University of Manchester, United Kingdom

Abstract

Ammonia production is fundamental in industrial chemistry and agriculture, although it consumes a vast amount of energy and in turn carbon. As the US moves a little closer to its ambitious climate targets, blue ammonia borne out of Carbon Capture and Storage technology comes through as a practical middle ground from an economic standpoint while aligning with environmental objectives. This article discusses present-day developments, economic feasibility, and policy regimes of blue ammonia, knowledge of which can aid sectors that are difficult to decarbonize. The results suggest the avenue that blue ammonia can be a viable route to fill the gap between conventional ammonia manufacturing and a completely renewables-based route.

Abstract

Evaluation of learning and teaching, an integral component of quality monitoring of higher education, is universally valued by universities in both China and America, although it is still under heavy criticisms from many sides. Universities that conduct the evaluations all approach the activity with great caution and seriousness, and the implementation processes are largely similar. Nevertheless, a careful study reveals that while the key indicators of student evaluation questionnaires in China and America are essentially the same, they still exhibit unique characteristics, and the differences are noteworthy. This paper, after briefly describing the indicator similarities between Chinese and American questionnaires, delves into the differences in the questionnaires and the cultural factors underlying them, exploring the close relationships between the questionnaire designers, teachers and students in terms of different understandings of educational activities, characteristics of thinking modes and teacher-student relationships in China and America. Based on the deep understanding of the cultural causes behind the differences in the content of evaluation questionnaires, the paper is supposed to contribute to the design of student evaluation questionnaires with Chinese characteristics, and more workable and observable points for students to handle, for the purpose of better serving the continuous improvement and enhancement of quality of higher education and full development of students in our country.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Color of Leadership: Race and Power Dynamics Examined Through Lived Experiences of Black Executive Academic Leaders
Published at American Journal of Higher Education (AJHE)

Stanford University, USA
Abstract

Black executive academic leaders are significantly underrepresented at prestigious, predominantly white institutions in the United States. Such institutions perpetuate white normativity in two ways: (1) numerical representation, and (2) the expectation that sets whiteness as the standard. Black executive academic leaders’ leadership abilities are perceived through white norms, and Black executive academic leaders navigate hierarchical leadership that favors whiteness. This qualitative study examines how stereotypes about Black people and racial bias associated with perceptions of Black executive academic leaders has impact their lived experiences. Interviews were conducted with eight Black executive academic leaders, as they described their lived experiences. The findings demonstrate that although Black executive academic leaders hold high-profile positions and have diverse backgrounds, white normativity impacted their lived experiences. This study reveals changes in white normative structures in higher education are necessary to challenge the dominance of white normativity in numerical representation and expectations.

Abstract

In higher education institutions, the management type shows micro-management, withholding information, thinking leadership positions, and dividing to control employees. Micro-management leaders demotivate employees and cause tension with team members, significantly reducing overall performance. This article discusses the pitfalls of management behaviors, such as "control freaks or micromanagement," which lead to high turnover, low team morale, job dissatisfaction, and mental health issues for other team members. A toxic workplace, characterized by negative leadership behaviors and harmful dynamics, can lead to low productivity and low employee well-being. Such situations are not uncommon to be characterized by secrecy, partiality, extreme control, and a lack of transparency. For instance, a survey by the Workplace Bullying Institute (WBI) found that nearly 19% of workers have experienced some form of bullying, including verbal abuse, work sabotage, and intimidation (Namie & Namie, 2018). These actions can lead to high turnover rates, low morale, and decreased engagement. Addressing these micromanagement behaviors is crucial to promoting a healthy work environment.

Abstract 

This article presents a quantitative analysis of the Purpose-Based Learning Model (PBLM) in second language acquisition (SLA) classrooms, offering a methodological proposal and evaluating its effectiveness through empirical data. The PBLM is grounded in the principle that language acquisition is enhanced when learners engage in tasks that are purposeful and reflective of real-world language use. This study explores the impact of PBLM on students' language proficiency, motivation, and engagement, employing a rigorous quantitative approach to assess its efficacy.

The methodological proposal detailed in the article outlines a structured framework for integrating PBLM into SLA instruction. Key components include task-based activities designed to simulate real-life language use, criteria for assessing task performance, and strategies for aligning classroom activities with learners' personal and professional goals. The framework emphasizes creating authentic tasks that require active language use and meaningful interaction.

To evaluate the effectiveness of PBLM, the study employed a mixed-methods approach with a focus on quantitative data. A sample of 200 language learners from multiple SLA classrooms was divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group engaged in PBLM-based instruction, while the control group followed traditional language teaching methods. Data collection involved pre- and post-intervention assessments, including standardized language proficiency tests, surveys measuring student motivation and engagement, and task performance evaluations.

The results reveal significant improvements in the experimental group compared to the control group. Language proficiency scores, as measured by standardized tests. The article further analyzes the data to identify factors contributing to the effectiveness of PBLM. Correlation analyses indicate a strong relationship between task authenticity and improved language outcomes, suggesting that the real-world relevance of tasks is a key driver of student success. Regression analyses highlight that increased motivation and engagement mediate the relationship between PBLM implementation and language proficiency gains. Challenges identified in the implementation of PBLM include the need for extensive teacher training and the requirement for additional resources to create authentic tasks. The article proposes solutions such as targeted professional development and the use of digital tools to facilitate task design and assessment.

In conclusion, the quantitative findings support the hypothesis that the Purpose-Based Learning Model significantly enhances language proficiency, motivation, and engagement in SLA classrooms. The article advocates for broader adoption of PBLM, supported by empirical evidence demonstrating its effectiveness. The proposed methodological framework offers a practical guide for educators seeking to implement PBLM, and the study's results contribute to the ongoing discourse on optimizing second language teaching methodologies.

Abstract 

Due to the allocation of health resources and services, it is commonly believed that community-based protection and prevention is very effective to cut off Covid-19 transmission at the beginning stage. Recent years, the COVID-19 abrupt outbreak has become a major concern with substantial effects on markets, and the world economy. The impact of COVID-19 is assessed to be even more than all the previous global pandemic. In this short-term, due to the impacts of this pandemic, startups are more prone to fail or succeed faster than ever before; however, the challenges they face are not yet clearly scrutinized, as the pandemic was faster than scholars. This study therefore investigates the main challenges of Iranian startups by interviewing the co-founders of fifteen well-known startups. The two-step coding was used to analyze findings and these findings were explained in a focus group session to which startup co-founders, policymakers, and scholars were invited. It was concluded, six principal types of challenges are major concern by this pandemic, including, human resources management, support measures financial and marketing, mechanisms, crisis management, and few others. The research will have great impact and influence on alleviating the current emergent situation.  *

Increasing Optimal Efficiency of Crop Production under the Negative Influence of Global Greenhouse Effect **

Abstract

The Green Revolution in 1960s enabled a sharp increase of the production of major staple grain crops (wheat, corn, rice, etc) to solve the ever-increasing demands of an increasing global population growing with geometric numbers. This article focused on how to increase the optimal efficiency of crop production under the impact of global greenhouse effect. We understand that the climate change effects have advanced in the past decade, there are still gaps in knowledge regarding the potential impacts of climate change on agriculture. These gaps are especially wide when it comes to specialized cultivation systems such as those of fruit and vegetable, which globally provide a high contribution to the human diet. To fill these gaps, we need a multifaceted approach that integrates physiology and genomics tools and might thus provide comprehensive answers, aiming at future needs. The increase in atmospheric CO2 is one of the main drivers of the climate changes and the increase of the global temperature. The CO2 molecule is also an essential nutrient for plants and increases in its concentration in the atmosphere have the potential to improve plant productivity (Leisner, 2020). However, optimizing the repose of plants to the increase in CO2 is a challenge due to its  complex interaction with the regulation of stomata, transpiration and the efficiency of water use, issues discussed in detail in open stomata  agriculture by Fara et al. 2019. The cultivation of crops with high productive potential and with greater resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses is seen as one of the methods with the greatest potential for obtaining higher yields, reducing the use of pesticides and without increasing the cultivated areas. Advances in genomics revolutionized and accelerated plant breeding. This will continue as costs decrease and more advanced methods are developed and applied. This was discussed by Gomes et al. 2020, in the characterization of a germplasm bank of Cucurbita moschata D. where they described the genetic relationships of agro-morphological characteristics, with the purpose of identifying early flowering genotypes, genotypes with high total levels of carotenoids in the fruit pulp and those with high potential for seed productivity and seed oil. There is an urgent need to support resilient and sustainable agriculture and the path is implementing cultivation practices and identifying new genes for agriculture. These genes should be directed to the optimization of production, mainly for the development of characteristics such as greater efficiency in the use of water, aspect fundamental in the current scenario, aiming at greater productive efficiency, less energy input and less risks to the environment.  *

Abstract

Flaxseed was cultivated in Babylon in around many centuries ago and many people consider it as one of the most powerful plant foods on the planet (Magee, 2020). When Traced back to history, we can also realize that flaxseed can be used to treat diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke and all kinds of cancer. The application of flaxseed was highlighted by scientists and medical workers for many centuries. However, the valuable effects of flaxseed was always underestimated to a large degree, and even people who are working in the specific field can not cognitively associate the benefits of flaxseed with the treatment of certain disease. Thus, the waste of flaxseed was unnoticed when it comes over-consumption and non-effective consumption. This article will enumerate both the positive side and the negative side of flaxseed which will benefits sustainable development as an organic food source. After a systematic comparison and analysis, the conclusion was drawn naturally with statistic analysis and logic induction as scientific collaboration. *

Abstract

According to recent research done by Zibima, S. B., Wasini, K. B., & Oniso, J. I. (2020), obesity is dramatically increasing year by year and it was consider one of the most severe life-threatening fatal diseases globally by the end of 2020. The fact is that obesity itself may not be dangerous, but the complications related to obesity can be deadly or fatal in a great extent. Though many researchers have had extensive research in this field, only a few compared the scientific data from unban area with which from the suburban area. The goal of this research is first, to employ scientific data, research, and analysis with the goal of raising public awareness for people who are within the high-risk group and try to rescue them by informing them of the basic knowledge of obesity’s origin, prevention, danger, threatening, and treatment. Second, the realistic purpose for this research is comparing obesity in urban and rural area based on demographic factors and how obesity negatively influence people’s life quality and educational level. A questionnaire was obtained from 200 attendees and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for the scientific analysis of the data. The research results confirmed the doubts and anxiety of the severely negative influence of obesity on educational achievements, human life quality, life expectancy at present and in the future. *

Abstract

Recent years, the research on Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are countless yet no previous research focused on MOF on the basis that they are a class of hybrid network of supramolecular solid materials composed of organized organic linkers and metal cations. This research paper displayed enormously high surface areas with tunable pore size and fitful functionality, and it can be applied to the hosts for a range of guest molecules. After the thorough discovery research, MOFs have experienced widespread exploration for their applications in gas storage, drug delivery and sensing. An ultimate goal of the current research is to better understand the two-sided effects of MOF membranes and the research result showed significant positive proofs. The preliminary conclusion is that MOFs can be regarded as a reusable merging of solid acids and organic polymers in the area of construction and industrial foundation. This article synthesized the functionality of MOFs with unique perspective and the research implications are of great importance in further discovering and advancing the practical development of chemical science. *

Abstract

The current research is understanding our mind: how philosophy enables us to perceive the world and master human mind. As we all know, designing a study about the thinking pattern to investigate how minds work while thinking is the mind in conversation with itself. The central model stated that the mind is the core mode of self-interrogation in psychotherapy and psychology built on philosophical precepts. Both Socratic dialogue and stoicism are evident in the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT). CBT and especially REBT instruct people to examine and dispute their beliefs and thus to tolerate unpleasant feelings—shades of Epictetus. The connection is bidirectional: The most perplexed evidence showed that people's psychological positions on philosophical questions in the center of the free-will existence are significantly influenced by their individual temperament and personality rather than cognitive ability. Future research will explore related philosophical questions which remain for human beings to further discover. *

 
 
 
 
 
From Western Culture to Eastern Culture: A Dialogic Perspective on the Holistic Overview of Chinese Culture and American Culture **

Abstract

Due to globalization, the clear-cut contrast between Chinese culture and American culture was blurred through constant cultural dialogue and interaction. Culture is complex and multidimensional. It is in fact too complex to define a certain culture in simple terms and rough definition. Kroeber and Kluckhohn in 1952 identified over 160 different definitions of culture. One of the earliest widely cited definitions by Tylor in 1887 defines culture as “that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by human as a member of society.” With a dialogic perspective, this article investigated the differences and common features between western culture and eastern culture by observing the holistic overview of specific culture in China and in America. The research result confirms our hypothesis. The research also suggested that people in modern era should view distinct culture with more tolerance, appreciation and respect. New culture should be redefined with respect to historical facts, linguistic uniqueness and differences in customs.  *

Abstract

Recent years, research on MOF application showed positive tendency in MOF effects on gas storage. However, current researchers conducted a serious investigation and found the previous research had obvious flaws in over-generalization. Several options are available for storing gases effectively, but these mostly require high-pressure tanks and multistage compressors. Such methods are highly expensive for practical uses and there is a need for them to be substituted by simple and less expensive solutions. In an attempt to overcome these issues and to find safer storage methods, several materials, like zeolites or activated porous carbons, have been studied for gas storage. However, MOFs have outperformed most of these traditional materials in terms of gas storage, separation and industrial application. Easy synthetic procedures, high surface area, wide opportunities for functionalization and tunable pore structures make MOFs preferable compared with other porous materials. This article reviews studies of storage applications for important gases like H2, CO2, CH4, CO, NO, hydrocarbons etc. within MOFs, with a brief description of the factors responsible for effective storage. The current researcher hopes that this research result could be reevaluated and reinstated in order to avoid practical losses. *
