across various sectors of the economy, regions, and societal issues. This applies to public institutions, civil society organizations, private companies, and watershed committees, aiding in the formulation of Regional Development Plans, Ecological-Economic Zoning, Territorial Planning, and strategies for the utilization of continental shelves, coastal environments, and accident prevention. We are entirely dependent on the geological characteristics of natural environments, as they provide the raw materials—such as minerals, water, and food—necessary for our survival and socio-economic development. As geoscientific knowledge and understanding of land and environmental suitability and limitations increase, Geodiversity can play a more significant role in shaping public policies related to urban and rural land use, infrastructure, and the sustainable economic exploitation of mineral and water resources, aligning with Municipal Master Plans, State Development Plans, and the National Territorial Planning Strategy.

Published: February 2025

This research sought to explore how the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model affects the learning interest and self-efficacy of eleventh-grade students in Senior High School. Employing a quantitative quasi-experimental design, the study utilized a sample of eleventh-grade students selected through simple random sampling. Data were gathered using questionnaires and observational methods and analyzed using a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) test. The results underscored the notable influence of the PjBL model in enhancing learning interest and self-efficacy. The PjBL approach positively affected these variables in the experimental group of 28 students. The robustness of these results was confirmed by Pillai's Trace, Wilks' Lambda, Hotelling's Trace, and Roy's Largest Root tests, each demonstrating F-values with a significance level of 0.000, well below the threshold of 0.05. Moreover, the Coefficient of determination (R²) revealed that the PjBL model accounted for 73.5% of the variance in learning interest and 90.2% in self-efficacy, with the remaining variance being attributable to other factors not addressed in this study.
Redesigning geometry assessments to promote advanced geometric thinking: A case study on formal deduction and rigor
Authors: Scristia  , Herman Tatang , Septy Sari Yukans
Published: February 2025

Many geometry problems at the university level, particularly in analytic geometry courses, tend to prioritize procedural tasks to foster deeper geometric thinking. This study aims to analyze and redesign existing geometry problems to enhance pre-service mathematics teachers' formal deductive reasoning and rigor in accordance with the Van Hiele model. Employing a case study approach, four geometric problems were analyzed in relation to their alignment with various levels of geometric thinking. The study involved a detailed examination of pre-service mathematics teachers’ responses and the structure of their problems to identify aspects that require improvement to better support higher-order thinking. The methodology included a content analysis of problem design and pre-service mathematics teachers’ answers, focusing on their engagement in formal deduction and generalization. The findings indicate that the current problems insufficiently promote the development of formal deduction and rigor, as they are primarily centered on formula applications without requiring proof or generalization. Specific recommendations are provided in the form of redesigned analytic geometric problems aimed at fostering advanced geometric thinking. These redesigns are expected to help pre-service mathematics teachers tackle more complex mathematical problems by encouraging logical reasoning and argumentation.

Low enrolment in health personnel education program for tutors in health training institutions in Tanzania: Case of seven selected health training institutions
Authors: Peter Abraham Sala  , Boniphace T Kazimil
Published: February 2025

Background: Centre for Educational Development in Health Arusha was established in 1983 by Ministry of Health, aimed at strengthening and support the health care system through provision of health personnel education (HPE) program for tutors in Health Training Institutions (HTIs). CEDHA has capacity to enroll and accommodate 40 HPE program trainees per year.

But in the past five (5) academic years, enrollment of HTI tutors in HPE program decreased critically to 3(7.5%) in 2022/2023 academic year

Methods: This cross-sectional study employed quantitative methods for data collection conducted between November 2022 and July 2023 in seven (7) purposively selected public and private Health Training Institutions (HTIs).

Results: We recruited 57 HTIs stakeholders (7 HTIs employers and 50 HTIs tutors) in the study, 39(68%) of the stakeholders had bachelor degree and 25(44%) had 1-4 years’ experience in teaching. 33(58%) of the respondents had not attended short or long course in teaching methodology. Most 44(93%) of stakeholders had low to moderate knowledge on HPE program offered at CEDHA while 49(86%) showed features of positive attitude toward studying the HPE program. Eight (8) short courses related to HPE program are offered in three (3) HTIs. Only teaching methodology short course was active in all three (3) institutions. Management of Health Training Institution and Instructional Assessment Skills were active only at CEDHA. This study could not establish type of recognition for HPE program graduates at their work stations as no one was found in the selected HTIs. Tuition fees, meal and accommodation were outlined more frequently as type of support needed by tutor willing to study HPE program.

Conclusions: This study indicated that low awareness, positive attitude to HPE program, lack of recognition, availability of long or short courses related to HPE program and lack of support may be contributing factors to low enrolment in HPE program. There is a need for marketing the HPE program to HTI stakeholders and to offer support to tutors willing to pursue HPE program

Sustainable DevOps: Minimizing the carbon footprint of banking data centers
Authors: Pramod Kumar Muppala
Published: February 2025

Sustainable DevOps methods drive results in banking, given data centers account for most energy usage and environmental damage. Our study demonstrates how sustainability practices join with DevOps techniques to lower the ecological impact of banking data centers while achieving performance and security requirements. The paper illustrates how microservices and containerization technology help banking data centers work better with their resources by automatically scaling and lowering electricity consumption. The evaluation compares Jenkins and Ansible with other automation tools to show how they simplify repetitive work and shut down systems when usage drops to save energy. The study proves why advanced monitoring tools are necessary to track real-time power usage so data center managers can redistribute or stop using servers when needed. The analysis shows how banks can use cloud solutions that depend on green energy and infrastructure architectures to build sustainability practices. Beyond new technology tools, this research pushes for cultural change by supporting business units that add environmental effect measures to their new product development process. This study examines how banking industries can use sustainable DevOps practices to reduce energy use and environmental damage while maintaining regulatory standards and stable operations. The study provides technical and action-based methods that allow DevOps processes to support ecological preservation for finance companies.

Objective: Understand how certain kinetic variables change during vertical jumping from different heights in barefoot condition. Methods: Twenty healthy, physically fit male and female adults were selected for the experiment. Mean age, height, and weight of male participants were 20.08 ± 1.230 years, 174 ± 1.071 cm, and 70.57 ± 3.002 kg; for female participants, mean age, height, and weight were 19.14 ± 1.027 years, 155 ± 0.048 cm, and 52.56 ± 5.461 kg, respectively. Experiments started with barefoot forefoot jumping from two different heights, 33 cm and 49 cm. Initial contact force (N), initial contact time (s), max force (N), max force time (s), stabilization force (N), time from max force to max force before stabilization (s), and time from max force to stabilization force (s) during jumps were measured using a Kistler portable force plate and studied in the MARS Quarter performance analysis software. Results: Barefoot jumping data showed a scattered pattern for all selected parameters. Maximum force reached 3960.05 ± 2125.255 N at 33 cm and 4844.25 ± 2259.230 N at 49 cm. In a previous study, the average peak force measured was 4640 N. A 50% chance of fracture was linked to an impact of 3562 N, which is very close to the figure found in this study. Stabilization force reached 584.40 ± 106.308 N at 33 cm and 583.35 ± 99.881 N at 49 cm, with a correspondence of 0.56 ± 0.149 s and 0.66 ± 0.258 s, respectively. Minimum force achieved before stabilization was 341.0 N at 33 cm and 320.70 N at 49 cm. Regression analysis of these parameters showed a low R-squared value and a random fit plot. Conclusion: According to our findings, jumping barefoot from a 49 cm height produces a higher impact on the forefoot than a 33 cm jump, except for initial contact and stabilization force. Before stabilization, the time from max force to max force before stabilization significantly affects stability during take-off, potentially preventing injury by allowing for a smoother transition between the eccentric (braking) and concentric (propulsion) phases. This data can help improve sports and kids’ footwear to lower the risk of foot injuries. Level of evidence IV; Economic and decision analyses – developing an economic or decision model.

A ruptura do tendão de Aquiles é uma lesão comum, especialmente em atletas e indivíduos ativos, que apresenta desafios significativos no tratamento e na recuperação. Este artigo revisa as abordagens atuais, controvérsias, e avanços recentes no manejo dessa condição. O debate contínuo entre o tratamento cirúrgico e conservador destaca a necessidade de uma escolha terapêutica personalizada, levando em consideração a natureza da lesão e o perfil do paciente. Enquanto a cirurgia tradicionalmente oferece menores taxas de reruptura, avanços em técnicas minimamente invasivas e reabilitação acelerada têm demonstrado eficácia semelhante com menos complicações. Inovações como o uso de terapias biológicas, enxertos de matriz extracelular, e dispositivos de imobilização funcional estão mudando o cenário do tratamento, embora sua eficácia ainda esteja em avaliação. Além disso, a pesquisa em engenharia de tecidos, terapias celulares, e monitoramento remoto está abrindo novas possibilidades para melhorar a cicatrização e a reabilitação. As perspectivas futuras incluem uma abordagem cada vez mais personalizada e tecnológica, com o potencial de otimizar os resultados e reduzir as taxas de reruptura.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of conservative treatment in patients with isolated Weber B fractures of the lateral malleolus. Methods: Medical charts of 30 patients with isolated and stable Weber B fractures of the lateral malleolus, exhibiting less than 2mm of displacement, were retrospectively evaluated. All patients underwent early weightbearing and joint mobilization, with treatment involving the use of a cam-walker boot (CWB) for a period of 6 to 8 weeks. Clinically, qualitative variables such as the presence of residual pain, tibiotalar joint motion, and total return to physical activities were evaluated. Radiographic parameters included bone healing time, healing rate and fracture displacement. Results: Among the 30 patients, 6 (20%) experienced residual pain, while 25 (83%) successfully resumed their previous physical activities within an average period of 3.4 months. Limited joint mobility was observed in 6 (20%) patients. Radiographically, 22 (73.3%) had fracture deviation of 1 mm, 6 (20%) of 2 mm, and 2 (6.7%) showed no deviation. The average time for bone healing was 7 weeks. Three (10%) patients developed pseudarthrosis. Return to physical activities was correlated with time and rate for fracture healing. Residual pain was associated with pseudarthrosis, dyslipidemia, and hypothyroidism. Bone healing did not correlate with age, displacement or comorbidities. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that the proposed conservative treatment yielded satisfactory clinical and radiographic results, with a high rate of bone healing and successful return to previous physical activities.
