“…The findings of the study are in line with previous studies (A. Bans-Akutey & B. Tiimub, 2021;Darling & Nurmi, 1995;Kirkpatick & Locke, 1991;Tiimub et al, 2020;Wing, 1988;Zhu, Chew, & Spangler, 2005) who found that the role of e-leadership in technological advancement cannot be overemphasized. While employees adapt to rapid technological change, managers have a critical role to play.…”

“…Telecommunication companies, like any other organization, are also faced with the fact that technological advancements are happening rapidly and also affecting how managers in that industry interact with their subordinates. Several studies have examined the effect of leadership on an organization (Darling & Nurmi, 1995;Kirkpatick & Locke, 1991;Mousavi, 2009;Saha, Gregar, & Saha, 2017;Tiimub et al, 2020;Wing, 1988). However, very few studies have been carried out in relation to the role of e-leadership in adapting to technological development.…”

Purpose: The study examined the role of e-leadership in adapting to technological development. Research methodology: A mixed methods triangulation approach was used for the study. Quantitative data was collected from 297 customers and 146 employees of telecommunication companies in Ghana using a questionnaire. For qualitative data, 12 respondents were interviewed. Quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive statistics for IBM SPSS Statistics 24. Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis. Results: It was found that e-leadership discourages face-to-face interactions. Leaders tend to employ the use of social media when communicating with team members during rapid technological development. Virtual teams are employed while completing projects. Managers show empathy, provide effective supervision and are always available online to assist virtual team members who happen to encounter challenges, in a timely manner. Limitations: This study was limited to employees and customers of telecommunication companies in Ghana. Contribution: This research has exposed that E-leadership positively affects the productivity of virtual team members, who tend to face challenges during technological advancement. This implies that with e-leadership, the level of difficulty faced while adapting to rapid technological development is significantly reduced. Novelty: There is a need for managers to be consistent with the application of the e-leadership concept no matter how sophisticated technology gets. It is therefore recommended that managers continue with the use of e-leadership while providing guidance for challenged virtual team members.

“…Of these sources, industrial effluents emerge as the most significant contributors to the contamination of surface and groundwater. This phenomenon is exacerbated by the rapid process of globalization and urbanization, which fuels the demand for products manufactured using dyes and heavy metals [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Notably, heavy metals like copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) are commonly found in the wastewater of industries situated in smelting, electrical, and mining areas [12][13][14].…”

A remodeling analysis was conducted on the sorption isotherm data for Congo Red adsorption onto kaolin using nonlinear regression. (CR) also known as 1-naphthalenesulfonic acid, 3,3′-(4,4′-biphenylenebis(azo)) bis(4-amino-) disodium salt, is a synthetic anionic azo dye widely utilized in various industrial sectors, including rubber, plastic, textiles, paper, and printing. This dye is of significant interest due to its versatile applications and unique chemical properties. To prevent overfitting due to the limited data points, isotherm models with up to three parameters were utilized. Statistical analysis based on error function assessments, including root-mean-square error (RMSE), adjusted coefficient of determination (adjR2), accuracy factor (AF), bias factor (BF), Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), corrected AICc (Akaike Information Criterion), and Hannan-Quinn Criterion (HQC), revealed that the best performance was achieved by the Freundlich model, followed by the Langmuir and Jovanovic models, which ranked as the top three models.The best isotherm model was found to be the Unilan followed by (descending order) Brouers–Sotolongo, Hill, Sips and Langmuir. The Unilan maximum adsorption capacity, shows large deviation from the experimentally observed value with a large 95% confidence interval, indicating poor fitting parameters despite being the best model based on the error function analysis. The next best model was Brouers–Sotolongo with a maximum adsorption capacity, qmBS of 5.48 mg g-1 (95% confidence interval from 4.791 to 6.172) which agrees with experimental observations. The value of the maximum monolayer adsorption capacity for Congo Red binding to kaolin according to the Langmuir’s parameter qmL was 5.49 mg g-1 (95% Confidence interval from 5.018 to 5.967), while bL (L mg-1), the Langmuir model constants was 0.5 L mg-1 (95% C.I. from 0.285 to 0.710).
