Published: July 2023

The purpose of this study is to find out the opportunities and challenge prevail to private’s schools in the city of Kabul. Data were collected using semi structured interview. The interview is conducted with the principal and teachers of private schools in Kabul. The thematic analysis has done to obtain the results and findings of the study. In this research, opportunities and challenges such as discipline, daily study time in schools, parental involvement, course completion, socio-economic challenges of students and private schools were found to be some important factors. Classroom facilities and infrastructure are not well equipped in private schools, parental involvement, and syllabus completion were found to be less considered in the study. The challenges that are prevail to private schools are student’s misbehavior, lack of infrastructure and resources, lack of advanced technologies, strict rules and regulation by higher education of Afghanistan, lack of budgets, no support by the government, and no standardized curriculum, which are serious issues that are prevail to private schools. There are some opportunities such as eligibility to apply for different international scholarship, passing international exams, transportation, and internet facilities. Afghanistan is already plagued with different views on national and international issues due to the different curricula taught by different institutions in different schools during the war. Some of the differences found in this research are significant and may give students additional benefits.
Strengthening Disaster Management Discourse: An Evaluation of Disaster Education in Africa’s Regional Platforms for Disaster Risk Reduction
Authors: Bang Henry 
Published: July 2023

Purpose: Considering that the pedagogic space for disaster risk reduction (DRR) education is critical for enhanced resilience to disaster risks, this paper interrogates regional DRR education discourse in Africa. The focus is on the scope and depth to which DRR education has been mainstreamed into high-level regional meetings/platforms in the African continent. For this to be realised, first, the paper assesses whether the Africa Regional Platforms (ARPs) and high-level Ministerial Meetings for DRR perceive DRR education as a critical tool for mitigating disaster risks. Secondly, the paper gauges the depth to which identified determinants of DRR education have been integrated into the ARPs and High-Level Ministerial Meetings for DRR.
Methodology: By utilising a post-positivist qualitative research approach, the paper has scrutinised primary data from all the ARPs and High-Level Ministerial Meetings for DRR spanning close to twenty-five years. All sourced documents were sorted, coded and thematically analysed. The coded categories captured the extent of DRR education discussed in the regional platforms/meetings, the number of determinants of DRR education discussed in the various platforms and the depth with which the determinants of DRR education were discussed. A Likert scale grading ranging from “Poor” as the lowest and “Excellent” as the highest was used to assess the enquiries and inform the findings.
Findings: Through critical analysis and assessment, the findings have revealed the limited integration of DRR education during high-level DRR meetings in Africa. The analysis reveals an inconsistent and unsystematic DRR discourse during the Platforms/Meetings. Based on the Likert Scale grading, the two main enquiries of this research (scope of DRR education and the integration of DRR education determinants during the various Platforms) were both deemed to be “mediocre to fair”. Although this assessment is subjective, it paints a good picture of the integration of DRR education into risk aversion discourses at the highest level in the African continent.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: This paper pioneers the first in-depth assessment of DRR education discourse at the highest regional level in Africa. It contributes by augmenting the literature on DRR education discourse and determinants of DRR education; provides DRR insights to educators, students and practitioners and has policy implications for the governance of disaster risks at the highest African regional level. Considering the pivotal role of education in strengthening resilience to disaster risks, the findings provide a compelling argument for mainstreaming DRR education into the ARPs and high-level Ministerial Meetings for DRR. Arguably, this would expedite DRR education uptake by African countries.

Establishing an Optimal Online Phishing Detection Method: Evaluating Topological NLP Transformers on Text Message Data
Authors: Milner Helen , Baron Michael 
Published: July 2023

This research establishes an optimal classification model for online SMS spam detection by utilizing topological sentence transformer methodologies. The study is a response to the increasing sophisticated and disruptive activities of malicious actors.We present a viable lightweight integration of pre-trained NLP repository models with sklearn functionality. The study design mirrors the spaCy pipeline component architecture in a downstream sklearn pipeline implementation and introduces a user-extensible spam SMS solution. We leverage large-text data models from HuggingFace (RoBERTa-base) via spaCy and apply linguistic NLP transformer methods to short-sentence NLP datasets. We compare the F1-scores of models and iteratively retest models using a standard sklearn pipeline architecture. Applying spaCy transformer modelling achieves an optimal F1-score of 0.938, a result comparable to existing research output from contemporary BERT/SBERT/‘black box’ predictive models. This research introduces a lightweight, user-interpretable, standardized, predictive SMS spam detection model that utilizes semantically similar paraphrase/sentence transformer methodologies and generates optimal F1-scores for an SMS dataset. Significant F1-scores are also generated for a Twitter evaluation set, indicating potential real-world suitability.

Purpose: The study examined the accessibility to Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETfund) interventions and its effect on academic staff job performance in universities in Southwest, Nigeria.
Methodology: Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population consisted of 11864 Nigeria public universities academic staff. Nine hundred and twenty-seven (927) universities’ academic staff constituted the sample for the study. TETfund Interventions Questionnaire (TIQ) was administered on other academic staff while Academic Staff Job Performance Questionnaire (ASJPQ) was used by Heads of Departments (HODs) to assess the performance of academic staff. The face and content validity of instruments were ensured by experts in test and measurements. The consistency of the instruments was carried out using test-retest method. Coefficients of 0.86 and 0.87 were obtained for TIQ and ASJPQ respectively. Research question was answered using frequency counts and mean. Hypotheses were tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation coefficient (PPMC). All hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance.
Results: The results revealed that there was a positive relationship between research, conference, further study grants and academic staff job performance. It also revealed that the universities and the academic staff cannot easily access research grant, conference attendance grant and further study grant that are provided through TETFund.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study has been able to make case for the review of policy frameworks of TETFund in order to make more impact in the area of knowledge creation and sharing. Furthermore, the interventions that are needed to guarantee optimal outputs from university academic staff were identified.
The Influence of Soil Decompaction and Amendments on Soil Quality
Authors: Percival Glynn C. , Graham Sean , Franklin Emma 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Urban soil is often compacted during anthropogenic activities, which
presents a challenging substrate for tree growth. Two techniques for
decompacting soils (air spading and vertical mulching) were evaluated alone
and in combination with the soil amendment biochar and/or a woodchip mulch.
Effects on soil quality (bulk density, organic matter, vegetation ground
cover, cotton strip degradation, root dry mass, and earthworm counts) were
monitored over 5 years. A combined treatment of air spading, biochar, and a
woodchip mulch layer proved optimal in improving the soil quality of a
heavily compacted soil over the 5-year period. This treatment was, however,
the most expensive and time-consuming. A woodchip mulch was the most
effective of the individual treatments and the most cost-effective. Air
spading alone proved reasonably effective in improving soil quality over the
5-year study period. Effects of air spading could be improved by addition of
a woodchip mulch. Vertical mulching alone or in combination with biochar had
little influence on soil quality over 5 years. Results demonstrated that
effective long-term soil decompaction measures exist for arborists to
improve compacted soils.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
American sycamores (Platanus occidentalisL.)
are found in many ecosystems and planted in urban landscapes worldwide. The
trees are highly susceptible to anthracnose and canker pathogens, causing
leaf blight and branch dieback. On The Ohio State University campus in
Columbus, Ohio, an American sycamore was observed to thrive among many
symptomatic sycamores. The healthy tree, subsequently protected as cultivar
‘Davis,’ was vegetatively propagated and tested for field resistance to
natural infection of canker pathogens compared to the wildtype. Incidence
and severity of leaf necrosis, incidence of dieback, and tree death were
evaluated for 2 consecutive seasons. The incidence of leaf necrosis was
disconnected from the incidence of dieback and tree mortality, as little to
no leaves were produced on the wildtype trees. By the end of the second
season, 7 out of 12 wildtype trees were dead, while all 12 ‘Davis’ trees
were alive. Several canker pathogens were recovered from both ‘Davis’ and
the wildtype, includingApiognomonia
plataniandDiaporthe eres. The
latter had not been previously reported on American sycamore. Pathogenicity
tests confirmed thatD. eresis indeed pathogenic
on sycamores and also that ‘Davis’ is significantly more resistant than
wildtype to canker development and should be preferred over the wildtype in
the urban landscape.

Authors: Panchishnyi V. I. , Vorobiev I. Yu. 
Published: July 2023

Introduction (problem statement and relevance). The oxidation catalysis provides the necessary efficiency and performance of diesel filters for trapping dispersed particles and systems for selective treatment of nitrogen oxides. In addition, oxidation catalysts can be a tool for neutralizing emissions of methane and some non-regulated but very hazardous polycyclic and partially oxidized hydrocarbons. There are also poorly studied theoretical issues of oxidation catalysis associated with mutual influence of toxic components contained in exhaust gases of diesel engines.The purpose of the study is to clarify the oxidation catalysis role in the general problem of after-treatment of toxic emissions of diesel engines, development and testing of catalysts and converters for neutralization of toxic combustion products of engines powered by natural gas.Methodology and research methods. Research into the catalysts under flow conditions using modern methods of gas analysis, IR spectroscopy, engine tests of the developed catalytic converters.Scientific novelty and results. The paper shows the role of oxidation catalysis in solving the common problems of after-treatment of hazardous emissions of diesel engines including both direct after-treatment of toxic compounds and supporting functions. Catalysts of higher efficiency and a series of converters for gas engines have been developed. Innovative methods to increase the resistance of oxidation catalysts to sulfur oxides have been proposed.Practical significance. The developed catalysts and converter designs are recommended for implementation in KAMAZ-820.52-260 and Cummins 250 and 280 gas engines.

Introduction (problem statement and relevance). In addition to the toxic substances generated during fuel combustion in the engine, the vehicle generates a significant amount of hydrocarbons in the form of fuel vapors generated as a result of evaporation from the fuel tank and fuel system components. The evaporation process parameters and the amount of fuel evaporations are determined by dynamics of fuel heating in the tank in various vehicle operation modes. Modern requirements for the limit level of emissions caused by evaporation become much stricter. Therefore, the solution of the task of fuel evaporation minimization and prevention of ingress thereof into the atmosphere is relevant and practically significant. The purposes of the studies are to develop a model of the processes of evaporation generation in the vehicle fuel tank based on the analysis of mathematical modeling and experimental research results as well as to develop the optimum strategy and algorithm of the canister feed.Methodology and research methods. In the study, a combination of analytical methods of the classical thermodynamics with modeling in the Simcenter Amesim integrated program platform environment is used.Scientific novelty and results. It has been found that transition from feeding the canister with an open vapor space to evaporation in a fixed-volume space allows significant reduction of the amount of hydrocarbons delivered to the canister.Practical significance. It has been found and proved that accumulation of hydrocarbons in a closed tank with discrete cyclic feed of the canister allows significant reduction of evaporation generation and lowering of the requirements for the canister parameters. An algorithm of optimum canister feed is suggested.
