Evaluating the Integration of Technology by Teachers in E-Education in Elementary Schools Based on the International Standards for Technology in Education (ISTE) by Maryam Pourjamshidi

“…Various studies on technology integration and teacher competencies in using technology, both locally and globally, show that technology integration in education is sometimes favorable (Jalili, 2022; Nejati  Aref, 2019; Alawneh & Salman., 2024; Sapieva et al., 2023) while in other cases, it indicates shortcomings (Khanal et al., 2024; Kalinga & Ndibalema, 2023). A research gap identified from these findings is that most of them focus on face-to-face courses, with little attention given to e-education. …”

Research status and new design concept of compressed air energy storage technology in abandoned mine by Hanpeng WANG, Yunhao WU, Bing ZHANG, Jianguo FAN, Mengtian LI, Jiancai SUI, Wei WANG, Dekang SUN

“…In order to avoid the safety risks in the construction and operation of CAES gas storage, we put forward a new gas storage construction scheme “pipeline layout type abandoned mine gas storage (using large diameter seamless steel pipeline as gas storage space, filling loose filling body in the gap to bear pressure)”. Compared with traditional gas storage construction scheme, this scheme has the following advantages: Greatly reduces the site selection requirements of CAES gas storage for geological structure, surrounding rock permeability, surrounding rock stability and other conditions in the mining area, and increases the site selection range; Existing pipeline construction processes and technical equipment can be utilized to reduce the difficulty of constructing gas storage; Improve the sealing performance of CAES power station gas storage to prevent gas leakage; Improve the stress environment of surrounding rock and the stability of gas storage; Avoid the impact of corrosion on the gas storage increases its durability. …”
