Purpose – The purpose of this research paper is to examine the early stages of a research project aimed at evaluating the pedagogic effectiveness of a teaching module in computing ethics. Design/methodology/approach – Scores of students’ cognitive capabilities to make moral judgements were measured before and after they had taken the module by means of the “Defining Issues Test” (DIT). This is ...

There is compelling support for widening the role of computed tomography (CT) COVID-19 in clinical and research scenarios. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing, gold standard diagnosis, has two potential weaknesses: delay obtaining results possibility RT-PCR test kits running out when demand spikes or being unavailable altogether. This perspective article discusses u...

Societies are confronted with grand challenges that require the efforts and coordination of diverse stakeholders. In this context, role for-profit organizations has become vital in addressing such challenges. Drawing on strategy tripod perspective, study investigated influence reverse engineering frugal product-innovation performance (PIP) through mediating effect innovation (i.e., cost innovat...

This paper reviews recent studies that examine how music has been used for electioneering in the 2016 general elections Zambia. After a survey of several papers addressing and contemporary Zambia, total three specific to are examined, these are: “Music its Role Electoral Process Zambia” by Namuyamba et al (2018); “The Discursive Music African Elections: A Perspective from Mambwe (2019); “Singin...

With the increasing installed capacity of desalination, the greenhouse gas emission for generating the required energy to power the desalination plants is also becoming the focus of attention in the world community. Domestic reverse osmosis membranes have been very successful technology especially in the developing world to provide safe drinking water. The novel concept of photovoltaic powered ...

Circular economy business models often rely on reverse supply chains and logistics to close material loops, such as recycling waste scrap into secondary raw materials, extending product life by promoting direct reuse, repair, refurbishment remanufacturing. Such activities can extend beyond borders require the transboundary movement of end-of-life products enable economies scale. In this context...

In this study, we investigate the performance impacts of design sourcing choices in addressing an architectural innovation from its originating market to subsequent markets. We maintain that effects internalization and externalization on technological firms' products may vary across markets with different requisite demands due dynamics knowledge spillovers exchange hazards those hypothesize is ...

copper sulfate was used as a precursor to prepare cuo nanoparticles in reverse micelles (o/w microemulsion).  this is a technique which allows the preparation of ultrafine metal oxide nanoparticles within the size ranging from 50 to 60 nm. the preparation of nano copper (ii) oxide studied was investigated in the inverse microemulsion system. therefore the nucleation of metal particles proceeds ...

cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a wide spectrum of mutations in the gene encoding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein. these mutations that correlate with different phenotypes, vary in their frequency and distribution in different populations. in this study missense mutation r117h that associated with the different clinical symptoms wa...
