Abstract

Quality teaching methods such as Diagnostic Remedial Teaching (DRT) and the positive attitude of teachers significantly enhance the academic achievement of the students. This study investigates whether traditional teaching methods and negative attitudes of teachers play any significant role in the poor performance of low academic achievements. The study's objectives were to determine teachers' attitudes toward low academic achievers, Diagnostic Remedial Teaching (DRT), and the problems involved in implementing DRT in the classrooms. The sample size covers 42 Federal Government Educational Institutes (FGEI) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, involving 230 teachers and 22 principals. Findings reveal that the teachers hold a positive attitude toward implementing Diagnostic Remedial teaching (DRT) in the classroom. Still, inadequate training and heavy workloads of the teachers were the primary challenges. In addition, their attitudes toward low academic achievers were positive. However, they held negative attitudes towards those students who enrolled in the institutes without qualifying for the admission test standard criteria.

Abstract

In the framework of international efforts to achieve carbon neutrality, this research investigates the potential of petroleum reserve residue as a sustainable energy source, focusing on unconventional crude oils. The discovery of alternative resources, such as bitumen, heavy crudes, and high-acid crudes—which combined make up almost two-thirds of the world's oil reserves—has become necessary due to the depletion of traditional oil stocks. This study looks at the difficulties in processing these non-conventional oils, especially their high acidity, which poses environmental risks and severely corrodes refinery equipment. The article discusses a revolutionary method for upgrading and treating these unconventional crudes without the need for external catalysts or molecular hydrogen, utilizing supercritical fluids (supercritical methanol and water). The evaluation emphasizes how well this process works to produce synthetic crude oil that is appropriate for use in refineries that are currently in operation by lowering asphaltenes, contaminants, and total acid numbers (TAN). There are suggestions for more study into low-temperature, low-pressure catalytic alternatives, although the economic feasibility of high-temperature, high-pressure processes is questioned. One important step in striking a balance between technical growth and environmental preservation is the emphasis on the potential of this methodology in promoting sustainable energy production and lowering environmental pollution.
