Published: January 2025

Objective: This study aimed to produce a valid and reliable Creativity Assessment Instrument that can be used in learning. Students' low creative thinking ability and the unavailability of a Creativity Assessment Instrument to measure creativity in the science field of elementary school students are the background to this study. Method: The instrument was compiled through the following stages: potential and problems, data collection, product design, design validation, design revision, and valid and reliable final results. Data were collected using a validation sheet. Data from the validation results were then analyzed quantitatively descriptively and then compared with the validity criteria table that had been set. As a result, the creativity assessment instrument has been designed to measure creative thinking skills using descriptive questions. Results: Assessment of the material, construction, and language aspects showed high and reliable validity in the categories. This shows that the instrument can be used in the context of learning to measure student creativity effectively. There has been an increase in the development of creativity assessment instruments to measure students' creative thinking skills in elementary school science subjects, which were previously lacking but are now increasing due to this research. Novelty: For further development research, it is recommended that creativity assessment instruments have broader topics and are also equipped with Student Worksheets that can not only measure creative thinking skills but also measure the creative process and creative products.

Published: January 2025

Objective: This study examines the pattern and development of Islamic education in two critical regions of Islamic civilization in Europe: Andalusia and Sicily. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of Islamic education patterns, identify the stages of its development, and compare the dynamics of Islamic education in the two regions. Method The research uses a qualitative approach based on library research by analyzing primary and secondary sources related to the history of Islamic education in Andalusia and Sicily. Results: Research shows that the pattern of Islamic education in Andalusia is systematic and structured with a comprehensive curriculum, including religious and scientific sciences, and has formal educational institutions such as kuttab, mosques, and madrasas. Its development experienced a golden age in the era of the Umayyad Dynasty with the emergence of the University of Cordova. Meanwhile, in Sicily, Islamic education is more informal and flexible, focusing on teaching the Quran and Arabic in mosques. Its development peaked during the reign of King Roger II, who implemented a policy of tolerance and multiculturalism. A comparison of the two regions shows that Andalusia has a more established and influential education system than Sicily. However, both contribute significantly to the transfer of Islamic knowledge to Europe. Novelty: This research lies in a comprehensive comparative analysis of the characteristics and dynamics of Islamic education in the two regions, which previously tended to be studied separately. These findings provide a new perspective in understanding the contribution of Islamic education to the development of medieval European civilization.

Authors:   Food Standards Agency,   Food Standards Scotland
Published: January 2025

An application was submitted to the Food Standards Agency in April 2023 from Chr. Hansen A/S (“the applicant”) for the modification to the authorisation of an additive consisting of Bacillus subtilis DSM 32324, Bacillus subtilis DSM 32325 and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens DSM 25840 (GalliPro® Fit), under the category of ‘zootechnical additive’ and functional group ‘gut flora stabilisers’ for its use in feed and water in all poultry species for fattening and reared for laying or for breeding. Modification to the current conditions of use of the additive is sought to allow simultaneous use with the approved coccidiostats monensin, salinomycin, narasin, nicarbazin+narasin and lasalocid. The EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP Panel) concluded that Bacillus subtilis DSM 32324, Bacillus subtilis DSM 32325 and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens DSM 25840 (GalliPro® Fit) remains safe for the target species, consumers and the environment. The Panel concluded that the additive is not an irritant to the skin and eyes but should be considered a respiratory sensitiser. Skin sensitisation could not be concluded upon. The Panel concluded that the additive is compatible with the coccidiostats monensin, salinomycin, narasin, nicarbazin+narasin and lasalocid. The FSA/FSS has reviewed the applicant’s modification to the authorisation application, supporting documentation, and other regulators risk assessments, most notably the EFSA risk assessment opinion, and considers that sufficient evidence has been demonstrated to conclude without the need for further questions or risk assessment.

Published: January 2025

In this study, a hydrothermal method was applied for the synthesis of hierarchical ZSM-5 from sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) as a precursor using starch as a green template. The synthesis was conducted by the hydrothermal method with the molar composition of 1.000:0.250:0.067:30.00 for SiO2:NaOH:Al(OH)3:H2O. For comparison, the synthesis without the use of a template was also conducted. The two zeolites synthesized were then tested as catalysts for glucose production by hydrolysis of cellulose derived from rice husk. The results indicate that starch served as an effective template for the formation of hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite having mesopores with a surface area of 94.15 m2/g and pore diameter of 2.31 nm. The ZSM-5 synthesized with the use of a template was found to have a crystallinity of 76.33%, while the zeolite prepared without a template had a crystallinity of 79.25%. Hydrolysis experiments reveal that a glucose yield of 69.20% was achieved with the use of the H-ZSM-5 prepared with a template as a catalyst, while with the use of ZSM-5 prepared without a template the glucose yield of 42.42% was achieved. These different results justified the significantly higher performances of the ZSM-5 prepared with a template. Utilization of SCBA as raw material for the synthesis of hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite is a part of the green chemistry initiative since this research converts the industrial waste into functional material. In addition, the utilization of SCBA is also ecologically beneficial because no excessive chemicals are required in the preparation process.

Authors: H A Talat , G M Hatem , H A Nagwa 
Published: January 2025

This research is about studying the effect of adding some oxides, specifically cadmium and lead oxides at different substitution ratios to high-density polyethylene (HDPE) on the radiation protection properties of gamma rays. Based on this, we find that the polymer is characterized by the light weight of the protective material and increased flexibility in handling, while the lead and cadmium oxide fillings play their role as basic radiation attenuators in the polymer compound. High-density polyethylene (HD-PE) polymer composite samples filled with lead and cadmium oxides in the filler weight ratios of [5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) were prepared. Then, the HD-PE samples filled with (5% by weight, 10% by weight, 15% by weight, 20% by weight) micronized cadmium oxide and micronized PBO were charectrized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). After that they were exposed to gamma rays emitted from radioactive point sources [241Am, 133Ba, 137Cs, and 60Co],in order to determine some parameter as leaner attenuation coefficients, mass attenuation coefficients, and half value layer for HDPE composites in the wide photon energy ranges ( 59.53, 80.99, 121.78, 244.69, 344.28, 356.01, 661.66, 778.90, 964.13, 1173.25, 1332.50, and 1408.01) KeV, respectively, which cover low and intermediate energy ranges and this was done using a highly pure germanium (HPGe) cylindrical detector. The obtained results for the shielding properties were compared with that for pure HDPE(without fillers) to study the effect of micro-CdO and micro-PbO content on the radiation shielding properties of HDPE. The measurements showed that HDPE filled with such oxides has good shielding properties for low and medium energy gamma rays. In addition, the experimentally measured values ​​were compared with that calculated theoretically ​​by XCOM program and the comparison showed a remarkable agreement between them.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
The corrosion behaviors of austenitic stainless steels 304 and 316 were systematically examined in a 60 wt. % NaOH solution at 240°C under an oxygen partial pressure of 3.2 MPa. After 168h of immersion corrosion, the steady corrosion rates of 304SS and 316SS were determined as 6.60 mm/y and 4.28 mm/y, respectively, with 304SS showing higher corrosion rates under these conditions. Corrosion tests conducted at different durations helped to reveal the migration and transformation patterns of key elements in stainless steel in this aggressive environment. The corrosion mechanism was identified as a multi-stage process. Firstly, during corrosion, a metallic nickel layer forms near the surface, thus preventing the formation of a stable passive protective film. Secondly, chromium (Cr) and molybdenum (Mo) dissolve and convert into their respective soluble products, CrO42− and MoO42−, thereby destroying the integrity of the material. Finally, surface corrosion products tend to crack, leading to delamination and exposure of fresh surfaces to the corrosive medium, therefore accelerating the corrosion process. The investigation results in this work demonstrated the difference in corrosion resistance between 304SS and 316SS, revealing the reasons for the lack of corrosion resistance of stainless steels in oxidative high-concentration alkaline solutions.
