Water pollution caused by various cationic dyes is becoming more and serious. A combination of magnetic materials, conductive polymers, some strong adsorption groups expected to solve this challenge. Herein, magnetite (Fe3O4)@polypyrrole@2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (Fe3O4@PPy@AMPS) fabricated as adsorbent for removing methylene blue (MB), rhodamine B (RhB), malachite green (MG), crystalline violet (CV) from aqueous solution. The investigation the factors including type, concentration, time, temperature demonstrates that Fe3O4@PPy@AMPS has superior properties adsorb four dyes. maximum capacity these separately 183.486, 215.054, 144.718 194.175 mg/g. Notably, although it goes through five cycles, composite maintains a remarkable dye removal efficiency exceeding 95 %. Kinetic analysis reveals process conforms closely pseudo-second-order kinetic model. isotherm Langmuir model, signifying monolayer Thermodynamic parameters also indicate endothermic spontaneous. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) simulations affirm molecular interactions between dyes, elucidating mechanism. high recyclable nature underscores its significance in addressing wastewater remediation.

An Investigation into the Impact of Teachers’ Emotional Intelligence on Students’ Satisfaction of Their Academic Achievement

Social Sciences, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 13(5), С. 244 - 244

Опубликована: Апрель 28, 2024

This paper explores the correlation between teachers’ emotional intelligence (EI) and students’ academic achievement. Utilizing Daniel Goleman questionnaire, study delves into multifaceted aspects of EI that extend beyond traditional leadership qualities. contends that, while attributes such as determination, intelligence, vision are essential, they alone do not encapsulate effective leadership. Emotional introduces a spectrum qualities crucial for success, including self-awareness, managing emotions, motivating oneself, empathy, social skills. The employed questionnaire developed by researcher, employing statement-based approach. Participants, predominantly students, were tasked with selecting statements best resonated their experiences. aimed to assess various dimensions management, self-motivation, adeptness. Through statistical analysis collected data, examines relationship levels Findings revealed significance ability comprehend regulate well capacity empathy interaction. Furthermore, sheds light on how these facets contribute creating conducive learning environments fostering student engagement research underscores pivotal role in educational settings provides insights enhancing can positively impact outcomes. implications findings policies practices, advocating incorporation training development programs educators cultivate facilitate success.

Empirical Study on Emotional Perception and Restorative Effects of Suzhou Garden Landscapes: Text Mining and Statistical Analysis

Land, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(1), С. 122 - 122

Опубликована: Янв. 9, 2025

Suzhou classical gardens, as a unique form of urban green space in China, not only embody rich historical and cultural heritage but also showcase distinctive natural landscapes, exerting profound impact on modern mental health. This study employs text mining content analysis methods to qualitatively explore online comments about Gardens, which were collected using the Octopus Collector program mine public reviews from travel review platform Ctrip. These further combined with questionnaire survey data quantitatively analyze preferences among different gardens their restorative experience characteristics. We utilized ROST CM6 software for high-frequency word extraction, semantic network analysis, sentiment reveal emotional perceptions towards these gardens. The results indicate that majority express positive emotions, frequently mentioning words such “tranquil”, “quiet”, “serene”, highlighting significant psychological comfort spaces provide. Additionally, through one-way ANOVA Pearson correlation we found differences cognitive dimensions are closely related specific spatial factors landscape element diversity, visual scale, types greenery. findings suggest characteristics Gardens play crucial role shaping visitors’ responses. Based insights, proposed series design recommendations aimed at enhancing overall image healing functions Gardens. this enrich theoretical framework provide valuable insights practical application principles design. research underscores importance combining functionality aesthetic elements meet needs contemporary society.

Exploring the perspectives of undergraduates, graduates and managers on the skills learned in higher education engineering

Exacta, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown, С. e26785 - e26785

Опубликована: Фев. 3, 2025

The current job market has increasingly required behavioral skills from engineering professionals when compared to technical skills. However, Higher Education Institutions often do not prepare undergraduates for the real requirements. This study set out analyze gap between developed during higher education (HE) in students' perspectives (undergraduates and graduates) those by labor market. Two self-administration questionnaires were applied to: (1) students former of course, (2) companies’ managers same location as course. data analyzed order answer six hypotheses research based on concepts found literature. results confirm there is a university valued companies. work contributes discussion about quality HE Engineering, mainly developing countries like Brazil.

Milk production in developing has remained lower than 20 litres/cow/day developed countries. Subsequently the aim of current study determined influence socio-economic factors on dairy cow milk among small-scale farmers Marakwet East Sub-County, Kenya. Data was collected using a questionnaire from sample 220 through stratified and systematic random sampling. The descriptive results revealed that had mean age 47.1 ± 8.1 years, with family size 5 members, farmer experience 16.8 average annual income 900 250 USD. Majority were male (65.8%), married (90.3%), primary level education (53.1%) involved full-time farming activities (63.3%). multiple linear regression significantly (Adjusted R<sup>2</sup> = 0.791, <I>P</I> < 0.01) influenced at 79.1% where unit increase education, family/household size, farmer’s total positive impact 60.2%, 109.1%, 131.1%, 112.2% respectively production. Strategies to improve should encourage more women youth be proactive local sector.
