Published: August 2024

Kenya's educational landscape has witnessed a transformative shift towards curriculum reform, aiming to enhance the quality of education. A central element of this reform has been the transition from mere knowledge and skill acquisition to fostering the creation and practical application of knowledge and skills. This study specifically focused on evaluating the readiness of teachers to implement the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in language activities for Pre-Primary II students within Nambale Sub County, Kenya. The research objective was to assess Pre-Primary II teachers' ability to develop and utilize learning resources as an essential component of implementing CBC for language activities. Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory served as the theoretical framework underpinning this study. Mixed convergent research design was employed, including a sample size that involved 20 Head Teachers, 20 teachers-in-charge, 40 Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) teachers, the County Director ECDE, the Sub County Quality Assurance and Standards Officer (QASO) and the Sub County Director of Education (MOE). These individuals were purposively chosen due to their intimate involvement with educational processes. Data collection methods incorporated questionnaires, interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The analysis of the study's findings revealed a significant relationship between the teachers' ability to develop and utilize resources and the effective implementation of CBC in language activities. This relationship is underscored by a coefficient value (R) of 0.619 and an R square value of 0.383 at P=0.000, signifying that 38.3% of the variation in the implementation of CBC language activities is explained by the teachers' capacity to develop and utilize resources. The study recommends the enhancement of the successful implementation of CBC in language activities for Pre-Primary II learners, such as early teacher preparation, support for resource development and acquisition, structured planning of learning experiences, and capacity-building of teacher’s initiatives.
Empowering Teachers through Reflective Practice: A Pathway to Inclusive Classrooms in Pakistan
Authors: Safdar Samina , Waqar Yasira , Anis Faisal , Muhammad Yaar
Published: August 2024

In this opinion paper, the authors consider the applicability of reflective practice for enhancing teachers’ ability to enforce decentralization in Pakistan schools. While there is a growing interest in practicing inclusive education, Pakistani teachers still encounter challenges in practicing the concepts of inclusive education. In this paper, we maintain that the application of reflective practice as part of teacher training and continuous professional development can fill this gap. Reflective practice makes teachers question their own beliefs, attitudes, and practices, thus creating inclusiveness and appropriate teaching-learning approaches. At length, we examine how a model of reflective practice can lead to the improvement of the teacher’s capacity in relation to diversity that may exist in a school, forming general positive approaches towards students in class, and eradicating learned narrowed and structural factors that hinder inclusion. With the help of the presentation of professional compliance and reflective models, Pakistan can go a long way toward a more friendly environment for education for all children, irrespective of their abilities and backgrounds.

Published: August 2024

Background: Low back pain is one of the most significant musculoskeletal problems, causing various functional limitations that adversely affect individuals' quality of life. Objectives: The effect of combined Pilates-Kinsey and Mulligan-Kinsey exercises in women with non-specific chronic back pain has not been investigated. Methods: In the present quasi-experimental study, thirty women with non-specific chronic back pain with a range age of 35 - 65 years old were included in the study and were randomly divided into two Pilates-Kinesiotype (n = 15) and Mulligan-Kinesiotype (n = 15) groups. Exercise interventions were conducted for 6 weeks and 3 sessions per week. Pain, lumbar range of motion, hamstring stiffness and hip rotation were measured before and after the training intervention. Also, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) test was used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that there is a significant difference between the effect of Pilates-Kinesiotype training and Mulligan Kinesiotype training in the variables of pain, hamstring stiffness and hip rotation (P < 0.05) and the reduction of pain and hip rotation in the Pilates-Kinesiotype training group compared to The Mulligan-Kinesiotype group was better. But the hamstring range of motion was better in the Mulligan-Kinesiotype group than in the Pilates-Kinesiotype group. In addition, the results showed that there is no significant difference between the waist range of motion of the research groups (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Due to the fact that mulligan and Pilate's exercises together with Kinesiotype have an effect on pain variables, hamstring stiffness and hip rotation, and each of mulligan and Pilate's exercises have different effectiveness. These exercises can be used in combination with Kinesiotype to help women with non-specific chronic back pain.

Published: August 2024

Background: In situations with physical limitations, combining online and in-person methods with a greater focus on practical exercises, feedback, and maintaining motivation and commitment to learning may be the best approach. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of two educational methods— in-person training and online training— on learning jump rope skills. Methods: Forty fourth-grade girl students were randomly assigned to two groups: In-person training and online training. Initially, participants took a pre-test that involved performing the basic single jump technique (BSJT) for 30 seconds. The online class was conducted on Iran's official educational platform, a messaging service that allows for the transmission of audio, video, and text files, as well as live calls. The in-person group received all instructions with the same content in person. Immediately after completing eight 45-minute instructional sessions, a post-test similar to the pre-test was administered. One week after the acquisition sessions, a retention test for 10 other jump rope techniques was conducted within a 30-second time frame, and the average score was calculated for each participant. Results: The results showed a significant main effect of the group, with the overall performance of the in-person group being better than that of the online group. Participants' scores in BSJT improved from the pre-test to the post-test. A significant difference was observed between the in-person and online groups in the retention test. Conclusions: In-person training appears to be generally more effective than online training for improving jump rope skills. While online training can be effective for mastering and consolidating previously learned skills, in-person training is preferable for learning and mastering more complex techniques.

Malting - ‘the middle parts of fortune’ - a history of innovation and the enduring quest for efficiency
Authors: Evans David Evan , Shen Wenbiao , Brookes Peter
Published: August 2024

Why was the work done: The malting process has long been a target for innovation to improve malt quality.  The efficiency of utilisation of labour, capital, water and energy, particularly the energy intensive kilning process is a key target for maltsters to reduce the environmental footprint and costs. Similarly, water use during steeping is a priority due to scarcity of water and regulations regarding the disposal of wastewater.
How was the work done: A comprehensive review of the literature was undertaken to identify prospects for improving the efficiency of the malting process.
What are the main findings: The malting process involves: (i) selection of barley variety of suitable quality (protein, microbiologically sound); (ii) cleaning and grading; (iii) steeping in water with dry rests over one to two days, moisture increases from 10-13 to >40% (ideally 42-45%); (iv) germination at 12-16°C in a flow of humid air to maintain malt moisture at 42-46%; (v) kilning at between 50-85°C with hot dry air and (vi) storage and blending of malt to specification. Analysis of these steps shows that there is potential to reduce water use and discharge by ~40% with the Optisteep® system. In terms of energy, kilning uses 80-90% of all malting energy (conventionally gas), which makes kilning attractive for energy savings. Marginal energy savings can be made by lowing malt moisture to <40% before germination/kiln transfer and reducing malt moisture to <9% rather than 4-6%. Novel solutions include using green malt and barley brewing which save energy (especially kilning). Although for brewing with unkilned green malt, significant challenges remain to be solved. However, over the past 25 years, maltsters have been successful in incrementally reducing kilning energy by 20-35% per decade.
Why is the work important: Increasing malting efficiency while maintaining or improving quality has important implications for reducing costs and reducing the environmental footprint of the malting process.

Apolipoprotein AV and Its Role in Triglyceride Metabolism
Authors: Walijee Shabbir Moizali
Published: August 2024

Apolipoprotein AV (APOAV) is a recently identified member of the apolipoprotein gene family discovered through comparative sequence analysis within the APOA1/C3/A4 gene cluster. Research has shown that changes in APOAV levels significantly influence plasma triglyceride concentrations. In mice, overexpression of human APOAV reduces triglycerides while the absence of APOAV leads to a substantial increase. Human studies present mixed findings; some indicate a positive correlation between APOAV and triglyceride levels, while others show no significant relationship. Despite its low plasma concentration, ranging from 24 to 406 mg/L, APOAV profoundly impacts lipid levels, a feature distinguishing it from other major HDL apolipoproteins. Elevated APOAV levels have also been observed in patients with inflammation and coronary artery disease (CAD), although the underlying reasons remain unclear. Polymorphisms in the APOAV gene define several common haplotypes associated with significant variations in triglyceride levels across different populations. Consistent evidence from clinical studies supports the association between APOAV haplotypes and increased plasma triglyceride levels. APOAV is thus recognized as an important gene in triglyceride metabolism in both humans and mice, although its exact mechanism of action remains to be fully understood.

Abstract This essay was carried out in order to establish an explanatory framework about theevaluation, to elucidate the essence of two characteristics that have been discussed about it over the years: its consideration as an integral and continuous process specifically focused on the legal system of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. For this reason, a review of documents that could support the statements adduced here was carried out, and the reflections of the author of this text were also expressed, especially regarding the usefulness of the evaluative act as a promoter of changes with an impact on the social spectrum. To do this, the core of attributes that the evaluation should ideally have was indicated in accordance with the Venezuelan Organic Law of Education and the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in the understanding that they are the two main norms that must govern the evaluation carried out within the education assumed as a human right. It was understood that the evaluation should not be assumed as an action to express a judgment about educational practices, but rather constitutes a mechanism for the formation of citizens that consequently give way to the evolution of society.

Background: Healthcare remains unavailable for many persons who are un- or under-insured. Equal Access Birmingham (EAB) is a student run free clinic that provides urgent, primary, and specialty care to the Birmingham area. The purpose of this study was to evaluate EAB’s effectiveness in hypertension management. 
Methods: A total of 137 patient records were identified with hypertension. After exclusion criteria were applied, the cohort consisted of 66 patients. The average number of clinic visits per patient was 6.4 (standard deviation [SD] ± 4.1). 
Results: Systolic blood pressure decreased from 151.3mmHg to 140.6mmHg (p=0.0028, t(64)=2.95, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.82, 17.57). Diastolic blood pressure decreased from 90.7mmHg to 85.5mmHg (p=0.0120, t(64)=2.37, 95% CI 1.18, 9.27). 
Conclusions: In patients with consistently recorded vital signs that followed up with regular clinic visits, blood pressure over time was significantly reduced. However, many patients were lost to follow up.

Authors: Ayuan Zhang , Lulu Liu , Mohi Zurinawati , Mohd Hanafiah Mohd Hafiz

Local people\'s perception of tourism\'s impact and quality of life is a major factor influencing their participation in tourism. Support will be greater if there are more benefits from the local tourism industry. Responsible tourism is seen as one of the alternatives to minimize the negative impacts of tourism and increase the long-term benefits for local tourism. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between the perceived impacts of Henan Rural Tourism Transformation Development (HRTTD), responsible tourism practices, quality of life, and supports for the further development of HRTTD. The study applied social exchange theory as an underpinning theory to explain the relationship between the variables. A quantitative approach was applied to a randomly selected group of participants drawn from five active rural tourism villages in Henan. Data was collected face-to-face as respondents needed guidance in filling out the questionnaire. Three hundred and eight-five responses were selected and analyzed, and Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the hypotheses. This study has confirmed that quality of life partially mediates the relationship between perceived impacts of HRTTD (economic and cultural) and supports further tourism development. The study contributed to the field of tourism research by examining the intricate interplay between local perception, responsible tourism, quality of life, and support for tourism development. Besides, this study enhanced the understanding of how these factors interact and provide actionable insights for fostering sustainable tourism practices and community engagement.

LEADERSHIP AND CONTEMPORARY PUBLIC POLICY

Government leadership in a government area is largely determined by the capabilities of each leader. The capability referred to is the ability to carry out government tasks in accordance with the needs and interests of its people as well as the demands of the global community. It takes a leader's ability to understand the aspirations of his people and read the trends of the changing times. Contemporary public policies need to be studied carefully so that strategic issues can be selected from among the issues faced to be raised as policy problems and subsequently can be determined as a policy agenda (agenda setting). A careful study through these stages will greatly assist the government in formulating policies in the form of legislation that can be used as leverage in solving various problems faced by the government. Starting from the determination of policy issues to the right policy formulation, various programs and activities that are right on target can be operationalized. Through this stage, an accountable government administration will also be able to achieve a significant impact on improving the welfare of the community.
