Female Sports Journalists: The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same
Authors: Radmann Aage , Sätre Anna
Published: May 2024

This article aims to explore the experiences of female sports journalists in Sweden from a gender perspective. The theoretical framework is inspired by Yvonne Hirdman’s understanding of gender in a binary system and R. W. Connell’s definition of hegemonic masculinity. Data consist of 10 semi-structured interviews with the most prominent female sports journalists in Sweden. The sports journalists in this study express that there has been a change in the media industry, resulting in a better understanding of women’s working conditions within the industry. Even so, the work is still grounded in a culture signified by hegemonic masculinity, where women need to find their own strategies to build a successful career, handle harassment, and cope with other gender-related challenges.

FUNCTIONS OF PARENTS HOMESCHOOLING THEIR CHILDREN: THE CASE OF LITHUANIA
Authors: Naidaitė Edita , Stasiūnaitienė Eglė
Published: May 2024

The origins of homeschooling can be traced back to the ideas of John Holt, an educational theorist and advocate of school reform in the 1970s, who argued that schools created an oppressive emotional environment and that education at schools aimed to make children’s achievements meet the standards required of compliant employees. Homeschooling is understood as an independent way of organising a form of individual learning, when the child is educated in a family and community environment using a variety of learning tools and environments. The number of homeschooled children is growing, and more and more parents are becoming interested in this form of education and in the legal aspects of its regulation. This article analyses the case of Lithuania. The aim of the article is to answer the questions of how homeschooling of children is organised and what functions parents perform in homeschooling. The qualitative research approach was chosen to analyse the experiences of parents homeschooling their children and to identify the functions of parents as educators.

Authors: Čiuladienė Grazina , Kairiene Brigita , Sinkevič Edita
Published: May 2024

This paper aims to reveal students' reactions to a conflict situation due to the nonimplementation of students' rights and duties. The data was collected by the means of a questionnaire (anonymous survey). The participants of the study were 241 pupils of a general education school (grades 5-8). The data show that conflicts between pupils and teachers are a daily occurrence. Conflicts between pupils and teachers arise from teacher‘s behaviour that ignores or violates pupil‘s rights: when the teacher explains the subject in an uninteresting way (60.2%); when teacher assigns too many tasks for pupils (58.9%); expresses negative bias towards the pupil (34.4%); teacher restricst pupil‘s independence (34.4%); teacher ignores the pupil‘s abilities (29.4%); teatcher does not assist the pupil (22%); teacher discriminates against the pupil (14.9%); or teacher behaves rudely towards the pupil (13.2%). The survey revealed that pupils tend to be passive during conflicts with the teacher: 47.8% of the pupils chooses avoidance strategy, 52.3% adapt, 29.9% of the pupils chooses the strategy of indirect protest, 6.6% of the pupils chooses direct aggression tactics (saying something offensive, refusing to do the task, etc.). Correlation analysis shows that conflict is most likely to occur when the teacher penalises pupil‘s misbehaviour through grading, when the teacher fails to notice the pupil‘s efforts, and when the teacher fails to help the pupil. As the teacher is the one who is responsible for building the pupil-teacher relationship, the teacher must take the lead in fostering a relationship of dignity and respect with the pupil by exercising his/her rights and resolving conflicts in a constructive way.

Published: May 2024

A child's motivation to learn is one of the most important factors in planning, organising, implementing, and achieving the child's learning outcomes. The aim of this article is to reveal the motivation of Roma children to learn, based on the experience of educators working with Roma children. The type of qualitative research was chosen for the study, the research was collected using a semi-structured interview method, and the content analysis method was used to analyse the data. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of research ethics: confidentiality, anonymity, and voluntary participation in the research. The research question: how do teachers motivate Roma children to learn? The study involved 21 teachers with experience of teaching Roma children. The study identified that the motivation of a Roma child to learn is influenced on the one hand by the teacher's efforts to create an educational environment that motivates the child and meets the individual needs of Roma children, and on the other hand by the efforts of teachers to involve parents in the child's educational process by encouraging and assisting parents to create a learning-friendly environment at home. The study reveals that when creating a motivating educational environment in the classroom, it is important for the teacher to accept the child as they are, to create a warm, respectful, equal relationship with the child, to interest the child, to use various incentives to emphasize the child's success, to differentiate and personalize activities, and to respond to the child's individual needs. When working with Roma children, it is important to do as many tasks as possible in the classroom, to enable them to do their homework at school and to use other pupils in the classroom to help motivate Roma children to learn and to overcome learning difficulties. The results of the study show that teachers' efforts to involve parents in their child's education by encouraging and helping parents to create a learning environment at home is important to help Roma children to understand the meaning of learning, to show the benefits of learning now and in the child's future perspective. The study reveals that cooperation between parents and teachers, a shared approach to the child's learning, and a common understanding of what is required of the child are important for the child's motivation.

FETHU’L-KADÎR ADLI ESERİ BAĞLAMINDA ŞEVKÂNÎ’NİN KIRAATLERİ KULLANMA YÖNTEMİ
Authors: Keleş Mehmet
Published: May 2024

Yemen’in önde gelen âlimlerinden biri olan Şevkânî (ö. 1250/1834), Zeydîlik mezhebinin hüküm sürdüğü bir ortamda yetişmiştir. Ancak otuzlu yaşlara geldiğinde herhangi bir mezhebe bağlı kalmanın taklitçilik olduğunu belirterek kendisini müçtehit olarak ilan etmiştir. Telif ettiği eserlerini bu düşünce çerçevesinde kaleme almış ve bunlar arasında muhteva bakımından en kapsamlı olan eseri ise araştırmamıza da konu olan Fetḥu’l-ḳadîr adlı tefsir kitabıdır. Söz konusu eser, Şevkânî’nin kıraat vecihlerini ele alma yöntemini gösteren tek eseri olarak bilinmektedir. Eserin tamamına bakıldığında Şevkânî’nin ayetleri yorumlama çerçevesinde kıraatleri sık sık kullandığı görülmektedir. Ayetleri açıklama sadedinde kimi zaman kıraatleri çeşitli görüşlerle birlikte aktarırken bazen de kıraat farklılıklarını yalnızca okuyuş sahibine nispet etmekle yetinmektedir. Ele aldığı kıraatleri sahabe, tabiîn ve kıraat imamları olmak üzere birçok şahıs ve bölgeye isnad ederek aktarmaktadır. Bu araştırma, Şevkânî’nin Fetḥu’l-ḳadîr adlı eseriyle sınırlandırılmıştır. Tahlili yapılan kıraat farklılıkları, Şevkânî’nin tefsirinden hareketle örneklendirme yöntemiyle yapılmaya çalışılmıştır. Müellifin tefsirinde, farklı hususlarla istidlâlde bulunduğu kıraatlerin manaya olan etkileri ve fıkhî meselelere yansımasını yoğun bir şekilde işleyerek kişisel görüşünü ortaya koyduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

A Green Repository Matures at Kepong : the forest Research Institute of Malaysia
Authors: Wong K. M.
Published: May 2024

An overview of the history of establishment, characteristics and functions of the grounds of the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia at Kepong is presented. The Institute was functionally established at its Kepong premises in 1926, when the first forest plantations there were begun, and the arboretum was established in 1929 through the efforts of F. W. Foxworthy and J. G. Watson. Today, the premises at Kepong occupy a total area of some 600 hectares, including the natural forest of Bukit Lagong, the plantation forests and the special livmg-plant collections. The planted forests are a prime example of tropical reforestation using hardwood dipterocarp species. These plantations and the arboreta have been built up through a close association with research related-to forestry, plant biology and taxonomy, and the grounds are an important facility for conservation, education and recreation. Taken in toto. the entire premises are effective in conservation through the building up of viable, breeding populations of many plant species, and are significant as a sanctuary for animal life.Unlike the Indian Botanic Garden, which by 1987 woidd have celebrated two hundred years since establishment, the Kepong premises of the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia will see its bicentenary only in the year 2126. It seems a long way to go, and indeed it is. But botanic gardens and arboreta do not grow merely with age; they will only develop with continual maintenance, acquisition and renewal through time. It is, therefore, most pleasing to realize that the Indian Botanic Garden has been sustained for two centuries, and the Kepong premises is maturing after sity years, as scientific livmg-plant repositories.The living collections on the Kepong premises of the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) have not normally been equated to a botanical garden in its typical sense because of the general emphasis on arboriculture and species of interest to tree-oriented forestry. Although they are as purposeful and functional as any botanical garden in the tropics, the grounds of the FRIM are unique in several aspects and are well-recognised by tropical plant scientists as one of the major repositories for living plants in the region.

Introduction of Fruit and Nut Crops in Medieval India
Authors: Maheshwari J. K.
Published: May 2024

India grows a large variety of fruits and nuts (hard-shelled fruit or seed) which play an important role in the economy of the country. A large number of fruit and nut yielding species grown in India are introductions during the medieval period (1200-1800 A.D.) from foreign countries and centres of origin of cultivated plants. Some of these species introduced have been successful and later became important export crops such as cashewnut and groundnut. Much of the information on the early history of plant introduction is scattered in archaeological accounts, ethnographies, gazetteers and travelogues of several visitors and dignitaries to India, and in the classical works, memoirs and autobiographies of Moghul emperors published during the medieval period. The Present account deals with the introduction of fruit and nut crops in India during the medieval period. (1200-1800 A.D.). There is need for collaborative work between the plant systematist, horticulturist, linguist and biohistorian for compilation of an authenticated history of pomology and horticulture in India.

The report also stresses the essentiality of biosystematic studies prior to making any new reports from any mineralized areas. This suggestion is made taking in view the prevailing opinions on the evolution and adaptation of indicator plants. Moreover, few notable indicator species are now recognised as only ecotypes of the related species growing on unmineralised areas. A compilation of indicator plants is made and the scope of utilisation and profitable exploitation of these taxa is discussed. A few important aspects of biogeochemistry are also given which are necessary in systematic and effective orientation surveys. It was felt that instead of taking up this subject in the established line, the analysis of herbarium material, procured from different herbaria of the country would be of great use for a quick tracing and assessment of mineral rich areas in the country.

Premna cordifolia (Verbenaceae) - A Variously Misapplied Name
Authors: Daniel P. , Rajendran A.
Published: May 2024

Premna cordifolia Roxb., does not occur in India. It is found that either this species was misunderstood or the name P. cordifolia misapplied to P. corymbosa Rottler in old literature; or to P. rubens (C.B. Clarke) Ridley in later literature. The species involved are keyed out and their nomenclature is set right. P. rubens is added to the Indian Verbenaceae and the name lectotypified.

Authors: Panchanan Bhaswapti , Mondal M. S.
Published: May 2024

Present paper deals with 8 samples of water fern-Ceratopteris thalictroides (L.) Brongn. growing in the fresh water lakes of Indian Botanic Garden, Shibpur, Howrah and in nearby areas inundated by different factory wastes containing hydrocarbons, saponins, mercury residues and various heavy metals in addition to acidic and alkaline residues.Biology of the water fern including spore production, fertility, germination etc. have been studied under control (IBG lakes) and field stress conditions. It is observed that environmental and pollution stress cause severe alteration in the life cycle of this aquatic fern affecting spore production rate, fertility percentage and germination. It is also observed that presence of humus in the soil, salinity and pH of the water also affect the biology and phenotypic plasticity of this water fern. Present observation will be very much helpful in further studies on the biology of the aquatic plants.

Phyllanthus parvifolius, P. Clarkei (Euphorbiaceae) and Related Indian Taxa
Authors: Mitra R. L. , Sanjappa M.
Published: May 2024

The study reveals that the concept of Phyllanthus parvifolius in Flora of British India is a mixture of altogether two different species save P. parvvolius. These are eastern Himalayan species P. pseudoparvifolius described here anew. and semiarid north-west Himalayan elements of P. clarkei. In addition to identifying these two species as representing P. parvifolius, a part of the semiarid elements of P. clarkei was also identified as P. praetervisus and hence P. praetervisus was reduced to the synonymy of alleged P. parvifolius. True P. praetervisus however, remained incognito in all the floras of the region as a constituent of P. clarkei described originally as a complex species from eastern Himalaya, while P. parvifolius, a species endemic to (? central) Nepal, also remained mixed up with the two aforesaid constituents of alleged P. parvfolius even in Nepal Flora.

Authors: Sharma N. K.
Published: May 2024

Appendicitis a well known intestinal disease now a days is caused by appendicular infection and inflammation. In modern allopathic system there is no perfect treatment of this disease except appendectomy. However, this disease is completely cured by the Bhil tribals of Jhalawar district (South-East Rajasthan), by the local application of plant paste of Ocimum americanum L. (Lamiaceae) on patient's abdomen. No further abdominal surgery of the patient is required in this particular mode of treatment. It is expected that after further researches this plant might prove a great source of safe, cheap and effective drug for the cure of appendicitis and will be a great asset for the welfare of human society.

Phytodiversity in Semiprotected Riverbanks of Agra
Authors: Bhatnagar V. P. , Kumar Anil , Srivastava J. N.
Published: May 2024

Riverbank ecosystem presents special habitat features of sloping topography, periodic inundation resulting in the temporary submergence of the vegetation which also faces the erosive forces of floodwaters. During the summer months, it is subjected to intense drought conditions. Under such unstable and challenging conditions certain plant species colonize the riverbanks and form plant communities. After raining season with the receding of flood waters the vegetation appears in the form of characteristic belts which are quite distinct due to their shape, number and continuity along the Yamuna riverine slopes. The plant species inhabiting the riverbanks are certain wetland winter annuals with a very short life span. The seed stock of these species is readily available ofi the bank and when the river comes in spate, the seeds are disseminated through the water currents.
