Physical and mechanical properties of green cementless mortar incorporating waste paper sludge ash
Get PDFAs an alternative to conventional construction material such as normal concrete, waste paper sludge ash (WPSA) based geopolymer is seen as a promising and viable option in construction material selection due to its high amount of aluminum (Al) and silicon (Si) content. This research aims to determine the microstructure and mechanical characteristics of WPSA in geopolymers. The alkaline solution that contains 6 M of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) was used to activate the geopolymer. The hardened 50 mm-sized mortars were prepared and underwent a heat-cured process for 1 day at various temperatures at 24 ℃, 60 ℃, and 90 ℃, respectively. Then, the mortar cubes were placed in the laboratory until the testing days. A compression test was conducted to identify the strength development of the WPSA-based geopolymer mortar at 7, 14, and 28 days, respectively. Chemical composition was analyzed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Furthermore, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was conducted to ascertain the structural elucidation and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis was done to provide microstructural observations of the geopolymer. Based on the XRF analysis, the WPSA has the highest amount of calcium oxide (CaO) instead of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and silicon dioxide (SiO2), and it reduces the performance of WPSA as a cement replacement material. The ratio of SiO2 and Al2O3 is recorded as 1.1:1. Therefore, it is suitable for bricks and ceramics production instead of concrete production. As for the curing process, the heat-cured method is evident in accelerating strength development in the WPSA-based geopolymer mortar compared to the ambient curing method due to the rapid polymerization process in the geopolymer system. It is proven that 60 ℃ is the optimum temperature for the curing process for geopolymer mortar.

Illegitimacy and orphanhood in Dickens’s Oliver Twist : an Islamic reading
No full textDickens’s novels were inspired by his commitment to social
reform and justice, as they were driven by his quest to find voices to stand up against injustices and to safeguard the rights of the poor and the orphan in Victorian Britain. Such an altruistic artistic strategy of establishing justice for the downtrodden and the welfare of the orphan resonates with Islamic teachings. Given this affinity, in this paper, I shall examine Dickens’s treatment of illegitimacy and orphanhood
in Oliver Twist through the lens of Islam, including the point that Prophet Muhammad himself was an orphan. Such an interpretation of the novel will inform readers about Islam’s take on these social issues which remain highly relevant to our contemporary complex societies
