Abstract

Biochar is regarded as a promising soil amendment that maximizes soil productivity to boost food security. Limited data is available on the influence of biochar on sulfate desorption behavior in soil. To fill the knowledge gap, this research attempts to investigate sulfate sorption and desorption kinetics with soil parent materials mixed with biochar. Understanding the effects is of great importance in selecting a fit diagnosis and fertilization of S to ensure sustainable crop production and environmental protection. Maize stalk biochar was prepared and used for the study. The variation between soil desorption data (with and without biochar) was examined using a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with fully randomized designs (CRD). The results obtained showed that the studied Biochar (BC) had no significant (P = 0.05) impact on the release of adsorbing S, independent of time and soil constituents. The findings led to the conclusion that the rate of desorption of adsorbed sulfate desorption by the studied soil parent material is not primarily controlled by biochar. Therefore, it is recommended to test the compatibility of BC to release the adsorbed sulfur, before applying it as an amendment to the soil. Linking the practice of on-farm sulfur management to OM management is also recommended.

Abstract

In Bangladesh, the scenario of sexual harassment is a great problem in the academic sector as well as the prevalence is equally the same. Female students are the prominent victims of sexual harassment incidents in the educational environment. The main objectives of the study were to evaluate the nature of sexual harassment in academia as well as the impacts on female students and the consequences of the problem. The study was conducted in a qualitative research method and collected primary data with the help of a checklist of the undergraduate students of the Social Science School of Khulna University. Eight respondents and two key informants were selected purposively for the study that fulfilled the criteria of the unit of analysis. The findings of the study disclosed that females are frequent victims of gender-based sexual harassment in the academic sector. Female students constantly face verbal and non-verbal sexual harassment as well as the majority of the respondents don’t disclose or report the incidents to the authority because they cannot rely on perpetrators who will not get proper punishment for their crimes. For this, the victims suffer from various impacts on their mental and physical well-being. As a result, female students replace their career focus, skipping their educational journey and constantly feeling insecure. This research also revealed that society and culture greatly impact sexual harassment occurrences by men. The overall study found the negative impacts of sexual harassment, its consequences along with possible solutions.

Abstract

Entrepreneurship can greatly contribute to economic growth and graduate employment. Many university graduates may find that becoming an entrepreneur is the solution to their recruitment issues. This exploratory cross-sectional quantitative study at the Tshwane University of Technology and Walter Sisulu University aims to learn about entrepreneurship education students' perceptions of the impact of the curriculum on their capacity to interact with the business sector. A total of 484 students (279 TUT and 205 WSU) volunteered to participate. The results indicated that students at both universities valued the universities' intervention through the entrepreneurial education program. It was also discovered that entrepreneurship education continues to play a significant part in the lives of all motivated business students. The delivery of entrepreneurship education should be enhanced to ensure that the students benefit and have the propensity to start their businesses. In so doing, less unemployment of graduates would be experienced. Further studies should be conducted in a broader scope by embarking on other universities beyond the current ones surveyed to enable the findings to be generalized.

Abstract

The appropriate rationing of NPK is a core problem in biofertilizer production.  In this study, a 30-liter bench-scale anaerobic biodigester for biofertilizer production from solid waste was fabricated using galvanized steel sheet. About 4kg of chicken dung, 7.5 kg of wastewater treatment sludge, and 0.5 kg of banana peel are mixed, a total of 12kg, the substrate is then mixed with water in a ratio of 1:1. (w/w) 24 kg of the slurry is fed into the biodigester. The slurry is allowed to stay for 37 days at mesophilic temperature. The pH of the digestion is between 6-7, and the temperature is within the range of 25-34oC. The amount of total solid, moisture content, ash, and volatile matter of the feedstock after digestion decreases by about 31%,47%,67%, and 69%. Moreover, an increase in the amount of nitrogen content from 0.3783% to 0.6420%, phosphorous from 0.1903% to 0.2983%, and potassium from 0.1876% to 0.3153% was also observed. After digestion the biofertilizer produced has an appropriate ratio of 2:1:1. For the kinetic study, the specific growth was found to be 0.0098hr-1. Also, experimental data for microbial growth obtained from the study fitted the Monod model.

Abstract

Although digitalization has been experienced in many business operations, we are still lacking complete knowledge of the impacts of the application of these technological operations in Human Resource Management (HRM) at both an individual level and organizational level. This paper, therefore, seeks to clarify the importance of digitalization to organizations and the challenges facing HRM due to the lack of digitalization. This paper is a study carried out in a South African public enterprise to identify the organizational effects of lack of digitalization in the Human Resource Management department. Qualitative research was applied and interviews were used to gather data from Human Resource professionals and section managers in a public corporation. Twenty-four individuals were purposively chosen for data collection. The research discovered effects such as lack of digital training, the occurrence of errors, service delays, and the possibility of employee burnout due to manual systems used to serve a large organization. The discussion provided in this study would strengthen the body of knowledge on the importance of digitalization in public enterprises, especially public organizations that have a role to protect national security.

Abstract

The novel Covid-19 pandemic has affected people from all walks of life. While much research has been carried out to perceive the psychological effects on diverse aspects of society, the informal labor sector did not receive any recognition. In this research, rickshaw pullers in Bangladesh, an informal labor sector, who were severely affected by the novel pandemic were scientifically studied through a qualitative analysis followed by a purposive sampling methodology. This article features an in-depth interview conducted by 12 respondents about their experience during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The study revealed that the pandemic has increased the level of mental depression, anxiety, and loss of livelihood among rickshaw pullers. Access to livelihoods was impacted adversely in most scenarios as found evident by our analysis. We explored their understanding of this phenomenon and examined the effects on their livelihoods and mental well-being made by the Covid-19 pandemic. More studies should be conducted to perceive the psychological and societal impacts of informal labor in Bangladesh regarding this global pandemic aftermath.

Abstract

Analgesic medicines are the most regularly prescribed pharmaceuticals globally. The goal of this project is to learn about and improve analgesic use practices through an education campaign. Materials and Procedures: This cross-sectional, online survey was conducted for 340 respondents in Derna City Libya region between 15 April 2022 and two November 2022. Result: Males were 49 (14.4%) and females were 291 (85.6%), the Mean & S.D (1.86, 0.352), ages 10 - 65 years old, the Mean & S.D (1.86, 0.352), (3.92, 2.082). The greatest percentage of excellent at the economic level is 153 (45.0%). The lowest score for superb is 6 (1.8%), followed by 45% for a decent scenario, 35% for a not-so-poor situation, and 7.1% for a horrible one. The percentage of university graduates is 203 (59.7%), whereas the percentage of illiterate people is 3 (0.9%). The P-Value of understanding the adverse effects of using analgesics regularly (0.000 0.05), the correlation is significant for there is a link between knowledge and educational level, the relationship between knowledge and educational level demonstrates that a p-value greater than 0.05 indicates that there is no relationship between knowledge and educational level. Conclusion: No matter how high a person's education level is, it does not substitute for understanding the usage of analgesic drugs and there's no correlation between a scientific degree and citizens' understanding of the hazards of utilizing analgesic drugs without a prescription.

Abstract

The traditional (classical) Transportation Problem (TP) can be viewed as a specific case of the Linear Programming (LP) problem, as well as its models are used to find the best solution for the problem of predetermined how many units of a good or service need to be shipped from one source to multiple locations, with the goals being to reduce time or expense. Classical TP has one objective but when there are two or more objectives to be optimized for in a TP, the strategies used to optimize a single objective are inapplicable. The term “Multi-Objective Transportation Problem (MOTP)” refers to situations in which there are two or more objectives in a TP. The specific extension of the transportation problem is the MOTP. This work provided a novel alternative algorithm that uses geometric means along with the penalty technique to address MOTP. Specifically, analyzed data by comparing our method with numerical examples and presenting the results in a line graph. Our analysis shows that our approach yields better solutions than existing methods, demonstrating the novelty and effectiveness of our approach. The comparison with numerical examples provides a clear and intuitive way of presenting the superiority of our method, making it accessible to practitioners and researchers in the field. These findings have important implications for improving the accuracy and reliability of solutions to the problem at hand. Overall, our study contributes to the advancement of the field by providing a novel and effective method for solving the problem.
