The sonority of the Book of Lamentation by Grigor Narekatsi was promoted by the consistent repetition of the same or similar sounds, i.e. consonance. In the Book of Lamentation the author used both forms of consonance: alliteration (repetition of consonants) and assonance (repetition of vowels), as well as their new and more complex forms, as concatenated consonance, alternation of the same or similar sounds of neighboring words. Since sound repetitions played an important role in Narekatsi’s work, it was necessary to represent them in the translations either. The present article studies the phenomena of consonance in the poetic translations of the Book of Lamentation into modern Eastern Armenian by Mkrtich Kheranyan and Vazgen Gevorkyan. In the translation by Mkrtich Kheranyan, the forms of consonance are basically identical, except for those parts where the repetition of letters coincides with the repetition of the endings, or the repeating elements are replaced with close or similar sounds. However, Vazgen Gevorkyan sometimes renounces the original form, since it does not allow to convey poetic sounding to the translation and keep the poetic metre. Hence, constraints of choosing words with different sound combinations.
The Mediating Effect of Leadership Trust on the Relationship Between Organizational Commitment and Willingness to Remain in the Profession of Public Elementary School Teachers
Authors: Jade Riezl C. Flores , Lyndon A. Quines
Published: September 2022

This study determined the mediating effect of leadership trust on the link between organizational commitment and willingness to remain in the profession among 300 teachers in the Division of Davao del Sur, the Philippines, using a non-experimental quantitative descriptive-correlational research design. Weighted mean, Pearson r, and path analysis using AMOS were used for data analysis. Findings revealed that the level of Organizational Commitment and level of Job Satisfaction are “high,” while the level of willingness to remain in the profession is “very high.” Organizational commitment positively and significantly correlated with willingness to stay in the work (r=0.162) and leadership trust (r=0.573). Also, Leadership Trust positively and significantly correlated with overall Willingness to Remain in the profession (r=0.386). Utilizing path analysis, the study revealed complete mediation of leadership trust on the association between organizational commitment and willingness to remain in work. This means that leadership trust is why organizational commitment can influence the desire to stay in the profession.
Explained: How to save our environment for our future generations through sustainable food systems?
Authors: KAUR PARMEET
Published: September 2022

The food choices which we make in our daily lives are known to have a direct impact on our environment. Our planet earth has been getting warmer in recent years. Asia accounts for nearly half of global green house gas emissions (GHGEs). It is predicted that by 2050, a large number of regions in Asia will be exposed to deadly levels of GHGEs. It is now time that we recognize the environmental impacts of the type and amount of food we eat considering the planet and our health. It is very important to address these issues because a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that our dietary habits are putting a lot of strain on the environment. Encountering the recent trends of overconsumption of discretionary foods (foods and beverages not required to provide nutrients the body needs) is key to aligning human and planetary health. Although the undesirable health effects of discretionary foods are an increased risk of obesity and chronic diseases, the environmental and broader sustainability impacts of these food products require more public awareness, especially since their dietary consumption has been increasing greatly in recent decades. Therefore, moving to more sustainable food choices, dietary patterns, and sustainable diets is required to strengthen global efforts to save our planet earth.

Authors: C Guru , HN Nagesh , Ayyali Ambresh , BS Nagaraja
Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND:
In the current scenario of vaccine scepticism amidst India’s massive vaccination drive, assessment of knowledge and attitude of healthcare workers towards the vaccine and their appropriate training is vital to build trust in the vaccine and increase acceptance.
AIMS: To study and assess Knowledge, Attitude and Practice towards Covid-19 Vaccine among healthcare workers in a tertiary care center.
DESIGN: Pre & Post Questionnaire Survey (Interventional study)
METHODOLOGY: After informed consent, the responders were provided an online questionnaire for the collection of information on knowledge, attitude and practices about COVID-19 vaccines. Responses were collected both before and after the sensitisation programme.
RESULTS:
The study included 366 participants with mean age of 23.25 years (SD=9.08). Our study found that there was significant change in the knowledge, attitude, and willingness of the HCWs after the sensitising program. After the sensitisation, 83.7% were ready to accept that the vaccine is a good idea (compared to 65.6%).83.7% were ready to accept that the vaccine is a good idea (compared to 65.6% pre-sensitisation). Concerns about the side effects reduced among HCWs from 53.3% to 48.3%. Willingness to take the vaccine increased from 37.7% to 69.78% after the sensitisation Also more healthcare workers were willing to recommend the vaccine to others (70.6% compared to 40.2%).
CONCLUSION: We found that the sensitizing program showed significant change in the knowledge, attitude, and willingness among the HCWs. This provides further opportunities for development of similar educational and awareness programmes for HCWs and for the general population.
GENETIC VARIATION OF FOLATE METABOLIC PATHWAY IN RECURRENT PREGNANCY LOSS- A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: S Sowmya , Ayyali Ambresh , KR Vidya , HN Nagesh
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a discrete disorder, which is defined as loss of two or more clinically recognized pregnancies. The increasing incidence of RPL in recent days may be due to, chromosomal and congenital abnormalities, antiphospholipid syndrome, uterine anomalies, hereditary thrombophilia, autoimmunity and environmental factors, but the cause of RPL still remains undetermined in the majority of cases.Folate deficiency is one the causes for congenital abnormalities which may leads to pregnancy losses. Any deficiency in the folate metabolic pathway leads to low levels of folate, which has been associated with abnormalities in both mothers (anemia) and fetuses (congenital abnormalities). Also it is associated with increased homocysteine levels which may contribute in these conditions1.
Objectives: Study of folate metabolism status in RPL by correlating the association between 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR)
Data Sources: Data from Pubmed, EMBASE, MEDLINE and many other data baseswere searched. Similar strategy were applied for each article search.
Study selection: the review was restricted to studies on recurrent pregnancy loss, Folate metabolism, MTHFR gene and study statistics.
Results:A hypothesis was drawn from different studies and a positive link was observed in MTHFR gene alleles mutation, hyperhomocysteinaemia and recurrent pregnancy loss.
Conclusion:Understanding the molecular genetics of folate metabolic pathway will provide newer avenues in the effective management of pregnancy losses due to low folate level (in MTHFR gene polymorphism) with supplementation of folic acid or L-methylfolate.

Authors: Trúc Nguyễn Bích Nhã
Published: September 2022

Sáng tác của Murakami Haruki thường mang tính ẩn dụ, gợi sự liên tưởng đến các chủ đề trong những câu chuyện huyền thoại của Nhật Bản và phương Tây. Nhà văn đã sử dụng sáng tạo các cổ mẫu để truyền đạt những thông điệp tư tưởng của mình. Hang là một trong số các cổ mẫu quan trọng, được nhà văn thường xuyên vận dụng để xây dựng không gian trong tiểu thuyết. Thông qua cổ mẫu hang, Murakami không chỉ thể hiện cách nhìn của ông về mô hình cấu tạo thế giới – không gian sống của con người, mà còn truyền tải tư tưởng về một thế giới tinh thần sâu kín và đa diện của con người hiện đại. Vận dụng phương pháp phê bình cổ mẫu và huyền thoại học cổ mẫu, bài viết hướng đến mục tiêu chỉ ra sự đa dạng của các dạng thức hang và khám phá những ý nghĩa sâu sắc mà cổ mẫu này gợi ra trong tiểu thuyết Murakami, qua khảo sát một số tác phẩm tiêu biểu: Xứ sở kì diệu bạo tàn và chốn tận cùng thế giới, Biên niên kí chim vặn dây cót, 1Q84 và Giết chỉ huy đội kị sĩ.

SPORTS ETHICS IN TERMS OF HISTORICAL AND SOCIAL PROGRESS
Authors: ŞAKAR Murat
Published: September 2022

Sport provides vitality to people in terms of its benefits to physical and mental health, and mentality (openness of mind) in terms of its contribution to mind and intelligence. With these effective features that surround the human being, sport has existed in various forms since ancient times. This historical existence of sports can be easily observed through sportive activities that stand out in different cultures. Each society has developed sports activities and games that reflect their own worldviews, traditions and customs, in accordance with their own historical and social identity. Therefore, sport is an philosophical phenomenon that is experienced by people of all ages, has local and universal qualities, and has socio-psycho-cultural and aesthetic dimensions. Sport is the subject of philosophy with its ontological, epistemological, aesthetic, ethical and even economic dimensions. Today, it is seen that sports events are the market element with the highest market value. The capitalist economy, dominated by mone-hedonism, does not comply with the universal values of sports, which care about friendship and brotherhood, and prohibit all kinds of discrimination, aiming to reach the best and the most beautiful. The main purpose of sports is to give people vitality, mentality, joy of life, sense of brotherhood, universal human values and in this context, the principle of sportive virtue (fair play). In this article, sports ethics will be discussed in terms of its historical and social course in the context of sports philosophy.
ROBUSTNESS AND CIVILITY: THEMES FROM FETHULLAH GÜLEN AS RESOURCE AND CHALLENGE FOR GOVERNMENT, MUSLIMS AND CIVIL SOCIETY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
Authors: Weller Paul
Published: September 2022

The 7/7 (2005) attack on London Transport by Muslims brought up in the UK shocked the Government, many Muslims, and the wider civil society. Subsequently, the UK’s ‘multi- culturalist’ policy consensus has been subject to intensive questioning. Politicians and some parts of civil society have challenged a perceived ‘separatism’ among Muslims; emphasised a need for shared values and social cohesion; and advocated the promotion of ‘moderate Islam’ and ‘moderate Muslims’. This paper argues that, in legitimising simplistic distinctions between ‘good’ (understood as ‘liberal’ or ‘modernist’) and ‘bad’ or ‘suspect’ (understood as ‘traditionalist’, ‘radical’ or ‘fundamentalist’) Muslims and forms of Islam, there is a risk of eliding the condemnation of terrorist crimes conducted on religious grounds into the criminalisation, or at least social marginalisation, of religious conservatism and/or radicalism. This approach, it is argued, is more likely to undermine the development of inclusive approaches to the common good and that what is needed instead are authentically Islamic approaches that can offer both a resource and a challenge to Government, Muslims and the wider civil society. Finally, it is argued that such resource and challenge can be found in themes from Fethullah Gülen’s teaching. Gülen, on Islamic grounds, condemns terrorism in the name of religion. Further, being rooted in a confident Ottoman Muslim civilisational heritage and having during the period of the Turkish Republic engaged with both ideological ‘secularism’ and political ‘Islamism’, he also offers a critique of the political instrumentalisation of Islam while ar- guing for an active Muslim engagement with the wider (religious and secular) society based on a distinctive Islamic vision characterised by a robustness and civility that could make a positive contribution in the present UK context.
PREACHING BY EXAMPLE AND LEARNING FOR LIFE: UNDERSTANDING THE GÜLEN HIZMET IN THE GLOBAL CONTEXT OF RELIGIOUS PHILANTHROPY AND CIVIL RELIGION
Authors: Barton Greg
Published: September 2022

The Gülen movement, or hizmet, is often misunderstood, and this is in large measure because it is unlike anything else in the Muslim world, though the Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama mass-based organisations of Indonesia do bear some resemblance. However, there is no good reason to limit comparisons to the Muslim world. As a social movement motivated by religious values and the ideals of selfless service, engaged in philan- thropic endeavour and active in the civil sphere, the Gülen hizmet deserves comparison with other such movements around the globe. This paper looks outside the geographic and cultural context of the Muslim world to demon- strate that the Gülen hizmet shares much in common with many Western, Christian, philan- thropic initiatives in education and public discourse of the past three centuries, particularly in North America. The utility of this comparison is that it helps us to understand better aspects of the Gülen hizmet that cannot be easily understood in the limited context of the Muslim world. It also helps break down some of the ‘us and them’ barriers that divide Christians and Muslims, and east and west, by allowing us to recognise common concerns, values and shared experiences. The paper also explores the concept of civil religion in the twenty-first century, examines ways in which religious philanthropic activity can contribute to the development of non- exclusivist civil religion and apply these insights to the Gülen hizmet to argue that the hizmet models an interesting modern Islamic alternative to Islamism.
GÜLEN AND HIS GLOBAL CONTRIBUTION TO PEACE-BUILDING
Authors: Saritoprak Zeki
Published: September 2022

Fethullah Gülen is one of the most influential scholars and thinkers in the contemporary Islamic world, particularly in Turkey. Although recent studies have put forward Gülen’s ideas on various topics, Gülen’s approach to peace building is one of the less studied. Given the contemporary reality of wars and ethnic/religious strife, this is a neglect that needs to be corrected. Fethullah Gülen stands up for peace and for the prevention of any clash of civilisa- tions, not only through his speeches and writing, but through his actions as well. This paper examines the concept of peace building through Gülen’s writings and activities with refer- ence to the main sources of Islam and Gülen’s commentary on them. In focusing on Gülen’s activities, the paper emphasises certain American institutions, notably the Washington D.C. based Rumi Forum for Interfaith Dialogue (of which Gülen is the honorary president), and its contribution to peace-building through interfaith activities.
THE WORK OF FETHULLAH GÜLEN & THE ROLE OF NON-VIOLENCE IN A TIME OF TERROR
Authors: Wright Steve
Published: September 2022

We are living in dangerous times. We can anticipate further polarisation between Islam and the West as the official line becomes more focused on achieving military solutions to what are essentially political and cultural issues. Fethullah Gülen is unusual in adding a distinctly Islamic voice to the calls for a non-violent approach to conflict resolution. The notion of peace through peace has a rich Western tradi- tion from Tolstoy to Martin Luther King. In the East, all of those active in peace movements today acknowledge a debt to Mahatma Gandhi. These writers continue to influence peace activists such as Gene Sharp, whose work was directly channelled to assist in the recent, relatively peaceful, revolutions in former Soviet states such as the Ukraine. This paper examines the peace-building work of Gülen within wider concepts of non-vio- lence in order to explore their lessons for modern Islam’s transition. It is important for the conference to hear something of past voices and experiences, and the lessons learned from them, which can further inspire those in Islam who wish to move towards future peace using peaceful, non-violent activities. This goal is particularly pertinent in a time of terror when existing counter-insurgency meth- ods readily provoke a violent response, which justifies more violence and repression. The paper is illustrated to ensure accessibility of the examples for those less familiar with non-violent action dedicated to achieving social change.
TURKISH MUSLIMS AND ISLAMIC TURKEY: PERSPECTIVES FOR A NEW EUROPEAN ISLAMIC IDENTITY?
Authors: Hettiarachchi Shanthikumar
Published: September 2022

The paper discusses the potential of Fethullah Gülen’s thinking on the revival of core socio- ethical tenets of Islam to influence an emerging European Islamic identity. The long absence of any substantial Muslim population from the religious landscape of western Europe in the modern period began to end with the post-War immigration of Muslims from South Asia to the UK and other parts of Europe. But Muslims from other parts of the Islamic world have also established communities in Europe with their own, different expressions of Islam. The presence of Muslims represents a religio-cultural counterpoint to the projected ‘post-Chris- tian society of Europe’, since they are now permanently settled within that society. The encounter of ‘Turkish Islam’ (Anatolian & other) and the majority ‘South Asian Islam’ (with its diverse strands, Barelvi, Deobandi and others) in western Europe hints at the build- ing of a new ‘European Islamic’ identity. Arguably, this twenty-first century ‘European Islam’ might be a synthesis of the ‘Turkish’ and the ‘South Asian’ expressions of Islam. Any dishar- mony, on the other hand, might kindle yet another rivalry in the heart of Europe. This paper considers whether Gülen’s thought on community education based on the fundamentals of Islam could help build a positive and fresh expression of Islam that may reform the prevailing image of it as a cultural tradition that resorts to violence in order to redress grievances.
STRIVING IN THE PATH OF GOD: FETHULLAH GÜLEN’S VIEWS ON JIHAD
Authors: Afsaruddin Asma
Published: September 2022

Jihad (‘struggle’, ‘striving’) in the Qur’an and Sunnah is a term with multiple inflections. The reiterated Qur’anic phrase al-jihad fi sabil Allah (‘striving in the path of God’) allows for that striving to be accomplished in myriad ways. After surveying a range of exegeses of relevant Qur’anic verses and early hadith works, the paper shows how fully Fethullah Gülen’s empha- sis on jihad as a means of personal, moral, spiritual and social renewal and transformation is in line with the earliest meanings found in exegetical and hadith works. Such a traditional, historical understanding runs counter to recent, polemical assertions that jihad is a monova- lent term requiring unremitting armed combat against non-Muslims. The paper demonstrates that contemporary Muslim thinkers like Gülen, who offer a more expansive and multi-facet- ed reading of what it means to ‘strive in the path of God’, are harking back to earlier, and thus more historically authentic, understandings of jihad and its moral purview. The Arabic term jihad has primarily come to mean “armed struggle/combat” and is frequently translated into English as “holy war.” And yet a close scrutiny of the occurrence of this term in the Qur’an and early hadith literature in particular demonstrates that this exclusive under- standing of the term cannot be supported for the formative period of Islam. In the Qur’an the phrase “fi sabil Allah,” meaning “in the path of God” or “for the sake of God,” is frequently conjoined to al-jihad. The full Arabic expression “al-jihad fi sabil Allah” means “striving/ struggling in the path of God” in the broadest sense. In the supporting hadith and exegetical literature, this human struggle for the noblest purpose – that is, to win God’s approval– is manifested in multiple ways. This paper will discuss the multiple meanings of jihad as evident in the Qur’an, exegeses, and hadith literature, particularly from the early period. After having established the broad range of meanings assigned to jihad in these sources, I will then proceed to discuss Fethullah Gülen’s understanding of jihad and its relevance for contemporary Muslims. It will be argued that his understanding of jihad replicates the polyvalence of this term in Qur’an and hadith literature and that his emphasis on both its spiritual and physical dimensions is timely and relevant today, especially in the wake of the appropriation of this term as a relentlessly mili- tant activity by contemporary extremist groups.
When the Cheese Moves: How Arab and Jewish Education Students Perceive the Transition to Distance Practical Teaching During the Covid-19 Crisis
Authors: Majadly Haifaa , Nikritin Daniel
Published: September 2022

The goal of the current study was to examine teaching students’ positions and perceptions regarding the transition to an online format for practical teaching during Covid-19, and whether differences exist between Jewish and Arab students’ positions. The study also examines teaching students’ technological and pedagogical self-efficacies for distance teaching and the extent of differences between the Arab and Jewish students’ self-efficacies. In addition, the study examined which background and personality variables predict positions and perceptions. The findings are based on a questionnaire completed by 279 Arab and Jewish teaching students from two Israeli teacher education colleges that transitioned to online practical teaching as a result of the Covid-19 crisis. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted to gain a deeper understanding of the questionnaire findings and to expand on topics not referred to in the questionnaire. The study reveals that teaching students accept the importance of the distance teaching experience during training in order to prepare them for the changing reality. Nevertheless, this cannot fully replace field experience because of the need for support and the limited ability to learn from the distance experience about face-to-face teaching.
Teachers’ Experiences with and Helping Behaviour Towards Students with Mental Health Problems
Authors: Dey Michelle , Marti Laurent , Jorm Anthony F.
Published: September 2022

The aim of the current study was to examine secondary school teachers’ experiences with and helping behaviour towards students with mental health problems. Data from 176 teachers were analysed. Altogether, 91.5% of participating teachers reported that they already had students with a mental health problem (particularly mood disorders) in their classes. About ¾ of teachers (74.7%) were also willing to help a student with a mental health problem, particularly by listening attentively or by recommending professional help. The self-rated mental health literacy of teachers was significantly and positively associated with help provision and with the assessment that ‘asking students about suicidal thoughts’ is helpful. In contrast, the perception of not having the necessary experience/training to help or that other people are better suited to help were seen as barriers to providing help. Based on the results, it is concluded that increasing teachers’ mental health literacy and the confidence in their ability to help (including asking students about suicidal thoughts) might increase their helping behaviour directed towards students with mental health problems.

Practice-driven Difficulties and Need-driven Plausibility for the Utilization of Robotic and Autonomous Construction Systems in Nigeria
Authors: Oluseye O , Godwin Ehis O , Aigbavboa C
Published: September 2022

The retrofitting of common construction plants and equipment with the robotic system has some way or another crossed over the technological gaps between economically advanced and backward counties. This implies that economically and technologically disadvantaged countries like Nigeria are by implication taking advantage of the efficiency, quality, and safety benefits of construction robots. This study researches the status quo and future of construction robotic and autonomous construction systems in Nigeria. The legitimacy of the research was determined by positivism philosophy. The research was targeted at construction organizations in Lagos State. The research’s findings support the utilization of robotic and autonomous construction systems (RACS) (mostly portable equipment) in terms of intelligent construction systems. The findings also revealed that the greatest obstruction to the use of RACS is the assumption that the construction sector is a mass employer of labor. Accordingly, the study concluded that those that are utilizing RACS primarily embrace it for work efficiency.
Fuel Saving Indeks Assessment on Driving Behavior Control System Prototype Model Using Neural Network
Authors: Munahar Suroto , Triwiyatno Aris , Munadi M , Setiawan Joga Dharma
Published: September 2022

Efficient fuel consumption in the world is essential in automotive technology development due to the increase in vehicle usage and the decrease in global oil production. Several studies have been conducted to increase fuel consumption savings, Fuel Cells (FCs), the application of alternative energy vehicles and the Engine Control Unit (ECU) system. FCs do not require oil energy to propel the vehicle, so this technology promises to reduce energy consumption and emissions. However, this research still leaves problems. FCs are susceptible to short circuit hazards, and ownership costs are very high. Alternative energy applications produce less power, less responsive acceleration, and insufficient energy sources to enter mass production. The ECU application still has an orientation toward achieving stoichiometry values, so the increase in fuel efficiency has the potential to be improved. Driving behavior is a variable that has a close relationship with fuel consumption efficiency. However, research on driving behavior is only studied for implementation in autonomous car-following technologies, safety systems, charging needs characteristic of electric vehicles, emission controls, and display images on in-vehicle information systems. Meanwhile, research on driving behavior as a control system to improve fuel efficiency has not been carried out. To that end, this study proposes the use of driving behavior for a newly designed control system to improve fuel efficiency. The control system in this research is a prototype model to be assessed using the Fuel Saving Index (FSI) analysis. An artificial neural network is used to help the recognition of driving behavior. The results showed that the newly designed control system was categorized on scale IV of FSI. On this scale, the power generated by the engine is quite optimal when it is in the eco-scheme driving behavior. The driving behavior control system can significantly improve the efficiency of fuel consumption. Air to Fuel Ratio (AFR) is achieved above the stoichiometric value

Graduate Employability: The Case of Botswana Open University, Certificate in Vocational Education and Training (CVET)
Authors: Sanoto Deborah , Moagi Tebogo Mokwene , Lekgoa Malebogo
Published: September 2022

Graduate employability has been a topic of interest to governments, training institutions, industry and graduates. In 2009 Botswana Training Authority (BOTA) identified a gap in the market of the lack of training skills among the trainers for the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). To close the gap, BOTA developed the unit standards for the training of trainers programme. The Botswana Open University (BOU) together with other higher education institutions adopted this program in 2016 and offered the training to the in-service as well as prospective trainers. The program is offered for a duration of 6 months. The study employed the qualitative research approach, which consisted of unstructured interviews to explore the perceptions of the employability of CVET graduates and their incorporation of employability skills acquired from the programme. A purposive sample of 20 graduates from five regional campuses were interviewed, premised on the overarching question: To what extent does CVET improve on the employability of its graduates? The findings of the study show that the CVET program is not only one of the popular short programs but its graduates are also employable.
A Lesson Plan Toolkit for Post Pandemic Education
Authors: Gamage Sujata , Saleh Anis
Published: September 2022

Novel approaches to learning such as student-centered learning, self-directed learning, hybrid learning, and flipped classrooms were not just theories but imperatives for engaging students in education in distance mode during the pandemic, but teachers were not fully prepared to take advantage of the opportunity. For those who tried, evaluating student learning as expected by parents and school authorities proved to be difficult because traditional summative tests do not capture the extent of learning through these new approaches. // Abridging the curricula too was a necessity during the pandemic but most education systems could not respond to this need in time. // The present paper describes the development and application of a toolkit for middle school students in Sri Lanka which allows teachers to develop lesson plans covering the full array of learning outcomes defined in the national curriculum but focusing on the essential learning outcomes, and include (1) pre-activities that guide students to read the textbooks on their own and learn in flipped-classroom mode, (2) activities that can be carried out at home or at school in hybrid mode, and (3) assessments that are authentic because they assess students’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes in reference to the activities they carried out.
Harnessing Technology Affordances for Learner-centred Experiences in a MOOC
Authors: Musomba Patricia , Faith Malusi , Mwibanda Linda , Eddah Murrey
Published: September 2022

The past decade has seen more learning institutions adopt MOOCs towards improved course delivery, student engagement, and access to education. Facilitation remains a critical factor in the success of online learning as learners in disparate locations and with varying technology infrastructure need to be supported to achieve both their individual and collaborative goals in a MOOC. This paper reports on an innovative approach in the co-creation and facilitation of two cybersecurity MOOCs supported by the Commonwealth of Learning. We report on the utilisation of the MOOC platform and video conferencing technologies for support and engagement with participants. Besides the in-built learning analytics tools on the platform, we discuss other technologies that were integrated for more efficient data collection and qualitative analysis of feedback from participants. To ensure that participants could access and implement the security solutions covered in the course, we present ways in which they harnessed native capabilities within their existing operating systems (OS) to complete learning tasks. Finally, the use of free and open-source software is explored for various use cases such as data recovery, secure communication, and emerging technologies. The paper provides an innovative approach to incorporating technology affordances for learner-centred experiences in a MOOC.

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) a pseudo cereal belongs to family “Chenopodiaceae” containing a good quantity of essential micronutrients especially calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc etc. along with basic nutrients. Quinoa seeds are not true grains and not considered as fruit so they are considered as pseudo-cereal as well as pseudo oil seeds. The reason behind the calling pseudo oil seed is that quinoa has well and balance quantity and quality of fats and proteins. The present study was designed to develop quinoa supplemented cookies by using quinoa flour to overcome the threat of malnutrition. For this, quinoa flour was produced through milling process and analyzed for nutritional profile. Afterwards quinoa supplemented cookies were developed by using 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% quinoa flour. Then physico-chemical as well as organoleptic properties of these quinoa supplemented cookies were assessed. Physicochemical results indicated that spread factor ratio and moisture were ranged from 10.74-9.51 and 2.5-3%, respectively due to variation in concentration on quinoa. Similarly, protein and fat contents were significantly increased with elevation in concentration of quinoa. Organoleptic evaluation indicated that quinoa supplementation up to 20% was acceptable by the consumer.
