The purpose of this research to explore the impact of parental involvement on the academic achievement of students at Crescent International School and to determine whether the demographic variable of parents has an effect on their involvement in their children's education. In addition, the study sought to examine what existing literature review found on the relation between parental involvement and children's academic achievement. The present study was carried out at Crescent International School in Bangkok, Thailand. The responses of 12 parents, whose children are enrolled in secondary level, were taken as samples for the current study. The Intensity Sampling Technique was used in this research. A questionnaire about demographics of parents was distributed and interviews were conducted to assess the level of parent involvement. To find out student achievement level, the students results were used. The qualitative method was used to gauge the impact of parental involvement on students' academic achievement. The results revealed that parental income level has no impact on the level of involvement in their children's education. However, educational level, age, employment and marital status of the parents had greater impact on parental involvement. The main findings of this research indicated that students with highly involved parents had better academic performance and higher test scores in all the subjects compared to students whose parents were not involved in their education. the findings, suggested that parents should grow more awareness on the importance of visiting and supporting their children in school. It was also recommended that parents should take an active role in assisting their children's education at school and at home since they are the first teachers of their children.

Conductivity (EC) and total dissolved solids (TDS) are water quality parameters, which are used to describe salinity level. These two parameters are correlated and usually expressed by a simple equation: TDS = k EC (in 25 °C). The process of obtaining TDS from water sample is more complex than that of EC. Meanwhile, TDS analysis is very important because it can illustrate groundwater quality, particularly in understanding the effect of seawater intrusion better than EC analysis. These conditions make research in revealing TDS/EC ratios interesting to do. By finding the ratio value, TDS concentration can be measured easily from EC value. However, the ratio cannot be defined easily. Previous research results have found that the correlation between TDS and EC are not always linear. The ratio is not only strongly influenced by salinity contents, but also by materials contents. Furthermore, the analysis of TDS concentration from EC value can be used to give an overview of water quality. For more precision, TDS concentrations need to be analyzed using the gravimetric method in the laboratory.

In this paper, we examine existing literature on the way that the number of blades of a wind turbine affects its efficiency and power generation. A wind turbine blade is an important component of a clean energy system because of its ability to capture energy from the wind. The power that a wind turbine extracts from the wind is directly proportional to the swept area of the blades; consequently, the blades have a direct effect on power generation. The number and configuration of the blades is very important because it affects the speed and efficiency of turbine. Unfortunately, as the number of blades increases, so does the slipstream effect. Too few a number of blades results in poor efficiency and thus inadequate performance. Too large a number of blades increases weight and production cost. The correct number of blades is important to fit the generator performance curve to optimize overall turbine performance and efficiency.

In the present work, the phenol-sulfuric acid method and the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method were developed with the aim to quantitatively analyze total sugars and reducing sugars, respectively. In regard with the phenol-sulfuric acid assay, 1.0 mL of sample was treated with 1.0 mL of 5% phenol, 5.0 mL of concentrated H2SO4 and measured at 485 nm, with the linearity range of 10–100 ppm for total sugars. The DNS method was performed on 2.0 mL of sample, using 1.5 mL of DNS at 80 °C for 10 minutes and measured at 510 nm, with the linearity range of 50–400 ppm for reducing sugars. The sugar contents of white dragon fruit-derived sugar-samples (extracted from species in Binh Thuan province, Vietnam) were also estimated by the above measured methods, exhibiting the total sugars of above 90% and the reducing sugars of above 5%. The methods were well-performed with the acceptable relative standard deviations of repeatability in accordance with the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC).

Tesla's rapid rise to become one of the world's most influential automakers has marked the start of a new era in the global automobile industry, where many of the traditional auto companies were overshadowed by Tesla's dominance. Judging from Politics, Economy, Society and Technology perspectives, Tesla's market value can potentially be overvalued due to its leading role in the Electrical vehicle market. Economically, Tesla facilities the growth of global economy by creating more employments and manufacturing factories. Socially and politically, Tesla's Electrical Vehicle reduces the level of negative externalities (e.g., pollution), which aligns with the developmental frameworks proposed by governmental policies and regulations. Meanwhile in technological aspect, Tesla pioneers the innovative design of battery pack to reduce the overall cost of battery and seeks to integrate better automatic driving system into electrical vehicle. Given those merits of Tesla, overoptimism on its stock price is expected. Therefore, it is important for stock traders who are willing to throw money at Tesla to ruminate over their choices before making the investment. In this study, the results of valuation methods indicate that true market value of Tesla has been overestimated due to its irregularly high operating cash flow, price-to-earnings ratio and enterprise value to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ratio, suggesting its stock price is overvalued.

Katuk is widely popular with its benefits for breastfeeding mothers. Katuk is also known as a plant with a high antioxidant content. This study aims to determine the effect of using variations in the ethanol concentration as an extracting solvent in producing Total Phenolics Content (TPC) and Total Flavonoids Content (TFC) and their activities in reducing DPPH free radicals. The dried katuk leaves were extracted by cold maceration method. The solvent used for extraction is ethanol with 3 variations in concentration: 50%, 70%, and 96% (absolute ethanol). TPC and TFC were determined by colorimetric method using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. TPC was stated to be equivalent to gallic acid, while TFC was stated to be equivalent to quercetin. DPPH free radical scavenging activity was measured based on the IC50 value. The results showed that Katuk leaf extract produced from 50% ethanol solvent was able to produce TPC (42.18 ± 0.30 mg GAE / g), TFC (11.18 ± 0.38 mg QE / g) and reduction activity against DPPH radicals (IC50 = 88.33 ± 3.53 ppm). These were higher than ethanol with other concentrations. However, various things need to be considered when using this solvent given the high water content in the solvent.

Waste disposal is one of the important problems in the world. In general, wastes are categorized into different groups, and there are some special landfills and methods for disposing of each of these waste materials. However, it should be noted that although there are some rules and regulations that try to reduce the impact of waste disposal, landfills have negative effects on soil, air, water, and natural life. One of the most important sources of pollution in landfills is the leachate that is generated by the decomposition of waste. Leachate can penetrate into the soil and water resources, contaminate them, and can affect human life. Leachate generation has five different phases and each of these phases contains some reactions that have a direct impact on the quality and quantity of leachate. Leachate has four main types of pollution and each of these pollutants can contaminate soil and water resources and be hazardous for aquatic and animals in the soil. In addition, some of these contaminations can enter the food chain and affect the ecosystem and human life. The negative impacts of landfills remain even years after the landfill is closed. Therefore, it is important to consider the short-term and long-term effects of landfills on their surroundings to protect the environment and human health.

The large demand for cayenne pepper makes farmers need to make efforts to increase crop production by increasing the efficiency of using fertilizers. The alternative fertilizer comes from household waste, namely egg shells. This study aims to determine the effect of eggshell organic fertilizer on vegetative growth of cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.). The research method used was an experimental method using a completely randomized design (CRD) with 6 treatments and 5 replications. The treatments were P0 (control), P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 respectively, the treatment of eggshell organic fertilizer with a dose of 0; 45; 60; 75; 90; and 105 g. The treatments were given 3 days after transplanting and harvesting the plants 35 days after transplanting. Data for each parameter was tested for normality, homogeneity test, and analyzed by 1 factor ANOVA. Furthermore, the LSD test was carried out to determine the difference in effect between treatments. The best application of eggshell organic fertilizer was P4 treatment for parameters of root length and plant wet weight, respectively, 20.10 cm and 17.96 g, and P5 treatment for parameters of plant height and plant dry weight, respectively 54.80 cm and 3.00 g. The percentage of root length and wet weight of P4 treatment plants to control were 130.52% and 269.67%, respectively, while the percentage of plant height and dry weight of P5 treatment plants to control were 139.79% and 282.49%, respectively. The application of eggshell organic fertilizer can increase the vegetative growth of cayenne pepper.

The cone penetration test (CPT) is a widely used technique for on-site investigations. In the field, interpretation correlations of CPT can be established using laboratory calibration chamber tests. Empirical and theoretical correlations were developed for clay and sand under undrained and drained conditions, respectively. However, interpreting these results can be more challenging for intermediate soils that exhibit partial drainage during penetration and lie between fully undrained and drained conditions. Tailings, which are the by-products of mining and are often rich in fine particles, are a typical example of such intermediate soils. To gain a deeper understanding of the behavior of the tailings during CPT, a calibration chamber test was performed at a standard rate of 2 cm/s and subsequently at a slow rate of 0.02 cm/s, and the obtained results were analyzed.

Frost heave is a type of frost action that occurs when the soil temperature is below freezing temperature. Construction in cold regions is challenging and can cause severe damage to structures due to frost heave. The segregation potential (SP) is widely accepted in engineering design and for frost heave predictions as an indicator for frost susceptibility classification. The purpose of this study is to investigate the frost heave experiments in the JGS method and to evaluate the JGS frost susceptibility testing results for different soil mixtures with different SP through numerical simulation with a Thermal-Hydraulic coupled model. The results show good agreement between numerical simulation and test results for different degrees of frostsusceptible soils. This model is expected to provide accurate predictions of the frost heave behavior of different soils.

Previous studies have successfully simulated the interaction between wave and porous media using volume-averaged Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (VARANS) equations. However, the consolidation of porous media subject to wave loading affects the progressing wave, which is crucial to computation of wave force and wave-porous media interface fluid velocity. Research on this aspect is scarce. This study adopted the u-p approximation for Biot dynamic consolidation theory to quantify the consolidation of porous media. The continuity condition on the interfaces between the wave and porous seabed was considered to achieve their interaction. Coupling algorithms of wave and porous seabed were validated against experimental measurements in the literature. An engineering case of wave traveling over a breakwater was examined, and computation results of wave pressures and interface fluid velocities at the vicinity of a breakwater by VARANS equations and wave-porous seabed coupling algorithm of this study were compared to explore the influence of the consolidation effect on the progressing wave.
