Academic literature on the topic 'Ezinex'

This article presents the history of zinc, its production and demand. The quantity of zinc production, both primary zinc from ores and concentrates, and secondary zinc from scrap and zinc-rich waste, was discussed. A comprehensive economic analysis covers zinc prices in the years 1960–2021. The basic methods of obtaining zinc from ores, including pyrometallurgical (Imperial Smelting Process ISP, Kivcet, Ausmelt) and hydrometallurgical (roasting–leaching–electrowinning RLE, atmospheric direct leaching ADL, Engitec Zinc Extraction EZINEX, zinc pressure leach) and their short characteristics, are presented. The global zinc market and the main areas of its application were analyzed. Technologies used for the recovery of zinc from scrap are discussed along with their characteristics. Galvanized steel is the main source of secondary zinc, both in the galvanizing process and in the remelting of galvanized steel. It can be easily recycled with other scrap steel in the electric arc furnace (EAF) for steel production. Currently, with high volatility in the price of zinc, as well as its natural resources in the earth’s crust, recycling is an important activity, despite the fact that zinc concentrates have a relatively constant chemical composition, while the resulting zinc waste contains zinc in varying amounts.

This paper studies the documentation of endangered dialect of the Igbo language: Issues of greetings in Enugwu Ezike dialect. The objectives of the study are to identify different types of greetings in Enugwu Ezike, examine the extent to which other dialects, standard Igbo or English language are preferred in greetings in Enugwu Ezike and also to proffer measures through which the greeting patterns can be revitalised. The data for the study were gathered through introspection and unstructured oral interview. Using descriptive method of data analysis, the study discovers different types of greetings in Enugwu Ezike dialect ranging from daily greetings, greetings to the sick, farewell greetings, seasonal/ periodic greetings, eulogy/praise greetings etc. The study also discovers that many speakers of Enugwu Ezike dialect especially the younger generation prefer the greeting patterns of other dialects and languages. In order to avert this ugly phenomenon, the study suggests measures towards reviving this aspect of the dialect which are through documentation, awareness-raising through programs on radio and television stations, involving the young people via social media and the loyalty of the speakers towards their dialect. The study therefore recommends that researchers from Enugwu Ezike extraction should endeavour to work on other aspects of Enugwu Ezike dialect that is under threat of endangerment or outright extinction.

Abstract This executive doctorate project comes from the collaboration between the company Engitec Technologies S.p.A. and the Università degli Studi di Milano. The student joined the company staff, gaining access to the company laboratories and pilot plants. The project was focused on the study and optimization of hydrometallurgical processes for the recovery of metals from secondary resources. The two hydrometallurgical processes object of this work are proposed as alternatives to the state-of-the-art technologies applied worldwide for the recovery of zinc and lead. These two processes are capable to produce zinc and lead metals at high purity, avoiding purification and pyrometallurgical steps. Through a critical analysis of the available literature, research work initially focussed on the comprehension of the mechanisms and reactions at the base of the recovery processes. New alternative ways and optimizations were then put forward. In addition, thanks to a period spent working directly on a pilot plant installed in South Africa, identification of industrial-scale issues was pursued. As a result of this experimentation, many improvements were proposed and unravelled, resulting in ad-hoc equipment and concepts, conference presentations and a patent. The doctorate work brought to a series of steps forward in the comprehension and development of these processes, and to the permanent employment of the student in the company staff. Summary Reserves of natural resources are limited and nowadays it is necessary to pay more and more attention to the opportunities that a circular economy can provide. The technologies objects of this study are proposed as sustainable solutions to the shortage of raw materials from primary sources. The zinc technology is able to extract metal from zinc-bearing materials, as steel mill dusts, electrolysis wastes, mineral ores, and by-products. The Lead technology is able to extract lead metal directly from lead-acid-battery pastes; however, it can be applied in many other fields, as Cu/Au/Ag/Zn refining processes. These processes are based on hydrometallurgical approaches and avoid completely the high-temperatures treatments typical of pyrometallurgy. At the same time, the peculiar chemistry of Engitec processes (based on ammonium chloride) leads to a simpler series of treatments, as the removal of the chlorine-washing step in the standard Zinc sulphate electrolytic process. The Zero Liquid Discharge policy (ZLD) is adopted by the company for all hydrometallurgical processes, implying that no liquid effluents are released in the environment. The side-streams of the plants are designed to be solid products or by-products, decreasing the water and CO2 footprint as much as possible. The two processes for recovering zinc and lead are called EZINEX® and F.A.S.T. respectively and are based on the same concept with minor differences. The research focused primarily on the EZINEX® process due to market-related reasons. The first step is the leaching of the target metal using concentrated ammonium chloride solutions: the achievement of high extraction yields is one of the essential elements for these processes. The problem related to the presence of zinc-ferrites in steel mill dust was addressed by testing different reducing agents, although a satisfying solution is still to be found. From the experience gained on the pilot plant installed in South Africa, it was possible to notice that the presence of calcium in solution is harmful for the plant heat exchangers. It was hypothesized and verified with experimental tests the possibility to keep under control the calcium concentration through the controlled precipitation of calcium sulphate without the addition of further reagents and using the ammonium sulphate that is generated in the scrubber. During the leaching step, chemical species other than zinc are also brought into solution. Final metal at high purity can be obtained only if these species are managed and removed before electrolysis. Examples of these impurities are copper, silver, manganese, lead, and cadmium. Manganese is removed by the addition of permanganate that transforms the dissolved manganese into a filterable manganese dioxide, by a comproportion redox reaction. Other metal species (Cu, Ag, Pb, Cd) are removed exploiting a cementation reaction. The analysis of demanganization reaction was performed by kinetic studies, together with electrochemical and chimico-physical experiments. A connection between the redox potential and the Mn(II) concentration was pointed out, and a mathematical function correlating the redox set-point and the plant solution pH was derived. This equation is able to control the on-field equipment to optimize the reagent consumption. At the same time, separation of the solid manganese oxide product was improved by exploring techniques alternative to simple filtering, as: i) flocculating agents, and ii) the most promising centrifugal solid-liquid separation. Cementation of copper, silver, cadmium, and lead by addition of metallic zinc powder has a considerable impact on the cost of refined zinc. Therefore, alternative methods to perform this purification were evaluated. A first study involved the testing of a rotary reactor loaded with metallic zinc pellets. A refresh of the zinc active surface, covered by the reaction products, is achieved by mixing and friction between the zinc pellets. A consequent increase in reaction yield was proved by investigating the influence of solution flow rate, rotation speed, and Zinc load. In addition, the necessary zinc for the cementation reaction can be self-produced by simple treatments of the electrolyzed zinc metal. A second alternative to zinc metal powder is the use of an electrodepuration cell. By polarising the cathodes of the cell to a certain potential it is possible to selectively reduce various interfering cations without the use of chemical reagents. Initially the reduction potentials of the interferents were determined and then different lab-scale cell configurations were realized and tested. The potentialities of this technique were confirmed. However, optimization of the cell design is still an open question. The electrolysis cell is the final step of the process. Zinc is reduced to its metallic form using electrical current. A fundamental aspect of this process is represented by the choice of the anodic material. The advantage of using activated titanium electrodes is a reduction in power consumption of about 17%, however, the use of activated titanium requires precise considerations, such as the absence of manganese in the electrolysis solution. The effect of manganese on the stability of these catalytic electrodes was studied and it was concluded that manganese is deleterious to their durability. The metallic zinc deposit of the plant quality was analysed. Several commercial additives were applied to increase the compactness and smoothness of the deposit. The campaign of experiments led to identify as the best additive a mixture of gum arabic, aescine and agar. The development of the technology involved chemical/engineering/industrial challenges with consequent advantages and disadvantages. This doctorate, starting from Engitec previous experience, explored and solved some problems, partly detectable only in a pre-industrial plant such as the one built in South Africa.

With the aim of identifying the challenges and determining the extent of the effect of these challenges on the effectiveness of the performance management systems, the performance management practices of selected public universities in Ethiopia were assessed. This assessment informed the identification of workable, customised balanced scorecard measurement variables that would ensure effective implementation of performance management systems and promote institutional success in the selected public universities in Ethiopia. An exploratory sequential mixed-methods design was adopted. First, literature was reviewed to learn about major concepts and theories on performance management systems and to establish the laws and directives that regulate performance management at public universities in Ethiopia. Qualitative interviews and quantitative questionnaires were used to collect data on the practices and the challenges experienced in implementing performance management systems in public universities in Ethiopia. The main practices and challenges identified include exclusion of employees from planning activities, management bias, supervisors’ failure to give feedback on performance appraisals, lack of experience among many of the professionals in the execution of performance management systems, and high employee turnover. The study presents and recommends a hexagonal hybrid balanced scorecard measurement model (the newly added variables being leadership and stakeholders) to make Ethiopian higher education institutions effective and efficient in measuring their overall performance.

Abstract in English, Zulu and Sotho
The aim of this study is to consider the application of family group conferencing (FGC) as child justice intervention for children in conflict with the law. An exploratory qualitative approach was followed to provide insight into the perceptions of experts with regards to the suitability of FGC for South Africa and for children, as well as the current application of, and potential context and scope for the application of FGC as a South African justice intervention. Semi-structured interviews were used as the data collection tool. Accordingly, experts from diverse disciplines, to wit social work, psychology, criminology, law, and education (and sub-speciality in FGC and restorative justice), were interviewed telephonically, face to face or via video chat. The sample was collected using purposive sampling through perusal of research articles and academic electronic sites, as well as snowball sampling whereby potential participants were identified. The findings show that FGC is an ideal intervention within the South African criminal justice context, and more particularly for child justice. The inclusion of family was noted as specifically important in dealing with children, and within an Afrocentric, Ubuntu-laden, socio-cultural environment. Furthermore, the suitability of FGC to the South African child justice context was linked to victim support and inclusivity, reconciliation aims, cultural flexibility, and ability to support offenders yet hold them accountable without criminalisation. Findings reiterated that FGC is inclusive of support persons, whilst Victim-Offender Mediation (VOM) is not. Resultantly, and with due consideration for the importance of support persons in child related interventions, the necessity of an amendment to the Child Justice Act 75 of 2008 (CJA) - pertaining specifically to VOM - is advocated. Provisions for the implementation of FGC in a child appropriate manner were recommended, namely, adequate preparation; age, needs, and context consideration; maintenance of safety and respect of all parties; and adequate facilitation. The findings regarding the current application of FGC as a child justice intervention in South Africa evinced that it is rarely implemented due to a lack of funding and resources, hesitancy of criminal justice professionals, and a decrease in diversion referrals due to a lack of knowledge and poor performance of the South African Police Services (SAPS). With the aim of extending and promoting FGC, findings noted the necessity for awareness and educational campaigns for both community and criminal justice persons; a multi-dimensional approach whereby various disciplines, societal sectors, government, and civil society work collaboratively; and lastly the importance of the launch of South African Restorative Justice Accreditation Board (SARJAB), an accreditation board for restorative justice practitioners was noted. Recommendations with regards to the findings were made with calls for advocation, action and further research.
Inhloso yalolu cwaningo ukubheka ukusebenza kwenqubo ye-family group conferencing (FGC) njengendlela yokungenelela ukusizana nezingane ezinqubuzana nomthetho. Kulandelwe inqubo ye-exploratory qualitative approach, ukuhlinzeka ngemibono yochwepheshe ngendlela ababona ngayo ukufaneleka kwe-FGC eNingizimu Afrika kanye nezingane, kanye nokusetshenziswa kwale nqubo manje, nokumumethwe yisimo kanye nokwendlaleka kwe-FGC njengenqubo yokusiza kwezomthetho nezinkantolo eNingizimu Afrika. Kusetshenziswe ama-semi-structured interviews njengethuluzi lokuqoqa ulwazi. Ngakho-ke, ochwepheshe bemikhakha ehlukene, efana neye-social work, isayikholoji, i-criminology, umthetho nemfundo (umkhakhana kwi-FGC kanye nenqubo yokulungisa nokubuyisela kahle kwisimo kulabo abonelwe kwezobulungisa, kwenziwe ama-interview ngezingcingo, ukubhekana ubuso nobuso kanye nokwenza izingxoxo ngamavidiyo. Kuqokelelwe isampuli ngokusebenzisa i-purposive (ukufunda ama-atikili ezocwaningo kanye nama-sayiti esiakhademiki ngendlela ye-elektroniki) kanye nokwenza amasampuli ngendlela ye-snowball, lapho khona okwaphawulwa khona ababambi qhaza kucwaningo. Okutholakele kukhombisa ukuthi inqubo ye-FGC yiyo elungile kwinqubo yezomthetho nezinkantolo zobugebengu eNingizimu Afrika, ikakhulukazi lapho kubhekwane nomthetho nezinkantolo nobulungisa maqondana nezingane. Ukubandakanywa komndeni kuqashelwa njengento ebalulekile ekubhekaneni nezingane, kanti futhi kwinqubo ebonelela indlela yobu-Afrika, indlela egxile kubuntu kanye nokubonelela amasiko endabuko yesintu. Kanti futhi okunye, ukufaneleka kwenqubo ye-FGC kwisimo seNingizimu Afrika sokubhekana nenqubo yomthetho yobulungisa maqondana nezingane, kuxhumene nokusekelana nabonelwe zingane ngendlela eyongamelayo, izinhloso zokubuyisana, ukuguquguquka kwezendabuko kanye nekhono lokusekela abonile, kodwa ngendlela yokuqikelela ukuthi izingane zibhekana nezenzo zazo ngaphandle kokuzibona njengezigebengu. Lezi zinto ezitholakele ngocwaningo, ukuthi inqubo ye-FGC ibandakanya ukusekela abantu, kodwa inqubo yokuqikelela ukuthi kube nokubonisana nabonelwe ngenqubo ye-victim-offender mediation (VOM) ayikuboneleli lokhu. Ngenxa yalokhu, kanti futhi ngokubonelela ukubaluleka kokusekela abantu kwinqubo yokungenelela ukusizana nezingane, umcwaningi uphakamisa ukuthi kuchitshiyelwe umthetho wokubhekana nezinkantolo nezingane, umthetho we-Child Justice Act (CJA) 75 ka 2008 – oqondene nenqubo ye-VOM. Kunconywa izindlela zokusebenza nge-FGC ngendlela ebonelela izingane, ngokwenza amalungiselelo afanele; ukubonelela iminyaka yobudala, izidingo kanye nezimo; ukuqikelela ukuphepha kanye nenhlonipho yazo zonke izinhlangothi ezithintekayo, kanye nosizo ngokuxhumanisa. Okutholakele maqondana nokusetshenziswa kwamanje kwenqubo ye-FGC njengendlela yokungenelela ukusizana nezingane kwinqubo yezomthetho nezinkantolo eNingizimu Afrika kuyinqubo engasetshenziswa ngokwanele ngenxa yokusweleka kwezimali neminye imithombo yosizo, ukungabaza kulabo ababhekene nenqubo yezinkantol o nobulungisa; kanye nokuncipha kwenqubo yokubonelela ezinye izindlela ezakhaya ngaphandle kokusebenzisa izinkantolo maqondana nezingane, ngenxa yokusweleka kolwazi, ukungasebenzi ngezinga elifanele kwenqubo yezamaphoyisa aseNingizimu Afrika, abe-South African Police Services (SAPS). Ngenhloso yokunabisa kanye nokuqhubela phambili i-FGC, umcwaningi, uphawula isidingo sokuqwashisa kanye nemikhankaso yemfundo emiphakathini kanye nakubantu abasebenza ezinkantolo ezibhekana nobulungisa; inqubo enezinhlaka ezehlukahlukile, lapho kusetshenziswa khona imikhakha ehlukene, abantu besizwe, uhulumeni, izinhlangano zemiphakathi, ukuthi yonke le mikhakha isebenzisane; kanti okokugcina, ukusungula inhlangano yaseNingizimu Afrika ye-South African Restorative Justice Accredidation Board (SARJAB) ukuze abasebenza ngenqubo yobulungisa nokubuyisela okulungile kulabo abonelwe basebenzise yona.

Digital image editing is rooted in the analog practices of photographic retouching from the late nineteenth century. This study interrogated how novel contributions of new media practice can inform understanding of the relationship between digital and analog media. The study also sought to explore new conceptual avenues in the creation of digital art that incorporates key aspects of both new and traditional media. This study employed a literature review of selected discourses related to new media studies. Specifically, the work of scholars Lev Manovich, Jay David Bolter, Richard Grusin, and Filipe Pais on the interplay between traditional and new media formed the cornerstone of the analysis. These discourses contextualise an analysis of several contemporary case studies of digital artists, with a particular focus on John Craig Freeman and the Oddviz collective. These works were selected for the way in which they destabilise conventional notions of digital photography in new media and the way digital content can be ‘displaced’ into a physical space. From this analysis several concepts arise that serve as distinguishing markers for media displacement. These themes include embodiment, memory, identity formation, autotopography, and intermediality. The dissertation concludes with an overview of my work that incorporates the concepts derived from my analysis of the case studies. It discusses how my exhibition Digital Tourist, a mixed media installation, makes use of photogrammetry and AR to displace the private connections of an individual life into the public space of the gallery.

From this analysis several concepts arise that serve as distinguishing markers for media displacement. These themes include embodiment, memory, identity formation, autotopography and intermediality. Kuphononongwe iingxoxo ezithile ezimalunga nezifundo zemiboniso yale mihla. Kuqwalaselwe ngakumbi imisebenzi yeengcali ooLev Manovich, Jay David Bolter, Richard Grusin kunye noFilipe Pais malunga nonxulumano phakathi kwemiboniso yakudala neyale mihla njengesiseko solu hlalutyo. Ezi ngxoxo zifaka emxholweni uhlalutyo lwezifundo zokuzekelisa zale mihla malunga nabazobi bale mihla, kugxininiswa kwindibanisela ka John Craig Freeman nekaOddviz. Le misebenzi ikhethwe ngenxa yokuba iyazichitha iingcinga eziqhelekileyo malunga nokufota ngedijithali kwimiboniso yale mihla nangendlela iziqulatho zedijithali “zinokushenxiswa” zisiwe kwindawo ebambekayo. Olu hlalutyo luveze iingcinga eziliqela nezisebenza njengeempawu zoshenxiso lwemiboniso. Imixholo iquka imifuziselo, ukukhumbula, ukwenziwa kwesazisi, ukuzazisa ngezinto onazo, unxulumano phakathi kwemiboniso eyahlukeneyo Le ngxelo yophando igqibela ngokushwankathela umsebenzi wam ohlanganisa iingcinga ezivele ekuhlalutyeni kwam izifundo ezingumzekelo. Ingxoxo ibonisa ukuba umboniso wengqokelela yemisebenzi yam owaziwa ngokuba yiDigital Tourist, ubusebenzise njani ubuchwepheshe ekuthiwa yifotogrametri (obokufumana ulwazi ngokuhlalutya imifanekiso) ekushenxiseni unxulumano lwabucala lobomi bomntu ibubeke kwindawo ebonwa nguwonkewonke apho kubukwa imifanekiso neefoto (igalari).

Called Alexandria Troas to distinguish it from other cities named Alexandria, the city is often referred to simply as Troas. (“The Troad” is the name used for the area around the ancient city of Troy.) What was once a large and important city on the western coast of Asia Minor has today been reduced to a few ruins overgrown by trees and shrubs, receiving only a cursory visit from a small number of sightseers. Troas was an important city in antiquity because of its location. Situated on the Aegean coast almost directly opposite the island of Tenedos (modern Bozcaada), the city became a major trading center. To reach the site of ancient Troas, take highway E87/550 to Ezine. In Ezine turn west onto the road marked for Geyikli and Odunluk Iskelesi. In Geyikli turn south toward Odunluk Iskelesi. The ruins of Alexandria Troas are by the highway that continues south to Gülpinar. Troas was founded circa 310 B.C.E. by Antigonus I Monopthalmus (“the One-Eyed”), one of the successors of Alexander the Great. Antigonus created the new city by forcing the residents of several smaller neighboring towns and communities to move to the new location. Antigonus named the new settlement after himself, giving it the name Antigonia. When Antigonus was killed in 301 by the Macedonian king Lysimachus at the battle of Ipsus in Phrygia, Lysimachus took control of the city and renamed it Alexandria in honor of Alexander the Great. Because of its proximity to Troy, the city became known as Alexandria Troas. With its artificial harbor, the city grew as a commercial and transportation center, becoming the leading city of the Troad during Hellenistic times. Eventually Troas developed into one of the most important cities in the Greco-Roman world due to its command of the western entrance to the Hellespont. Claims were made in the ancient world that Julius Caesar considered moving the capital of the empire to Troas, as also reportedly did Augustus (and, even later, Constantine). Whether true or not, that such ideas circulated in the Roman era and were believed by some people indicates the importance of the city.

The first field study in this book describes BME, an online platform for people interested in body modification. I describe the community’s attempts to manage membership by analysing changes to the Terms of Service. I also describe threats to BME’s community in terms of the increasing popularity of body modification as a cultural practice.

eZine and iRadio represent knowledge creation metaphors for scaffolding learning in a blended learning environment. Through independent and collaborative work online participating students experience a simulated virtual publishing space in their classrooms. This chapter is presented as an auto-ethnographic account highlighting the voices of the learning designer and the teacher. Using an iterative research design, evidence is provided for three iterations of each course. A collaborative approach to the development, planning, implementation, and evaluation of two tertiary music elective courses between lecturers, tutors, learning and technological designers is narrated. The student voice is embedded in the methodology, which involved an innovative approach that blends software development and pedagogy in iterations of software and experience design. The chapter describes how the teachers and learning designers translate these data into action and design. A blended learning space was incorporated within each of these elective music courses and the movement between these learning spaces is described and problematized. The research suggests that learning design, which provides real world examples and resources integrating authentic task design, can provide meaningful and engaging experiences for students. The dialogue between learning designers and teachers and iterative review of the learning process and student outcomes has engaged students meaningfully to achieve transferable learning outcomes.

I. Dünya Savaşı sonunda imzalanan Mondros Mütarekesi’ni takip eden günlerde Adana yöresi 1918 yılının Kasım ve Aralık aylarında önce Fransız-İngiliz; daha sonra da Fransız-Ermeni ortak işgaline uğramıştı. Bu dönemde Adana’daki Fransız-Ermeni işbirliği sonucunda Ermeniler, Türk halkına karşı eziyet, işkence ve katliama başlamıştır. Bu durum karşısında Adanalılar, Osmanlı Devleti’nden beklediğini bulamayarak nefs-i müdafaa durumuna geçmiş ve milis kuvvetler oluşturarak direnmeye başlamışlardı. Mustafa Kemal, Türk halkını teşkilatlandırmak amacıyla Anadolu’ya geçmiş ve bir dizi toplantılardan sonra Sivas Kongresi’nde yurdu kurtarabilecek Heyet-i Temsiliye genişletilmişti. Bu arada Adana’dan Sivas’a gelen bir heyet Mustafa Kemal ile görüşmüşler ve Mustafa Kemal’den aldıkları talimatla Kayseri’de “Adana Vilayeti Müdafaa-i Hukuk Cemiyeti”ni kurmuşlardır. Cemiyetin tabelasını da bir otel odasına asmışlardır. Bundan sonra cemiyetin varlığını ve meşruluğunu Kayseri Valiliği’ne de onaylatmışlardı. Böylece Müdafaa-i Hukuk Cemiyeti’nin Adana Heyet-i Merkeziyesi Kayseri’de faaliyete başlamıştı. Kayseri’de faaliyete başlayan Adana Vilayeti Müdafaa-i Hukuk Cemiyeti, aktif olarak daha geniş bir şekilde teşkilatlanmanın yolunu aramıştır. Bu cemiyet Adana yöresinin düşman işgalinden kurtuluşu için Kayseri’deki yetkililer ile istişare ederek Adana’nın hem siyasi, hem de askeri açıdan örgütlenmesi konusunda program ve plan yapmıştır. Atatürk’ün Nutuk’u, TBMM tutanakları, Hatırat, yerel kaynaklar ve Yeni Adana gazetesinden yararlanılarak hazırlanacak olan bu bildiri ile Adana yöresinin Fransız-Ermeni ortak işgalinden kurtuluşunun ilk örgütlenmesinin Kayseri’de gerçekleşmiş olduğu üzerinde durulacaktır.
