Modeling and Simulation of Cadmium Removal from the Groundwater by Permeable Reactive Barrier Technology
Authors: Faisal Ayad Abdulhamza , Hmood Zaman Ageel 
Published: June 2023

The removal of cadmium ions from simulated groundwater by zeolite permeable reactive barrier was investigated. Batch tests have been performed to characterize the equilibrium sorption properties of the zeolite in cadmium-containing aqueous solutions. Many operating parameters such as contact time, initial pH of solution, initial concentration, resin dosage and agitation speed were investigated. The best values of these parameters that will achieved removal efficiency of cadmium (=99.5%) were 60 min, 6.5, 50 mg/L, 0.25 g/100 ml and 270 rpm respectively. A 1D explicit finite difference model has been developed to describe pollutant transport within a groundwater taking the pollutant sorption on the permeable reactive barrier (PRB), which is performed by Langmuir equation, into account. Computer program written in MATLAB R2009b successfully predicted meaningful values for Cd+2 concentration profiles. Numerical results show that the PRB starts to saturate after a period of time (~120 h) due to reduce of the retardation factor, indicating a decrease in percentage of zeolite functionality. However, a reasonable agreement between model predictions and experimental results of the
total concentration distribution of Cd2+ species across the soil bed in the presence of zeolite permeable reactive barrier was recognized.

Authors: Elvira Sophia , Fitriza Zonalia 
Published: June 2023

The independent curriculum is a curriculum that applies due to learning loss that occurred in the 2013 curriculum during the COVID-19 pandemic. Teachers do not understand the concept of the curriculum as a whole so that the independent curriculum is difficult to understand and accept. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the depth and breadth of the material in the independent curriculum. This study aims to describe the suitability of the structure and content of the independent curriculum on the basic law of chemistry material based on the revised bloom taxonomy, Dave and Dyers taxonomy and chemical standard textbooks. This type of research is descriptive with a qualitative approach. This study used a content structure analysis research design derived from the Model of Educational Reconstruction (MER). The results of the research obtained in structural analysis are: (1) the elements of chemical understanding are in accordance with the revised bloom taxonomy, (2) the element of process skills only dominates abstract skills, (3) the elements of the pancasila profile contain abstract skills and the realm of attitudes. Meanwhile, in the content analysis, namely: (1) the breadth of material in CP basic laws of chemistry is appropriate in the high school book from the Ministry of Education and Culture, (2) the depth of material there are some materials that are not suiTable based on the chemistry textbook written by Brady edition 7.
The True Cost of Financialization: Housing, Human Rights, and Climate Change
Authors: Perucca Julieta , Freeman Sam , Farha Leilani 
Published: June 2023

Local governments can play a pivotal role in the fight against the housing and climate crisis. Through their actions they can deliver healthy, happy, inclusive, sustainable cities, which ensure the protection of our environment. While this is clearly an essential enterprise, it will be no mean feat. To succeed will require a fundamental reimagination of our current housing system and the investment structures behind it. Globally, housing has become increasingly financialized. Rather than being treated as a fundamental human right—a place where individuals, families, and communities can live in peace, security, and dignity—housing is often primarily valued as a vehicle for generating wealth ( Farha, 2017 ). Real estate investment has transformed into an extractive industry ( Sassen, 2014 ). It incentivizes the construction of housing, generating greater levels of greenhouse gas emissions, while increasing rents and housing costs, all as a means of generating profit ( Farha et al., 2022 ). To protect our societies and our planet, governments must create policy frameworks that affirm housing as a fundamental human right and centralize the environment, thereby shifting housing investment toward more regenerative practices that contribute to the provision of decent, affordable, and sustainable housing for all. This Policy Guidelines article explores three ways in which the financialization of housing is negatively impacting both the climate and the right to housing and provides policy recommendations based on The Shift Directives: From Financialized to Human Rights Based Housing, to support governments in developing human rights-based policy that can address the climate and housing crises.

Published: June 2023

This study aimed to Â explore the potential relationship between academic performance, socio-academic background, and student perception of the Flipped Learning (FL) pedagogical strategy over a five-year period in a health related subject. Â The goal was to identify the actual benefits of FL in university education. A total of 385 students participated in this longitudinal study, with 77.7% having prior experience with FL. It was observed that students with a higher grade in secondary education and with economic benefits approved in a higher percentage, while students from private schools presented a higher failure rate in the same subject. In addition, a direct association between positive perception and approval was observed in higher courses, but not in freshmen years , where the use of FL did not have the expected effects. By comparing student performance, academic background, socioeconomic conditions, and perception, it was concluded that FL is effective Â for higher-level students but not for thoseÂ in initial courses. These findings prompt reflection on the significance of context in implementing pedagogical innovations and highlight the need for further research in university education.

Published: June 2023

Groundwater lowering is a method of stabilizing landslide slopes. To date, the effect of water reduction on the technical condition of buildings has not been sufficiently studied. This may negatively affect the technical condition of buildings due to the development of additional deformation of foundations and foundation soils.Purpose: The aim of this work is to assess the impact of cased hole with filters on the technical condition of buildings in the area of groundwater lowering.Methodology/approach: Long-term field observations of the groundwater level at the water supply site; monitoring of the technical condition of buildings; analysis and generalization of the data obtained.Research findings: Based on annual monitoring of the building height, monitoring of changes in the building state and the engineering and geological analysis are performed in the period from 1987 to 2020. It is found that groundwater lowering leads to building deformation and a decrease in its technical condition due to nonuniform soil compaction in this area.Research implication: Groundwater lowering near buildings can significantly affect their technical condition due to the soil compaction even at a considerable distance from the waterlowering devices. In developing groundwater lowering projects, special attention should be paid to heterogeneity of the ground layer on the building site and its impact on the formation of relative deformation of buildings.
Concentrated effect of drying agents on mechanical performance of clay soil
Authors: Alkaev E. N. , Lunev A. A. 
Published: June 2023

In modern construction, more and more attention is paid to the roadbed quality. At the same time, in most regions of the Russian Federation there is a shortage of natural building materials of the required quality. In this regard, methods of stabilizing natural clay soils should be developed to satisfy the regulatory documentation.Purpose: The chemical additive effect on mechanical properties of clay soil.Methodology: The proposed method of concentrated effect of drying agents (lime, active fly ash) can potentially improve the mechanical performance of clay soils, i.e., strengthen the soil. Compressive strength testing of clay soil (light powdery loam) includes its treatment in hydrated lime in the amount of 2, 4 and 6 wt.%, hydrated high-calcium fly ash in the amount of 4, 8 and 12 wt.%, and a combination of slaked lime and chemical additives-accelerators (CaCl2, FeSO4, NaOH) in the amount of 0.5 and 1.0 % of the dry soil mass.Research findings: Even small amounts of lime improve the clay soil strength, which exceeds the effect from the fly ash introduction by 194 %. CaCl2 and NaOH additives significantly accelerate the strength gain. The introduction of FeSO4 improves the strength gain kinetics at the first stage (up to 7 days) and further causes a complete destruction of the material structure. The compaction also shows a significant decrease in the tensile strength during the time between the dry agent introduction and compaction.

Published: June 2023

<p>Fine particulate matter is primarily released by transportation, residential and industrial processes. It can cause cardiopulmonary problems and has been attributed to the development of diabetes. Ontario is Canada’s most populous province and shares its southern border with the United States of America. The 2003 Canada-United States Border Air Quality Strategy outlines an initiative to reduce air pollution, specifically targeting southern Ontario due to its proximity to the U.S. and its historical air pollution levels. Ambient air concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in southern Ontario were analyzed in this research. The data were obtained from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. There are 40 stations across Ontario that monitor concentrations of up to six airborne pollutants on an hourly basis. The purpose of this research was to examine ambient air quality trends from 2003 to 2012 by generating prediction surfaces using the ordinary kriging spatial interpolation technique. Average PM2.5 levels for each year as well as maximum pollutant concentrations for the lowest and the highest year were produced. The results showed that fine particulate matter levels decreased, and the maximum levels per year also declined significantly. This indicates that fine particulate matter was greatly reduced and air quality generally improved in terms of PM2.5 during the analysis period. </p>
A multi-Criteria Wetland Suitability Index for Restoration across Ontario’s Mixedwood Plains

Published: June 2023

<p>Significant wetland loss (~72%; 1.4 million hectares) in the Province of Ontario, Canada, has resulted in damage to important ecosystem services that mitigate the effects of global change. In response, major agencies have set goals to halt this loss and work to restore wetlands to varying degrees of function and area. To aid those agencies, this study was guided by four research questions: (<em>i</em>) Which physical and ecological landscape criteria represent high suitability for wetland reconstruction? (<em>ii</em>) Of common wetland suitability metrics, which are most important? (<em>iii</em>) Can a multi-criteria wetland suitability index (WSI) effectively locate high and low wetland suitability across the Ontario Mixedwood Plains Ecozone? (<em>iv</em>) How do best sites from the WSI compare and contrast to both inventories of presettlement wetlands and current existing wetlands? The WSI was created based on seven criteria, normalized from 0 (low suitability) to 10 (high suitability), and illustrated through a weighted composite raster. Using an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and importance determined from a scoping review of relevant literature, soil drainage had the greatest meaning and weight within the WSI (48.2%). The Getis-Ord Gi* index charted statistically significant “hot spots” and “cold spots” of wetland suitability. Last, the overlay analysis revealed greater similarity between high suitability sites and presettlement wetlands supporting the severity of historic wetland cannibalization. In sum, this transferable modeling approach to regional wetland restoration provides a prioritization tool for improving ecological connectivity, services, and resilience. </p>
An Architecture Of Permanence
Authors: Lesiège Marie-Hélène 
Published: June 2023

<p>In a globalized and fast-moving world, the experience of time can be strengthened by weathering, decay, and the patina. However, a rejection of this experience has been central to the conceptualization of permanence in architecture. </p>
<p>This thesis investigates what constitutes permanence by revisiting diverse perspectives. Departing from the sole perspective of physical durability, it becomes essential to consider aging, transformations, and the passage of time. Challenging conventional approaches, a renewed framework that addresses both the continuum of time and contrasting spatial conditions is formulated. </p>
<p>The design proposal articulates itself as a series of three installations in a revitalized urban park, located on the Peel Basin’s former flour dock, in the Montréal Lachine Canal. It conveys permanence by supporting collective traces from the past, a plurality of voices, and the unfinished condition of architecture. Conceptualized as a succession of vast and confined spaces, they engage in an architectural journey of discovery, reflection, and reminiscence. </p>
The Etymology Of Craft
Authors: Tratnik Gregor A. 
Published: June 2023

<p>There exists a fundamental separation between architecture and construction, as hierarchies of knowledge place mind over body, and design over workmanship. This thesis attempts to mend these cultural mischaracterizations by understanding the etymologies of knowledge, industry, and craft, through definitions of tool, maker, and material, to demonstrate craft as the plane on which architecture and construction can be brought together harmoniously. This is then applied to the context of Toronto, at first through brick materiality and construction, and later the fire station archetype, tracing the dialogical consequences of building cultures through ontological construction examined via the tectonic poetry of the joint to produce a discourse of craft knowledge based in design and workmanship synchronously. By mining the rich traditions of craft, a renewed understanding of architecture is yielded, one where workmanship and design become extensions of one another, achieving a rich diversity through the act of making, and re-instilling diverse regional character. </p>
