Authors:   Tshwane University of Technology, Pretoria, South Africa, Tlhabadira Isaac , Daniyan Ilesanmi , Khaled Abou El Hossein
Published: December 2023

Deep drilled holes in titanium alloys are broad in terms of the engineering and fabrication application in various products. The accuracy of deep drilling, tool wear, chip morphology and hole surface-wear are determined in this study. A sequence of machining tests were conducted to examine the deep drilling of Ti6Al4V alloy behaviour. Furthermore, a model that describes and improves the accuracy of holes in deep drilling of Ti6Al4V using High Speed Steel (HSS) drills was investigated, with the upshot of cutting limits on process indicators on tool wear and chips for modern manufacturing industries. The factorial design methodology for experiments was employed to investigate the influence of the cutting parameters on hole accuracy. Drilling were carried out on a solid cylindrical shaft of titanium alloy Ti-6Al4V using a 5-axis, Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milling machine and 13 piece of 10 mm diameter drill bits made from HSS Co and DMU 80 monoblock DECKEL MAHO. The surface corrosion and wear of the samples were also investigated using the Scanning Electron Microscopy (JEOL-SEM). The results obtained indicated that high tool wear results in short tool life when drilling at high speeds and feeds. The 10 mm HSS Co drill fails at high speeds of between 1272-640 rev/min and drill without failure at speeds of 630-318 rev/min for deep drilling of Ti-6Al-4V. The combination of 318 rev/min and 25 mm/min produces the preferred short and discontinuous chips. Thus study can assist drilling operators in obtaining accurate holes during deep drilling of Ti6Al4V.

The use of one-row of piles for stabilization of an unstable slope has been employed for many years. However, when one-row of piles are not able to stabilize complex slopes then multiple rows of piles should be adopted. This paper presents the feasibility of using multiple rows of stabilizing minipiles to increase the residual soil slope stability. Consolidated undrained triaxial (CIU) tests were conducted on reconstituted saturated samples of residual soil to determine the shear strength behavior. The response of residual soil slope stabilized with minipiles was carried out using a simplified pile-slope analysis method. The influencing factors on the behavior of residual soil slope stabilized with multiple rows of stabilizing minipiles were investigated. A parametric study was performed for utilizing the use of multiple rows of stabilizing minipiles mainly includes the pile row number, pile row position and slope geometry. The computed stabilizing minipile response shows that the residual soil slope stability with one-row of stabilizing piles is different from that with multiple rows of stabilizing piles. The present study could provide useful insight into the use of multiple rows of minipiles to increase the stability of residual soil slope.

Authors: Ali Imran  , Ayesha Khalil  , Safyan Jabbar
Published: December 2023

Traditional education is also known as customary education, whereas the blended mode of education includes e-learning tools and technology combined with teacher-centric traditional classrooms. To achieve better educational outcomes, it is crucial to consider the satisfaction level of students. This helps in enhancing understanding and enriching the learning process. This study aims to assess student satisfaction between these two modes. The study was conducted through a survey and cross-sectional research method, employing a quantitative research design. The data, randomly collected, comprised 110 respondents, with the majority being females and fewer being males. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS software, with regression and correlation tests performed. The results indicate that the blended mode of education had a significantly higher impact on student satisfaction compared to the traditional mode. This review highlights the vital role played by the blended mode of education in facilitating a better understanding of lessons for students. The use of digital technology in traditional classrooms makes lectures and concepts easier to comprehend for students. However, it is important to note that this study had limitations, and future researchers should explore additional factors for a more comprehensive understanding.

Authors: Javed Muhammad Javed Amjad , Muhammad Umair Farooq  , Abid Abid Hussain
Published: December 2023

The major purpose of the study was to determine the paternalistic involvement of parents in students’ self-esteem and career aspirations. The quantitative research method was used to examine the paternalistic involvement of parents in self-esteem and career choice. The Social Context Questionnaire (Skinner, Regan, & Wellborn, 1986) was adopted as a measure of paternalistic involvement, whereas the Rosenburg (1965) self-esteem scale was adopted as a measure of self-esteem. Using a convenient sampling technique, responses were obtained from 379 students (male and female) studying at the University of Sargodha. It was found that paternalistic involvement and self-esteem were strongly negatively correlated. Moreover, paternalistic involvement and career choice had a strong negative correlation. The study demonstrated that girls face more paternalistic involvement from their parents, which leads to lower self-esteem among them as compared to boys. Moreover, paternalistic involvement creates dependency and weakens decision-making power among female children. Keeping in view the aforesaid findings, parents should adopt alternative ways to accomplish their own desires and understandings without restricting the liberty of adult children, even though it may involve inconvenience, expense, and apparently irrational acts. In addition, parents should respect their ideas so that children can abstain from deviant behaviour.

This empirical study delves into the impact of FA and Knowledge Codifiability (KC) on Employee Engagement (EE). Additionally, the study investigates the mediating role of EE in the relationship between FA, KC, and Competitiveness. Furthermore, it examines how Resource Commitment (RC) moderates the connections between FA, KC, and EE. The data was collected from 424 managers based in a developing country. The study employs PLS-SEM to analyze the relationships among these variables. The results reveal that both FA and KC have a positive correlation with EE. Moreover, the findings substantiate the idea that EE serves as a mediator in the relationship between FA, KC, and competitiveness. Additionally, the results confirm that RC plays a moderating role in the connections between FA, KC, and EE. This study offers valuable recommendations for regulators in crafting regulations that align with firms' technological goals, promoting innovation and economic growth.

Published: December 2023

The family is considered a fundamental cornerstone of society, holding a significant influence over the development of individuals, their emotional well-being, and the overall cohesion of communities. Raising a differently abled child is a fundamental aspect of familial dynamics that encompasses a multifaceted range of obligations, choices, and affective commitments. In view of this, the current research was carried out with the aim of analysing the influence of child rearing strain on family adaptation, along with the mediation effect of family sense of coherence and family external resources. The current study was conducted using a quantitative research design with survey and cross-sectional research methods. Data were collected from parents of differently abled children between January 2023 and May 2023. The study's scope covered nine divisions of the Punjab province. Data collection was conducted using an interview schedule and carried out with the collaboration of the Punjab Welfare and Baitul Mall departments. The analysis was conducted after gathering data from 200 parents of differently-abled children. Multistage and convenient sampling techniques were applied for data collection. To analyse the mediation results, structural equation modelling was employed to determine the effect of predictor variables on the dependent variables of the study, considering the mediation effect. Based on the major findings of the study, it is concluded that child rearing strain is closely connected with family adaptation and family external resource variables. This suggests that child rearing strain could be mitigated if families had access to external resources and social support to cope with adverse situations.

Authors: Ashraf Muhammad Taqveem , Dr Rahla Rahat
Published: December 2023

This article explores the challenges faced by students with disabilities using mobility assistive devices (i.e. wheelchairs or crutches) in a large public sector urban higher education institution. Cities are characterized by rapid pace and complex infrastructure including buildings, roads, and public spaces that present unique obstacles that hinder these individuals' mobility and overall experience. For this qualitative study, the locale chosen was a large public sector university, and data was collected from 10 students with disabilities who use wheelchairs and other mobility assistive devices and reside in the campus student accommodation. The data was collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that the infrastructure on campus is not accommodating for students with disabilities who use mobility aids, which directly and indirectly impacts their educational experiences. In addition, the university lacks a uniform policy for providing services and allocating resources for students with disabilities. The participants believe that the university is indifferent to their needs; however, the facilities and behaviors within departments vary and at times can be quiteenabling. This study contributes to the ongoing dialogue on enhancing accessibility, inclusivity, and equity within our urban educational landscapes.

Natural Resource Effect on Industrial Structure of oil exporting countries: Analysis through DID and PSM (DID)
Authors: Maaz Uddin  , Zameer Khalid
Published: December 2023

Researchers look closely at the resource curse and its effects on the economies of oil-exporting countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The primary objective was to learn whether or not the abundance of natural resources in BRI countries aided or slowed the growth of their industrial structural infrastructure. The purpose of the research was to ascertain, over the years 1990-2020, how the availability of natural resources will affect the rate of industrialization in these countries. In this investigation, we used both the Difference in Difference (DID) and the Propensity Score Matching (PSM-DID) methods. The DID approach was utilized to establish causal relationships by comparing the industrial growth trajectories of countries rich in resources with those less endowed over time. Additionally, the PSM-DID method was employed to mitigate selection bias by matching countries with similar characteristics. The findings underscore that the resource curse does indeed influence the industrial structures of several countries due to their heavy reliance on the extraction and export of raw materials, which often leads to limited diversification and heightened vulnerability. Nevertheless, it is imperative to recognize that not all BRI nations are equally affected by the resource curse. Some countries have adeptly leveraged their natural resources to drive industrialization and overall economic advancement.

Aid from other countries is essential to the financial well-being of emerging countries and makes a significant contribution to economic expansion. Since Pakistan is one of the countries that receives a substantial amount of foreign aid, the purpose of this research is to determine the impact that this assistance has had on the country's economic progress. In order to fulfill their responsibilities, developing countries like Pakistan become more reliant on financial assistance from other nations. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship that exists between international assistance and economic expansion in Pakistan during the course of the years 1972 through 2021. For the purpose of determining the empirical analysis, the auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) co-integration method is used. In order to determine this nexus, data on all of the contributing components is collected over a period of fifty years, beginning in 1972 and continuing through 2021. According to the data, there is an association between foreign aid and economic growth over the long term in Pakistan. However, the results showed that foreign assistance also had a positive impact on real GDP in the short term.
