THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

2. GLASS
Glass is an inorganic product of fusion that has cooled to a rigid solid
without undergoing crystallization. It may be transparent, translucent
or shiny depending upon the quantities of its basic constituents such as
sand, soda & lime. By varying their quantities & using certain special
additives, the properties and characteristics of glass are modulated to
obtain a large variety.
It is an ancient building material, which facilitated penetration of light
into buildings. Once it was used exclusively for window panes, whereas
nowadays there are examples of structures made of glass only. Apart
from the traditional non-bearing application in engineering, it is
progressively used for construction of bearing elements.The
progressively stricter regulations dealing with energy efficiency of the
buildings gives rise to application of special characteristics glass of high
performance, but also to the more intensive research in this field.The
adequate choice of the glass type can to a great extent improve the
energy efficiency of the building.
Three most attractive traits of glass: the ability to transmit light, block
heat and safety issues

glass with one or more layers of a transparent/
pigmented and specially treated plastic Polyvinyl
Butyral [PVB] sandwiched between the glass layers.
The glass panes (layers) can be either normal glass or
tempered glass.When the glass is broken, fragments
tend to adhere to the plastic [PVB] interlayer thereby
reducing the risk of injury and helping to resist further
damage by weather.

0.95 for 6 mm thick clear monolithic
•Visible light transmittance : 37% for 6mm thick
gray to 87% for 6mm thick clear monolithic.
16. Reflective glass
A metallic coating is applied to one side of the glass in order to significantly
increase the amount of reflection by the glass of both the visible and infra-
red (light and heat) range of the electromagnetic spectrum.This metallic
coating can be applied to clear or body tinted glass.The reflective glass
imparts a mirror like appearance to the exterior of buildings under most
daytime conditions. Due to the coating of metal oxides on the glass, they
are widely applied as an aesthetic product in buildings for its highly
reflective surface and its wide palette of colours. It reduces heat gain and
glare from the exterior and allows optimum visible light transmission to the
interior. It significantly reduces the air- conditioning load of the buildings.An
exceptional property of solar reflective glass is that the coating of metal
oxides on the glass can be achieved without affecting the transparency of
the glass.
Properties :The properties of reflective glass are
• Increased aesthetic appeal.
• Gives enormous flexibility in designing the exterior due to availability of
number of colours / shades
• Facilitates energy savings through reduction in interior solar heat gain and
cost reduction in the cost of heating and cooling systems.
17. • Improves occupants comfort as
interior temperature variations are
less and easier to control.
•Varying degrees of light
transmittance and varying
reflectance.

24. Determination of safe
thickness of glass
Once the type of glass to be used is selected, section deals with the determination of
appropriate thickness of glass.The thickness of the glass to be used in window panels
is governed by the following factors:
i. Area to be covered by the window panel.
ii. Support conditions (supported on two sides or four sides).
iii. Aspect ratio of window panel (length / breadth).
iv. Effective wind pressure at the window height
v. Strength/load bearing capacity of glass to be used.
The salient features of the procedure are as follows:
•The maximum area of glass panel is restricted to 15 m2.
•The maximum span of window is restricted to 4 m.
• Aspect ratio of the glass panel should be greater than 1.5. If it is less than 1.5, next higher
available thickness should be selected.
•The factor of safety used is 2.5 considering the variability in strength of glass.
• Applicable to normal, reflective, laminated, tempered and insulating glass.
• Applicable to rectangular panels properly fixed.
25.
26. Safety issues occurring in contemporary glass structure are the result of the lack
of knowledge of glass properties and other materials forming a composition
with it, and designing, production or construction flaws. It is important to
consider them so that they could be avoided.The basic measures taken to
protect the glass structures are:
• Application of chemically tempered glass with the polycarbonate core,
allowing additional safety and durability
•Application of multi-layered glass, with at least one layer of semi-tempered
glass, which will prevent the unwanted displacement of glass panel in case of
breakage
•In case of point supported glass façades, prevention of failure chain reaction by
independent support of glass panels in vertical rows, with regular distribution of
stress in case of breakage of some of the panels, transferring the load
horizontally to adjacent panels
• In case of point supported glass facades, if possible, provide a central
suspension point for the topmost panel in a row, providing an absolutely vertical
position
• In case of multi-layered glass, it is good practice to use one additional layer on
the glass than what is required by the static design.
