Sociopreneurship

This chapter introduces social entrepreneurship plans aimed at establishing an entrepreneurial ecosystem in academia. The program makes use of the university's literacy technology and academic assistance. This program is designed for lecturers and higher education students to help MSMEs. Ecological entrepreneurship can be formed through design activities. Through appropriate teaching design and activity duration, activity mechanism, and recognition of students' academic performance and course conversion, the plan has achieved high success on the basis of implementation, and the results can be seen from the output of the output form. The plan also implemented a quality assurance system aimed at achieving student standard achievement (SSA). In addition, supporting organizations outside academia also ensure that the social entrepreneurship technology literacy program for small, medium, and micro enterprises can truly establish an entrepreneurial ecosystem in academia.

Elucidating the activity, mechanism and application of selective electrosynthesis of ammonia from nitrate on cobalt phosphide

Electrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia (nitrate reduction reaction, NO3-RR) under ambient conditions, which overcomes the drawbacks of energy-intensive Haber−Bosch reaction and low-efficient N2 electroreduction, is one of the alternatives...

Actualization of gifted schoolchildren’s intentional experience in the process of mastering geometric concepts: from support to activity mechanism

People’s intellectual abilities become a powerful civilization resource. Therefore, intellectually gifted schoolchildren’s development should be the focus of the state educational policy. Russian opinion leaders interpret the phenomenon of giftedness as a systemic quality that describes the child’s psyche as a whole. Such an approach turns into a priority to update and enrich the gifted schoolchildren’s intentional experience during geometry teaching. It assumes the development of a particular subjective state of orientation and selectivity of individual cognitive activity in preferences. This unique state becomes a mental activity mechanism, not just an accessory. The statistical data analysis confirms the hypothesis: the efficiency of actualizing gifted schoolchildren’s intentional experience in the form of their individual dispositions, beliefs, and emotional assessments while solving geometric problems during academic competitions is provided by specifically organized educational activities. It positively correlates with the level of mental activity development during mastering the activity methods with geometric concepts.

An Overview of Biodiesel Production via Calcium Oxide Based Catalysts: Current State and Perspective

Biodiesel is a clean, renewable, liquid fuel that can be used in existing diesel engines without modification as pure or blend. Transesterification (the primary process for biodiesel generation) via heterogeneous catalysis using low-cost waste feedstocks for catalyst synthesis improves the economics of biodiesel production. Heterogeneous catalysts are preferred for the industrial generation of biodiesel due to their robustness and low costs due to the easy separation and relatively higher reusability. Calcium oxides found in abundance in nature, e.g., in seashells and eggshells, are promising candidates for the synthesis of heterogeneous catalysts. However, process improvements are required to design productive calcium oxide-based catalysts at an industrial scale. The current work presents an overview of the biodiesel production advancements using calcium oxide-based catalysts (e.g., pure, supported, and mixed with metal oxides). The review discusses different factors involved in the synthesis of calcium oxide-based catalysts, and the effect of reaction parameters on the biodiesel yield of calcium oxide-based catalysis are studied. Further, the common reactor designs used for the heterogeneous catalysis using calcium oxide-based catalysts are explained. Moreover, the catalytic activity mechanism, challenges and prospects of the application of calcium oxide-based catalysts in biodiesel generation are discussed. The study of calcium oxide-based catalyst should continue to be evaluated for the potential of their application in the commercial sector as they remain the pivotal goal of these studies.
