Abstract: The demand for economical and environmentally friendly materials has led to an increased interest in the use of natural fibers. This study investigates the potential of utilizing sugarcane bagasse, a waste product from the sugar industry, as a composite material combining with Polypropylene (PP) plastic, the composite material offers a range of advantages such as availability, cost-effectiveness, and favorable mechanical properties. Research involves the preparation of two samples with varying proportions of bagasse and Polypropylene plastic, where Sample A has 900g of Polypropylene Plastic and 100g of Bagasse and Sample B has 950g of Polypropylene Plastic......

Abstract: Africa, particularly Kenya, is one of the world's regions most severely impacted by climate change. Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) has gained increased significance in international debates on climate change since education is the only thing that can genuinely bring about substantial change in society, the environment, or the economy. This paper's primary goal is to shed some insight into the extent to which the Kenyan government has integrated climate change into the educational system, notably in technical and vocational training facilities. Secondary research was used to examine the information from already-existing resources and publications to define and contextualize the concepts of TVET and climate change. To lessen the effects of climate change, this study found that most TVET institutions in Kenya still lack established institutional policies on greening TVET.

Abstract: The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD), which developed the CBC, released it in 2017 under the direction of the Ministry of Education. According to KICD, the 8-4-4 Curriculum was unsuitable for the shifting of Kenyans since it placed more emphasis on academics than on preparing students for the workforce, necessitating the creation of CBC. Despite the gains in CBC implementation in schools and the transition to Junior Secondary School, the government still faces particular difficulties in implementing this new Curriculum. Secondary research was done to examine the data from already-existing sources and publications to assess and contextualize the implementation of CBC in Kenya and the transition to Junior Secondary School (JSS). This essay evaluates Kenya's CBC implementation and JSS transitional success stories and discusses Kenya's difficulties in doing so.

Abstract: Antimony, a widely utilized element in industrial applications, poses a pollutant of emerging concern. To assess its environmental impact, reliable quantification in various complex matrices is of great importance. Even in speciation analysis, the determination of accurate total concentrations is the first step to obtain reliable results in this research field.
This article provides an overview of total antimony quantification methods using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), namely flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry......

Its area expanse from the Pokhar and dependencies of Amber to Bikaner and Jaisalmer which is approximately 168 kos.1 The area in breadth from the extreme limits of the Sarkar of Ajmer to Banswara is 150 kos.2 Mughal atlas denotes Amber expansion between 26 + to 75+ was the core territory of the chiefdom of the celebrated kachhwaha line.3 However, geographically this south-eastern part of Rajasthan had considerable varied character. It encompasses wide hill ranges, and extended stretches of forest. It traversed by substantial rivers, and numerous parts has wide valleys, fertile table-lands, and prodigious spans of admirable soil.4 These factors consider responsible for Agrarian productivity.

Abstract: Bentonite is a potential material for its use in barriers. However, due to exposure to toxic substances and natural processes, such as compression, cracking, etc., the insulating properties of clay may deteriorate. The modification of clays with anionic polymers is proposed to prevent these consequences. The ability to absorb and hold water and solutions is one of the essential characteristics of clays for some applications. The influence of anionic polymers, such as polyacrylamide (PAA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), on the hydrosorption properties of the bentonite of the Cherkasy deposit of bentonite and palygorskite clays (Ukraine), was investigated in the research. Water absorption of clays was determined using the Enslin method. It was established that the.......
