With the theme Curriculum and Instructional Design for Sustainable Development, APCCSID 2021 aims at discussing the roles and impact of education towards achieving UNESCO Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), counting inclusive education, values education, education for Sustainable Consumption and Production (ESCP), and global citizenship among many other as the critical enabler of all the other SDGs. The International Conference will provide opportunities for collaboration of knowledge and experience across regions among academic scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in international settings while providing a platform for discussion and possible cooperation on curriculum studies and instructional designing at both lower and higher levels of educational institutions in Malaysia and regionally. By bringing 25 keynote speakers and plenary speakers, and 12 forum panellists from across continents home in Malaysia, SEGi hopes to provide a rare opportunity for more Malaysians to raise their awareness in sustainability thinking as global citizens. SEGi hopes to be leading the way in ensuring education towards sustainable development pertinent to the survival of humanity. “While sustainable thinking concerns the mindset of consistently maintaining and improving our well-being as a society, it also reveals that we do not inherit the world from our ancestors but borrow it from the next generation. Similarly, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a realisation that the current curriculum is not only for the current generation but also for the future generation,” said Datin Dr Ng Soo Boon, the Organising Chairperson of APCCSID 2021. For the curriculum to be implemented well, teacher training is essential, and ongoing research is necessary. SEGi University Faculty of Education, Languages and Psychology can spearhead the Malaysian and regional education fraternity towards education for sustainable development through the teacher education programme both at undergraduate and postgraduate level. As the world begins to address the unprecedented crises and disasters following the ‘Code Red for Humanity’ as reported by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), SEGi University as the main organiser of APCCSID 2021, believes that curriculum will set the direction for educational transformation worldwide and at all levels of education to integrate one that is more sustainable for generations to come, through environmental realisation. A continuous synergy and concerted effort of APCCSID will be needed to smaller the gap between theory and practice. In raising awareness among global citizens on the importance of sustainability thinking, APCSSID 2021 will help develop and implement a mission-driven curriculum. It emphasises the identification and adherence to sound and sustainable philosophy and principles in learning that could lead to students’ thinking and problem-solving skills in general. http://mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=40793 KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 -- Delphix, the industry leading data company for DevOps, has announced it would increase its corporate commitment to environmental sustainability.

A joint Tsinghua-Liverpool research team has recently developed a new charge storage mechanism that allows rechargeability within calcium-air batteries - a major step forward in battery technology. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210816005031/en/ This discovery has been published in Chemical Science. The lead author of the paper, Yi-Ting Lu, is a joint doctoral student at Tsinghua and Liverpool, whose supervisors are Prof. Chi-Chang Hu (Department of Chemical Engineering, NTHU) and Prof. Laurence Hardwick (Department of Chemistry, UoL). A major breakthrough related to Ca-air batteries Prof. Hu said conventional lithium-ion batteries have a limited practical capacity. Thereby many researchers are working on developing alternative battery technologies. Their focus is on metal-air batteries based on zinc, lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and aluminum. The advantage of the calcium-air battery is its high specific energy—five times that of traditional lithium-ion batteries. However, the feasibility of calcium-air batteries remains hampered by one major drawback—it cannot be recharged. Lu explained that metal-air batteries are electrochemical cells usually using an active metal as the negative electrode, and a porous carbon material in contact with the air as the positive electrode. When the metal oxidized the oxygen at the positive electrode is reduced, generating electric current. After completing his first year of doctoral studies at NTHU, Lu enrolled at the Stephenson Institute for Renewable Energy at UoL in September 2018. Under the supervision of Prof. Hardwick, he began doing research on the electrolyte used in calcium-air batteries. Lu found when a single electrode is repeatedly charged and discharged, initially no reversibility can be observed, but after a few dozen cycles it gradually displays some reversibility. Surprisingly, the result seemed completely different from those in literature. The research team conducted a series of experiments aimed at uncovering the mechanism behind this phenomenon. On the electrode surface, the discharge products form a calcium oxide (CaxOy) interlayer, where the discharge product of oxygen, known as superoxide, is confined, allowing the superoxide to be then readily oxidized. This suggests the oxygen could probably be repeatedly oxidized/reduced, so that the cell can be continuously discharged/recharged. Dr. Alex Neale, a Liverpool postdoctoral researcher, who is also part of the research team, said that through systematic electrochemical and spectroscopy investigations, the team began to understand the origins of this charge storage mechanism that facilitates a previously unseen degree of reversibility for systems based on the calcium-air battery. Prof. Hardwick said the team will focus on designing new battery systems that use this newly discovered charge storage mechanism. He added that it was the cooperative research that made their discovery possible, and there are plans for even closer cooperation between NTHU and UoL in the future.
