The Effect of Calligraphy on Career Decision-making Self-efficacy and Self-leadership of Nursing Students
Get PDFThis is a single-arm pre-post study conducted to determine the effect of a calligraphy program on nursing students' career decision-making self-efficacy and self- leadership. The data collected from 231 second-year nursing students were analyzed using SPSS WIN 25.0 to determine descriptive statistics, paired t-test to analyze the effect of calligraphy, and Pearson correlation coefficient to determine the relationship between career decision self-efficacy and self-leadership. After the program, both career decision self-efficacy (t=7.23, p<.001) and self-leadership (t=6.81, p<.001) improved, and there were statistically significant differences in each of the sub-items. There was a difference in pre- and post-program self-efficacy based on satisfaction with their major, but the difference between groups was not significant on post-hoc tests. The analysis of career decision self-efficacy and self-leadership before the program showed a strong correlation (r=.811, p<.001) and a strong correlation after the program (r=.849, p<.001). The results of this study are significant in that they validate the effectiveness of a calligraphy program in promoting self-leadership and career decision-making self-efficacy among nursing students who do not have clear career goals. At a time when the importance of cultural arts education is gradually increasing in social and educational fields around the world, calligraphy has the advantage of laying the foundation for the promotion of basic arts for the revitalization of cultural arts, so educational support is needed not only in terms of improving the quality of life and pursuing self-actualization of individuals with emotional expression and creative problem-solving skills, but also at the social level.

Sorptivity Analysis of Lightweight Concrete Based on Fly Ash and Bottom Ash
Get PDFLightweight concrete has a density lower than conventional concrete, which ranges between 1,400-1,800 Kg/cm3. The use of lightweight concrete as a more sustainable construction material continues to be developed to reduce the weight of the building. Fly ash as a residue from coal combustion has a high SiO2 content as a cement substitute. Bottom ash with a light density can also be used as a substitute for fine aggregate. Sorptivity test in lightweight concrete aims to determine concrete's ability to absorb water and how the pores in concrete behave. Sorptivity testing was carried out by a 5x5x5(cm3) mortar sample that was immersed in water. Then the mortar was weighed based on time intervals of 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 60 minutes, then continued for 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 hours and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 days. The results showed that the use of fly ash and bottom ash could increase the sorptivity value in the mortar up to 0.45%, where the function of the fly ash and bottom ash is to fill the pores in the mortar so that the water content that seeps into the mortar is reduced. Thus, the use of fly ash and bottom ash to support ecologically friendly and lighter building results in more sustainable material properties
Optimization of CO2 Capture Efficiency in a Flue Gas Treatment System: Assessing the Impact of Flow Rates, Absorbent Concentrations, Nanoparticles, and Temperature
Get PDFThis study focuses on improving the efficiency of flue gas purification systems for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture. The researchers investigated various factors, including flow rates, absorbent concentrations, nanoparticles, and temperature, to optimize the CO2 capture process. They conducted experiments using a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) hollow fiber membrane contactor to separate CO2 from nitrogen. The presence of titanium dioxide and silica nanoparticles in a potassium carbonate solution facilitated the separation process. The findings indicate that optimizing flow rates and absorbent concentrations can enhance CO2 capture efficiency. The use of nanoparticles in the absorbent solution was found to improve material capture effectiveness. The study also revealed that higher temperatures contribute to increased CO2 capture efficiency. The research aims to advance CO2 capture techniques to mitigate the release of industrial greenhouse gases, particularly in flue gas treatment systems. The researchers determined optimal settings for CO2 capture in these systems, emphasizing the importance of absorbent concentration for stability and absorption, as well as the role of nanoparticles in enhancing reaction kinetics and CO2 collection. The objective of the analysis is to maximize removal efficiency, although specific lower and upper bounds and a target value were not provided. The proposed solution suggests specific values for the independent variables, including temperature, gas flow rate, liquid flow rate, and the concentrations of K2CO3, PZ, SiO2, and TiO2, to optimize CO2 capture
