Optimizing Emulsion Liquid Membrane Process for Extraction of Nickel from Wastewater Using Taguchi Method
No full textAbstract--The main objectives of this research were focused on extracting nickel ions from waste water using emulsion liquid membrane as well as determining the optimal conditions for the extraction process. Taguchi experimental design method was applied to determine the optimum extraction conditions. The controllable factors of the emulsion liquid membrane process were carrier; surfactant; and internal phase concentration, treating ratio, stirring time, and feed phase acidity were optimized. The contribution of each controllable factor was also explored. The results indicated the greatest effect of the carrier concentration in comparison to other parameters. The five other parameters slightly affected the extraction percentage of nickel. The optimum conditions for the extraction was found to be carrier concentration (M) of 0.25, surfactant concentration (v %) of 10, internal phase concentration (M) of 0.1, external / emulsion ratio (v/v) of 5, stirring time (min.) of 1, and feed phase pH of 0.5.</jats:p

Effect of Psychological First Aid Intervention Program on Post-traumatic Growth¬ among Recently Diagnosed Cancer Patients
No full textAbstract: Cancer diagnosis and related treatment represent one of the most painful and distressing events that human beings can meet in their life. This causes a serious crisis in the lives of patients, their families, and those around them. This study aims to evaluate the effect of psychological first aid intervention program on post-traumatic growth among recently diagnosed cancer patients. Study design: A quasi-experimental design was utilized. Setting: The study conducted in the following hospitals at Ismailia city: Suez Canal University Hospitals and Ismailia Oncology Hospital. Subject: A sample of 52 recently diagnosed cancer patients. Tools of data collection: Two tools were used: Tool (I) demographic characteristics and medical background. Tool (II) Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI). Results: Findings revealed that, recently diagnosed cancer patients had low level of post-traumatic growth in pre-program phase while, post and follow up phases, the results revealed that patients had high level of post-traumatic growth. Conclusion: Psychological first aid intervention program had significant effect on improvement of post-traumatic growth of recently diagnosed cancer patients in post, and follow up study phases compared with pre-program phase. Recommendation: Psychological first aid based interventions can be combined with care programs of hospitals and daily clinical works as a complementary intervention.

The implications of self growth on child language
No full textThis study focused on the effect of infant personal growth towards stages of language acquisition.
It aims to discuss on personal growth stages and the objective of the study, and the extent of its
effect in shaping the child’s language. It proposes a necessary question; does the study of personal
growth stages can sufficiently rely on observation alone? Similarly, this research touches upon the
importance of external factors that can affect the child’s life and language, and gives an idea on
the development of foetus in its early weeks, and the relationship of the mother with the foetus, in
terms of understanding the significance and educational relationship between the psychological
and health condition of the mother and her foetus as a child-to-be, and how it passively and actively
affects its psychology, stimulation, emotion and language in the future life. The current reality has
shown that the early stage of infancy is crucial for the future life of a person as children in this
stage of growth begin to properly adapt themselves with the external environment just as how
cultures and traditions constitute their first lesson in life. No doubt that a child’s language
acquisition is important in shaping a strong presence of his attempt to adapt to the very
environment that he lives. This research concludes that personal growth has a major role in
affecting the child’s language. The author suggests that it is necessary to materialize several
applied linguistic and educational programmes and have them recognized to fruitfully benefit from
the stages of growth in orientating the child’s education and language acquisition until he has
obtain sound education based upon modern scientific foundations
Overview on Hepatitis B vaccination
No full textBackground: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is increasing globally, posing a serious public health problem. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and mortality are among the leading causes of death worldwide. Concerns for public health are amplified by the fact that about a third of the world's population is afflicted with HBV. HBV infection may result in cirrhosis, hepatocellular cancer, or both (HCC).Immunization is the most cost-effective strategy available worldwide for controlling and preventing hepatitis B in terms of benefit-cost ratio. Objective: This review article discusses the most critical components of the HBV vaccine and the most efficient strategies for increasing HBV vaccinatio
Aluminum Multicharged Ion Generation from Femtosecond Laser Plasma
No full textAluminum multicharged ion generation from femtosecond laser ablation is studied. A Ti:sapphire laser (wavelength 800 nm, pulse width ∼100 fs, and maximum laser fluence of 7.6 J/cm2) is used. Ion yield and energy distribution of each charge state are measured. A linear relationship between the ion charge state and the equivalent acceleration energy of the individual ion species is observed and is attributed to the presence of an electric field within the plasma-vacuum boundary that accelerates the ions. The ion energy distribution follows a shifted Coulomb-Boltzmann distribution. For Al1+ and Al2+, the ion energy distributions have two components; the faster one can be attributed to multiphoton laser ionization, while the slower one is possibly due to collisional processes. Ion extraction from the plasma is increased with an applied external electric field, which is interpreted to be due to the retrograde motion of the plasma edge as a result of the external electric field. Multicharged ion generation by femtosecond laser ablation is compared to previously reported ion generation with nanosecond laser ablation and is shown to require significantly lower laser fluence and generates higher charge states and more energetic ions. © 2017 Author(s)

No full textAn optimized architecture for real-time fraud detection in big data systems, ecosystems, and environments
No full textThe exponential growth of data in recent years has created significant challenges in fraud detection. Fraudulent activities are increasingly widespread across sectors, such as banking, web networks, health insurance, and telecommunications. This trend highlights a growing need for big data technologies such as Hadoop, Spark, Storm, and HBase to enable real-time detection and analysis of data fraud. This study aims to enhance understanding of the fraud classifications and their spread in various sectors. Fraud detection involves analyzing data and developing machine learning (ML) models or traditional rule-based systems to identify abnormal activities as they occur. The analysis in this paper examines both the advantages and limitations of these solutions, particularly regarding scalability and performance. This paper evaluates the methods and big data tools used in fraud detection and prevention through a comprehensive literature review, emphasizing the implementation challenges. This review discusses existing solutions, operational environments, and the ML algorithms and traditional rules employed. The main objective of this study is to address these challenges by proposing an innovative architecture that equips organizations with the latest knowledge and methodologies in big data technologies for real-time fraud detection and prevention
The Egyptian worker: Work beliefs and attitudes
No full textEarlier investigations have indicated that work beliefs in organization are impacted by different national cultures. In addition, those investigations have sought to understand the meaning of work in such different cultures. This study explores the meaning of work in the Egyptian context through an assessment of work beliefs and work attitudes. The article starts with a presentation of what is meant by the meaning of work and why research into work beliefs is both needed and worthwhile. The article then presents a review of the relevant literature that evaluated the meaning of work in different countries. The review also elucidates recent research efforts that have tried to shed some light on the meaning of work in Middle-Eastern contexts. Data were collected from 201 Egyptian white-collar workers. Work beliefs and some job attitudes were assessed. Results indicate the prevalence of the humanistic work-belief system. Job satisfaction was positively correlated with the humanistic work-belief system and negatively with the Marxist work-belief system. The implications of these and other findings for international managers are discussed and recommendations for future researchers are put forward. © Springer 2009.AfDB-OECD, 2007, AFR EC OUTL; Ali A., 1993, INT STUDIES MANAGEME, V23, P53; ALI A, 1998, INT J SOCIOLOGY SOCI, V18, P1, DOI DOI 10.1108-01443339810788551; ALI A, 1989, ORGAN STUD, V10, P169, DOI 10.1177-017084068901000203; Ali AJ, 2005, J BUS ETHICS, V60, P63, DOI 10.1007-s10551-005-2626-6; ALI AJ, 1987, INT J MANPOWER, V8, P3, DOI 10.1108-eb045108; Ali AJ, 2002, J BUS ETHICS, V40, P133, DOI 10.1023-A:1020357008438; ALWARDI A, 1965, STUDY IRAQI SOC; Amin Galal A., 1995, EGYPTS EC PREDICAMEN; Barling J, 1998, J APPL PSYCHOL, V83, P112, DOI 10.1037--0021-9010.83.1.112; BRUSH DH, 1987, J OCCUP BEHAV, V8, P139, DOI 10.1002-job.4030080205; BUCHHOLZ RA, 1976, HUM RELAT, V29, P1177, DOI 10.1177-001872677602901206; BUCHHOLZ RA, 1977, PERS PSYCHOL, V30, P567, DOI 10.1111-j.1744-6570.1977.tb02328.x; BUCHHOLZ RA, 1978, J APPL PSYCHOL, V63, P219, DOI 10.1037--0021-9010.63.2.219; *CENTR INT AG, 2009, WORLD FACTB EG; Cheung CK, 1999, J PSYCHOL, V133, P563; Cook JD, 1981, EXPERIENCE WORK; Devos T, 2002, BRIT J SOC PSYCHOL, V41, P481, DOI 10.1348-014466602321149849; DICKSON JW, 1977, J MANAGE STUD, V14, P80, DOI 10.1111-j.1467-6486.1977.tb00618.x; DRUMMOND RJ, 1991, PSYCHOL REP, V69, P1116, DOI 10.2466-PR0.69.8.1116-1118; Elsayed-Elkhouly S., 1997, INT J COMMERCE MANAG, V7, P102, DOI 10.1108-eb047358; Furnham A, 1997, HUM RELAT, V50, P197; FURNHAM A, 1984, J OCCUP BEHAV, V5, P281, DOI 10.1002-job.4030050405; Furnham A, 2005, J PSYCHOL, V139, P5, DOI 10.3200-JRLP.139.1.5-32; Furnham A, 1997, J ECON PSYCHOL, V18, P1, DOI 10.1016-S0167-4870(96)00044-X; Glazer S, 2004, HUM RELAT, V57, P323, DOI 10.1177-0018726704043271; HIBBARD SW, 2006, THESIS J HOPKINS U M; Hofstede G., 2001, CULTURES CONSEQUENCE; HOFSTEDE G, 1984, ACAD MANAGE REV, V9, P389, DOI 10.2307-258280; Hofstede G.
