Trends in the use of flipped classroom model and its effectiveness in higher learning education: A systematic review

A flipped classroom is an e-learning model that blends traditional face-to-face teaching and online teaching. It is gaining popularity in nowadays education systems. This review aimed to evaluate the research trends in the usage of flipped classrooms in higher learning education. During the review, sources were retrieved from various databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, and ERIC to name a few. Using systematic search and selection methods to answer the proposed research questions regarding the types of methodological approaches that have been regularly used in the flipped classroom research; subjects of flipped classroom teaching practices have been widely researched; kind of technological platforms have been used in flipped classroom research; the outcomes of flipped learning research and the challenges encountered in flipped classroom implementation. The analysis showed that the quantitative methods are the most used while education is the subject most reported in flipped classroom research. Learning management systems are the most technological platforms that have been used in flipped classroom research. Academic achievement is the major learning outcome reported in the analysed flipped classroom research. The reluctance of instructors and students to adapt to new roles is among the challenges reported in the analysed reports. Overall flipped classroom model has a positive effect on students’ learning outcomes. Therefore it is encouraged to use the flipped classroom model taking into consideration the challenges reported to make it more effective.
Islamic Principles of Self-Leadership

Self-leadership is an alternative to traditional leadership in which individuals can motivate themselves by embracing self-leadership rather than the traditional leading approach of external reinforcement. Internal self-regulation is more conducive to organizational development more than external obligations. Islamic teaching emphasizes internal regulation and accountability. Thus, the study aims to investigate Islamic principles that encourage the implementation of self-leadership. The deductive content analysis method was used to investigate and interpret the principles of self-leadership in Islam. The findings demonstrated seven principles for self-leadership intuition, ordering priorities, self-awareness, directing psychological and physical behaviors, expanding knowledge, avoiding overburdening oneself, and purification from corruption. The principles of self-leadership can be obtained and strengthened by practices on an individual level. More practical strategies are needed to assist in applying and practicing each principle of self-leadership

A global estimate of monthly vegetation and soil fractions from spatiotemporally adaptive spectral mixture analysis during 2001–2022

Abstract. Multifaceted regime shifts of Earth's surface are ongoing dramatically and – in turn – considerably alter the global carbon budget, energy balance and biogeochemical cycles. Sustainably managing terrestrial ecosystems necessitates a deeper comprehension of the diverse and dynamic nature of multicomponent information within these environments. However, comprehensive records of global-scale fractional vegetation and soil information that encompass these structural and functional complexities remain limited. Here, we provide a globally comprehensive record of monthly vegetation and soil fractions during the period 2001–2022 using a spatiotemporally adaptive spectral mixture analysis framework. This product is designed to continuously represent Earth's terrestrial surface as a percentage of five physically meaningful vegetation and soil endmembers, including photosynthetic vegetation (PV), nonphotosynthetic vegetation (NPV), bare soil (BS), ice or snow (IS) and dark surface (DA), with high accuracy and low uncertainty compared to the previous vegetation index and vegetation continuous-field product as well as traditional fully constrained linear spectral mixture models. We also adopt nonparametric seasonal Mann–Kendall tested fractional dynamics to identify shifts based on interactive changes in these fractions. Our results – superior to previous portrayals of the greening planet – not only report a +9.35 × 105 km2 change in photosynthetic vegetation, but also explore decreases in nonphotosynthetic vegetation (−2.19 × 105 km2), bare soil (−5.14 × 105 km2) and dark surfaces (−2.27 × 105 km2). In addition, interactive changes in these fractions yield multifaceted regime shifts with important implications, such as a simultaneous increase in PV and NPV in central and southwestern China during afforestation activities, an increase in PV in cropland of China and India due to intensive agricultural development, a decrease in PV and an increase in BS in tropical zones resulting from deforestation. These advantages emphasize that our dataset provides locally relevant information on multifaceted regime shifts at the required scale, enabling scalable modeling and effective governance of future terrestrial ecosystems. The data about five fractional surface vegetation and soil components are available in the Science Data Bank (https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.13287, Sun and Sun, 2023).
Influence of Information and Communication Technology on Modern-day Secretaries in Tertiary Institutions

: This study investigated the influence of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on modern-day secretaries at Ekiti State University (Ado-Ekiti) and College of Education (Ikere-Ekiti). It was observed that most secretaries have been displaced from their jobs due to the advent of Technology. Some did not wholeheartedly welcome the new emergent technology and saw it as a disruption. Therefore, this study seeks to bring to the fore the importance of information communication technology in advancing the work of secretaries. A descriptive survey research method was used in this study. The population of the study consisted of 70 secretaries from the two institutions. A self-designed questionnaire, which was validated with the test-retest method, was used as the study instrument with an overall reliability test of Cronbach's alpha of 0.95. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of the study showed that ICTs had a significant influence on modern-day secretaries in the two institutions, as they were able to utilize various technologies such as emails, data storage systems, and social media in their daily work activities. It was recommended that secretaries in the two institutions should be provided with adequate training to enable them to take full advantage of the benefits of ICTs. Furthermore, it was recommended that ICTs should be used more effectively and efficiently to improve the quality of services offered by secretaries.

IMAGE ANALYSIS AND COMPOSITION OF PLATINUM-GROUP MINERALS IN THE J-M REEF, STILLWATER COMPLEX

Detailed imaging, bulk geochemical analyses, and laser ablation ICP-MS analyses were conducted on mineralized samples from the platinum-group element (PGE)-bearing J-M reef, Stillwater Complex (Montana). The aims of the study were to determine which phases are the main hosts of the PGE, to examine the textural relationships of the PGE-bearing minerals, and the associated base metal sulfides, silicates, and secondary magnetites. The platinum-group minerals (PGM) observed in the studied samples consist of Pd+ or -Pt sulfides, Pt-Fe alloy (isoferroplatinum), Pd+ or -Pt tellurides, and Pd-Cu alloy (skaergaardite) with minor native Pd, [Ru(Ir, Os)S (sub 2) ] (laurite), and Au-Pd-Ag alloy (palladian electrum). These minerals account for all the Pt, half the Pd, Ru, and Ir, and a smaller proportion of the Os in whole rocks (the balance being found in the base metal sulfide). Most of these PGM are closely associated with base metal sulfides, either included in the base metal sulfide or located at the contact between the base metal sulfide and the silicate or oxide minerals. The textures of the PGM within and at the margins of the base metal sulfide suggest that they exsolved from the sulfides. We suggest that the PGE, Ni, Cu, and Te partitioned into a magmatic sulfide liquid that crystallized into base metal sulfide. The Pt-Fe alloys and some of the Pd sulfides exsolved from the base metal sulfide during desulfurization at fairly high temperatures. In contrast, the skaergaardite and some Pd sulfides are found in association with secondary magnetite and probably formed at relatively low temperatures (approximately 250 degrees -465 degrees C) during a second fluid migration event. The Pd/Pt ratio of the reef (approximately 3.3) is higher than most mafic magmas and the Pd/Pt ratio of the footwall is lower (0.3-0.7). It is possible that some of the Pd in the reef was leached from the underlying rocks and deposited in the reef as PGM associated with secondary magnetite.

Overcoming the Challenges of Early Infant Diagnosis of HIV in Low-And Middle-Income Settings

: The possibility of an HIV-free generation is authenticated by the many successes recorded in the EID and PMTCT programs globally. And though many children are still being infected with HIV, the Early Infant Diagnosis (EID) of HIV using the highly sensitive DNA PCR technology coupled with the early initiation of ART and co-trimoxazole prophylaxis in HIV-exposed and HIV-infected infants have gone a long way in reducing the global HIV scourge. Many national governments have failed abysmally in effectively coordinating their national HIV programs; and many still depend solely on international donor funding. These failures have led to many gaps, loopholes, and challenges being encountered in the EID-PMTCT programs. This review seeks to proffer the solutions to these all encompassing challenges facing EID of HIV and invariably paving way for the successful implementation of the PMTCT programs in Nigeria.

Effect of Eating Date Fruit on the Progress of Labor for Parturient Women

: Progress of labor may affect the parturient women decision for elective cesarean section. Eating date fruit can hasten labor progress and reduce the rate of cesarean section. Aim: Evaluate the effect of eating date on the progress of labor for parturient women. Methods: A quasi-experimental research design was used. Subjects: A purposive sample of 92 parturient women who admitted to the Obstetrical and Gynecological Department at Mit-Ghamer General Hospital, Mit-Ghamer city, Dakahlia Governorate. The sample divided in to two groups; the control group received normal hospital care and the intervention group received 7 date fruit to eat after admission. Tools of data collection: Three tools were used for data collection; the first was a Structured Interview Schedule to assess the woman's general characteristics; the second was Bishop Score to assess the cervical favorability for vaginal delivery and third tool was the Modified World Health Organization Partogram to assess the progress of labor. Results: The intervention group that ate date fruit exhibit faster labor progress as compared to the control group with statistical significant difference. Conclusion: The study hypothesis was accepted; where eating date fruit has a positive effect on the progress of labor in the intervention group compared to the usual care in the control group.
Outcomes of Three or More Courses of First-line Chemotherapy for Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma

Background/Aim: The current standard of care for first-line treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC) is platinum-based combination chemotherapy. Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors have been reported to be effective for UC. Knowing whether immunotherapy or chemotherapy is suitable as first-line treatment is beneficial for patients. A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical outcomes of Japanese patients who received three or more courses of first-line chemotherapy for metastatic UC to assess the outcome of conventional treatments in real clinical situation. Patients and Methods: Patients who received first-line chemotherapy between August 2009 and December 2019 were included. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed. Results: The median PFS and OS were 7.1 and 27.1 months, respectively, for patients with no disease progression at the end of three courses. Of 28 patients, 25 (89.3%) received second-line drug therapy and 10 (35.7%) received focal therapy for disease control. Patients with focal therapy had significantly longer OS than those without focal therapy (p=0.019, log-rank test). Conclusion: OS of metastatic UC at our Institution is relatively long, suggesting that aggressive second-line drug therapy and focal therapy may have contributed to such result.
Test anxiety, self-efﬁcacy, and gender: A quest for equitable assessment practices in physics

Prior research shows that gender differences in self-efﬁcacy and test anxiety can predict students’ course performance. Although there has been research that uses test anxiety and self-efﬁcacy to predict student grades, no study to our knowledge has investigated this in the context of low-and high-stakes physics assessments. In this work, we used survey data and grade information to compare the predictive power of self-reported self-efﬁcacy and test anxiety on low-stakes (e.g., homework and quizzes) and high-stakes (e.g., traditional exams) assessment scores in a traditionally taught large introductory physics course. We found that there are gender differences in both self-efﬁcacy and test anxiety, as well as in high-stakes assessment outcomes. There were no gender differences in low-stakes assessment scores. Further, we found that models that control for self-efﬁcacy and/or test anxiety eliminate the predictive power of gender for high-stakes assessment scores. Finally, we found that self-efﬁcacy partially mediates the effect of test anxiety on high-stakes assessment outcomes. These trends suggest that teaching methods that alleviate test anxiety have the potential to create a more equitable learning environment.
Clay–Microbe Interactions and Implications for Environmental Mitigation

Clay minerals are ubiquitous in soils, sediments, and sedimentary rocks, and they play important roles in environmental processes. Microbes are also abundant in these geological media, and they interact with clays via a variety of mechanisms, such as reduction and oxidation of structural iron and mineral dissolution and precipitation through the production of siderophores and organic acids. These interactions greatly accelerate clay mineral reaction rates. While it is certain that microbes play important roles in clay mineral transformations, quantitative assessment of these roles is limited. This paper reviews some active areas of research on clay–microbe interactions and provides perspectives for future work.
MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZA TION OF NAGALAND LOCAL PIG (SUWO) USING MICRO SATELLITE MARKERS

A set of 22 microsatellite markers recommended by Food and Agricultural Organization of United Nations (FAO) for Swine were used to study genetic diversity in Nagaland Local pig (Suwo) population. All the studied loci were highly informative and polymorphic. The number of observed alleles (N a ) detected ranged from 3 to 11, with an overall mean of 6.40±2.196. The mean effective number of alleles (N e ) was 3.66±1.229. The frequency of allele ranged from 0.023 to 0.710. The mean PIC value was 0.3448 to 0.8175 was 0.65±0.127. The overall means for observed (H O ) and expected (H e ) heterozygosities were 0.62±0.224 and 0.69±0.116 r espectively. The within breed estimate indicates heterozygosity shortage of 0.0887. The HardyWeinberg equilibrium test revealed that 9 out of 22 loci deviated from equilibrium. Shannon’s information index (I), was sufficiently high with a mean of 1.46. The population was stable with respect to size and was non-bottlenecked.
