Design and Development of B2 Ti50Pd50−xMx (M = Os, Ru, Co) as Potential High-Temperature Shape Memory Alloys
Authors: Diale Ramogohlo , Ngoepe Phuti , Chauke Hasani 
Published: November 2023

In this chapter, the stability and phase transformation of B2 Ti50Pd50-xMx (M = Os, Ru, Co) alloys are investigated using density functional theory. TiPd alloy can be suitable for high-temperature shape memory applications due to its martensitic transformation capability from B2 to B19 at 823 K. It was reported that the binary Ti50Pd50 alloy is mechanically unstable at 0 K. A partial substitution of Pd with Os, Ru, or Co is investigated to determine which alloy will have the best properties. The heat of formation, density of states, and mechanical properties were determined to check the stability. The heat of formation was found to decrease with an increase in Ru and Os concentrations (condition of stability), consistent with the density of states trend. This is in contrast to Co addition, which indicates that the thermodynamic stability is not enhanced (heat of formation increases). It was also found that an increase in Os, Ru, and Co content stabilizes the Ti50Pd50 with a positive elastic shear modulus (C′>0) above 18.25, 20, and 31 at.%, respectively. This book chapter will provide valuable insights to guide experiments in the design and development of alloys.

Authors: B.O. Osman Mohamed 
Published: November 2023

This chapter focuses on data science, GIS-based spatial analysis, and knowledge management (KM) threesome and its potential contributions to sustainability insights. Discussion commenced with tracing the historical evolution and essentiality of geography for comprehending environmental and social dimensions of sustainability. Then, argumentation delved into the interplay among the threesome’s domains and their contributions to sustainability achievement. A prolonged elaboration was provided on geospatial data analytics, visualization, geospatial data mining, and predictive models and their significance for extracting informative and meaningful insights. Since data science has transformed and enriched most scientific disciplines, its empowering implications on GIS were explained. Spatial analysis, therefore, occupied a central position and enabled advanced GIS technique utilization to reveal patterns, relationships, and trends in geospatial data. Furthermore, the chapter explained the interdependent relationships between GIS and KM. Integrating GIS and KM techniques has revolutionized geospatial data organization, visualization, and dissemination and enhanced applications of decision support, environmental planning, and others. The Nexus of this threesome, therefore, serves as a roadmap for solving issues of intricate spatial problems via modeling and informed decisions. The chapter stressed and concluded that the integrated fusion of data science, GIS, and KM provides a robust framework and ideal tools supporting sustainability.
Improving the Quality of Drinking Water by Raising the pH Levels Using a Natural Na2SiO3 Physical Field
Authors: Mohamed Abdal-Salam Yehia Hesham , Mahmoud Said Said 
Published: November 2023

The sustainable development goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations aim to ensure access to clean water and sanitation for all. One way to improve the quality of drinking water is by using a natural substance made up of environmental elements. Therefore, it was necessary to maintain the degree of alkalinity of the water, starting from 7 pH level. While previous studies have focused on raising the pH levels of water by adding alkaline compounds, recent research has suggested using baking soda, which has a pH of approximately 9. However, there are several unfavorable health effects associated with adding baking soda to water, including hypokalemia, hypochloremia, high blood salt levels, deterioration of kidney illness, deterioration of heart failure. In this study, a substance made from silica using the thermal fusion method has been developed by the authors. This substance raises the pH of water without the need for additional components, using a physical field of 80 cm. The outcomes of the study demonstrated the efficiency of this natural chemical in improving water quality. Using a natural silica physical field to raise the pH level of water is a safe and effective method without the need for additional components that can have unfavorable health effects. The results recommended that water at 7 degrees is completely pure distilled water suitable for drinking in normal ways and indicated that alkaline water with a pH between 8.5 and 10 degrees is beneficial for people suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. Moreover, improving drinking water quality is essential for achieving the SDGs, specifically SDG 6, which aims to ensure access to clean water and sanitation for all. By utilizing natural methods to improve water quality, we can work toward achieving a more sustainable and equitable future.
Perspective Chapter: Microclimate, Plant Stress and Extension of Cacao Frontiers to Marginal Agroecologies of the Rainforest Tropics
Authors: Ohikhena Agele Samuel , Samuel Ibiremo Olufemi , Titilayo Oladitan 
Published: November 2023

Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) is an important cash crop of the rainforest tropics where it is a major foreign exchange earner, industrial raw material, livelihood, and offer ecosystem services. The rainforest of the tropics is noted for high productivity potential for cacao, however, and its development prospects is beset with numerous challenges among which is the threat of climate change which is setting new ecological boundaries. The new regimes of climate are expected to affect the area suitable for agriculture, thus, crop species are bound to grow in areas where they were not previously grown and areas that were hitherto not suitable for their production. Nevertheless, the shifting environment conditions and associated marginal growing environment conditions (weather: (increasing warming and drought) and soil) may offer opportunities for extending crop frontiers beyond its current ecological boundaries. It is therefore necessary to develop strategies for alleviating constraints imposed by changing environmental conditions thus setting the agenda for climate smart adaptable and sustainable production systems. In addition, efforts to unlock the potentials of the new environmental boundaries for crops will benefit from knowledge, technologies and innovations and climate mitigation.

Published: November 2023

Este trabajo formula una propuesta de unidad didáctica que explora las posibilidades de enseñar historia en las aulas de secundaria y bachillerato a través del estudio de un fenómeno y un caso en particular: el de la Prisión Provincial de Pamplona. A través de esta, se propone estudiar el siglo XX y, en concreto, las décadas que siguen a 1936 y su contexto histórico, social y político. Así, además de la represión franquista, también dará pie al análisis de otros procesos político-sociales de gran importancia a finales del siglo XX como, en este caso, la Insumisión.
Además del desarrollo del pensamiento histórico y el análisis crítico de la información, esta unidad didáctica apuesta por la utilización de diversas fuentes en el estudio de la historia, acercando así al alumnado al trabajo que realizan los historiadores e historiadoras. Por otra parte, también explora metodologías como el Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas (ABP) y otros métodos que garantizan un aprendizaje significativo e integrado.
Architecture, Buildings, and Political Ends
Authors: Fisher Saul 
Published: November 2023

It is not infrequently heard in architectural circles that architecture is an inherently political enterprise and pursuit, such that build structures are, correspondingly, inherently political objects. But does architecture, by its nature as practice or artifact, universally serve political ends? Taking ends of something X to be political iff X serves the projection of power by state or government, or advances policy-making, ideologies, or the body politic, it may be thought that
AP1. Architecture, in its products, always serves political ends.
on the grounds that, roughly speaking, wherever one looks, one finds cases providing evidence that
AP2. Buildings (built structures, generally) always serve political ends, and
AP3. Buildings (built structures) are the only products of architecture.
On the supposition that this fairly tracks the common view, I take for granted that the argument goes through if the premises are defensible. I propose, though, that neither AP2 nor AP3 are defensible, at least in the grand, universal fashion that they are offered.

Contrasting Dimensions behind the Use of Irony and Humour in Times of Crisis
Authors: Alba-Juez Laura 
Published: November 2023

In this article the discourse of irony and humor is explored in two sets of memes generated in times of crisis, namely the recent Covid pandemic and the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. Different versions of macro memes are examined in both sets through the lens of the Inferred Contradiction Theory of irony (Alba-Juez 2014). The main research questions were: 1) What type(s) of irony is/are exploited to make the memes humorous? 2)What type of inference is found in the inferred contradiction that is essential for the comprehension of the ironic humor in the memes? 3) What is the main function of the irony (and humor) in the memes? A qualitative discourse-pragmatic analytic method was used, together with a simple quantitative analysis of the types of irony used. The analysis shows that the humorous irony in the memes is always based in some kind of contradiction that has to be inferred at some discourse-linguistic level, displaying instances of not only propositional but also illocutionary irony, as well as other kinds of irony where the inferred contradiction is found in the subplicit information that is shared by the interlocutors, or even in the images shown. The results reveal that most of the jokes in the memes were sarcastic and thus the inferred contradiction led to the negative evaluation of some person or situation. The irony in the majority of the memes was of the conversational, negative and propositional types, and the functions fulfilled by the ironic humor were found to serve contrasting and contradictory motivations (aggressiveness towards the out-group and affiliation with the in-group), as well as that of amusing the readers.

Published: November 2023

Background
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are chronic, progressive inflammatory diseases that can be accompanied by other diseases. In recent years, with the increase in the lifespan of individuals, the concept of polypharmacy has become more prominent. We aimed to show the prevalence of polypharmacy and the effects of polypharmacy on disease activity in RA and PsA.

Methods
This study included PsA patients who had peripheral joint involvement and, RA patients. Since PsA has a heterogeneous clinical picture, only patients with peripheral joint involvement were included in the study and patients with inflammatory low back pain or radiological sacroiliitis or spondylitis, dactylitis or enthesitis were not included in the study due to homogeneity concerns. The numbers of medications used by the patients at the onset of their treatment and at sixth months into their treatment were recorded. Polypharmacy was accepted as the simultaneous use of at least five medications by the person. The Disease Activity Score 28 joints C-Reactive Protein (DAS-28 CRP) was used to assess disease activity for both disease. The modified Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) scores of the patients were calculated based on their chronic diseases.

Results
The sample of the study included 232 RA and 73 PsA patients. Polypharmacy was present at the treatment onset in 115 (49.6%) of the RA patients and 28 (38.4%) of the PsA patients. At the sixth month of treatment, polypharmacy was present in the sixth month of the treatment in 217 (93.5%) RA and 61 (83.6%) PsA patients. The mean ages of the RA and PsA patients who were receiving polypharmacy treatment at the beginning were significantly older than the mean ages of those who were not receiving polypharmacy treatment. In both the RA and PSA groups, the patients with polypharmacy at the beginning had statistically significantly higher DAS-28 CRP scores at six months of treatment than those without polypharmacy at the beginning (p < 0.001).

Conclusion
Polypharmacy was present both at the time of diagnosis and in the treatment process in the RA and PsA patients, and the presence of polypharmacy at the beginning of the treatment was among the factors that affected the treatment of these patients by significantly affecting their 6th-month DAS-28 CRP values.
