Abstract

Understanding the natural flows in porous media with specific hydraulic characteristics is crucial for advancing science and engineering. This study examines the hydraulic properties and fluid dynamics of sand samples collected from eight locations along the Osun River bed at five-meter intervals in November 2023. Significant variations in hydraulic characteristics were identified by comparing the findings with international soil classification standards. The effective grain size ranged from 0.20 mm to 0.32 mm, with most samples between 0.30 mm and 0.31 mm. Sample F had the smallest grain size, indicating finer sand. Flow velocities varied from 1.57 cm/s to 2.41 cm/s, with the highest observed at locations B and E. Flow rates ranged from 1.23 × 10² cm³/s to 1.89 × 10² cm³/s, also highest at B and E. Reynolds numbers ranged from 1.39 × 106 to 8.58 × 106, indicating transitions from laminar to turbulent flow. Friction factors ranged from 7.46 × 106 to 45.85 × 106, with higher values at location A, indicating greater resistance to flow. Hydraulic gradients ranged from 1.09 to 1.83, and hydraulic conductivities were between 1.14 × 10-² cm/s and 1.43 × 10-² cm/s, with the highest observed at location A. The results align with recent research showing that coarser sands exhibit higher hydraulic conductivities and flow rates, whereas finer sands demonstrate greater resistance. The study underscores the importance of monitoring friction factors, flow velocity, flow rate, and Reynolds numbers to manage potential environmental hazards and water seepage through dams.

Abstract

Small-scale renewable energy technologies (RETs), such as improved cook stoves (ICS), solar power, and biogas, are recognized as crucial for mitigating deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions. While various organizations have distributed these RETs throughout Ethiopia for diverse purposes, limited evidence exists on their actual impact and the challenges hindering widespread adoption. This paper reviews existing research and key informant interviews to identify both the contributions and barriers specific to these RETs. The findings demonstrate that promoting selected RETs significantly decreases household biomass consumption, which in turn lowers forest degradation and greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically, using ICS and biogas technologies can reduce annual carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by 0.56 to 5.67 million tons and wood fuel consumption by 0.3 to 3.1 million tons. However, the potential wood fuel savings from currently disseminated biogas plants and ICS offset less than 7.2% of Ethiopia's overall annual biomass energy demand. Several obstacles impede the broader adoption of RETs, including technical, financial, market, institutional, and infrastructural limitations. This study suggests that greater sector integration, robust financial institutions, capacity-building centers, active community engagement, and the development of renewable energy sources are essential for wider dissemination of RETs.

Abstract

The rapid advancements in technology have significantly influenced the way individuals interact and meet their needs, pushing for the digital transformation of government operations, particularly in archiving. Despite the introduction of electronic archiving systems in government institutions, physical archiving still prevails, leading to inefficiencies. This study utilizes a normative juridical method, focusing on secondary data analysis from library research. It examines the legal frameworks surrounding electronic-based archiving in Indonesia’s public sector and evaluates its role in the government's digital transformation. The research identifies that while electronic archiving is increasingly recognized as an essential tool for government efficiency, its implementation remains optional rather than mandatory. The legal certainty surrounding digital archiving is still underdeveloped, particularly in areas related to the legality of digital documents and the transition from manual to digital processes. This paper suggests that the current regulations need to be revised, specifically those concerning financial accountability and governance, to better support the transition to a paperless system. The findings emphasize that enhancing legal clarity and updating the regulatory framework are key to fostering the adoption of electronic archiving systems, thus accelerating the government's move toward a fully digital administration.

Abstract

This study explored the concept of hydrostatic pressure and its relationship with various heights of water using the PhET simulation platform. This research aims to determine the value acceleration due to gravity using the hydrostatic pressure simulation of PhET. The experiment's independent variable is the water column at various heights and the dependent variable is the pressure. The method used in this study is pure experimental wherein controlled variables like atmospheric pressure were kept constant. By systematically varying the water height above the ground, the experiment examined how pressure changes respond to these variations. A straight line of best fit was formed when pressure and height were plotted, which is consistent with the theory. This result indicated that as the height of the water column increases, the pressure increases proportionally, demonstrating the direct influence of gravity and water density on hydrostatic pressure. Also, the acceleration due to gravity was measured to be 9.82 ms-2. Therefore, the following were afforded by PhET simulation in this experiment: reliable data, convenient usage, eliminating the need for sophisticated equipment, and an intuitive interface for exploring physical phenomena. This study recommends PhET for teaching and learning processes. It engages the students and provides experiential learning to teachers and students.

Abstract

Health education and sexual and reproductive health education are among the priority action plans of most countries, which have adopted policies focused on human rights. These countries aim to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, to ensure access to health for all and to prepare future citizens for employment. The objective of this literature review is to assess the place of HE and SRH in educational curricula, from primary to higher education, to explore the strengths and weaknesses of the adopted didactic approaches and tools. This is a bibliographic study conducted using three scientific databases, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct, with the combination of keywords health education or reproductive health education, and curriculum or program or training or institute or health institute or nursing institute and approach and didactic. We obtained eleven articles. The target populations were students in primary and higher education (medical faculties and nursing institutes) and the teaching staff of primary and higher education institutions. The approaches identified in these studies were: traditional, biomedical, digital, interprofessional, and global or comprehensive approaches. A global consensus is required on how these competencies should be addressed, given the role they play in promoting the quality of life of individuals and ensuring a healthy environment, governed by a high level of health literacy.

Abstract

This research focused on determining the physical and mechanical properties of Senegalia caffra collected from a Gilgile Beles site in Ethiopia and analyzing how these properties relate to the wood's performance. Fifteen (15) sample trees were selected and felled for the study. Sampling, specimen preparation, and conducting the different tests were achieved following ISO and British standards. In this study, the mean basic density of 594.40 Kg/m3, modulus of elasticity (MoE) of 9,556.79 N/mm2, modulus of rupture (MoR) of 105.69 N/mm2, compression strength parallel to the grain of 53.15 N/mm, impact bending strength of 14,825.00 Nm/m2, radial and tangential hardnesses of 4,958.67 N and 5,324.78 N, respectively, were obtained for the species. Senegalia caffra was superior to the high timber-value tree species of Ethiopia in most of the studied features. The bottom of the tree was highest in density, MoE, MoR, radial, and tangential hardnesses; whereas, the middle height was higher in compression and impact bending strengths. Heartwood was higher in density, MoE, compression strength, and radial and tangential hardnesses than sapwood. Density was moderately correlated with radial hardness (with an R of 0.605 and sig. of 0.000). Generally, higher properties were recorded at the bottom of the tree as well as in the heartwood.

Abstract

The policy proposal of Extended Producer Responsibility in Egypt’s automotive and transportation industry is discussed in this research as a viable solution for major waste management issues. From the best practices observed on the international level and having regard to the country-specific socio-economic environment of Egypt, the study suggests comprehensive and step-by-step anatomy that might be best adapted to adoption in the given country context. Simulations for hypothetical modeling on some of the main automobile components including tires and batteries, indicated that recycling rates could rise from an initial 10% to over 50% after 10 years under EPR. The framework also points to the creation of approximately 15,000 new jobs and the achievement of 20% cost savings on municipal waste management. One of the most important elements is the capacity to support the participation of informal waste pickers in the formal system, providing them with the training and motivation, that will secure an environmentally sound approach, as well as social inclusion. This work therefore provides a clear guideline for policymakers and stakeholders to SMADE to implement an effective, reflective, and fair manner of waste management which complements Egypt’s Vision 2025 and other Universal sustainable developments.

Abstract

Heavy metal accumulation and transfer from sediments to edible mud crab organs (Scylla serrata) pose major ecological and health risks to consumers. The bioaccumulation of these metals are detrimental if they are extremely toxic. The objectives of this study were to analyze heavy metal concentrations in sediments and crab organs and determine the transfer of heavy metals in Scylla serrata from sediments in Mida Creek, Kilifi. The crab samples were collected by simple random sampling whereas sediment samples were collected by purposive sampling. The transfer factor of heavy metals from sediments to the organs of edible mud crabs (Scylla serrata) was evaluated in both the wet and dry seasons. The measurements and examinations of heavy metals, samples of crab organs, and sediments were obtained from three sampled sites. The concentration of metals in the samples was determined using an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer. The results showed that the majority of the components are accumulated by the crabs from sediments. The order in which the metal transfer factor to crabs from station 1 sediments increased was Fe > Zn > Ni > Cu > Cd > Hg. In station 2, the transfer factor increased in the following order: Fe > Zn> Cu>Ni>Cd> Hg, while in station 3, it increased in the following order: Fe > Ni> Zn>Hg>Cd>Cu. The study concluded that mud crabs in Mida Creek actively absorb most of the elements from the sediments.  The study recommends a routine monitoring of heavy-metal levels in other crustacean marine biota, and fish is necessary.

Abstract

Saffron Crocus sativus L. (family Iridaceae) is produced in autumn also, is an expensive spice development in Mediterranean climates It takes between 110,000 and 200,000 flowers to harvest one kilogram of stigmas. Stigmas of Croci Sativa (Croci stigmas) is a pharmaceutical primary source, the important factors that impact the quality are soil and climate more than the quality of saffron is determined by secondary metabolites, including as a culinary addition due to their rich perfume, vivid color, and bitter flavor. However, it is more susceptible to forgery for commercial gain, causing danger to public health. The more crucial criterion for identifying crocin concentration is the property of saffron. A new source of antioxidants is the usual medication for depression. Crocus sativus, the central nervous system, depression, dopamine, the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems, picrocrocin, phytotherapy, neurotransmitters, safranal, saffron, serotonin, and physiologically active chemicals are all associated with antidepressant action. It has also been consumed in conventional medicine to handle a range of illnesses, including inflammatory and neurological problems. Saffron includes critical minerals and vitamins. Saffron's anti-aging and anti-oxidant properties make it popular in numerous regions around the globe. Furthermore, the capacity of crocetin, saffron, and crocin to lower the deleterious drug modulator effects of chemotherapeutic components was revealed. Properties saffron and its extract were found to be low- or non-toxic. The aim of this study for show a more therapeutic effect also how to use it to treat disease and produce saffron for medicine.
