The research aims to measure the control procedures' effectiveness, followed by the University of Northern Borders employees. A questionnaire was developed and distributed to the target sample of financial and auditing affairs employees at the university, where the researcher followed the existing descriptive-analytical approach. The researcher relied on the field survey, and statistical analysis (spss) was used. The researcher has found that the control procedures used are highly efficient in reducing public money waste. The researcher has presented recommendations that may contribute to developing the work of oversight in combating waste of public money. These recommendations include: Increase the interaction between the General Oversight Office and the internal oversight departments at the University of Northern Borders, the incentives provided to the oversight and accounting staff for their efforts to combat public money waste. It encourages them to maintain public money and work to obliging employees to undertake training courses periodically to develop their skills and rehabilitate them in line with modern control procedures. Also, more studies and scientific research on the waste of public money and types of administrative and financial Corruption and the law in all state sectors and reach conclusions and recommendations will help decision-makers amend laws and regulations to serve the public benefit of the university and the state.

A heat exchanger (100,000 W) using two-phase loop thermosyphons (TLT) was developed as a waste heat recovery system. An experimental and simulation study was carried out on the heat transfer characteristics of TLT heat exchanger, and the results from the experiments were used to see the possibility which the TLT heat exchanger could be an alternate solution for waste heat recovery system. The experimental results showed the provisional results as a waste heat recovery system. Also computer simulation code can predict the TLT system about the effects of various variables for the operation. Computer simulation results based on the thermal resistance networks were compared with the experimental results. The study clearly shows that the computer simulation for the TLT heat exchanger can Predict the most cases of the affecting parameters involved, provided that correct empirical correlations are used.

The proper management of discarded electronic devices (often called electronic-waste) is an emerging issue for solid waste professionals throughout the world because of the large growth of the waste stream, and the content of toxic metals in them, most notably heavy metals such as lead. Notebook computers are becoming one of the major components of discarded computer devices and will continue to increase in the waste stream in the future. While the computers hold great promise for recycling, a substantial amount of this waste is often disposed in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. The toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) is commonly used to simulate worse case leaching conditions where a potentially hazardous waste is assumed to be disposed along with municipal solid waste in a landfill with actively decomposing materials overlying an aquifer. The objective of this study was to examine leaching potential of lead from discarded notebook computers using the scale-up TCLP, other standard leaching tests such as California waste extraction test (Cal WET), and the synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP) and actual landfill leachates as leaching solution. The scale-up TCLP is a modified TCLP (where the device was disassembled and leached in or near entirety) to meet the intent of the TCLP. The results showed that the scale-up TCLP resulted in relatively high lead found in the leachate with an average of 23.3 mg/L. The average level was less than those by the standard TCLP and WET (37.0 mg/L and 86.0 mg/L, respectively), but much greater than those by the SPLP and the extractions with the landfill leachates (0.55 mg/L and 1.47 mg/L, respectively). The pH of the leaching solution and the ability of the organic acids in the TCLP and WET to complex with the lead were identified as major factors that controlled the amount of lead leached from notebook computers. Based on the results obtained by a number of leaching tests in this study, notebook computers may present a potential leaching risk to the environment and human health upon land disposal. However, further investigation is still needed to assess the true risk posed by the land disposal of discarded notebook computers.

본 논문에서는 매년 증가하고 있는 음식물 쓰레기를 줄일 수 있는 방안으로 IoT 개념을 이용하여 음식물 쓰레기의 양에 따른 부과 요금을 실시간 조회 가능하도록 하여 경각심을 갖도록 유도하는 시스템을 개발하였다. 또한, 편리성을 위해 종량제 카드 대신 스마트폰의 NFC를 활용할 수 있게하고, 쓰레기 분류, 쓰레기 버리는 날 등의 정보를 제공하며, 쓰레기의 양을 줄인 가구에게는 관리 부서 정책에 따라 쿠폰 등을 제공할 수 있는 기능을 통해서도 음식물을 줄일 수 있는 동기를 부여하였다.

Upcycling generally refers to the conversion of waste materials to something useful or valuable and is a useful concept that can be applied not only to the waste design industry but also to waste recycling and resource circulation. Our study highlights upcycling as the key concept for improving the value of waste by redefining the concept as "the recycling of waste materials and discarded products in ways that enhance their value." Four upcycling strategies are linked to material flow analyses conducted on waste electronic and electrical equipment, specifically waste refrigerators and waste computers, to examine the technologies available for implementation and suggest guidelines for the promotion of upcycling. The amount of waste refrigerators collected by the formal sector was 121,642 tons/y and the informal sector, 63,823 tons/y. The current recycling ratio of waste refrigerators was estimated as 88.53%. A total of 7,585 tons/y of waste computers were collected by the formal sector and 3,807 tons/y by the informal sector after discharge. Meanwhile, the current recycling ratio of waste computers was estimated as 77.43%. We found that it is possible to introduce 28 upcycling technologies in the case of refrigerators, and 15 technologies are available to promote upcycling in the case of computers. By refining the broad concept of upcycling and looking at the stages of material flow, our approach presents universally applicable directions for incorporating upcycling in resource recovery and recirculation plans.

A safety assessment computer code CALM (Computer program of Assessment for LILW Management) is developed for the theoretical prediction of long-term safety of low-and intermediate-level radioactive waste disposal. CALM is composed of three submodels, which are the resaturation model, the geosphere migration model, and the radiation dose model. For the verification of its usefulness, the safety assessment of an assumed waste repository is performed. The results show that the computer code, CALM developed through this study can be a useful tool for the safety assessment of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste repository.

Waste body settlement is an important aspect of management of landfill sites both during the operational and the post-closure phases. Settlement in landfill waste is caused by combination of load, creep and biodegradation induced effects. In this paper, settlement characteristics of closed waste landfill were studied by analyzing in situ measured data and computer simulation technique. Techniques for the analysis of load-induced and creep settlement, and for their implementation, can be adapted for landfill waste. The estimate of settlements from models shows a increase according to time.
