Congo Red Dye Degradation by Graphene Nanoplatelets/Doped Bismuth Ferrite Nanoparticle Hybrid Catalysts under Dark and Light Conditions

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The continuously growing need for clean water has increased research looking for new and efficient ways to treat wastewater. Due to its magnetic properties, Bismuth ferrite, a photo-catalyst, has introduced a novel field of photo-catalysis where the photo-catalytic material could easily be separated from the aqueous solution after wastewater treatment. Herein, a new type of photo-catalysts, composed of Gadolinium (Gd) and Tin (Sn), co-doped Bismuth Ferrite deposited over graphene nanoplatelet surface have been synthesized using a two-step method. In first step, Gd (fixed concentration 10%) and Sn (5%, 15%, 20% and 25%) were doped inside bismuth ferrite (BFO) host using sol-gel method (namely the BGFSO nanoparticles, abbreviated for Gd and Sn doped BFO). In the second step, BGFSO nanoparticles were introduced onto GNPs using co-precipitation method (namely the BGFSO/GNP nanohybrids). The x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the chemical bonding between co-doped BFO and GNP sheets via oxy and hydroxyl groups. The photocatalytic activities of the nanohybrids under both, visible light and dark conditions have been increased, and the maximum degradation activity (74%) of organic dye Congo-red (CR) is obtained for 25% Sn-doped BGFSO/GNP nanohybrid. The photocatalytic activity may be attributed to enhanced adsorption capability, electron storage properties of graphene and the presence of oxygen-rich species inside nanohybrids. Based on the current overgrowing population and need for clean water, these materials present versatile potential as catalysts for wastewater treatment.

Humanitarian logistics : performance measurement and the role of shipping (Part I)

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

A relief organisation’s performance is highly dependent on how well their logistics functions, as a significant portion of a disaster relief operation is about logistics. Together with the increasing focus on transparency and accountability to donors and various stakeholders, performance measurement plays growing importance to the sector. However, although performance measurement is well established in commercial logistics, there is a lack of performance metrics in the humanitarian sector, possibly due to the unique characteristics of humanitarian logistics that inhibits defining and measuring performance. Therefore, this report aims to come up with a set of performance measurement framework for relief organisations to measure its supply chain performance, specifically the procurement function in humanitarian logistics. This is achieved through literature review studying the differences between commercial and humanitarian logistics, in order to extract the unique characteristics of the humanitarian sector. Additionally, literature reviews on considerations in creating performance measures, as well as current performance measurement frameworks are explored, before selecting Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR®) model and adapting it to suit humanitarian procurement. After the framework is created, it will be applied to the case study of the World Food Program (WFP) /logistics cluster operations in the cyclone Nargis disaster.
The Ghanaian "small business traveller" - a conceptual paper on Tourism Marketing

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Objectives - The purpose of this paper is to profile the tourism sector in Ghana taken from the purview of small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs). Prior Work – Scholarly discourse on SMEs in Ghana is scant at worse and fragmented at best. Most existing literature is in the manufacturing sector; very little in services; and almost nothing in the tourism sector. Approach – This exploratory study is based on an initial documentary analysis with a view for the development of in-depth case studies of leading SMEs in the Ghanaian tourism sector. Results – The contribution of SMEs to the tourism sector in Ghana has not been duly acknowledged in the literature. However, it is arguable that players in the tourism sector may not have drawn attention to themselves as a result of neither having fully appreciated the range of incentives available to them nor leveraged these. Implications – It is interesting that Ambassador James Victor Gbeho, President of the Commission of the Economic Community of West African State (ECOWAS), opened a three-day West African Business Development Workshop and Exhibition only recently, aimed at promoting market development practices for SMEs to expand their operations in a more integrated West African market. With the theme “Expanding your Business in West Africa: A Strategic Approach”, it remains unclear as to how SMEs in the country have leveraged the opportunity. Value – In their appeal to the investor community, the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) highlighted the availability of a “generous incentive and tax holidays for private investors” in the acknowledgment that “business tourist activities” constituted over half of international tourist arrivals. This paper consequently provides an academic front to the public policy provisions for the development of the Ghanaian tourism sector.
Investigating an Adapted Process Genre Writing Model and Its Implications for Undergraduate Thai Students

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Teaching academic writing to English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students poses significant challenges, often requiring instructors to adapt their instructional strategies to effectively meet learners' diverse needs and contexts. This study investigates the impact of an adapted process genre writing model, enhanced with teacher-prepared materials, on improving the academic writing proficiency of tertiary-level students at a public university in Thailand. A quantitative research method was employed for this study, involving a sample of 48 participants selected through convenience sampling. Over one semester, these students received intensive instruction based on the adapted process genre writing model. Data collection involved administering pre-and post-tests to measure changes in writing performance, with statistical analyses conducted using descriptive statistics and paired-sample t-tests to determine the significance of any improvements. The results revealed statistically significant improvements (p < .05) in participants' writing proficiency, demonstrating the effectiveness of the adapted process genre writing model. The results suggest that integrating customized instructional resources into this framework can significantly support the academic writing development of Thai EFL undergraduates. The study's implications for EFL instruction are substantial, suggesting that a well-structured, genre-based approach, supplemented with tailored instructional materials, can significantly elevate students' writing proficiency in academic contexts. Recommendations for further research include exploring the long-term effects of this instructional model on students' writing abilities and investigating its applicability across different language proficiency levels and cultural settings.
Evaluation of Visual Analogue Scale, Oswestry Disability Macnab Index and Criteria Post Action Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression (PLDD) on Types of Lumbal Disc Herniation in Rsud Dr. Moewardi Surakarta

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression (PLDD) is a minimally invasive procedure for disc herniation that is known to be faster and effective. This retrospective study is analytic observational. The study was conducted at the Regional General Hospital dr. Moewardi Surakarta. Subjects were patients who had PLDD from January 2020 to December 2020 with total sample of 30 respondents. Evaluation of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was performed before the PLDD action was carried out, 1 month and 3 months after. The Macnab criteria was evaluated 3 months after the PLDD action. There was a significant difference in VAS between before and after PLDD, 1 month and 3 months. There was a significant difference in the ODI score before and after 1 month and 3 months, but not in the ODI value after 1 month and 3 months. Twenty patients (66.7%) showed good satisfaction following PLDD with Macnab criteria. The significant improvement in VAS of patients with lumbar disc herniation after PLDD were directly as a result of decreasing intradiscal pressure due to vaporization by laser energy, especially in the herniated area and tissue pressure. As the pain subsided, ODI scores in this patients would improve. PLDD in patients with intact lumbar disc herniation led to a significant improvement in VAS and ODI scores. PLDD can be used as an option in the management of patients with low back pain due to an intact lumbar disc herniation.
Diagnosis and management of dysphagia in patients with tracheostomy tube after cardiac surgery: an early screening protocol

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

SCOPE. Patients with tracheostomy tube after major cardiac surgery undergoing Cardiac Rehabilitation Program often present swallowing disorders that need a specific evaluation. This study aimed at validating the usefulness of a swallowing screen protocol in order to obtain an early assessment of dysphagia and to prevent aspiration, malnutrition and dehydration risks. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The protocol has been applied to 38 consecutive patients with tracheostomy tube after cardiac surgery between September 2007 and December 2009. The average age of patients was 73 ± 6 years; the average value of left ventricular ejection fraction was 41 ± 4%. The protocol included a water swallowing test and a specific swallowing test with blue dye. During tests, the presence of signs of swallowing dysfunction was evaluated and oxygen saturation levels were monitored. RESULTS. Out of 38 patients, 2 did not show any swallowing deficits; 18 showed deficits in the water swallowing test even though they presented a preserved swallowing function during specific swallowing test. All these 20 patients (53%), before discharge, restarted an oral feeding and obtained an adequate body mass index and effective coughing, so they were soon decannulated. Twelve patients (31%) showed deficits during the water swallowing test, confirmed by the specific swallowing test with blue dye: the tracheostomy tube was not removed and a specific program of swallowing rehabilitation was performed. Before discharge all patients restarted an oral feeding, recovered an effective coughing and were decannulated. Six patients (16%), because of persistent dysphagia, underwent percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. None of these 38 patients developed ab ingestis pneumonia, dehydration or malnutrition. CONCLUSIONS. An early assessment of swallowing in patients with tracheostomy tube after cardiac surgery allows the selection of patients with higher aspiration risk, preventing possible severe complications.
Gamified physics instruction in a reformatory classroom context

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Gamification is the use of game elements and game-design techniques in non-game contexts. It has five main elements: points, badges, leaderboards, rules and levels. A classroom that has any or all of these elements can be considered a gamified classroom. This study explored the effects of a gamified environment to the motivation and achievement of high school students in Physics. The framework of the study is anchored on the Self-Determination Theory which claims that humans are inherently active, inquisitive and self-motivated even without external reward. However, extrinsic motivators can be converted to intrinsic motivators if they are meaningful, pleasurable and consistent with a person's worldview. To determine if gamification has a significant effect on the student motivation, the students' responses to the pre-gamification and post-gamification administration of the Physics Motivation Questionnaire were compared using the paired sample t-test on SPSS. Its effects to student achievement in Physics, on the other hand, was identified after calculating the mean normalized gains for all the pretests-posttests administration after each of the 5 modules. Feedback from students, teacher-implementer and external observers were collected and analyzed. Results showed that gamified instruction brings about a significant increase in student achievement in Physics but not in student motivation. However, the feedback coming from students, teacher-implementer and external observers substantiate the influence of gamification to student motivation. Implementation must be done properly so that no unhealthy competition develops, no student becomes extremely grade conscious that he or she ends up resorting to cheating and that an environment conducive to learning is maintained inside the classroom. Consequently, it is recommended that more rigorous studies should be done to further confirm or invalidate the effects of gamification in learning Physics that are exposed in this study.
Seismic Reflection Images of the Major Ore-Controlling Structures in the Eastern Goldfields Province, Western Australia

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Gold mineralisation in the Eastern Goldfields Province of the Yilgarn Block, Western Australia, is associated with shear zones within the greenstone supracrustal succession. Regional shear zones are imaged in seismic reflection sections as bands of strong reflections. Although individual wavelets within the bands of reflections can only be correlated over small distances, the bands of reflections can be correlated over tens of kilometres. The Bardoc Shear, adjacent to which considerable mineralisation has been found, dips west and links with the Ida Fault, which forms the boundary between the Eastern Goldfields Province and the Southern Cross Province farther west. The Ida Fault dips east at about 40°, and can be traced from the surface to about 27 km depth. Bands of reflections within the upper and middle crust have a similar seismic signature to the Ida Fault, Bardoc Shear Zone and the basal detachment of the greenstones, and are therefore Interpreted as shear zones. Interpreted shear zones in the upper crust under the greenstones mostly dip west. Shear zones in the lower crust dip east. The upper crust east of the Ida Fault and below the Bardoc Shear is an exception. There, east-dipping shear zones, including the Ida Fault, are interpreted to extend from the lower crust into the upper crust, thereby providing a simple plumbing system for mineralising fluids migrating from the lower crust, into the Bardoc Shear, and then to high levels in the greenstones.

The incorporation of Dynamic Computation Techniques allows for flexible and scalable processing of complex traffic data, facilitating rapid decision-making and adaptation to changing conditions. This multidisciplinary approach not only improves traffic efficiency and reduces congestion but also paves the way for more resilient and sustainable urban transportation systems. The findings highlight the transformative potential of combining AI, Blockchain, and advanced computation methods in the field of traffic control.
Concepções de graduandos de pedagoaia sobre sua formação ética e a relação com seu trabalho pedagógico

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The Psychology of Morality is an area that has to be strengthened in the academic environment for social, political and scientific. The research of Jean Piaget (1932) on the development of moral judgments are the main sources for this area of knowledge, followed by studies of Lawrence Kohlberg (1981), Jose Maria Puig (1998) and others. This project intends to investigate and analyze the conception of the ethical training of graduate students of Pedagogy, Unesp, Campus Bauru, in order to see how these conceive their ethical, what importance they give to the subject and how to relate such training to the work that will develop with their students. Some research has shown a total lack of respect for the theories and concepts related to the issue by presenting a framework of moral indifference since graduation, space in which there is discussion about major educational theories. Through the proposed research is to analyze whether such a deficiency exists and educate future educators of the fundamental importance of its role in moral education and ethics of their students
The Possible Role of Nanocurcumin in Rat Model of Statin Induced Myopathy: Histological and Immune Histochemical Study

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Background: Statins are the most commonly used drugs for reducing hypercholesterolemia. Unfortunately, statins induced myopathy is a common side effect of statins. Usually represented by fatigue, muscle pain, muscle tenderness, muscle weakness and nocturnal cramping. Curcumin has been proved as anti –inflammatory agent in the inflammatory conditions. Aim: This research aimed to study the protective effect of nanocurcumin on the histological changes produced by atorvastatin in the skeletal muscles. Material and Methods: A thirty albino rats (2-3 months old) were used in the present study. The rats were randomly divided into four groups. Group I: (five rats) and was used as a control group (control) , they were given 2 ml carboxy methyl cellulous (0.5%)orally through orogastric tube daily for 4 weeks. Group II: (five rats) They were given nanocurcumin in a dose of 15ml \kg b.w orally through orogastric tube daily for 4weeks. Group III: (ten rats) They were be given atorvastatin in a dose of 40 ml \kg b.w orally through orogastric tube daily for 4 weeks and divided into two subgroups. Group III a (animal model): scarified 24h after the last dose. Group III b (recovery group): scarified 2weeks after the last dose. Group IV: (ten rats) they were given atorvastatin in a dose of 40 ml \kg b.w orally through orogastric for 4 weeks followed by nanocurcumin in a dose of 15mg \kg b.w orally daily for 4weeks. Results: Degenerative and apoptotic changes were observed in the skeletal muscles in the atorvastatin treated groups, these changes could be attenuated by administration of nanocurcumin. Conclusion: Apoptosis is a mechanism of atorvastatin induced myopathy. Nanocurcumin particles could attenuate this process and attenuated the toxicity of the drug. After stoppage of atorvastatin some of histopathological changes could be recovered.
