“…This study has contributed to the understanding that the use of polyethylene ground plastic waste in the standard concrete mixture provides some advantages like on reduction of plastic wastes, prevention of environmental pollution, and energy saving. As part of the continued growth of the Philippines (Treceñe, 2021), this will help the country in the fight against plastic wastes.…”

In recent times, the production of polyethylene ground plastics has increased markedly in the Philippines. However, current levels of their usage and disposal generate several environmental problems. Recycling is one of the most important actions that are being made to reduce these impacts. The present study used polyethylene ground plastic wastes to investigate their possible use as plastic aggregate in concrete application. The shredded plastic wastes were used in concrete with partial replacement of ½ kg and 1kg by volume of conventional coarse aggregate. Three types of concrete specimens including one without plastic aggregate were used in the study for comparison. All the concrete specimens were tested for their different mechanical properties after a curing period of 28 days. Various physical properties of all aggregates and fresh concrete properties were also tested in the laboratory, these include pound per square inch (psi), Mega Pascal (MPa), Kilo Newton (KN), and the type of fracture. The test for psi, MPa, and kN resulted that concrete mixtures with 1kg ground plastic produced the best result among the three samples having 3150 Psi, 21.7 MPa, and 395.7 KN, respectively. Moreover, the specimens were loaded under a monotonic uniaxial compressive load up to failure by using MATEST hydraulic testing machine with the indicator of kN. The result showed that both standard mixtures of concrete and the standard mixture of concrete with ½ kg polyethylene ground plastic have a comparison infraction that has a result of an SW-Shear Wedge of Type 5, while the standard mixture of concrete with 1kg polyethylene ground plastic has a conical type of a fracture. Based on the several tests conducted, it is concluded that the standard concrete mixture with 1kg polyethylene ground plastic provided the best result compared to other specimens. Furthermore, the use of polyethylene ground plastic waste in the standard concrete mixture provides some advantages like on reduction of plastic wastes, prevention of environmental pollution, and energy saving.

Higher education, ICTs and inclusion: Assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and government-imposed lockdowns, higher education institutions across the globe have had to change the way in which education is provided to millions of students. At the same time, concerns have been expressed that the pandemic may well deepen systemic socioeconomic vulnerabilities and societal divides, including in higher education. In this paper we examine the extant literature to better understand the relationship between the wholesale shift to online teaching and learning in the early stage of the pandemic, the reliance on digital technologies, and the outcomes of these changes of the inclusion of marginalized students in the provision of higher education. The cases of the Philippines and South Africa are selected, and show that despite (1) attempts to ameliorate the disruptions of the pandemic by bolstering access to digital devices and the internet among marginalized students, and (2) implementing remote, distance learning and teaching, the provision of digital educational technologies did not live up to their expected democratization of access and educational attainment.

“…Digital government represents the transformation of the public sector into the next phase of public management and delivery of Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-based services [32]. The implementation of a digital government is planned to offer more integrated and innovative services to the citizens [34,35]. Digital government initiatives focus not only on the transformation internally but also on the government and citizens relationship, including communication channels in the interaction with the government [36].…”

Legacy Systems Modernisation for Citizen-Centric Digital Government: A Conceptual Model

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Information technology and communication (ICT) plays an important role as a catalyst for organisational development and innovation. However, old information systems that are known as legacy systems often expose organisations to the risk of business failure. These systems are not only impeding the advancement in technology strategy but also hindering the organisations’ business competitiveness. Nevertheless, legacy systems are essential in supporting critical functions in organisations including the public sector and could not be scrapped easily. These systems need to be given a new strength through modernisation to continue providing the best service in line with global trends. Modernisation is a complex task that involves several related aspects. In the context of the public sector, legacy systems involve a complicated information relationship, environment, and culture, while ensuring the citizens are of high priority. The implementation of a digital government represents the transformation of the public service delivery to the citizens that emphasises a citizen-centric design. This study, therefore, aims to address this concern by reviewing the factors involved and suggesting a guideline in the form of a conceptual model to assist in the modernisation of legacy systems for a citizen-centric digital government. Data from the theoretical study were analysed using content analysis. The results show that the legacy systems’ modernisation comprised four main aspects, namely human, process, product, and organisation aspects, with related factors and elements. This model contributes as a reference for the public sector and provides overall guidance in performing legacy systems modernisation.
