Published: August 2023

ABSTRACTGrounded in the Freire’s (1971) critical pedagogy premise stating that education should impact social change and reading words should be followed by reading the world, this study explores the experiences of English language teachers who teach English reading classes with the critical pedagogy approach. We employed qualitative research with a case study as the research design to dig into the depth of teachers’ perspectives. The data were garnered through in-depth interviews with four lecturers and analyzed following Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis. The present study revealed that teachers’ understanding of critical pedagogy is not explicitly stated by defining or explaining the notion of critical pedagogy. However, some stages and components of critical pedagogy can be identified, showing that to a certain degree the teachers implement critical pedagogy in their reading classes.ABSTRAKBerdasarkan premis pedagogi kritis Freire (1971) yang menyatakan bahwa pendidikan harus berdampak pada perubahan sosial dan membaca kata-kata harus diikuti dengan membaca dunia, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi pengalaman guru bahasa Inggris yang mengajar membaca bahasa Inggris dengan pendekatan pedagogi kritis.

Published: August 2023

Türkiye ekonomisinin küreselleşme ve dışa açılma sürecinde bankacılık sektörü ekonomiyi en fazla destekleyen güç olmuştur. Türk bankaları son kırk yıllık dönemde teknolojik altyapısını, iş görme şeklini, finansal ürünlerini hızla geliştirmiş, sermaye yapısını güçlendirmiş, yurtiçinde şubeleşme, yurtdışında finansal iştirak edinme yoluyla büyümesini sürdürmüştür. Bu büyüme sürecini destekleyen en önemli unsur ise bankaların sağlam finansal yapıları ve kârlılık performansındaki iyileşmedir. Kârlılık bankacılık faaliyetlerinde verimliliğin bir göstergesi olduğu gibi piyasa değerinin artırılması, rekabette başarı sağlanması ve varlığının devamında en önemli belirleyici olmuştur. Bankalarda kârlılık performansının belirleyicilerine yönelik olarak çok sayıda çalışma yapılmış, bankaların kârlılıkları arasındaki farklılıkların banka yönetimlerinin etkileyebildiği bankalara özgü içsel faktörlerden mi, yoksa banka yönetimlerinin etkileyemediği makroekonomik gelişmelerden mi etkilendiği konusu farklı ülke, banka grupları ve dönem bazında araştırılmıştır.
Bu çalışmada, özgün bir yaklaşımla Türk Bankacılık Sisteminde faaliyet gösteren piyasa payı en yüksek on beş bankanın kârlılıklarının sektör ortalaması ile yakınsayıp yakınsamadığı stokastik yakınsama yöntemi ve 2003:Q1-2021:Q4 dönemi için çeyrek frekanslı veriler kullanılarak ve doğrusal olmayan birim kök testlerinden faydalanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Banka kârlılıklarının sektör ortalamaları ile uyumlu olduğu, kârlılık oranlarında endüstri içi farklılıkların küçük ve piyasa yapısıyla ilişkisiz olduğunu varsayılmaktadır. Birim kök testleri sonucunda durağan olduğu tespit edilen bankalar için seçilen dönem ve kârlılık yapısının yakınsadığı ve bankalar arasında yoğun bir rekabetin olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Published: August 2023

Background: Phosphatase producing bacteria (PPB) plays a major role in mineralising organic P into inorganic form. Though application of bacterial biofertilizers are practiced in agriculture, their application is very limited in aquaculture. Method: The PPB isolates were screened and isolated from rhizospheric sediment of mangrove, Avicennia marina of Ennore creek, Tamil Nadu. Their P transformation potential and the possibilities of their application in aquaculture to mineralise organic P to inorganic P were studied. Result: Twenty PPB isolates were screened in the study site and their Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) activity was in the range of 13.6-20.4 µmol.ml-1.hr-1. Out of this, five Bacillus sp isolates were selected to assess their P transformation potential at various salinity. The P mobilizing potential of these isolates were compared with the commercial PPB following a microcosm study for a period of 14 days. During the study period, there is a significant increase in phosphorus in water as well as ALP activity and available phosphorus concentrations in sediments were observed between control and treatment tanks. Among the treatment groups, B. subtilis treatment tanks showed maximum P in water ie. 1.60mg.L-1, followed by B. altitudinis –1.49mg.L-1; B. pumilus –1.47mg.L-1; the soil ALP activity was in the order of commercial P products greater than B. pumilus greater than B. subtilis greater than B. paramycoides greater than B. altitudinis greater than B. aryabhattai. In terms of available phosphorus content in sediments on 14th day, there is no significant difference observed between B. pumilus and commercial product with respect to available P content of sediment.

» Pediatric hand and upper limb differences include a wide range of conditions that may be genetic, part of a syndrome, or arise from birth trauma or an unknown cause.» Because of the variety of conditions and complexity of care requiring professionals from multiple disciplines, the Pediatric Hand Team is similar in purpose to the coordinated multidisciplinary care provided by Craniofacial Panels for children with craniofacial anomalies. Pediatric hand surgeons are trained to lead and coordinate the care of children with these differences, and the Pediatric Hand Team includes occupational and/or certified hand therapists, child life specialists, geneticists and genetic counselors, prosthetists and orthotists, pediatric physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians, pediatric orthopaedic surgeons, pediatric anesthesiologists, and social workers and psychologists. The Team must also have access to pediatric imaging, including ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging.» Treatment of hand differences may include observation, splinting/bracing, therapy, reconstructive surgery, or a combination of these, and indications vary with development, age, associated conditions, and child and family preference. Children who have challenges coping with the stigma of their difference may benefit from programs such as Hand Camp and the Lucky Fin Project.» Multiple online and print resources are available to support the Pediatric Hand Team and the child's family and other caregivers.» A well-coordinated team-based approach meets the physical and psychosocial needs of the child with hand and upper limb differences from birth to adulthood.

Published: August 2023

The issues of modeling when navigating around obstacles of a mobile robot using machine learning methods are considered: Q-learning, SARSA algorithm, deep Q-learning and double deep Q-learning. The developed software includes the Mobile Robotics Simulation Toolbox, Reinforcement Learning Toolbox, and the Gazebo visualization package for environment simulation. The results of the computational experiment show that for a simulated environment with a size of 17 by 17 cells and an obstacle 12 cells long, training using the SARSA algorithm occurs with better performance than for the others.An algorithm for avoiding obstacles without the use of machine learning is proposed, and it was shown that the speed of avoiding obstacles using this algorithm is higher than the learning speed using deep Q-learning and double deep Q-learning, but lower than using the SARSA and Q-learning algorithms. . For the proposed algorithm, a numerical experiment was carried out using the robot movement simulation environment in Gazebo 11 and it was shown that cubic obstacles are being avoided faster than cylindrical ones.

Abstract
The paper is based on successful well placement in a mature gas field located in Middle Indus basin. The well was placed at a down-dip location in a water-drive compartment and yielded positive results. The paper provides comprehensive understanding of compartment’s complex dynamics, subsequent reservoir modelling, well location optimization and post well results.
Identification of infill location in the compartment of interest was challenging due to complicated dynamic behavior described by water encroachment and pressure re-charging mechanisms. The compartment has observed unusual water encroachment where water breakthrough occurred initially in up-dip wells. When analyzed in synergy with adjacent compartment, this unorthodox water encroachment mystery was resolved. In addition, the compartment has also observed significant gas pressure recharging from underlying tight sands. In fact, the compartment has produced substantially higher than its initial gas in-place implying enormous potential in these tight sands. Therefore, the infill well was planned with the aim to exploit this tight sand via conventional sand.
These above-mentioned understandings complemented in dynamic modelling which was accordingly history matched and subjected to sensitivity runs for location optimization. Forecast performed at different well locations helped in the identification of sweet spot at downdip location which ensured maximum recovery.
Subsequently down-dip location was preferred for drilling. Post well results came as per premised and validated pre-drill understanding of the compartment. Successful wells result provided sustainability to overall field production. In addition, it also helped in consolidating confidence in tight sand potential and its gas support and has provided further infill drilling opportunities.
The paper highlights the significance of utilizing all available historical datasets and conventional analyses to resolve an unorthodox problem which apparently depicted no further potential and development opportunity in an asset where significant resources were still to be exploited. The workflow adopted helped in de-risking the opportunity and identifying optimum location for downdip well placement against the intuition and general understanding.
An Experimental Approach to Investigate Role of Brine Salinity and Surfactant on Clay, Sandstone & Carbonate Samples
Authors: Hassan Mohsin , Nadeem Kashan 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The main theme behind this experimental study is to define the effect of salinity on clay, sandstone, and carbonate samples. Secondly, interactions at liquid-liquid and solid liquid scale along with IFT and contact angle measurements has also been investigated in this study.
In this study, Alcohol Alkoxy sulfate sodium salt (AAS) has been used as a surfactant. The reason of using this surfactant is that it forms type III type micro emulsion which helps in reducing the oil/water interfacial tension to a very low value and also it has a low critical micelle concentration of less than 0.1%. Brine salinity of 1-6 % is used for this experiment. Interfacial tension between different fluids is measured by injecting oil into brine of different salinities. Camera is used for recording injection of oil droplet into the brine, by the help of image software contact angle is calculated which in turn helps in estimating interfacial tension. Contact angle for solid liquid interaction is measured by pasting bentonite, sandstone, and carbonate samples on glass slide with the help of epoxy glue. After placing glass slide in front of camera oil droplet is injected using syringe then brine is added at constant flow rate due to which after certain droplet is detached and recorded on camera. The droplet is then analyzed on image grab software which estimates interfacial tension.
According to this study, when there is a liquid-liquid interaction, the interfacial tension decreases as the brine is diluted. According to the results of the experiments, the concentration of NaCl in brine is gradually reduced from 6% to 1%, and the interfacial tension decreases.
This is attributed to the fact that low – salinity water-flooding alters the wettability towards water – wet condition thus causing imbibition, a prominent driving force during tertiary oil recovery processes.
With the ever – increasing demand of energy, this study is conducted with the sole purpose of performing an in-depth analysis on the processes governing recovery during application of tertiary recovery. In future different surfactant and salinity concentrations should be studied on actual field core samples to better characterize the dominant trend and formulation of a standard relationships for industrial applications. This could be helpful in defining and delineating the untapped oil within Pakistan and across the globe.
Power Generation from Depleted Oil & Gas Wells – A Feasibility Study
Authors: Mustaqeem Syed Ahsan , Hussain Naeem Ul 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
There exist several medium and low temperature geothermal sources in different areas of Pakistan. In those geothermally active areas, there are producing oil and gas wells with reservoir temperatures in the range 300-400°F. Such high temperature reservoirs generally have wells with well head flowing temperatures in the range from 200-300°F especially in water drive reservoirs. Hence, in water drive reservoirs, once hydrocarbons get depleted and wells get water out, the aquifer energy still keeps producing water, this produced water can be used for power generation through "Organic Rankine Cycle". As most of the oil and gas fields in Pakistan are located at remote locations with no connection to the national electric grid, this concept can turn depleted wells from a liability to an asset. This paper encompasses a comparative thermodynamic study of different geothermal power plant concepts, based on the produced water temperatures. Based on our analysis, the proposed technique can save millions of dollars & further improve field economics and help overcome power generation issues in remotely operated fields/areas of Pakistan. Moreover, the excess power generated from depleted wells, may in some instances be transferred to grid nearby.

Abstract
Uncertain geo-political situations, adverse effects of climate change, domestic gas supply shortage of ~1300 MSCF per day and skyrocketing imported LNG prices are major challenges being faced by energy sector of Pakistan. These challenges are unbalancing energy equation of the country resulting huge dent to national economy in terms of increased electricity and gas tariffs for all consumers.
The share of LNG in Pakistan's energy mix has been steadily increasing since LNG was first imported in 2015. In 2018, this share is increased from 5.6 % to 8.7 % in 2019 respectively. The prime purpose of LNG import was to expedite shift from utilization of expensive furnace oil for power production. The power sector consumes the 18 % of LNG imports, followed by general industries and the fertilizer sector, which are utilizing it both as feed and fuel stock.
In terms of price benchmark in 2019, LNG import prices ranges from $7 - $10 / MMBtu and decreased to less than $2 / MMBtu in 2020 whereas, LNG price hike witnessed in October 2021 with single shipment selling as high as $ 56 / MMBtu. Pakistan, which sources more than half of its LNG from spot markets, had to face this price increment around $30 / MMBtu. The procurement on hiked prices and timely non-availability of LNG denting country's economy in the form of hyperinflation, energy shortage and food insecurity. In order to balance national energy equation, government of Pakistan is proposing for installation of more LNG terminals but at the same time, high spot prices of LNG are having direct impact on the cost of power production when LNG is utilized as a fuel. For instance, in last winter season, fuel costs allocated for LNG power plants was as high as USD 0.088 / KWh, while the cost of electricity generation from solar and wind energy stood at USD 0.033 / KWh which is clear depiction of feasible solution for meeting national energy demands. In current scenarios, diversion of attention and financial investments towards renewable energy sector of Pakistan is pragmatic solution for overcoming national energy shortage.
Reservoir and Fracture Characterization for Enhanced Geothermal Systems: A Case Study Using Multifractured Wells at the Utah Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy Site
Authors: Zeinabady D. , Clarkson C. R. 
Published: August 2023

Summary
For enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), multistage hydraulic fracturing along a deviated or horizontal well is a key technology used to create a high-conductivity fracture network between injection and production wells in deep, low-permeability geothermal reservoirs. The purpose of the created fracture network is to allow for the efficient transfer of fluid, heated by the geothermal reservoir, from the injection to the production well; therefore, well spacing (between injection and production wells) and hydraulic fracturing must be designed not only to promote connectivity between well pairs but also to mitigate thermal short-circuiting and thermal breakthrough. Analysis of post-fracture pressure decay (PFPD) data measured after each stage of a hydraulic fracturing treatment can be used to provide critical reservoir and fracture parameters required for well and hydraulic fracturing design optimization; this method provides a low-cost alternative and complementary approach to in-situ observation techniques, such as core-through experiments, fiber optics, or image logs in offset wells. Until now, PFPD has primarily been applied to multifractured horizontal wells (MFHWs) completed in low-permeability hydrocarbon reservoirs. The goal of this study is therefore to develop a methodology to estimate fracture and reservoir parameters using stage-by-stage PFPD data associated with EGS projects. An analytical model is proposed herein to estimate fracturing fluid efficiency, fracture length, average fracture aperture, average fracture conductivity, and reservoir permeability for different possible fracture geometries in EGS reservoirs. PFPD data collected for three hydraulic fracture stages in the injection well at the Utah Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) site were analyzed to demonstrate the practical application of the proposed method. The results of this study indicate that, due to the presence of natural fractures in the target (granitic) reservoir, the hydraulic fracturing treatment (using slickwater) in the openhole section resulted in low fracturing fluid efficiency and small hydraulic fractures. In contrast, hydraulic fracturing treatments conducted in the perforated casedhole wellbore resulted in higher fracturing fluid efficiency and created larger hydraulic fractures even with smaller injected volumes. The results of the PFPD analysis were confirmed using a Formation MicroScanner image log and microseismic data collected during each stage of hydraulic fracturing.

AbstractPurposeImprovements in chronic myeloid leukaemia treatment mean it is now relevant to examine the experiences of living with this cancer over a lifetime. This qualitative study aimed to investigate the impact of chronic myeloid leukaemia, from patient and healthcare practitioner perspectives.MethodsThe research was set within the UK’s Haematological Malignancy Research Network; a population-based cohort of patients newly diagnosed with blood cancer, treated at one of fourteen hospitals. Purposive sampling led to interviews with seventeen patients and thirteen health care practitioners. Data were analysed using thematic analysis.ResultsTwo analytical themes, “Significant impact of disease and treatment” and “Mediators of the impact of disease and treatment”, along with six sub-themes, were derived from patient interviews, and supported with data from practitioners. Chronic myeloid leukaemia was described by patients as having significant and widespread impact, which could be mediated by their knowledge, social support networks, and the quality of healthcare systems. Practitioners reflected patient accounts, but could underestimate the impact of this cancer. They generally viewed chronic myeloid leukaemia as less complex, severe and impactful than acute blood cancers; a message that reassured patients at diagnosis, but could later unintentionally contribute to difficulties discussing side effects and struggles to cope.ConclusionChronic myeloid leukaemia may significantly impact individuals, particularly as it is experienced over the lifetime. Greater understanding and discussion of the breadth and extent to which patients are affected, including potential mediators, could enhance clinical care.
