Investigating links between teacher leadership, collective efficacy and teacher commitment in Egyptian schools: a mediated-effects analysis

PurposeResearch investigating the impact of school leadership on teachers’ emotions and practices has mostly focused on the leadership behaviors of school principals, thus ignoring the potential leadership qualities of other school members, especially teachers. The current study aimed to bridge this gap by providing further insight into the link between teacher leadership and teacher outcomes in Egyptian schools. Specifically, the study examined the mediating role of collective teacher efficacy in the relationship between teacher leadership and teacher commitment.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed structural equation modeling and bootstrapping to analyze survey data collected from 497 teachers in primary and middle schools in Damietta city, Egypt.FindingsThe results supported our proposition that teachers’ leadership practices have more indirect than direct effects on teacher commitment through collective teacher efficacy. That is, teacher leadership practices positively affect teachers’ efficacy beliefs, which, in turn, increase their sense of commitment to school.Originality/valueThe study adds a new aspect to the literature by investigating the potential role of teacher leadership in promoting positive teacher attitudes that can have a positive impact on student learning. This is significant given the growing emphasis that educational systems place on enhancing school effectiveness. Specifically, understanding the factors that contribute to teacher commitment can inform strategies for retaining effective teachers and improving the overall quality of the teaching workforce. Additionally, since most of the empirical research on teacher leadership has been produced in Western contexts, it is important to enrich the field with studies conducted in other societies, especially in the Arab region.

Utilization of Ionic Organic Polymer to Improve Performance and Properties of Problematic Soils

Problematic soils with high compressibility and low shear strength are often treated with traditional chemical stabilizing additives such as cement and lime to improve their engineering properties. Polymers were employed to improve and reinforce a variety of material qualities in a wide range of applications. The use of polymer SBS (stabilizer base stabilizer) to improve the characteristics of problematic soils is discussed in this research. Two types of soils were used. The first type, "soil A Burj," is collapsible soil and was collected from Burj El-Arab city, while the second type, "soil B Dam," is fine sand and was obtained from Damietta city. The untreated and treated samples were subjected to sieve analysis, hydrometer, liquid limits, standard compaction, collapse potential (CP), direct shear, California Bearing Ratio (CBR) testing, and SEM, TEM, chemical, and microstructural analysis tests. Three different polymer SBS concentrations in water were used (1:300, 1:150, and 1:10). The results showed that by adding the polymer SBS, LL and OWC decreased exhibiting more plastic behavior compared to the non-treated samples. Also, the CP decreased with adding the polymer SBS, and the degree of collapsibility was enhanced from trouble to moderate trouble condition. The shear strength, internal friction angle, and CBR value were also improved. In summary, the best results were produced when a polymer ratio of 1:150 was used and a curing time of at least 28 days was provided. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-12-05 Full Text: PDF

Improving Nurses' Knowledge, Practice, and Self-Efficacy Regarding Caring Patients with Tuberculosis: A Quasi-Experimental Design.

Tuberculosis (TB) control depends on healthcare professionals 'knowledge, practice, and self-efficacy when managing high-risk groups. So the study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured educational program in improving nurses' knowledge, practice, and self-efficacy in caring for patients with TB. A pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design was conducted on 36 nurses at Chest hospital Al Masah al Bahri in port said city and the Chest Hospital in Damietta City, Egypt. Data were collected using three self-administered questionnaires to assess knowledge, practice, and self-efficacy by using convenience sampling from March to August 2019. Data analyses were done by using a paired t-test, a Student t-test, and an F-test analysis of variance. Based on data related to the two groups before and after the study in knowledge, practice (t = 8.27, p < 0.001), and self-efficacy (t = 28.91, p < 0.001), there was a significant difference between knowledge and overall knowledge scores (t=14, p < 0.001). Mean scores were significantly increased for practice items about the nursing role in medication, directed observed therapy, and the overall practice score; and for self-efficacy, which increased from 27.58 to 37.86 (p = <0.001). The results indicate that nurses' knowledge, practice, and self-efficacy were enhanced by the implementation of the educational program. There is scope for development in knowledge, practice, and self-efficacy using the educational program among nurses. Training programs must be implemented in quality control to aid nurses in realizing the significance of information in reducing disease and death and enhancing the quality of care.

Groundwater quality assessment along the West of New Damietta Coastal City of Egypt using an integrated geophysical and hydrochemical approaches

Recently, the groundwater became very important source for the Egyptian water balance. Therefore, assessing its quality and quantity is necessary before initiating any developmental plans using this resource. In this research, a new operated power plant, which is located in the coastal area of West New Damietta City, north-east of Egypt was designed to work using the coastal groundwater aquifer. Therefore, an integrated approaches of both geophysical methods and hydrochemical analysis were applied to identify the subsurface lithology, the water-bearing layers and determine the potential use of such coastal groundwater. Therefore, a total of seventeen vertical electrical soundings (VES) and five time-domain electromagnetic soundings (TEM) were performed. Moreover, groundwater samples were collected from seven existing wells to be analyzed for water quality assessment. The geophysical results identified five geoelectric layers. The first geoelectric layer has a resistivity of 1–7.9 Ω m and a thickness range of 7–9 m. The second layer has a resistivity of 0.9–4.4 Ω m and a thickness range of 7–8 m. The third layer is 10–21 m thick with a resistivity value of 0.5–2 Ω m. The fourth layer, which is thicker (29 to 42 m), has a resistivity of 0.7–3 Ω m, while the last layer has a resistivity of 1.7–9 Ω m. According to the hydrochemical analysis, the aquifer is dominated by Na–Cl water type. The brackish nature of the water is revealed by the TDS range of 7035 mg/l to 7735 mg/l. The results collected demonstrate the groundwater's quantity and quality availability for the power plant’s sustainable use.

The Resilience Performance Index, a Fuzzy Logic Approach to Assess Urban Resilience

Urban resilience is recently a prominent issue due to rapid urbanization and increasing challenges and stressors affecting cities. Assessment of urban resilience is an essential step in enhancing resilience performance since regular assessment informs resilience action plans, determines areas of deficiencies, and provides spatial and temporal comparisons. However, resilience assessment is a complex process that requires intensive data and resources due to the multi-dimensional and dynamic nature of resilience, and the imprecision of resilience data. In this context, the research aims to develop The Resilience Performance Index (RPI), through setting a conceptual framework, defining relevant resilience indicators, and finally modelling resilience performance using The Fuzzy Logic Approach, aiming to combine resilience analysis with artificial intelligence (AI) tools and dynamic modelling methods. The RPI assesses both qualitative and quantitative resilience indicators obtained through records, census data or structured questionnaires. Indicators’ values are modelled through a designed fuzzy logic system to obtain the resilience performance score. The developed index is applied on New Damietta city to inform resilience action plans in the Nile Delta region. The RPI addresses the complexity of resilience assessment and ambiguity of resilience data through an easy applicable, user friendly approach without the need for complex mathematical and statistical methods.

A Proposed Methodology for Detecting the Urban Footprint in Egypt

The detection of informal built-up environments that sprawl on agricultural land is difficult to codify specially in particular with the increase in the population in the Arab Republic of Egypt. In 2017, a law was passed to remove building infractions in rural areas according to aerial photographs taken by the military and the building codes built after the 2019 Construction Violations Reconciliation Law (CVRL) were regulated, which mandates the demolition of any buildings built without a permit that are capped at 8.2 million units Since 2007. The use of remote sensing, which is a powerful technology that relies specifically on updated satellite images, is a key tool for detecting infringements built-up regions. The European Space Agency’s Sentinel Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) constellation is a key component of this research because of its advantages that allow for improved spatial resolution and atmospheric independence, and it takes day and night images, making it useful for a wide range of ground cover detection applications., a technological advantage that surpasses Optical sensors for the Sentinel 2 and Landsat missions that rely on clear weather conditions. The study aims to evaluate the use of radar satellites compared to optical satellites to detect urban built-up areas and encroachments on agricultural areas. The study was conducted on an area of 64 square kilometres, in Damietta City, East Delta, Egypt. Supervised classification was also used to derive the overall accuracy of radar satellite images and compare them with optical satellite images, using Error Matrix tables on Scup + QGIS programs. The results of the study resulted in reaching a high accuracy of land cover classification from the process of combining the Sentinel-1A,1B images in Maximum likelihood (ML) algorithms compared to Sentinel-2 images, reaching up to an overall accuracy (OA) of 80%, while the classification in Random Forest (RF) algorithms reached an overall accuracy (OA) of 87%. This paper recommends using the method of merging (SAR) Sentinel 1A,1B images and applying it, as well as conducting periodic monitoring of urban expansions using remote sensing techniques, to make sustainable decisions for the future of urban expansion master plans in the region and to quickly explore informal built-up encroachments.

EXTRACELLULAR BIOSYNTHESIS, OPTIMIZATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND ANTIMICROBIAL POTENTIAL OF ESCHERICHIA COLI D8 SILVER NANOPARTICLES

This study highlights the optimization of extracellular biosynthesis and antimicrobial efficiency of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the crude metabolite of Escherichia coli D8 (MF06257) strain. The bacterial strain had been isolated from a sewage water stream located in Damietta City, Egypt. The optimum conditions for AgNPs production were at temperature 35°C, pH 7 and 1.5mM silver nitrate. The AgNPs biosynthesis was detected in culture filtrate within 1-2 minutes at room temperature (25±2°C) and sunlight. The characterization of AgNPs was studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy (maximum absorbance at 429 nm), X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern (crystal planes were 110, 111, 200, 211, 220, and 311), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (AgNPs were spherical in shape ranging from 6 to 17 nm), Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy (the bands of symmetric and asymmetric amines were assigned at 3421.1 and 2962.13 cm-1, the stretching vibration band of aromatic and aliphatic (C-N) exist at 1392.35 and 1122.37 cm-1 bands), Zeta potential analyser (AgNPs had a negative charge value; -33.6 mV) and size distribution by volume (the presence of capping agent enveloping the AgNPs with a mean size of 136.0-294.3 nm). Nitrate reductase (NR) was assayed as an important partner in the optimized production (the rate of NR reached to 2.18 U/ml). The study demonstrated that AgNPs are potent inhibitors of Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Alternaria alternata, Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus flavus. The antimicrobial activity of AgNPs was studied by TEM. TEM micrographs showed an inhibition of S. aureus cell multiplication. In case of F. oxysporum, a reduction in the size of treated cells, formation of a mucilage matrix connecting the hyphal cells together, the appearance of a big vacuole, lipid droplets an a severe leakage of cytoplasmic contents were detected. AgNPs exhibited MIC values of 6.25μg/ml and 50 μg/ml against S. aureus and Candida albicans, respectively. In addition, AgNPs showed synergy effects by their combination with fluconazole that increased fold areas especially against A. niger, A. flavus and F. oxysporum.
