يمثل الريف حجر الزاوية في معظم الدراسات المتعلقة بخطط التنمية، سواء على الصعيد الاقتصادي منها والاجتماعي أو الثقافي. ولعل الانحسار الذي طرأ على نسب سكان الأرياف وما تمخض عنه من مشكلات، بدت آثاره على الأوضاع الاقتصادية والاجتماعية في الريف والمدينة على السواء، بما خلفه من تضخم في المراكز الحضرية، وانحسار في الأرض الزراعية، وانخفاض في الإنتاج الزراعي والحيواني .. مما جعل الاستقرار الريفي  من أبرز الظواهر التي يجدر بالباحثين دراستها والاهتمام بها. يرجع الاهتمام بالمستقرات الريفية إلى أوائل القرن التاسع عشر، وكانت دراسة (ريترRitter ) لأنواع المساكن الريفية وأنماط توزيعها وعوامل استقرارها لها الفضل في وضع الإطار الحقيقي لجغرافية الاستقرار يعدّ (كاميل فاليكس Camille Vallaux) في طليعة من أسهموا في وضع الإطار المنهجي لمثل هذه الدراسات

Soil fertility, nutritional status, and sugarcane yield under two systems of soil management, levels of remaining straw and chiseling of ratoons
Authors: Arcoverde Sálvio Napoleão Soares , Kurihara Carlos Hissao , Staut Luiz Alberto , Tomazi Michely , Pires Adriana Marlene Moreno , Silva Cesar José da
Published: July 2023

Conservation management practices with minimum soil mobilization, maintenance of amounts of straw in the soil, and chiseling of ratoons interrows can be beneficial to soil quality, nutrition and sugarcane yield; however, the combination of these practices and their influence over the culture cycle should be better understood. This study aimed to assess the effects of levels of remaining straw and chiseling in the cultivation of ratoons on soil fertility, nutritional status and yield of stalks and sugar in one sugarcane cycle (five ratoons), under no-tillage and conventional tillage systems. The study was performed in Dourados municipality, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, in areas with a Oxisol (Latossolo) with very clayey texture. Design in randomized blocks was adopted, with four repetitions, in a subdivided portions scheme. Portions were composed of levels of remaining straw (0, 50 and 100 %), annually, and collected alternately in odd years (0I) and even years (0P) established after the plant harvest; sub-portions were composed of systems with and without chiseling. In the fourth ratoon, leaf diagnosis was made with quantification of macro-nutrient contents, and during the fifth ratoon soil samples were collected for chemical analyses. By the end of the cycle, accumulated yields of stalks and sugar were determined. In both management systems, keeping 100 % of straw improved soil fertility and kept higher yield levels in one sugarcane cultivation cycle, while chiseling did not influence soil fertility, nutrition and sugarcane yield. The use of no-tillage farming for sugarcane cultivation proved to be feasible in corrected environments, and did not reduce stalk and sugarcane yield. Straw removal influenced nutrient leaf contents, regardless of soil management.
Novel applications of manipulating gut microbiota for alleviating hematological disorders
Authors: Luthuli Sibusiso , Luthuli Lulama
Published: July 2023

Investigations toward malignancies involving gut microbiota are still in their infancy, especially in hematology and oncology. There are approximately 1.2 million new hematological malignancy cases, resulting in more than 500,000 cases/year in mortality worldwide. It is through commendable advancements directed toward anticancer therapy in recent times that have significantly improved the survival rate among individuals; however, their cytotoxicity or side effects tend to be challenging for patients to tolerate, attributed to anticancer therapies such as chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy due to the aggressive nature in terms of their mechanism of action. Therefore, novel means, or treatments that could present less or non-toxic modalities are warranted, especially those that decrease unpleasant side effects. Studies indicate that the human body accommodates roughly 40 trillion microorganisms, also referred to as the human microbiota, and the abundance of this microbiota is predominantly found in the gastrointestinal tract. The microbiota is associated with various physiological roles, like immunology, digestive functions, and neural development. Therefore, the aim of this literature is to summarize current innovations (and achievements) in using gut microbiota to alleviate diseases and possible directions to explore toward curing malignancies or associated ailments. In addition, this type of publication seeks to encourage possible directions to be employed in establishing “possible biomarkers” which could be used in both the laboratory and clinical settings; this includes methodologies involving translational medicine through undertakings of improving cancer therapy.

Published: July 2023

The aim of this article is to examine the accuracy of machine-based translation in contrast to human-based translation from Arabic into English only and not vice-versa. Through their own experiments, the authors compared the findings to findings of some other researchers in this field. The article deals with machine-based translation between these two distant languages in the context of different types of topics, mainly medical language (Health Awareness Texts) as a scientific translation publicly published texts, and literature language (Ancient Arabic Poetry Stanzas) as a literary translation non-publicly published texts according to the authors’ experiments and data analysis. The data of the first type group were collected from various materials used in translation projects at King Fahad Hospital of Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University while the second type data were selected from an article previously published by the first author but not available publicly or translated. Per the methodology, the authors used words errors rate equation (WER) after the translation has been thoroughly investigated by two external professional translators. The results of the study show that machine-based translation has its advantages but still does not totally replace human role in translating from Arabic to English because the outcome still requires deep editing.

Authors: Khasawneh Yusra Jadallah Abed
Published: July 2023

This study aims to analyze the legislation governing e-learning in Jordanian higher education institutions through an analytical, descriptive approach to the contents of the Jordanian legislative texts related to e-learning. This comes to determine the concept and types of e-learning, determine the positive and negative points of the process of employing e-learning in university education and determine the nature of the electronic content, its necessary teaching methods, and the nature of the technical and technological infrastructure necessary for e-learning. E-learning is distinguished by its flexibility; it provides an attractive learning environment, takes into account individual differences, and provides students with many research and scientific skills. On the other hand, it increased social inequality and the inability of parents to follow up on their children due to their electronic illiteracy. E-learning also reduces the opportunities for face-to-face interaction since students are affected by body language during the explanation. The study recommended the need to hold training courses for teachers and students and reconsider the methods of evaluating teachers depending on the quality of employing the electronic methods in their teaching.

Published: July 2023

This research paper intends to elucidate and ascertain prevailing leadership styles that principals of elementary education employ, along with their influence on the overall degree of motivation and teachers' job satisfaction. Quantitative method has been used in order to describe the relationship among the leadership style, motivation and job satisfaction. This study has been conducted with 700 elementary-school teachers respectively in the districts of Tirana, Durrës and Elbasan in Albania. In the findings of this study, the passive leadership style and the active leadership style dominate in the same values in the teachers’ perception as the most widely used styles of their headmasters/principals in the basic education. From the regression analysis, it turned out that the active and passive styles are statistically valid predictors of satisfaction and motivation of teachers at work. There is a positive moderate relation between the active style (transformational/ contingent reward) and job satisfaction. The findings of this paper will facilitate additional studies that must be conducted in the quest for broadening the leader's responsibilities and approaches to enhance working conditions, cultivate greater teacher motivation, and foster satisfaction within the environment they operate.

Method: This study applied descriptive survey research design aimed at the relationship of personality of administrators and accountability in secondary education in terms of school objectives and senior officers’ responsiveness. The population included 246 secondary schools in Cross River State, Nigeria. The sample consisted of the entire population of 246 secondary schools selected using census sampling technique. 492 principals and vice principals of secondary schools were used to assess the secondary education in the state. Data collection was done with researchers’ constructed instrument validated and with a reliability coefficient of 0.87 using cronbatch alpha method for the competence. Alpha reliabilities average of 0.80 (ranging from 0.17 to 0.88) was obtained using test retest reliability coefficient for adopted Big Five Inventory (BFI). Three research questions guided the study. Data were analyzed using Correlation and Multiple Regression Analysis. Results: The results showed that personality traits of administrators were positive significant predictors of accountability in secondary education. However, neuroticism behaviour dimension was negatively related to accountability in the secondary school system. Discussion and conclusion: Based on the results above, personality traits of administrators guaranteed improvement of accountability. The implication of this finding was that secondary education system could not inspire engagement and high level of performance without desirable natural ability traits of educational administrators. Therefore, innate characteristics of administrators were keystones of accountability in terms of achieving optimality in educational objectives and senior officers’ responsiveness in secondary education system.

Empirical findings from the study reveal that with regards to trade volume and trade intensity, on the average, United states of America is Nigeria’s largest trading partner followed by India, France, United Kingdom and China. Furthermore, the study revealed that the effects of distance, language, colony and contagion on international trade were insignificant. A plausible explanation could be that internet adoption to a large extent has made the world a global village and brought global technological transformation that has permeated all sectors of the economy. The study further found out that the gross domestic product of Nigeria and those of its major five trading partners significantly influence total export and import of goods and services.

The instrument revealed a coefficient of 0.762 which is acceptable. The method of data analysis used was analysis of variance (ANOVA) statistics to test the research questions. The statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) was used to analyse the data. The findings revealed that technical skill (N = 242; F = 3.570; P = 0.008 @ 0.05). Teaching flexibility (N = 242; F = 1.609; P = 0.188 @ 0.05). Self-efficacy (N = 242; F = 1.199; P = 0.312 @ 0.05) are positively significant with the blended learning. Research question one was deemed irrelevant, whereas the remaining questions held significant importance. Consequently, it was implied that learners exhibited specific IT skills facilitating their comprehension of blended learning. As a result, the study suggested that stakeholders in tertiary institutions should allocate funds toward the implementation of blended learning for both educators and students. Additionally, establishing a supportive technological ecosystem and establishing a technical hub for students would lead to reduced educational expenses and foster academic progress.

Authors: Adinoyi Julius Adavize , Ouma Martin Odhiambo , Nzau Mumo
Published: July 2023

Countries faced with terrorism in Africa cannot adequately check, advocate, and enable the delivery of public financial management (PFM). The activities of Boko-Haram in Northeastern Nigeria have disrupted public activities and affected key stakeholders’ involvement in the budget process, availability of budgeting information and budget performance. This study interrogates the impact of Boko-Haram on budgeting transparency and accountability. The research design was informed by interviews and documented studies. A diagnostic test was conducted on variables to confirm their reliability, validity and normality. Likert scale was used to find out the opinions of the respondents. Descriptive and inferential analysis was adopted in this research. With a significant regression model (p-value <0.05), the analysis shows that terrorism accounts for 89.28% variation in budget performance. The authors noted fewer scholarly efforts to interrogate how terrorism undermines budgeting as an aspect of PFM in economic governance. Hence recommends more research in this subject area, particularly in other terror affected countries in Africa. This paper recommends increased policy support by enhancing public accessibility of budget documents, engendering consultative forums for citizens' participation in the budget process in secure locations, and timely budgetary reports and audits by relevant government agencies.
