Standards of Islamic Rooting for the Concepts of Education

The study aimed to identify a set of Islamic standards for the educational concepts that should be taken into account when addressing the process of Islamic rooting. The researcher used the analytical descriptive method, and the results of the study showed the absence of Interdisciplinary studies, which may contribute more to correcting the methodology of Islamic rooting for educational sciences, among specialists in the origins of education and other disciplines in the educational fields or otherwise. Thus, the study presented a set of Islamic Rooting standards for the educational concepts which are: reliance on sources of Islamic education, adherence to the rules of derivation and reasoning in Islamic methodology, ability to critique and deal with the heritage tales and understanding and knowledge of Arabic language methods and their multiple uses. The distinction between the sources of knowledge in Islam and other nations, starting from the Islamic perception of the universe, man and life, extensive knowledge in the field of education and work within the field. Results also indicate the presentation of educational concepts clearly after rooting them, verification of rooting objectives of educational concepts, emergence of features of the methodology of Islamic roots when dealing with educational concepts, averageness in dealing with educational concepts coming from other educational cultures, taking into consideration the aspects of the legal dispute and its reflection on educational applications. The study concluded with a set of recommendations in the light of its finding

Production of renewable diesel from Jatropha curcas oil via pyrolytic-deoxygenation over various multi-wall carbon nanotube-based catalysts

Jatropha curcas is a highly toxic plant that produces seed containing viscous oil with productivity (2 ton/ha), it grows in tropical and sub-tropical regions and offer greater adaptability to a wide range of climatic and soil conditions. Its oils have been noted as an important alternative to produce green diesel via deoxygenation reaction. This study, deoxygenation of jatropha curcas oil (JCO) was carried out over NiO–Fe2O3 and NiO–ZnO catalysts that supported onto multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT). It had found that high Fe and Zn dosages were ineffective in deoxygenation and greatest activity was observed on NiO(20) Fe2O3(5)/MWCNT catalyst. Structure-activity correlations revealed that low metal loading, large density of weak + medium acidic sites and strong basic sites play key role in enhancing the catalytic activities and n-(C15+C17) selectivity. Comparing carbon nanostructures and carbon micron size supported NiO-Fe2O3 revealed that green diesel obtained from NiO–Fe2O3/MWCNT catalysed deoxygenation had the highest heating value and the lowest amounts of oxygen content. Thereby, it confirmed the importance of carbon nanostructure as the catalyst support in improving the diesel quality. Considering the high reusability of NiO-Fe2O3/MWCNT (6 consecutive runs) and superior green diesel properties (flash point, cloud properties and cetane index) demonstrated the NiO–Fe2O3/MWCNT catalyst offers great option in producing excellent properties of green diesel for energy sector

The detection of glycidyl ester in edible palm-based cooking oil using FTIR-chemometrics and 1H NMR analysis

Glycidyl ester (GE) is a process contaminant formed during the palm oil refining process. In this study, 156 spectra of palm-based cooking oilwere recorded by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and resulting data were processed using chemometrics approach. The relationship between spectrum data and measured data of GE content was established using Cubist, Random Forest (RF), average neural network (avNNET), and artificial neural network (nnet) model. Then, a consensus regression model was established using a fusion of those four models. GE contents measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) were between 1.338 and 18.362 mg/kg with mean value of 6.880 ± 3.767 mg/kg and median value of 6.480 mg/kg. In this study, FTIR spectrum served as data input and calibrated using measurements from GC-MS. NMR was then applied to verify the present and structural information of GE. Prediction results of GE using the consensus model showed -high coefficient of determination (R2) value of 0.79. The contribution (in percentage) of each member model from highest to the lowest was in order Cubist > RF > avNNET > nnet. Further confirmation of the presence of GE in samples were performed using 1H NMR spectroscopy. Comprehensive analyses based on FTIR chemometrics and 1H NMR spectroscopy successfully determined GE in palm-based cooking oil

A promoter effect on hydrodeoxygenation reactions of oleic acid by zeolite beta catalysts

In this study, various metal-modified zeolite beta-based catalysts such as La(10)zeo(90), Co(10)zeo(90), Fe(10)zeo(90), Mg(10)zeo(90), Mn(10)zeo(90) and Zn(10)zeo(90) were investigated in the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of oleic acid (OA) to produce renewable diesel. The La(10)zeo(90) catalyst showed a conversion of OA up to 99 % with 83 % C15 and C17 selectivity after the reaction at 350 ◦C for 2 h under 4 MPa H2 pressure. The superior activity of La(10)zeo(90) was attributed to the synergistic interaction between La-Si-Al, a sufficient amount of weak+ medium acid sites and excellent textural properties (large pore diameter). Larger pore diameter of La(10)zeo(90) is highly desirable as it will generate greater diffusion of bulky molecules, thereby improving the accessibility of the reactant and hence excellent catalytic activity. The vacuum distillation was used to purify the crude liquid product (CLP), producing high-quality diesel fractions mainly comprising C14, C15, and C17 fractions

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

Case study of a patient with hemorrhagic stroke in cerebellum

Physiotherapeutic case study of hemorrhagic stroke in the cerebellum with hemiplegia patient as bachelor thesis is provided for you to show the full kiensiological assessment, special therapy approaches and therapy effect during 9 sessions. The farther goal of this thesis is to explain the clinical picture, physiological, biomechanics points of view. During my clinical practice, we used the main structure for the Kinesiological assessment according to the Prague School approaches. Manual muscle testing according to Kendall and Janda were used also. Due to the instructions and the protocols from the UVN hospital in Prague the main therapy concept was following " Grasies Concept" for stroke patients. Finally, we applied final kinesiological assessment to compare the patient situation before and after the therapy with focusing on the "Grasies Concept" effect. As a result of our work we found that the "Gracies concept" shows a great result in spastic pattern prevention more on the lower extremity. However, significant improvement in patient stability and verticalization ability which influence the improvement in ADL scale results. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org
