Green building development utilising modified fired clay bricks and eggshell waste by Wafaa Soliman, Yasser M. Z. Ahmed, Ahmed Ghitas, Abdel‑Hamid El‑Shater, M. Abdelhamid Shahat

“…In this regard, the brick containing 10% eggshell that was fired at 1100°C possessed the greatest drop in heat conductivity (i.e., 50%), thermal diffusivity (30%), and thermal effusivity (30%) as compared to the pure one. Given the aforementioned findings, these additions hold the potential to reduce the energy required for both heating and cooling buildings. …”

Moisture Sorption by Low‐Cost Pyridinium‐Based Protic Ionic Liquids: Kinetics and Physico‐Electrochemical Properties by Sayyar Muhammad, Najia, Zarshad Ali, Samina Aziz, Muhammad Hammad Khan, Maroosh Iqbal, Umair Hassan, Jalal Khan, Asad Ali

“…The appearance vibration bands in the 3095–3252 cm−1 range for −NH+ stretching in the FTIR spectra and a peak at a chemical shift of 8.439 ppm in the 1H‐NMR of the liquids confirm their synthesis as no such bands/peaks can be seen in that of the pure pyridine spectra. The PILs’ hygroscopic nature was examined by exposing them (5 mL each sample with exposed surface area 3.143 cm2) to air for varied time intervals at a relative humidity, RH=58±5 % and T=20±5 °C. …”

Authority and Moral Conflicts in the Films of Adébáyọ Fálétí: Àfọ̀njá, Gáà, Ṣawo Ṣẹ̀gbẹ̀rì and the Yorùbá Cosmopolis by Olayinka Agbetuyi

“…Fálétí’s Afọnja and Gáà’s thematic preoccupation is how the Yorùbá subjectivity has been constituted over time through its political evolution. The three films also demonstrate what Stuart Hall considers to be the connection that cultural studies seeks to make to matters of power and cultural politics.3 With regards to the role of Fálétí as pioneer in the area of radio-vision cultural industries the broadcasting mogul narrated the manner in which he pioneered the phone-in radio broadcast in Nigeria on the programme “Ѐyí Àrà” at the Broadcasting Corporation of Ọyọ̀ ́ State, Ibadan (BCOS) after pioneering Yorùbá broadcasting on Africa’s first television station Western Nigeria Television (WNTV) twenty years earlier.4 Fálétí’s career spanning close to seven decades dovetails public services with private engagement with drama production. …”

Faut-il se souvenir du républicanisme anglais ? L’héritage intellectuel du républicanisme anglais dans le temps long by Myriam-Isabelle Ducrocq

“…From a purely superficial institutional perspective–the Interregnum spanned eleven years (1649-60), and the republican regime proper, the Commonwealth, only lasted three (1649-53) – it may seem that English republicanism was but a brief parenthesis which could be easily forgotten. …”
