Full textAbstract:
The objective of the present work is for assessing ergonomics-based IoT (Internet of Things) related healthcare issues with the use of a popular multi-criteria decision-making technique named the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) is a technique that combines alternative performance across numerous contradicting, qualitative, and/or quantitative criteria, resulting in a solution requiring a consensus. The AHP is a flexible strategy for organizing and simplifying complex MCDM concerns by disassembling a compound decision problem into an ordered array of relational decision components (evaluation criteria, sub-criteria, and substitutions). A total of twelve IoT-related ergonomics-based healthcare issues have been recognized as Lumbago (lower backache), Cervicalgia (neck ache), shoulder pain; digital eye strain, hearing impairment, carpal tunnel syndrome; distress, exhaustion, depression; obesity, high blood pressure, hyperglycemia. “Distress” has proven itself the most critical IoT-related ergonomics-based healthcare issue, followed by obesity, depression, and exhaustion. These IoT-related ergonomics-based healthcare issues in four categories (excruciating issues, eye-ear-nerve issues, psychosocial issues, and persistent issues) have been compared and ranked. Based on calculated mathematical values, “psychosocial issues” have been ranked in the first position followed by “persistent issues” and “eye-ear-nerve issues”. In several industrial systems, the results may be of vital importance for increasing the efficiency of human force, particularly a human–computer interface for prolonged hours.

There are now many observations of high velocity, molecular emission associated with outflows from young stars. This emission might come from molecules that are formed in the outflowing material, or from entrained, ambient molecular gas. The present paper explores the latter possibility, describing the efforts that have been made to model the “lateral entrainment” that occurs in the turbulent mixing layer formed along the edges of a jet-like flow (or, equivalently, at any interface between a fast moving flow and the surrounding environment). A simple, analytic approach based on model equations is used to provide a qualitative picture of the dynamical, thermal and chemical structure of such a turbulent mixing layer. Finally, a review of the efforts up to date of modelling the dynamics and chemistry of turbulent mixing layers is presented.

Full textAbstract:
Insider threats that occur within organizations cause more serious damage than external threats. However, there are many factors that are difficult to determine, such as the definition, classification, and severity of security breaches; hence, it is necessary to analyze system logs and user behavior-based scenarios within organizations. The reality is that qualitative judgment criteria are different for everyone to apply, and there is no detailed verification procedure to compare them objectively. In this study, realistic insider threats were examined through the definition, classification, and correlation/association analysis of various human–machine logs of acts associated with security breaches that occur in an organization. In addition, a quantitative process and decision-making tool were developed for insider threats by establishing various internal information leakage scenarios. As a result, insider threats were assessed quantitatively and a decision-making process was completed that enabled case analysis based on several insider threat scenarios. This study will enable precise modeling of insider threats that occur in real organizations and will support an objective process and a decision-making system to establish a range of required information for security protection measures.

Identifying and addressing systemic racial oppression in the education system is a key component in confronting pervasive health and economic disparities for Black students. In this qualitative study, we conducted secondary analysis of existing data. Transcripts of interviews and focus group discussions belonged to 21 Black students in a charter school in Michigan in the year 2013. Open access data were downloaded from University of Michigan’s Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) database in 2022. We used an inductive analytic approach to analyze the qualitative data for constructs related to experiences of structural racism. Three constructs that characterized students’ experiences of structural racism in the U.S. education system were found: (a) Lack of Color-conscious Curriculum; (b) Selective Cultural Erasure; and (c) The Demonstration of Racialized Power. For researchers, these data highlight a need for more studies on the effects of structural racism in the U.S. education system on educational, economic, and health outcomes. For administrative and policy makers, the results emphasize the need for educational initiatives that address deeply-rooted structural inequalities in the U.S. education system. This may include adoption of color-conscious curriculum and culturally responsive pedagogy, the utilization of restorative justice practices, and reparations for Black Americans.

Full textAbstract:
The necessity for automatic monitoring tools led to using 3D sensing technologies to collect accurate and precise data onsite to create an as-built model. This as-built model can be integrated with a BIM-based planned model to check the project’s status based on algorithms. This article investigates the construction progress monitoring (CPM) domain, including knowledge gaps and future research direction. Synthesis literature was conducted on 3D sensing technologies in CPM depending on crucial factors, including the scanning environment, assessment level, and object recognition indicators’ performance. The scanning environment is important to determine the volume of data acquired and the applications conducted in the environment. The level of assessment between as-planned and as-built models is another crucial factor that could precisely help define the knowledge gaps in this domain. The performance of object recognition indicators is an essential factor in determining the quality of studies. Qualitative and statistical analyses for the latest studies are then conducted. The qualitative analysis showed a shortage of articles performed on 5D assessment. Then, statistical analysis is conducted using a meta-analytic regression model to determine the development of the performance of object recognition indicators. The meta-analytic model presented a good sign that the performance of those indicators is effective where [p-value is = 0.0003 < 0.05]. The study is also envisaged to evaluate the collected studies in prioritizing future works from the limitations within these studies. Finally, this is the first study to address ranking studies of 3D sensing technologies in the CPM domain integrated with BIM.

The study of Differential equations and Difference equations play animportant and significant role in many sciences. These equations are used as mathematical tool used in solving various problems in modeling,physics, chemistry,biology, anthropology, etc. or even in social studies. Differential equations are used to solve real life problems by approximation of numerical methods. Theory of Differential and Difference equations has been taught at all levels in high schools and at the universities for all students, including students majoring in Mathematics.
This is a micro –study in which the research is designed in an exploitative, qualitative, descriptive and analytic framework to analyze the differential-difference equations. In this study, theoretical concepts, descriptive, analytical and numerical methods about differential-difference equations which areclarified by related examples. This research article seeks to study the relationship between them.
The finite difference method for solving equations leads to difference equationtheory, developing a parallel between difference equations and differential equations. The first differences are related to the first derivatives. Difference equations are discrete versions of differential equations, and similarly differential equations are continuous versions of difference equations.

Abstract: A novel method for the synthesis of polypeptides using polystyrene/divinylbenzene copolymers as solid supports has drawn the attention of medicinal, pharmaceutical, and agricultural chemists because of its utility in combinatorial chemistry and parallel synthesis. In this method, arrays of solid-phase organic synthesis experiments are conducted simultaneously thereby enabling the preparation of large numbers of novel compounds over a short time period. The analysis of organic compounds attached to polymer supports presents unique challenges to chemists. This study presents some results of the application of energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) in the environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) to this problem. EDS in the ESEM has the advantages of minimal sample size, speed, and simplicity because the analyses are performed without special specimen preparation. The progress of a two-step synthetic transformation was followed using EDS-ESEM by the presence of a sulfur peak in the first synthetic step and by a bromine peak in the second step. The synthetic products were also evaluated by infrared spectroscopy and by elemental analysis (ion chromatography). The agreement of the qualitative analysis among all three techniques was good. Analysis by EDS-ESEM not only complements current analytical techniques in solid phase synthesis; it also provides insight into the details of the synthetic transformation.

Full textAbstract:
Floods are common natural disasters worldwide, frequently causing loss of lives and huge economic and environmental damages. A spatial vulnerability mapping approach incorporating multi-criteria at the local scale is essential for deriving detailed vulnerability information for supporting flood mitigation strategies. This study developed a spatial multi-criteria-integrated approach of flood vulnerability mapping by using geospatial techniques at the local scale. The developed approach was applied on Kalapara Upazila in Bangladesh. This study incorporated 16 relevant criteria under three vulnerability components: physical vulnerability, social vulnerability and coping capacity. Criteria were converted into spatial layers, weighted and standardised to support the analytic hierarchy process. Individual vulnerability component maps were created using a weighted overlay technique, and then final vulnerability maps were produced from them. The spatial extents and levels of vulnerability were successfully identified from the produced maps. Results showed that the areas located within the eastern and south-western portions of the study area are highly vulnerable to floods due to low elevation, closeness to the active channel and more social components than other parts. However, with the integrated coping capacity, western and south-western parts are highly vulnerable because the eastern part demonstrated particularly high coping capacity compared with other parts. The approach provided was validated by qualitative judgement acquired from the field. The findings suggested the capability of this approach to assess the spatial vulnerability of flood effects in flood-affected areas for developing effective mitigation plans and strategies.

This paper presents comparative studies of preanalytical quality indices of vacuum gel systems (VGS) from four manufacturers, i.e., GL 795 (China), Vacuette (Austria), BD Vacutainer SST (USA) and Zdravmedtech (Russia). The analysis of the number of qualitative defects of the preanalytic phase of blood collection in vacuum gel tubes at the inpatient departments and in Department of Clinical Chemistry (preanalytic laboratory), in accordance with adopted criteria based on Russian industry standards, which are implemented with European indices of pre-analytic stage. The obtained results allowed us to identify a number of qualitative defects at pre-analytic stage for the vacuum gel systems from each manufacturer, including to summarize the data on number of these defects. Based on these results, the most common defects in each of the VGS presented by manufacturers are formulated. The results obtained can be used by manufacturers to improve the quality (structures) of the mentioned vacuum gel tubes.The results of the comparative characteristics of VGS of different manufacturers were evaluated by their influence on the indexes of hemolysis (IH), ictericity, lipemia. The resulting indices of ictericity and lipemia do not allow to use them as criteria for assessing quality of the gel systems. The frequency of IH occurrence in serum at > 50 conventional units in VGS of different manufacturers was studied. It was revealed, that IH in the range from 10 to 50 conventional units and more, can be used as a criterion of VGS quality.Comparison of routine biochemical parameters in VGS of different manufacturers, i.e., alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, direct bilirubin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), serum K+, was also carried out. It was found that the largest deviations from the average value were obtained for aspartate aminotransferase indices of more than 12.47% in Russian test tubes, and for direct bilirubin of more than 12.25% in Chinese test tubes and more than 9.15% in Russian test tubes. The study showed influence of IH upon quantitative values of lactate dehydrogenase for VGS from different manufacturers. It is proposed to use lactate dehydrogenase as an analyte. On this basis, it is possible to recommend a comparative quality assessment of vacuum gel systems, with IH cutoff level of more than 19 conventional units. It remains relevant to search for other analytes that can be used to assess the quality of VGS from different manufacturers. Some areas of research in biochemical testing are outlined. Preliminary data are obtained on usage of vacuum systems from different manufacturers for quality assessment, as well as conditions for performing these tests, along with the level of the hemolysis index of more than 10 conventional units.

Hydroxyurea (HU) is a cytostatic agent with antineoplastic activity and it has great clinical efficacy in the treatment of sickle cell disease. HU is part of the National Relation of Essential Medicines of Brazil and despite of its clinical importance, only the Portuguese, American and European Pharmacopoeias present monographs for this medicine. This study aimed to develop qualitative methods for identification and verification of purity of HU. For the HU identification, IR and UV spectroscopy were used, as well as TLC. The IR and UV spectra showed compatibility and the maximum absorption at 213 nm. For TLC, various pure or polarity gradient solvents were tested with results satisfactory for a mobile phase containing acetone and ethyl acetate (99:1, v/v). The replacement of the mobile phase generated less chemical waste, while minimizing the risks to the health of the operator, in accordance with the main concept of green analytical chemistry.

Analytical chemistry and qualitative-quantitative analysis practices have an important place in chemistry education. Operations such as experimental steps in volumetric analysis, reactions, and determining the amount of matter require problem-solving and higher-order thinking skills due to mathematical calculations. Students have difficulty and anxiety in making calculations in the volumetric analysis. This research aimed to examine the ability of chemistry teacher candidates to use the data obtained from the neutralization titration experiments in the calculation of the experimental result and to analyze the effects of information obtained from experiments on solving volumetric analysis problems. The sample of the study consisted of 13 chemistry teacher candidates studying in the chemistry teaching program of a state university. The research employed a descriptive survey model. Experiment data sheets and question solutions were taken as written answers. As a result of the research, it is noteworthy that the teacher candidates have problems in calculating the results of the experiment, and this has been overcome with increasing applications.

Full textAbstract:
It has always been stated in electronics, semiconductor and solid state device textbooks that the hole drift and electron drift currents in the depletion region of a p–n junction are constant and independent of applied voltage (biasing). However, the explanations given are qualitative and unclear. We extrapolate the existing analytic theory of a p–n junction to give a quantitative explanation of why the currents are constant. We have also shown that the carrier concentrations in the depletion region, as depicted in some of the textbooks, are incorrect, and need to be revised. Our calculations further demonstrate that in reverse biasing, both hole and electron carrier concentrations each experience a local maximum and a local minimum, indicating that their diffusion currents change directions twice within the depletion region.

Full textAbstract:
In the middle ages, the renaissance became the starting point for human awakening as a creature free from the constraints of tradition, culture and religion. The theory of rationality is more dominant or commonly called secularism, which separates religion and reason. This concept impacts on the principle that reason has no authority over revelation. So that the human condition in realizing welfare always justifies all means, unconsciously it has made damage to natural resources which has an impact on scarcity of goods (scharcity). By using a descriptive analytic method and a qualitative approach that analyzes the book "Hayy bin Yaqzan" by Ibn Thufail's masterpiece, which combines reason and religion. Finally, this article presents several concepts of economic rationality which are believed to be capable of creating equality. Some of the principles outlined in the book are the principles of ta'awun in utilizing natural resources, adaptive and creative as well as the support of good science and technology. Apart from that, he also provides strategies in creating welfare that can only be achieved by practicing the value of economic rationality by measuring the level of efficiency in fulfilling satisfaction without neglecting the balance of the surrounding nature.

Quantum physics involves counterintuitive abstract concepts and complex mathematical procedures that are difficult to understand by physics and chemistry students at university level. This study employs case study- one of the methods of qualitative study- and it aims to determine the difficulties prospective chemistry and physics teachers encounter in understanding quantum numbers. 17 students in total were included in the study. The data were collected via a test of three open-ended questions developed by the researchers. The collected data were then analysed by using the content analysis method. It was found accordingly that both prospective chemistry teachers and prospective physics teachers had difficulties in understanding quantum numbers. The findings obtained in this study were compared with the ones obtained in similar studies and were discussed accordingly.

Selecting suppliers plays an important role in improving efficiency of supply chains. In the field of extraction of vegetable oil, one of the main submaterials is hexane solvent. Choosing a supplier of hexane solvent is a multicriteria decision-making task that decision-makers must have an understanding of the quantitative and qualitative elements for assessing the symmetrical impact of the criteria to reach the most accurate result. In this paper, the authors suggest a multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) model for N-hexane solvent (C6H14) supplier evaluation and selection for vegetable oil production. All criteria affecting to the hexane solvent supplier evaluation and selection process are defined by experts. Then, a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) multicriteria comparative analysis method has been applied for determining the weight of all criteria. Finally, the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) was applied to select the optimal hexane solvent supplier. As a result, decision making unit 003 (DMU3) is the optimal supplier. The contribution of this research is to propose an MCDM model for hexane solvent supplier selection in the food industry. The work also proposed a useful guideline for supplier evaluation and selection processes in other industries.

In this study, an integer-order rabies model is converted into the fractional-order epidemic model. To this end, the Caputo fractional-order derivatives are plugged in place of the classical derivatives. The positivity and boundedness of the fractional-order mathematical model is investigated by applying Laplace transformation and its inversion. To study the qualitative behavior of the non-integer rabies model, two steady states and the basic reproductive number of the underlying model are worked out. The local and global stability is investigated at both the steady states of the fractional-order epidemic model. After analytic treatment, a structure-preserving numerical template is constructed to numerically solve the fractional-order epidemic model. Moreover, the positivity, boundedness and symmetry of the numerical scheme are examined. Lastly, numerical experiment and simulations are accomplished to substantiate the significant traits of the projected numerical design. Consequences of the study are highlighted in the closing section.

Finding reliable partners is the key to supply chain management. However, the symmetrical evaluation of enterprise trust is complex, so the decision-makers must understand its quantitative and qualitative characteristics in order to realize a reasonable evaluation. Based on the analysis of the causes and influencing factors of supply chain trust, this paper constructed four primary indexes and 16 secondary indexes to define enterprise trust, and used analytic network process (ANP) to evaluate and rank the indicators. Then, the paper constructed a supply chain directed weighted trust evolution network model based on complex network theory, integrated trust into the network with edge weights, and put forward the merit index of comprehensive node degree, weight, and efficiency to study the supply chain network evolution. The simulation results show that the node degree distribution in the trust evolution network conforms to the power-law distribution rule, and the trust evolution model of the complex network has obvious scale-free characteristics, which effectively avoid the situation that the node influence is too high due to the excessive strength of a single index. At the same time, it can quickly evaluate the node influence of the directed weighted complex network, and provide certain practical value for the node trust prediction of the supply chain network.

From Science Education, the Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is making an important contribution to the analysis of teacher training and the improvement of professionals. As such, a study was conducted to characterise the PCK of a teacher holding a degree in chemistry teaching; he teaches organic chemistry concepts at a higher education institution. The research involved a case study and was qualitative in nature; document analysis was also used as an analytical technique; besides, information was collected by use of Representations of Content (ReCo), Pedagogical and Professional Experience Repertoires (PaP-eR), document analysis of the participating teacher’s work, classroom observation, and interviews. With these tools, we were able to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the participating teacher, and from there, to infer aspects that needed improving in training undergraduates in chemistry. I found that, in this case, the teacher sees himself as chemist and not as chemistry teacher (i.e. there is a lack of professional identity); perhaps, because it is the dominant factor in his disciplinary knowledge at the expense of topics related to the knowledge of school context, as well as historical-epistemological and psycho-pedagogical knowledge. The latter indicates, as a characteristic of the participant’s PCK, that this PCK is incipient due to the disarticulation of its components, which weakens the teaching of organic chemistry concepts. This suggests the need to strengthen the initial training of teachers in their role as teaching professionals, and to integrate components of the PCK.

Purpose – The present study examined the effect of Directed Activity Related to Texts (DARTs) and gender on students’ achievement in Chemistry. The present study focused on the qualitative analysis component of Chemistry which has been perceived as being most difficult among students. Methodology – The study involved 120 form four science stream students from two local fully residential schools. In a quasi-experiment, participants studied the qualitative analysis of salt topic using one of these three instructional methods: Experiment, DARTs, and Combination of Experiment and DARTs; and later their knowledge about salt was tested. Findings – Results of a two-way independent ANOVA performed on the experiment data revealed a significant main effect of Instructional method—the mean scores for the combined method group was the highest, followed by the DARTs group and then the Experiment group. Further analysis using an independent t-test showed that the difference in mean scores between the DARTs and Experiment groups was significant. It is argued that participants’ learning in the Combined method group might have been enhanced by the DARTs instructional method. The effect of gender and the interaction effect between the variables were not significant. Significance – The present findings provides experimental evidence regarding the role of the DARTs instructional method in enhancing qualitative analysis learning in Chemistry. The present findings also provide insights to educators on DARTs as an alternative methods of teaching and learning qualitative analysis topics in Chemistry. Keywords: directed activity related to texts, qualitative analysis, chemistry, students’ achievement, salt topic, gender.

Islamic religious education learning (PAI) at elementary school has been dominated teacher and is not conducted maximally. This causes students' attention less focused in the teaching and learning process. To overcme this problem, it needs an alternative learning method. This article is descriptive analytic using a qualitative approach. The data is collected used literature study. The research results indicate three things. The first is, the scramble method is a relatively new learning technique, it also makes students are actively involved in the teaching and learning process. The second is, PAI learning is still dominated by the teacher which causes students to be less active and resulted learning outcomes too low. The third is, the scramble method is very important to be applied in PAI learning for elementary schools. This is done to improve student learning outcomes and change the monotonous learning methods.

Full textAbstract:
The digitization of the manufacturing industry, 10 years after the introduction of the Industry 4.0 concept, is still one of the most demanding tasks for the companies, especially for SMEs. As one of the biggest barriers in new business model implementation, the lack of strategy and workforce skills is frequently mentioned in the literature. The high level of investments it requires and the perception of high risks with unclear future benefits can be avoided with readiness factor calculation. This paper presents a novel model for readiness factor calculation, oriented to process planning and based on decision support systems. The model enables the definition of the optimal strategic plan for the digitization with the use of decision support systems (analytic hierarchy process) and through the use of statistical methods implemented within the model it minimizes the influence of human subjectivity and quantification of qualitative criteria. This innovative approach enables the understanding of the transition process to new technology-enabled business models, in this case oriented towards process planning. The useability and reliability of the model is proven in a case study of a metal machining company.

Full textAbstract:
Building an integrated energy system (IES) is an excellent solution to environmental pollution and energy consumption currently. However, there are usually various IES configurations with different performances, and it is usually difficult for the decision-makers to select the most sustainable IES solution among multiple choices. In this paper, we attempt to design an evaluation method that considers the renewable energy and energy system model for evaluating the benefit of an IES. Firstly, this paper constructs an evaluation index system including four dimensions of technology, economy, environment, and society, based on the physical architecture of IES and its benefit influencing factors. It focuses on multiple energy sources or systems, and satisfies the overall evaluation of IES, resulting in accurate benefit evaluation results. Secondly, the subjective weight is determined by combining the triangular fuzzy number (TFN) and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The objective weight is determined by the entropy method. The combined weight is obtained by combining the subjective and objective weights, which solves the problem of the weight calculation error caused by the mutual influence between the indexes. Finally, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is used to conduct the benefit evaluation of the IES, which solves the problem that the qualitative index cannot be calculated. This paper takes an IES project in a city in northern China as a case study. Through sensitivity analysis and comparative analysis, the reliability and feasibility of the evaluation results and proposed method are verified. The analysis results show that the model evaluation results are intuitive and consistent with reality, and the data information utilization rate is high.

With the rapid development of the P2P (peer-to-peer) online lending industry, which is facing significant credit risk, personal credit evaluation is an important method to reduce credit risk. Based on the various indexes of personal credit risk evaluation of domestic and foreign commercial banks, and according to the characteristics of P2P online lending, this paper analyzes the factors that affect the credit risk of P2P online borrowers, introduces the unique risk factors in the field of Internet information, and constructs an index system of personal credit risk evaluation of P2P online lending, which combines qualitative and quantitative indexes, including six major indexes and 21 small indexes. It then quantifies each index and defines the judgment standard of the evaluation results. Using analytic hierarchy process (AHP), expert scoring method, and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, this paper establishes a personal credit risk evaluation model of P2P online lending based on AHP method. The public information of two borrowers on the “PaiPai Lending” platform are selected for experimental verification. The results show that the improved personal credit risk evaluation model has better applicability and can evaluate the borrower’s credit status more scientifically, accurately, and comprehensively; thus, it is an effective method of personal credit risk evaluation of P2P online lending.

This paper considers the transformation of a sine wave in the framework of the extended modified Korteweg–de Vries equation or (2+4) KdV, which includes a combination of cubic and quintic nonlinearities. It describes the internal waves in a medium with symmetric vertical density stratification, and all the considerations in this study are produced for the reasonable combinations of the signs of the coefficients for nonlinear and dispersive terms, provided by this physical problem. The features of Riemann waves—solutions of the dispersionless limit of the model—are described in detail: The times and levels of breaking are derived in an implicit analytic form depending on the amplitude of the initial sine wave. It is demonstrated that the shock occurs at two (for small amplitudes) or four (for moderate and large amplitudes) levels per period of sine wave. Breaking at different levels occurs at different times. The symmetric (2+4) KdV equation is not integrable, but nevertheless it has stationary solutions in the form of traveling solitary waves of both polarities with a limiting amplitude. With the help of numerical calculations, the features of the processes of a sinusoidal wave evolution and formation of undular bores are demonstrated and analyzed. Qualitative features of multiple inelastic interactions of emerging soliton-like pulses are displayed.

The tradition of qualitative research drives much of chemistry education research activity. When performing qualitative studies, researchers must demonstrate the trustworthiness of their analysis so researchers and practitioners consuming their work can understand if and how the presented research claims and conclusions might be transferable to their unique educational settings. There are a number of steps researchers can take to demonstrate the trustworthiness of their work, one of which is demonstrating and reporting evidence of reliability. The purpose of this methodological review is to investigate the methods researchers use to establish and report reliability for chemistry education research articles including a qualitative research component. Drawing from the literature on qualitative research methodology and content analysis, we describe the approaches for establishing the reliability of qualitative data analysis using various measures of inter-rater reliability and processes including negotiated agreement. We used this background literature to guide our review of research articles containing a qualitative component and published in Chemistry Education Research and Practice and the Journal of Chemical Education from the years 2010 through 2019 for whether they report evidence of reliability. We followed this by a more in-depth analysis of how articles from the years 2017 through 2019 discuss reliability. Our analysis indicates that, overall, researchers are presenting evidence of reliability in chemistry education research (CER) articles by reporting reliability measures, describing a process of negotiated agreement, or mentioning reliability and the steps taken to demonstrate it. However, there is a reliance on reporting only percent agreement, which is not considered an acceptable measure of reliability when used on its own. In addition, the descriptions of how reliability was established were not always clear, which may make it difficult for readers to evaluate the veracity of research findings. Our findings indicate that, as a field, CER researchers should be more cognizant of the appropriateness of how we establish reliability for qualitative analysis and should more clearly present the processes by which reliability was established in CER manuscripts.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to promote better understanding of different women entrepreneurs and self-employed women with regard to their educational level and field of study. Foremost, the aim is providing detailed knowledge about the phenomenon of women self-employed chemists in R & D sectors and throwing light not only on the single women but also on the general conditions they are working in and their opportunities to get ahead. Design/methodology/approach – The interdisciplinary research team followed an integrated research approach and combined qualitative with quantitative methods. By focussing on motives and causes of women self-employed chemists, this paper refers to the findings of two sub-studies, an online survey on self-employed (female and male) chemists in Germany and a qualitative study on the basis of biographical interviews tracing the professional biographies of women self-employed chemists. Moreover, the findings are analysed based on other sub-studies, like the analysis of the (start-up) conditions within the chemical industry and a discourse analysis of a well-known chemical periodical. Findings – It was found that the differences between female and male chemists turning self-employed or starting a business are less pronounced than the differences between male and female founders, in general. Research demonstrates that women chemists do have high qualifications and if they become entrepreneurs, the main cause for that is escaping their organisational employment. Being entrepreneurially active, women chemists might work more satisfactorily, at least they are able to surround the glass ceiling. Originality/value – This paper seeks to fill the gap of limited in-depth information on knowledge about female entrepreneurs and self-employed women with an academic background in chemistry. Focussing on one single field of study and profession of female entrepreneurs is, in that way, unique, as the research has looked on professionals who are not predestined for entry in entrepreneurship.

Full textAbstract:
Good critical thinking is important to the development of students and a valued skill in commercial markets and wider society. There has been much discussion regarding the definition of critical thinking and how it is best taught in higher education. This discussion has generally occurred between philosophers, cognitive psychologists and education researchers. This study examined the perceptions around critical thinking of 470 chemistry students from an Australian University, 106 chemistry teaching staff and 43 employers of chemistry graduates. An open-ended questionnaire was administered to these groups, qualitatively analysed and subsequently quantified. When asked to define critical thinking respondents identified themes such as ‘analysis’, ‘critique’, ‘objectivity’, ‘problem solving’, ‘evaluate’ and ‘identification of opportunities and problems’. Student respondents described the smallest number of themes whereas employers described the largest number of themes. When asked where critical thinking was developed during the study of chemistry students overwhelmingly described practical environments and themes around inquiry-based learning. When teaching staff were asked this question they commonly identified critiques, research, projects and practical environments to some extent. This research highlights that there is only limited shared understanding of the definition of critical thinking and where it is developed in the study of chemistry. The findings within this article would be of interest to higher education teaching practitioners of science and chemistry, those interested in development of graduate attributes and higher order cognitive skills (HOCS) and those interested in the student and employer perspectives.

Full textAbstract:
Research on mechanistic thinking in organic chemistry has shown that students attribute little meaning to the electron-pushing (i.e., curved arrow) formalism. At the University of Ottawa, a new curriculum has been developed in which students are taught the electron-pushing formalism prior to instruction on specific reactions—this formalism is part of organic chemistry's language. Students then learn reactions according to the pattern of their governing mechanism and in order of increasing complexity. If students are fluent in organic chemistry's language, they should have lower cognitive load demands when learning new reactions, and be better positioned to connect the three levels of chemistry's triplet (i.e., Johnstone's triangle). We developed a qualitative research protocol to explore how students use and interpret the mechanistic language. Twenty-nine first-semester organic chemistry students were interviewed, in which they were asked to (1) explain a mechanism, given all the starting materials, intermediates, products, and electron-pushing arrows, (2) draw in arrows for a reaction mechanism, given the starting materials and products of each step, and (3) predict the product of a reaction step, given the starting materials and electron-pushing arrows for that step. To investigate the students’ ideas about mechanistic language rather than their knowledge of specific reactions, we selected reactions for the interview guide that had not yet been taught. Following transcription, we analyzed the interviews using constant comparative analysis to explore how students used and interpreted the mechanistic language. Four categories of student thinking emerged with electron movement underlying students’ thinking throughout the interviews. Herein, we discuss these categories, students’ interpretation of the symbolism, connections to learning theory, and implications for teaching, learning, and research.

In this study, which builds on a previous qualitative study and literature review, high school chemistry teachers' characteristics regarding the design of chemistry formative assessments and interpretation of results for instructional improvement are identified. The Adaptive Chemistry Assessment Survey for Teachers (ACAST) was designed to elicit these characteristics in both generic formative assessment prompts and chemistry-specific prompts. Two adaptive scenarios, one in gases and one in stoichiometry, required teachers to design and interpret responses to formative assessments as they would in their own classrooms. A national sample of 340 high school chemistry teachers completed the ACAST.Vialatent class analysis of the responses, it was discovered that a relatively small number of teachers demonstrated limitations in aligning items with chemistry learning goals. However, the majority of teachers responded in ways consistent with a limited consideration of how item design affects interpretation. Details of these characteristics are discussed. It was also found that these characteristics were largely independent of demographics such as teaching experience, chemistry degree, and teacher education. Lastly, evidence was provided regarding the content- and topic-specificity of the characteristics by comparing responses from generic formative assessment prompts to chemistry-specific prompts.

Nevertheless, it is unfortunate that the research conducted on decision-making (DM) approaches for the technical condition assessment and the optimal replacement plan selection of existing BECIs remain scarce, which results in the waste of resources and the increase in cost. Therefore, a BECI technical condition assessment approach, which contains specific on-site inspection regulations with both qualitative and quantitative descriptions, is proposed in this research, and a corresponding calculation program has been developed based on the MATLAB platform, which provides the basis for the necessity of replacement. Simultaneously, the hybrid chaotic whale optimization algorithm is designed and performed to improve and automate the process of optimal replacement plan selection under the assistance of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), where both the achievement in consistency modification and the reservation of initial information are perused, and its superiority and effectiveness are verified via the comparative experimental analysis. The improved BECI replacement decision system is established, and the corresponding case study demonstrates that the proposed system in this research proves reasonable and feasible. The improved system can effectively assist bridge managers in making more informed operation and maintenance (O and M) decisions in actual engineering projects.

This study examines learners’ issues in learning the preparation and qualitative analysis of salts topic from Malaysian chemistry teachers’ perspectives. The researchers adopted a qualitative design and conducted semi-structured interviews with sixteen informants who have experience of teaching chemistry for more than five years. They were selected via purposive sampling. Document analysis was conducted to verify and supplement findings obtained from the interviews. The study reports five issues that emerged from the data analysis: negative perceptions, dealing with the number of information, imagining abstract concepts, mastery of basic knowledge and solving problems, and fulfilling the grading criteria. The study results confirm the unanimity of past studies on students’ unfavorable views on these topics and their struggle in learning abstract concepts involved in the salts formation and analysis. Besides, students’ issues are also significantly rooted in having weak prior knowledge of salts, affecting their ability to solve related problems. The study suggested that teachers must practice various approaches and strategies deemed effective in aiding learners in learning and be more selective in choosing approaches tailored to the individual students’ issues in learning these topics in class.
