The concept of generation is used to describe a group of people who were born in the same years and experienced similar social events, troubles and obligations under the conditions of the same age. Generational formation is generally classified according to age and sociological phenomena. However, today, factors such as technology, differentiating social values, changing career perceptions, education and working conditions reveal the necessity of evaluating the classification according to different dimensions. The field of professional competence is an important issue all over the world. Especially with the technology that has developed and continues to develop in recent years, the qualifications of teachers in this field are important. We live in the age of technology. The aim of this study is to determine the opinions of teacher candidates studying at the Faculty of Education about the ‘Media Literacy’ course. For this purpose, the case study method, one of the qualitative research approaches, was used. 71 students studying in the Faculty of Education at the university constituted the study group of the research. Semi-structured interview questions prepared by the researchers were used. In the analysis of data collection tools, the qualitative data analysis programme NVivo 8.0 was used and the results were interpreted with content analysis. When the results obtained from the research were examined, it was concluded that the media literacy course should be given in earlier periods. The most preferred media tools were television and the Internet. It has been concluded that media literacy provides human skills and teaching in the teaching process. Considering the results of this research, the importance of the media literacy course in terms of professional development at the university was emphasised.

A Field Study: Minimizing Gas Flaring Through Reuse to Produce Electricity and Petrochemical Products
Authors: Biheri Ghith , Amoura Ashrf , Elmaleh Khaled , Nouh Abubaker 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
A novel strategy has been implemented in Libyan oil companies to eliminate the environmental impact of gas flaring by utilizing the associated gas to produce electricity and petrochemical products. This strategy would have significant environmental and economic advantages. The primary purpose of the study is to investigate the scenarios that could further facilitate the reduction of natural gas pollution in one of the Libyan oil companies caused by flaring and its utilization in power stations.
More than 27% of the associated gas is flared daily in Libya due to an inability to monetize or store the associated gas. However, a new technique uses the flared gas to produce energy at a power station located approximately 30 miles from the oil fields. This power station has four units with a total capacity of 640 megawatts. In recent years, the power station was operated using crude oil, despite it having been designed to be operated by gas as well. It was found that it would cost much less to produce the electricity if natural gas were used instead of crude oil.
The evaluation demonstrated that switching from flaring the gas to reusing it to generate energy or create petrochemical products has significant environmental benefits. These benefits include a reduction in released toxic components and air pollution, which limits contribution to climate change and reduces health hazards, particularly in residential areas near the oil fields. In addition, this method of reusing flared gas exhibits some economic benefits, such as the ability to manufacture electricity from natural gas rather than costly crude oil. In addition, the associated gas can be used to optimize supply of products such as methanol, ethylene, and ammonia.
This research seeks to discuss and develop efficient and effective solutions to avoid flaring associated gas, which is considered a waste of valuable natural resources, and reuse it in order to maintain a clean environment and provide economic benefits by using the associated gas to produce electricity and supply it to various petrochemical businesses.

Authors: Ma Zhiwei , Chen Bailian , Pawar Rajesh J. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The design of optimal infrastructure is essential for the deployment of commercial and large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. During the design process, it is important to consider CO2 capture and storage locations and CO2 transport pipelines to minimize the total project cost. SimCCS, first introduced in 2009, is an integrated open-source tool to optimize CCS infrastructure. The core CCS infrastructure design problem is structured as a mixed-integer linear programming problem in SimCCS by selecting the optimal pipeline routes, searching CO2 source capture and storage locations, and determining the corresponding amounts to meet desired capture targets. Multiple important and practical features have been added to the latest version of SimCCS (SimCCS3.0), including (1) the temporal model which enables the user to investigate the impact of the enhanced 45Q tax credits on CCS infrastructure and to implement dynamic evolution of CO2 point sources (decommissioning and shutting down existing facilities and opening of new facilities), and (2) the consideration of utilizing the existing CO2 pipelines. We demonstrate the newly developed features in SimCCS3.0 using one CCS infrastructure optimization case study. The results from these case studies reveal that the inclusion of those developed features is particularly useful to optimize the dynamic deployment of CCS projects. SimCCS3.0 is available for public use via GitHub.
Scaling Equations for Benchtop Laboratory Simulator of Wellbore Hydraulics
Authors: Alarfaj Mohammed Nabil , Zhang Wei , Mehrabian Amin 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Determining frictional pressure losses along a wellbore annulus is the key to estimation of the wellbore equivalent circulating density. Flow-loop experiments are often used at smaller scales of flow to measure the frictional pressure losses. However, a complete set of scaling equations between the measured pressure drop in a flow loop device and the one occurring in the wellbore has not been reported in the literature.
This study applies dimensional analysis to make such connection while accounting for drill pipe rotation, eccentricity, and cuttings load in the annular flow of power-law drilling fluids. Simultaneous application of geometric, kinematic, dynamic, and rheological similarities allows for developing direct relations between the operational and flow quantities at the laboratory and wellbore scales of flow. For this purpose, the pertinent dimensionless groups are identified and set equal between the two flow scales.
Results indicate that scaling the two-phase flow of drilling fluid and cuttings entails nine (9) dimensionless groups. The obtained scaling equations provide the required volumetric rate of fluid and particles, the inner pipe rotation speed, as well as the fluid rheology and other design parameters of the flow-loop device to establish the full similitude with the corresponding wellbore hydraulics. In particular, the Reynolds number of cuttings necessitates introducing a constraint on the rheology of fluid to be used in the laboratory flow loop. Once all scaling requirements of the considered similitude are applied, the pressure gradient along the wellbore annulus can be obtained directly in terms of the measured pressure drop in the laboratory flow loop.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background: The aim of the current study was to investigate current dental practice in operative dentistry in Jordan, and the relationship between evidence-based dentistry in caries research and decision making in clinical practice in operative dentistry.
Methods: The study was conducted through a survey of dentists in Jordan. The survey aimed to explore the degree of knowledge and practice of evidence-based dentistry in caries research the dentists possess regarding clinical decision making in operative dentistry.
Results: Nearly half of the surveyed dentists focus on the chief complaint of their patients (50.8%) rather than doing full mouth assessment. Nearly two-thirds of dentists (65.2%) treat lesions confined to enamel with operative treatment. Half of dentists use operative treatment when asked about the routine management of radiographically detected proximal caries confined to enamel. When treating incipient lesions, the majority (80.5%) use preventive treatment, and three-quarters of dentists treat deep dentinal caries by removing just the soft infected carious dentin, and treated old failed restorations with replacement.
Conclusion: clinical decision-making in operative dentistry is not based solely on evidence-based dentistry. Research findings are not translated clinically. To optimize relationship between evidence-based dentistry and clinical decision-making dental curriculum has to be updated and modified constantly.

Abstract

Bismuth Oxyiodide (BiOI) hierarchical structures were fabricated from the solution route at room temperature (BiOI-R) and solvothermal synthesis (BiOI-S) in the presence of KI and ethylene glycol to improve the photocatalytic and adsorption ability for the removal of ciprofloxacin from the aqueous environment. In this study, BiOI was characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm (BET), UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, and pH of the point of zero charge (pHpzc). It was observed that the BiOI-S has better adsorption and photocatalysis capacity as a result of having more surface area, higher light absorption ability, and lower band-gap energy than the BiOI-R. The response surface methodology was applied to optimize the conditions of contact time, BiOI dosage, ciprofloxacin initial concentration, and pH for ciprofloxacin adsorption and photocatalytic processes using BiOI-S. The results show that the optimum conditions of ciprofloxacin removal processes obtained as contact time of 90 min, BiOI-S dosage of 2 g/L, and initial ciprofloxacin concentration of 2 mg/L, solution pH of 4.5 for adsorption processes. Meanwhile BiOI-S dosage of 1.5 g/L, initial ciprofloxacin concentration of 3.5 mg/L, and contact time of 108 min were the best condition for photocatalytic degradation. Additionally, the adsorption isotherm and kinetic studies fitted the Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order model, respectively. The ciprofloxacin adsorption capacity value for BiOI-S of 3.799 mg/g was obtained and photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin by BiOI-S followed the pseudo-first-order rate reaction based on Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics.

Abstract
Bosten Lake is the main drinking water source, fishing area and grazing area for residents in Korla. The pollution of phthalate esters (PAEs) in water has attracted much attention, but limited research has been conducted on PAEs in Bosten Lake. The distribution of PAEs in 15 sampling sites of surface water in the autumn of 2021 was investigated to explore PAE pollution in Bosten Lake, and the risk was evaluated. Seventeen PAEs were detected by GC-MS after liquid–liquid and solid-phase purification. Results showed that 14 other PAEs, except for DMEP, BBP and DNOP, were detected in varying degrees. ΣPAE was 1.1023–4.5640 µg/L, and DIBP contributed the most. The PAE pollution in the lake was mainly derived from the living and industrial applications of surrounding towns. In the health risk assessment, the noncarcinogenic risk values (HQ) of the four PAEs, namely, DBP, DEP, DIBP and DMP, at each sampling site showed the trend of children > women > men, and the HQ values were less than 1. DEHP had carcinogenic risk, which was less than 10− 6, indicating that the effect of PAE in Bosten Lake on human health was very low and negligible.

Abstract
Individuals with prodromal symptoms of Lewy body disease (LBD), such as rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD), often showed imaging defects similar to patients. We examined dopamine transporter (DaT) single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT) and metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy in 69 high-risk subjects with ≥ 2 prodromal symptoms (dysautonomia, hyposmia, and RBD) and 32 low-risk subjects without prodromal symptoms, whom were identified through a questionnaire survey of health checkup examinees. The high-risk subjects had significantly worse scores on Stroop test, line orientation test, and the Odor Stick Identification Test for Japanese than the low-risk subjects. The prevalence of abnormalities on DaT-SPECT was higher in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group (24.6% vs. 6.3%, p = 0.030). A decreased uptake on DaT-SPECT was associated with motor impairment, and MIBG scintigraphy defects were associated with hyposmia. The simultaneous evaluation of DaT-SPECT and MIBG scintigraphy may capture a wide range of individuals with prodromal LBD.

Abstract
Sugarcane vinasse has been widely reported due to the improper management that pollutes the environment. In this study, a combined coagulation and sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) seems to be a novel improvement for the treatment of sugarcane vinasse. This research focused on the optimal conditions of coagulation and SBBR and determined the abatement efficiency of sugarcane vinasse in combined sequential wastewater treatment. The coagulation process destabilizes the colloids in the aggregation and separates the supernatant by sedimentation and filtration, resulting in the maximum COD reduction (79.0 ± 3.4%) and decolorization efficiency (94.1 ± 1.9%) under the optimum conditions. Sequencing batch reactor (SBR) is a fill-and-draw activated sludge system, whereas SBBR is an integrated SBR that suspends activated sludge and connects growth processes into a biocarrier-filled system. SBBR showed great synergistic degradability, decreasing 86.6 ± 4.3% COD concentration and 94.6 ± 3.8% decolorization at 3.0 g/L of substrate loading concentration. Furthermore, kinetic studies of SBBR revealed that the first-order kinetic model was the best fitting model. The SBBR reaction was further investigated by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV–Vis). Then, SBBR followed by the coagulation process (SBBR–CP) achieved 97.5% of COD reduction and 99.4% of decolorization, which was better than the coagulation process followed by SBBR (CP–SBBR). This finding provides new insight into developing efficient combined sequential wastewater treatments in sugarcane vinasse.

Abstract
Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease that affects several populations worldwide with the clinical manifestations in skin, mucous membranes, and internal organs and there are not any effective and available vaccines and conventional treatments are highly toxic. Quercetin is a kind of flavonoid with different biological effects including free radical scavenging and anti-microbial activity and this study is aimed to assess the Anti-leishmania and Anti-malarial effects of quercetin loaded phytosome and quercetin alone. In this experimental study, the in vitro activity of above drugs were measured using microscopically examinations and for evaluation the anti-leishmanial efficacy, the size of lesions were measured. Moreover the cytotoxicity of the treatments was evaluated on WI38 and J774 cell lines. Our results indicated that quercetin loaded phytosome and quercetin alone have acceptable anti-parasitic activity mostly at concentration of 400 µg/ml on both P. falciparium and L. major. The results of cytotoxicity revealed that the mentioned drugs have no effects on human cell lines and also have no hemolytic activity. The drug of choice for the treatment of leishmaniasis, in addition to killing the parasite, should not have a toxic effect on human cells and our results indicated that quercetin can be a valuable candidate for treatment of different kinds of leishmaniasis.
Fuzzy rough sets based on modular hememetrics
Authors: Zhang Guangxv , Yao Wei 
Published: October 2022

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a notion of modular hemimetrics, an extension of hemimetrics and modular metrics, as the basic structure to define and study fuzzy rough sets by using the usual addition and subtraction of real numbers. We define a pair of fuzzy upper and lower approximation operators and investigate their properties and interrelations. It is shown that upper definable sets and lower definable sets are equivalent. Definable sets form an Alexandrov fuzzy topology such that the upper and lower approximation operators are the closure and the interior operators respectively. At the end, an application of the modular hemimetrics based fuzzy rough set to the acquisition of color gradient images is proposed.
