Experimental And Predictive Modelling Assessment Of Spear Grass Ash As A Partial Cement Replacement In Concrete, Abraham Divine, Festus C. Onyeka, Agori Ebipuakebina John, Obayehagweme Ezekiel

Engineering and Technology Journal

The global construction industry is under increasing pressure to minimize its environmental impact, especially that of cement manufacture, which contributes approximately 5 to 8% of anthropogenic CO₂ emissions. This study investigates Spear Grass Ash (SGA) as a partial replacement for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), focusing on workability, compressive strength, and split tensile strength. OPC was replaced with SGA at 0% to 30% by weight in 5% increments, at a constant water-to-cement ratio of 0.50. The ash was characterised by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and both strengths were tested at 28 and 56 days. XRF confirmed a combined SiO₂, …

Comparative Antibacterial Efficacy Of Hot Vs. Cold Aqueous Saussurea Costus Root Extracts Against Streptococcus Mutans, Fatima Adil Mohammed Hussien, Ahlam Taha Mohammed

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

The present in vitro study assessed the antibacterial efficacy of aqueous root extracts prepared using hot and cold extraction methods of Saussurea costus against Streptococcus mutans isolates. Based on antibacterial screening results, the hot extract, which demonstrated greater antibacterial activity, was selected for subsequent cytotoxicity assessment. Cold and hot aqueous extracts were subjected to phytochemical screening, and phenolic acids and flavonoids were quantitatively assessed using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography. Antibacterial efficacy was evaluated using a resazurin-based microdilution technique to assess the minimum inhibitory concentration, followed by subculture to determine the minimum bactericidal concentration, and an agar well diffusion assay. Cytotoxicity of …

Liberal-Progressive Education Discourse: The Dynamics Of Practice And Agency In Contemporary Thai Education, Omsin Jatuporn

Journal of Education Studies

Critical education research in Thailand has accumulated substantial knowledge about ideological reproduction mechanisms, yet a theoretical gap remains in explaining the dynamics of teacher and student agency and everyday negotiation. This article pursues two objectives: first, to critically examine liberal-progressive education discourse and structuralist critical education frameworks shaping Thai education reform, highlighting limitations of approaches that view schooling merely as ideological reproduction and educational culture as rigidly authoritarian; second, to reconstruct new possibilities for critical education in Thailand through alternative theoretical frameworks that recognize teacher and student agency. The discussion points are presented based on four Thai educational studies that …

Bmi-Perception Discordance And School Health Communication Profiles Among Us High School Students: Evidence From The 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, Hoang Thanh Thu, Nguyen Khac Toan

Journal of Health Research

Background: Body mass index (BMI) screening is commonly used in schools to identify students at risk of overweight or obesity, but BMI alone may not adequately guide counselling when students’ perceived weight differs from BMI-based status.

Method: This cross-sectional secondary analysis used 2023 US Youth Risk Behavior Survey data from 17,814 students in grades 9–12. Survey-weighted estimates and logistic regression examined overweight or obesity, underestimation among students with overweight or obesity, and excessive concern among students without overweight or obesity.

Results: Overall, 30.63% of students had overweight or obesity. Among students reporting perceived weight, 53.04% were concordant, …

HBRC Journal

Soft clay layers in the Northern Nile Delta pose significant geotechnical challenges due to low shear strength, high compressibility, and susceptibility to settlement. This study implements a section of a canal embankment in the field using Deep Soil Mixing (DSM) with a cement content of 165 kg/m³ and aims to evaluate its effectiveness in stabilizing soft clay while providing practical design tools for similar deltaic environments. Long-term field monitoring and laboratory testing, including UCS and permeability measurements, were conducted to support the analysis. A Finite Element Model (FEM) was developed in PLAXIS 2D v21 and calibrated against field data, …

Click To Sue: Defining Receipt Of Eeoc Notices In The Digital Age, Robert J. Toth Jr.

St. Mary's Law Journal

Federal employment discrimination statutes condition a claimant’s right to sue on timely receipt of a “right-to-sue” notice from the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).  Courts have historically treated certified mail slips as sufficient to trigger a claimant’s ninety-day filing window, regardless of when the claimant opened or retrieved the letter.  In the digital era, the EEOC increasingly issues notices through email and its online Public Portal, raising questions about when electronic notice constitutes “receipt.”

This Article examines recent federal appellate court decisions—Lax v. Mayorkas, McDonald v. St. Louis University, and García-Gesualdo v. Honeywell Aerospace of Puerto Rico, …
