Case Study Research on the Hybrid Classroom Experience in Higher Education Post-Covid-19 from Students and Faculty Members' Perspectives in One of the UAE Universities
No full textDue to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, an urgent online transmission was required to begin the second semester of 2022. Starting in the third week of the second semester, the university started offering hybrid classes to its students in an effort to make the learning process more efficient for all. The objective of this paper is to present the findings of the current case study research that was conducted on the campus of the university during the second semester of the academic year 2022. The research was based on individual interviews with eight participants, including one member of the academic faculty and seven students from higher education who had experience with hybrid and distance classrooms at the university. For the purpose of gaining insight into the participants' perspectives on the hybrid classroom experience, open-ended interview questions and ratings were collected from each and every participant. The three most significant issues that raise concerns are the interaction with peers, the academic content and the instructor, the presence of passive attendees, and the presence of technical issues during study time
Environmentally Sustainable Green Concrete Blocks and Bricks Utilizing Plastic Waste: An Innovative Solid Waste Management and Cost-Effective Construction Material Practice
No full textThis study examines the affordability and ecological viability of using plastic garbage to produce green concrete blocks and bricks. According to the research conducted, adding plastic trash to certain substances for construction causes significant modifications to their characteristics. In particular, the bricks' compressive strength falls by more than half as the plastic percentage rises from 0% to 15%. Furthermore, more plastic means less water being absorbed, meaning green bricks use less water than regular ones. With no difference between the controlled and 10% plastic samples, the flexural strength decreases at 5% and 15% plastic content. Slump values are lowered due to the rise in plastic trash, which lowers workability. However, the water-absorbing decrease stays within reasonable bounds; therefore, the bricks' ability to withstand weathering is maintained. Last but not least, at 5% plastic content, the compressive strength of green concrete blocks dramatically drops; at 10% and 15%, the decline is relatively small. These results demonstrate the possibility of employing plastic trash in buildings, provided that material property compromises are carefully considered
The Relationship Between Architecture and Music, their Role in Design Across Eras
No full textArchitecture, with its artistic, scientific, and technological aspects, profoundly influences the human environment and interacts in an integrated relationship with various human factors—ranging from material, social, and cultural aspects to geographical and political conditions. Architectural development traditionally emphasizes visual perception over auditory elements, with architects and architecture enthusiasts primarily focusing on visual experiences. However, as architectural understanding has evolved, it has become essential to recognize that spatial perception cannot be achieved solely through visual stimuli. It also requires an appreciation of auditory experiences, particularly the qualities and effects of sound, including music, and its sensory and physical impact on architecture and its users. This research identifies a knowledge gap concerning the relationship between music and architecture, specifically how music influences architectural outcomes. The study aims to explore and analyze the fundamental principles shared by architecture and music throughout history. It further seeks to investigate how these principles can be derived from musical compositions and applied to architectural forms and configurations to enhance the design and quality of both local and global architectural products.  
Effect of Attention-Deficit on Self-Efficacy and Academic Performance in Secondary School Going Children: A Comparative Cross-Sectional Study
Full text linkBackground: Attention deficit poses a significant challenge to students' ability to focus, regulate their behavior, and manage academic tasks effectively. Evidences are present to support the influence of attention deficit on self-efficacy and academic performance among secondary level students. The study aims to identify the relationships between attention deficit, self- efficacy beliefs, and academic outcomes. Objectives: To determine the effect of attention deficit on self-efficacy and academic performance in secondary school going children. Data collection procedure: A sample of 145 students according to inclusion criteria was selected. The mean age of current study population was 15 years, with standard deviation of 0.92. Participants were divided into two groups by ADHD-RS-IV Questionnaire score, i.e., Group 1 without attention deficit with 63 participants in this group and Group 2 with attention deficit with 81 participants in this group. Sample size was calculated using open epi calculator. Non- probability convenient sampling technique was used for recruitment. Attention deficit was assessed using ADHD-RS-IV Questionnaire and Self-efficacy was assessed using SEQ-C Questionnaire. The overall duration of study was 5 months. Welch’s test was used to compare the self-efficacy and academic performance in students with and without attention deficit. Results: The Welch’s test showed highly significant difference (P-Value <0.001) between the two groups. This revealed that the students without attention deficit have higher self-efficacy and academic performance compared to students with attention deficit. Conclusion: The study concluded that there was the difference between self-efficacy and academic performance of students with and without attention deficit. The students who are not attention deficit have high self-efficacy and academic performance and the students who are attention deficit have low self-efficacy and academic performance

Growth And Reproductive Response of Gladioulus to Exogenous Application of Salicylic Acid
No full textSalicylic acid (SA) is a phyto-hormone that acts as a key regulator for signaling defensive chemicals in plants under biotic and abiotic stresses. It also exerts stimulatory effects on various physiological processes related to plant growth and development. The present investigation entitled “Growth and reproductive response of Gladiolus to exogenous application of salicylic acid” was held at Department of Horticulture Research and Development (DHRD), National Agriculture Research Centre (NARC), ISLAMABAD during 2022. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that exogenous application of salicylic acid positively affects growth and flowering of gladiolus. Five levels (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200mg/L) of salicylic acid were sprayed on aerial parts of the plant. The studied traits were number of leaves plant-1, flower diameter, rachis length, days to spike emergence, number of florets spike-1, spike length and spike diameter. Results revealed that exogenous application of various concentrations of salicylic acid had a significant effect on all the recorded parameters. Salicylic acid at the rate of 200 mg L-1 reduced days to spike emergence and increased number of leaves plant-1, florets spike-1, spike length and rachis length. Second highest results regarding flower diameter and spike diameter were observed in gladiolus plants sprayed with 200 mg L-1 salicylic acid. Maximum flower diameter and spike dimeter were observed in gladiolus plots sprayed with 150 mg L-1 salicylic acid. Lowest results were observed in gladiolus crop that received no salicylic acid or salicylic acid in low concentrations. Hence concluded that high concentrations of salicylic acid improved both vegetative and reproductive characteristics of gladiolus crop. Based on results, it can be recommended that salicylic acid at 200 mg L-1 should be sprayed on gladiolus crop to achieve maximum and good quality yield of gladiolus.
