What Do They Actually Need? An Investigation of English Learning Motivation of the Underprivileged Students
Authors: Wong Ruth
Published: October 2022

Motivation plays an indispensable role in education because it directs students’ behaviour toward goals; enhances cognitive processing which leads to effort and persistence in learning activities; and determines what learning behaviours should be enforced and brings learning outcomes. To the underprivileged students, what is the meaning of learning English? Why do they need to get English Language education? What drives them to learn English? To answer these questions, this paper has established a framework of learning motivation to profile the English learning motivation of the underprivileged students. Based on the proposed framework, a questionnaire has been developed. Over 2800 adolescents responded to the questionnaire. Data analysis included two procedures: Principle Components Analysis and Exploratory Factor Analysis were employed. According to the results found in this study, parental-teacher influence, extrinsic values and self-perception on own abilities are the most significant factors influencing the English learning motivation of the underprivileged.

Authors: Quijano Ma Florisa , Quijano Gerald , Diaz Rowell
Published: October 2022

Philippine lime or calamansi is considered one of the Philippine high-value crops in Nueva Ecija province. This article presents some issues and problems of the calamansi industry in terms of marketing. The study used a descriptive survey of 56 farm-owners or calamansi growers. Findings revealed that lime production could be a stable income source if the growers could provide the necessary production inputs on a sustainable basis. Calamansi farmers in the province are often confronted with the following problems: the high cost of farm inputs, price fluctuations, price manipulation of big-time traders, and other intermediaries. The study also found that the existing actors in the chain were limited to growers, laborers, agri-supply shops, nursery owners, intermediaries, and traders. In terms of trading, there is a high degree of competition among traders in the market. The findings and results from this study may be important factors in developing and designing effective agricultural marketing program and startegic development plan by the authorities in the region.

Human activities lead to many changes in the environment, which ultimately upset the natural balance between living organisms and encourage disease causing pathogens to multiply rapidly, thereby increasing the risk of disease outbreak. Natural resources have become the focus of drug research to deal with the pathogenic microbes, which in many cases, provided vital leads for the development of synthetic compounds. Seaweed is a rich source of nutrients included in Asians traditional cuisine and is being extensively explored for its other merits as a food. Apart from its proven nutritional properties, bioactive molecules found in seaweeds have attracted the interest of health conscious societies. At present, there is a high demand for seaweeds as many quarters have begun consuming healthy and ‘natural foodstuffs’, mainly because seaweeds are rich in minerals, vitamins and proteins.

Crônica de uma reintegração anunciada: os casos de Pinheirinho e de Vila Soma à luz da função social da propriedade
Authors: Nogueira Mariana Cristina Galante
Published: October 2022

Visa analisar a relação entre o Judiciário e os conflitos territoriais urbanos, a partir do instituto da função social da propriedade. A pesquisa demonstra que há consenso na doutrina acerca da natureza e da necessidade de aplicação desse instituto. Todavia, no momento em que o conflito é posto, a prática não acompanha o consenso doutrinário. A reintegração de posse ocorrida no ano de 2012 no bairro de Pinheirinho, localizado em São José dos Campos, por ser emblemática nesse sentido, é dissecada para que se possam observar os processos que atuaram nas decisões judiciais e quais foram suas consequências. Analisa-se, também, o histórico da ocupação da Vila Soma, bem como a decisão de suspensão de sua reintegração. O objeto central da análise é correlacionar o discurso teórico e a atuação do Poder Judiciário no momento em que o conflito se materializa e deve ser resolvido. Com a crença de que podemos vislumbrar um novo futuro para as ações de reintegração de posse, quaisquer que sejam suas dimensões, baseamo-nos na literatura especializada em Direito Constitucional e Direito Urbanístico. Para a reconstrução das narrativas, na segunda e na terceira seções, utilizou-se da análise das tramitações processuais de ambos os casos e a denúncia do caso de Pinheirinho levada à Organização dos Estados Americanos (OEA) por parte de entidades civis não governamentais.

New Biological Rhythm in Cambia of Trees – “Music of Trees” Revisited 50 Years After the Discovery of Cambial Morphogenetic Waves
Authors: Zagórska-Marek Beata
Published: October 2022

Among periodic patterns having origin in cambium and recorded in figured wood, the tangential waviness has been the first to be discovered and thoroughly characterized. Yet another pattern, manifested in the rippled surface of some tree trunks, has remained basically undescribed. This work is the first attempt to provide information on its morphology, dynamics, and relation to the tangential waviness. Developmental analysis of the annual ring widths on the transverse surface of the stem showed that crests and throughs forming a ripple pattern result from a highly controlled proliferation of cambial cells. These cells’ activity regularly oscillates in time and space between an increased and a reduced state at approximately 10-year intervals, independently of the environmental cues considered in dendrochronological studies. This rhythm leads to the development of radial waviness and is a major factor affecting wood ring width. Radial waviness is dynamic; it propagates along the stem axis and is often synchronized with tangential waviness in a nonrandom manner. Possible causes of radial pattern emergence based on auxin waves, the role of other phytohormones, and recent discoveries of MADS-box genes that regulate cambial cell proliferation are discussed.
Class Size and Self-Esteem as Determinants of Student Learning Outcomes in Essay Writing
Authors: Ogunyemi Kehinde Olufemi
Published: October 2022

This study was carried out mainly to investigate the effects of class size and self-esteem on student achievement in—and attitude toward—English essay writing. The study was influenced by earlier research reports indicating that the large class sizes prevalent in Nigerian schools may be detrimental to student academic and emotional well-being. The study employed an ex post facto research design, as no attempt was made to alter the pre-existing conditions in the schools. Three hundred and thirty-five (335) Senior Secondary School 2 students from nine purposively selected schools participated in the study. An achievement test in essay writing (r = 0.7); attitude toward essay writing questionnaire (r = 0.72); and self-esteem questionnaire (r = 0.84) were the instruments used for data collection. The data collected were analyzed using analysis of covariance. All hypotheses were tested at a 0.05 level of significance. Results showed that there was a significant effect of class size on student achievement in essay writing, whereas class size had no significant effect on attitude toward essay writing. Results also showed that there was no significant effect of self-esteem on student achievement in—and attitude toward—essay writing. Based on these findings, it was recommended that the government should ensure that classrooms are not overcrowded.
Effective Teaching of Literature-in-English in Nigerian Secondary Schools: The Persistent Problems
Authors: Ugwu Eucharia Okwudilichukwu
Published: October 2022

Literature-in-English is a major school subject that equips students with language and other soft skills needed for entry into the workforce. For students to acquire the skills, effective teaching, which is dependent on the availability of basic teaching–learning resources, is essential. Education is underfunded in Nigeria. This affects the quality of teaching and impedes learning. The rate at which students fail Literature-in-English, which is getting worse each year, indicates that there is a problem in the teaching–learning process. Using a mixed-method research design, this study investigated the problems of teaching Literature-in-English in 51 public senior secondary school in Ibadan metropolis, Oyo State. Random and purposive sampling techniques were used to select three local government areas (LGAs), 20 teachers, and 7,090 students. Data were gathered through Availability of Literature Teachers Checklist (ALTC), Interview Guide for Literature-in-English Teachers (IGLT) and Students’ Text Possession Checklist (STPC). The result shows that teachers are faced with a lot of challenges that prevents them from delivering quality instruction. These include poor learning environment, acute shortage of textbooks, low language proficiency misconceptions about the value of literature, heavy workload, and lack of parental support. Some schools do not have literature teachers. The biggest obstacle, however, is lack of textbooks. The situation is critical and points to a crisis of teaching and learning in Literature-in-English classrooms. Urgent interventions are needed if the objectives of this school subject are to be achieved. Some recommendations were made.

This article consists of a review article reporting the results of previous evaluations of the control of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) related disease through the Community Hygiene Club (CHC) intervention from 2010 to 2020. CHC constitutes the main intervention for the control of WASH-related disease in Rwanda and is implemented countrywide. The study objective was to evaluate if the CHC intervention significantly reduced the prevalence of WASH-related disease after 10 years of its implementation in Rwanda. The study utilized online existing policy documents, research reports, and experiences on the CHC intervention in Rwanda published between 2010 and 2020. We selected and reviewed 12 published documents, and the evaluation followed the steps proposed by ACHI (2020) Health Impact Assessment (HIA) and related frameworks of effective implementation of community health interventions. The primary outcome measure used was the reduction of WASH-related disease while the secondary outcome measure used was the increase of household WASH practices at less than a 5% level of statistical significance. We also described the structure and the implementation process of the CHC intervention. From the case studies where frameworks of effective implementation of community health interventions were applied, the study results showed the intervention significantly (a) increased households’ WASH practices and (b) reduced WASH-related disease. Due to limited publications in the research area and the lack of association of the WASH-related diseases and practices to the CHC intervention’s evaluation for most of published research reports, we recommend additional field data for an extended conclusion and its generalization in Rwanda. The study highlights the need to use appropriate frameworks in the evaluation of community health interventions to (a) attribute the outcome to the intervention and (b) easily identify the shortcomings in case of failure to get expected outcomes.

Published: October 2022

The traditional perceptions of disease causation often reinforce the feelings of stigmatization and discrimination towards individuals who have recovered from an illness. This study investigated the existing social practices with regard to stigmatization and discrimination against COVID-19 survivors in Southwest Nigeria. Using the Psychoanalytic Theory, this phenomenological qualitative study utilized the snowball sampling method and an in-depth interview to sample 25 COVID-19 survivors in Southwest Nigeria. Collected data for this study were analyzed thematically, using content analysis with the aid of the ATLAS.ti software. Findings from the study indicated that COVID-19 survivors generally experience sympathy, hostility, mockery, and social exclusion. Basically, the nature and type of stigmatization experienced by the survivors were psychological in nature. Reactions towards stigmatization manifested in negative emotions, such as suicidal thoughts and emotional outbursts. The study recommended the use of effective mediums to enlighten the public about the dangers inherent in discrimination against survivors.

The study was conducted to determine the effect of breed and graded level of sun-dried pineapple peel (PP) on carcass characteristics of growing rabbit bucks. Thirty-two (32) growing rabbits (New Zealand White, Chinchilla and Dutch) aged between 6-7 weeks with an initial average weight of 762.25±52.66 g were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments (0 %, 5 %, 10 % and 15 %) in a completely randomized design in 3 x 4 involving three breeds and four dietary treatments with eight rabbits in each of the dietary treatments. The experimental diets and clean drinking water were supplied ad libitum during the experiment which lasted 56 days. At the end of the feeding trial, three rabbits from each of the treatments were used for the carcass characteristics. The rabbits were cut into part such as the head, loin, thoracic cage, skin, fore limb, shank, hind limb, testis and the relative organs (heart, liver, kidney, caecum, lungs, stomach, intestine, abdominal fat) and were weighed. The data collected were subjected to statistical analysis software (SAS) version 9.0. All the relative organs and retail cuts evaluated had no significant (P>0.05) difference except for the thoracic cage and shank which had significant (P<0.05) differences among the breeds where CH had significantly (P<0.05) higher values. The results of the graded levels shows no significant (P>0.05) difference in all the parameters except for caecum, intestine and hind limb with the highest at 10 %, 0 % and 5 %, respectively. In conclusion, CH breed is recommended for higher thoracic cage and shank weights and the 10 % inclusion of pineapple peel had higher caecum. However, there were no differences and no deleterious effect across all the treatments on all major carcass traits of growing rabbit bucks.

Published: October 2022

Maize is one of the prominent cereal crops locally as well as internationally for both biological and industrial processing. The nutritional value of maize grains is graded to be poor due to limiting essential amino acids mainly lysine and tryptophan. A series of events beginning by the discovery of the opaque-2 mutation until the development of enhanced protein quality cultivars paved the way for the role of amino acid modifiers genes and proteins. Quality Protein Maize (QPM) is the improved variant of the normal maize with enhanced protein quality. Protein body (PB) formation and the association of the molecular structure of the starch and PB has been a study of concern. Various changes in biochemical pathways leading to the changed zein and non-zein proportions have been studied using transgenic technology which forms an important component of maize protein. Maintaining the quality parameter of QPM inbreds, hybrids and populations so developed is a scientific concern to the speedy and precise determination of quality parameters and further maintaining these parameters using standard breeding methods. The role of biochemist and biochemical techniques are of great significance in maize quality protein research since high throughput and precise nutrient profiling of breeding lines, populations, inbred lines and hybrids support a sound QPM development programme. Various advanced techniques have been developed so far, for the protein isolation till detection and quantification of protein.Among these, the most advanced is the Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography(UPLC) technique which is highly accurate and can be used efficiently for amino acid profiling of the maize germplasm, breeding lines and hybrids to support the decision making the process in QPM breeding programme. Thus, this review gives us an overview of the breeding methods and biochemical techniques utilized in the development of QPM in the current year 2019 and beyond.

An attempt has been made to establish a relationship between NDVI and cover-management factor (C-factor) which varies with area and crop. IRS LISS III data with 23.5 m resolution is used to derive precisely NDVI and correlated with C-factor, the derived regression equation shows a good relationship between NDVI and C-factor value. An approach was made to use this area specific equation for getting C- factor for the whole Mahabubnagar district, Telangana from 2013 imagery data and the study was conducted in 2017. For future scenarios study, a relationship between rainfall, temperature, and NDVI of the whole district was derived. The NDVI value of the study area varies between 0.63 and 0.046. Based on the regression model C-factor for the future scenarios using available CMIP5 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project-5) has been mapped for the whole district. Using the NDVI map, the C-factor map of the area was prepared in ArcGIS 10.0 software. The spatial distribution shows that the C-factor values varied between 0.52-0.86. On an average C- factor for 2020s, 2050s and in 2080s were 0.53, 0.76, and 0.77 respectively. The predicted C- factor values were then brought under the GIS environment and C- factor prediction maps were generated.

A large area of Gujarat and Rajasthan is rain-fed exposing rural population to food prices spike due to frequent droughts. The present study was conducted in year 2020 and is based on NSSO data on household consumption expenditures of rural households of these states for the year 2009 to analyse the effects that food price changes have on food expenditure and calorie intake. The results show a strong negative effect of price rises on calorie intake. The negative impact of prices of foods particularly wheat, and milk is more on richer than on poorer households as they have the capability to cut calorie intake in the event of a price rise while its opposite for coarse cereals. The food prices particularly, milk, wheat and, pulses also have highly positive influence on food expenditure of poorer households. Rice price does not have much significant effect on food security in both the states.

A field experiment was conducted consecutively during 2018-19 and 2019-20 cropping seasons at Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Mohanpur. The study was carried out in split-plot design having two sowing dates (November first week and December first week) in main plot, and foliar spray (no spray, spray of tap water, Zn @ 0.5% (ZnSO4.7H2O), Fe @ 0.5% (FeSO4.7H2O), B @ 0.2% (Borax 10.5%), Zn @ 0.5% + B @ 0.2%, Zn @ 0.5% + Fe @ 0.5%, B @ 0.2% + Fe @ 0.5% and Zn @ 0.5% + Fe @ 0.5% + B @ 0.2%) in sub-plots with three replications. Pooled results of two years experiment clearly indicated that November sown crop produced significantly (P>0.05) higher growth attributes, yield attributes and yield. November sown crop recorded 52.9%, 58.3%, 11.3% and 3.0% higher number of pods, seed yield, stover yield and test weight compared to the crop sown in December. Foliar spraying of micronutrients, viz. B @ 0.2% + Fe @ 0.5% produced significantly higher seed and stover yield of 1438 kg/ha and 3981 kg/ha respectively, which were 58.3% and 27.0% more than that obtained from the control treatment (772 and 3134 kg/ha). Delay in sowing of crop from November to December reduced the crop duration by 11.4 days (113.4 days vs 101.7 days) which affected the yield of the crop. Overall, it can be concluded that lentil sown during November along with foliar spray B @ 0.2% + Fe @ 0.5% can improve the yield in new alluvial zone of West Bengal, India.

Consumption of onion seed sprouts is getting popular for its flavour and texture. However, there is limited information on changes in the phytonutrients during sprouting of onion seed. The objective of this study was to determine the temporal variations in the phytonutrient content during the sprouting of onion seeds and to determine the appropriate time of sprouting for better nutrition. Seeds of three onion varieties (Bhima Red, Bhima Raj and Bhima Kiran) were germinated for different periods (5, 10 and 15 days). Changes in phytonutrients and antioxidant potential were analyzed. The highest flavonoids, thiosulfinates, and DPPH activity were observed in 10 days old sprouts, which were 38.78%, 160.71%, and 97.45% higher than seeds. Pyruvic acid, total phenols and ABTS activity was maximum in 15 days old sprouts, which was 682.69%, 189.03%, and 79.38% higher than seeds respectively. The sugars increased initially but declined with sprout age and the lowest levels were recorded in 15 days old sprouts. Sprouting enhanced the health-promoting phytonutrients and antioxidant activity of onion seeds and sprouts harvested at 10 and 15 days had a higher quantity of health-promoting phytonutrients.

A field experiment was conducted during 2016-17 at Punjab Agricultural University, Regional Research Station, Kapurthala, Punjab, India with nine treatments comprising various combinations of farmyard manure (FYM), biofertilizers and different levels of chemical fertilizers in a randomized block design (RBD). Our results demonstrated that application of FYM @ 20 t/ha with soil test based application of nutrients recorded significantly highest number of millable canes of 134.3 thousand/ha and number of shoots (142.2 thousand/ha) at 150 DAS. However, cane length, cane diameter, single cane weight, cane yield and sugar yield were statistically at par with either application of 100% RDF plus FYM @ 20 t/ha or with the soil test based application of nutrients along with biofertilizers and 10 t/ha of FYM. With 20 t/ha of FYM and chemical fertilizer, the build-up of organic carbon content, N, P, K, Zn, Fe, Cu and Mn were significantly higher than the treatments containing either 10 t of FYM/ha or no manure. Application of FYM or biofertilizers or both along with RDF or STB nutrient application resulted in 12.8 to 17.9% higher cane yield, resulting in additional net returns of ₹ 20592 to 45230/ha as compared to recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers alone. Our study showed that higher cane and sugar productivity and economic returns can be achieved by applying either 20 t of FYM or 10 t of FYM along with bio-fertilizers.

The present study was attempted to develop an automated irrigation system for real-time irrigation management using soil moisture sensor, decision support system, level sensor, level controller, GSM receiver, transmitter, solenoid valve, water meter and pump. The performance of developed automated irrigation system was evaluated under different methods of irrigation in broccoli crop. The field experiment in Broccoli crop was conducted (2013-14 and 2014-15 ) in split plot designwith three irrigation methods, i.e. check-basin, furrow and drip irrigation as main plot treatments, and irrigation control methods, i.e. automated and manually-controlled assub-plot treatments. Water saving, water productivity and cost economics of developed system were calculated and compared under different studied irrigation methods. It was found in the present study that the sensor based automated drip irrigation system resulted in highest irrigation water productivity (9.7 kg/m3) and crop water productivity (10.6 kg/m3) as compared to all other treatments. Similarly, the highest benefit-cost ratio (3.24) and water saving was obtained under the sensor based automated drip irrigation system. Therefore, the developed indigenous sensor based automated drip irrigation system can be used for efficient irrigation management in the broccoli crop.

This article addresses the demarcated region of Vinho Verde, focusing on the Monção / Melgaço sub-region. Wine tourism in Melgaço is considered complementary to the destination. This work contextualises Melgaço as a destination as well as the profile of the tourist who visits the area. A literature review was performed to frame this destination, referring to its wine tourism, particularly associated to Alvarinho wine, as a distinctive factor. The economic importance of this tourist product for the municipality is analysed and the promotion actions initiated by the municipality during the confinement period motivated by the pandemic COVID 19. As empirical support, a case study about the Soalheiro Brand is described; its history, evolution over the decades, performance in the market and its action to remain active in wine tourism using social networks during the pandemic. We describe the importance of digital media for the maintenance of the target audience of this brand and Melgaço as a destination. Lastly, we explored how Quinta de Soalheiro is preparing for the resumption, already in the summer of 2020.
