Akimiski Island, Nunavut, Canada: The Use of Cree Oral History and Sea-Level Retrodiction to Resolve Aboriginal Title
Authors: Tsuji Leonard J.S. , General Zachariah , Tsuji Stephen R.J. , Powell Evelyn , Latychev Konstantin , Clark Jorie , Mitrovica Jerry X.
Published: December 2020

On 1 April 1999, Akimiski Island of the western James Bay region of northern Ontario, Canada, was included in the newly formed territory of Nunavut, Canada—an Inuit-dominated territory—even though the Inuit had never asserted Aboriginal title to the island. By contrast, the Omushkegowuk Cree of the western James Bay region have asserted Aboriginal title to Akimiski Island. The Government of Canada by their action (or inaction) has reversed the onus of responsibility for proof of Aboriginal title from the Inuit to the Cree. In other words, the Government of Canada did not follow their own guidelines and the common-law test for proof of Aboriginal title. In this paper, we documented and employed Cree oral history as well as a sea-level retrodiction (based on state-of-the-art numerical modeling of past sea-level changes in James Bay), which incorporated a modified ICE-6G ice history and a 3-D model of Earth structure, to establish that criterion 2 of the test for Aboriginal title has now been fully met. In other words, Cree traditional use and occupancy of Akimiski Island was considered sufficiently factual at the time of assertion of sovereignty by European nations. As all the criteria of the common-law test for proof of Aboriginal title in Canada, with respect to Akimiski Island, have now been addressed, the Cree have sufficient basis to initiate the process of a formal land claim.
Frequent Flooding and Perceived Adaptive Capacity of Subarctic Kashechewan First Nation, Canada
Authors: Khalafzai Muhammad-Arshad K. , McGee Tara K. , Parlee Brenda
Published: December 2020

Perceived (socio-cognitive) capacity is as important as objective (material resources) capacity in assessing the overall adaptive capacity of people at the community level. Higher perceived and objective capacities generate greater total adaptive capacity. This article assesses the perceived adaptive capacity of the Kashechewan First Nation, located in the flood-prone southwestern James Bay (Subarctic) region in Canada. The community is frequently disrupted by the elevated risk of spring flooding and has experienced five major floods since its establishment in 1957. Residents have been evacuated 14 times since 2004 because of actual flooding or flooding risk and potential dike failure. We surveyed 90 residents using 21 indicators to assess the community’s perceived adaptive capacity. The results indicate that residents’ risk perception and perceived adaptive capacity are high and are reshaping their adaptive behavior to the hazard of spring flooding. The strong positive interrelationships between human capital, social capital, governance, and other determinants, such as migration, personal resilience, and experience, also suggest high perceived adaptive capacity. Human capital and the other determinants are relatively higher contributors to the perceived adaptive capacity, followed by social capital and governance determinants. The results also indicate that residents’ disaster preparedness has also improved. The elevated flooding risk and frequently occurring emergencies have motivated the First Nation to modify their spontaneous and proactive adaptation responses for disaster risk reduction at the individual, household, and band levels. Planning to adapt to natural hazards to mitigate their impacts also requires a nuanced understanding of the perceived adaptive capacity that contributes to overall adaptive capacity. Translating the high perceived adaptive capacity into greater total adaptive capacity would contribute to enhancing community resilience.
Impact of school locale on pupils’ competencies in selected subjects. Does it matter more for specific regions in Ghana?
Authors: Nyatsikor Maxwell Kwesi , Abroampa Winston Kwame , Esia-Donkoh Kweku
Published: December 2020

This study examined the impact of school locale on pupils’ competencies in the English language and mathematics tests. The sample comprised 16,481 Primary 3 and 14,495 Primary 6 pupils from 448 and 426 schools respectively. The schools were selected using the stratified random sampling technique and the data analysed using a multilevel modelling technique. There was a statistically significant impact of school locale on the national and regional level achievements in both subjects. Rural schools were consistently associated with lower achievement except for the Northern region. The findings suggest that it significantly mattered which part of the country a child attends school in Ghana. This runs counter to the nation’s educational policies and the realisation of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal 4. Hence, to provide quality and inclusive education for all pupils, resources for schools and communities should be equitably distributed and effectively utilised.

Authors: Ayaga Godfrey Nyaoga , Okaya Edward Khasakhala
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACTBased on the findings of the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) needs assessment study carried out in 2016, international best practices in education systems and curriculum reforms, and a desire to make learning more meaningful for the Kenyan scholar Government's initiated an overhaul the 8–4–4 education structure to Competency-based learning because it did not promote wholesome learning. Competency-based education and training is an approach to teaching and learning more often used in learning concrete skills than abstract learning. Early Childhood Development and Education has greatly been compromised globally. The EFA’s first goal stipulated that it is the responsibility of every Government to expand and enhance comprehensive Early Childhood Education. In this regard, provision of quality of the environment is very key in enhancing learning. This paper presents results from a study that was conducted in Borabu Sub-county in Kenya to determine the implication of outdoor environment on children’s learning experiences in public preschools. The major findings includes: the general state of outdoor environment component was unsatisfactory; there was a positive relationship between the state outdoor environment and pre-schoolers learning experiences related to preschool children’s ability to performing various loco-motor activities and rhythmic movement activities and general academic achievement. The results further indicated that when all the four states of outdoor (the site, availability, adequacy and effectiveness) investigated combined together explained 35.2% of the variance in the preschool overall learning experiences. The results from observation and interview schedules indicated that a rich outdoor environment had a positive influence on preschool children‘s development of various social, emotional and cognitive skills. The study recommends that teachers and pupils should participate in outdoor play. In addition, the government should put in place policy guidelines to all pre-schools with regard to the availability, adequacy and effectiveness of outdoor environment.Key Words: Competency-Based Curriculum; Outdoor Environment; Availability; Adequacy; Effectiveness; Learning Experiences
Education for Sustainable Development in Kenya: Rhetoric and Reality in Basic Education
Authors: Nyatuka Benard O.
Published: December 2020

Education for sustainable development (ESD) is increasingly being recognized as a critical element of education systems and facilitator of sustainable development. This is because its ultimate goal is to foster ideal teaching, learning, policies and practices needed to enhance social, economic, ecological viability and wellbeing for the present and future generations. Embracing ESD could therefore, facilitate realization of objectives of the Competence- Based Curriculum (CBC) that Kenya has rolled out. Particularly, the CBC is expected to foster acquisition of core competencies like creativity, problem-solving, and self-efficacy. But, limited understanding, inappropriate pedagogical approaches, and weak collaboration among key stakeholders are some of the challenges that face application of ESD. This paper consolidates and discusses the pertinent ESD aspects to successful implementation of the CBC in basic education in Kenya. Specifically, elucidated are the underpinning pedagogical theories and their implications, relevant legal and policy frameworks, some success stories, challenges and proposed solutions.

TOPLUMSAL CİNSİYET ROLLERİ VE KALIPYARGILARI BAĞLAMINDA KADININ MEDYADA METALAŞMASI
Authors: VATANDAŞ Saniye
Published: December 2020

Her birey biyolojik anlamda ‘er’ veya ‘dişi’ olarak doğar ve bu özelliğine bağlı olarak toplumsal yapı içinde ‘erkek’ veya ‘kadın’ olarak yerini alıp, toplumsal rollerini üstlenir. Dolayısıyla cinsiyetin biri biyolojik (sex), diğeri toplumsal (gender) boyutta anlam ve işlev kazanan iki ayrı boyutu vardır. Bu iki boyut birbirinden ayrı olmasına rağmen, ne var ki çoğu kimse açısından bunlar birbirinin aynısı veya ikincisi birincisinin doğal ve zorunlu sonucu kabul edilmektedir. Bu ise toplumsal roller açısından iki cins arasında ayrıma yol açmakta ve cinslerden birisine yönelik mağduriyetlere neden olabilmektedir. Kadının toplumsal ilişkilerdeki mağduriyeti bu durumun bir sonucu olarak anlam kazanmaktadır. Bazı medya unsurlarının kadın algısını yansıtan haberler söz konusu durumun tipik örneklerinden birisidir. Bu araştırmada öncelikle literatür taraması yapılarak ‘cinsiyet’ (sex) ‘toplumsal cinsiyet’ (gender) ayrımının biyolojik ve toplumsal boyutları incelenmiştir. Söz konusu ayrım üzerinde yaşanan karmaşanın kadını bir tüketim nesnesine dönüştürebileceğinin örnekleri ise medyada yer alan haberler üzerinden ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.

Ideology of Meritocracy in Education – Social Reconstructions of (In)equality
Authors: Sobczak Anna
Published: December 2020

The aim of the article is to reconstruct the theory of meritocracy, according to which each individual has an equal opportunities, regardless of gender, race, and origin, to achieve social and professional success. The author has also attempted to answer the question whether in the current social reality, in which we deal with overeducation and academic diploma inflation, the meritocratic belief about the exclusive influence of individual talents and merits on social and professional success finds its confirmation in social practice. The genesis, essence and directions of criticism of the concept of meritocracy are presented. The article points out that the ideology of meritocracy, despite its egalitarian assumptions, which undoubtedly contributed to the democratization of education, especially at the higher level, confirms social inequalities.

Published: December 2020

25 февраля 2020 года в Дублине прошло публичное собрание партии Шинн Фейн, которая запланировала провести голосование среди ирландцев по вопросу объединения Ирландии. В случае положительного результата у партии возникнут весомые основания для того, чтобы потребовать от британского правительства соответствующий референдум. На фоне последних событий позиции Шинн Фейн усилились – её северному крылу во главе с Мишель О’Нил удалось заключить соглашение с юнионистами и восстановить работу Североирландской Ассамблеи в январе 2020 года, а южное крыло, возглавляемое Мэри Лу Макдональд, заняло второе место на парламентских выборах в Республике Ирландия в феврале 2020 года. План объединения Ирландии после брекзита становится для ирландских националистов еще более достижимым в условиях, когда Соединенное Королевство занято переговорами с ЕС.

Published: December 2020

Medicinal cupping is one of the traditional treatment methods that is trusted to give many benefits to the human health and still practising by various culture and societies around the world. The purposes of this treatment are to allow the toxin leaves the body,to stimulate the muscles and also helping in healing process for various diseases. The process start by placing special heated cups on specific points to create suction, then the points will be punctured. Each disease has specific cupping points to be cupped which located on the human nerves system. All the points actually connected to each other where a simple graph can be formed. Since there are limited studies that discuss medicinal cupping in a mathematics view, thus this research is conducted to introduce the easiest way  on demonstrating the cupping points on the human nerves system by using the idea of graph. Hence, new definition of nerve vertex, nerve edge and nerve graph will be defined. Moreover, the idea of graph colouring will be applied to determine the optimal number of cupping points.

Introduction. The article provides an overview and examines the problem of reliability and validity of models and tools for assessing teacher shortages. The purpose of the article is to determine the capabilities of mathematical modeling tools for the system of assessing teacher shortages. Materials and Methods. The research is based on measuring students’ intentions to enter the teaching profession using mathematical modeling tools. The main methodological principle of the research is a systematic approach. Based on the data obtained from a survey of 1,797 undergraduate and postgraduate students at Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical University named after V. P. Astafiev, the method of multiple regression analysis is used. Results. The main results are that the authors investigated the capabilities of using mathematical modeling tools to assess teacher shortages (multiple regression analysis). It was found that the decision of teacher education students to enter the teaching profession does not depend on their socio-demographic characteristics (gender, year of study, place of residence, field of study, etc.) and is directly related to the characteristics of students’ attitudes to the University, their chosen profession, and professional development. There is a direct dependence of plans to start a teaching career on the self-assessment of their choice of the university. The probability of choosing a teaching career is determined by the ideas of professional development and is directly related to ‘improving skills in the subject area’; ‘mastering meta-competencies: analyzing and reflecting on their activities, evaluating and presenting results, etc.’, ‘mastering new techniques’, ‘transferring knowledge and skills to others, sharing experience’. The authors identified the capacity of using multiple regression analysis for assessing teacher shortages. The authors found that in solving this type of problems, it is reasonable to use empirical mathematical models, which include multiple regression analysis. Conclusions. The article concludes that the mathematical model of multiple regression analysis is a tool for comprehensive assessment. The authors note that multiple regression analysis, as a method of mathematical modeling, allows evaluating the activity in the unity of all characteristics and can be used in the assessment of teacher shortages. The data obtained serve as basic indicators and are used to establish links and relationships between choosing a teacher education degree programme and the intention to pursue a teaching career.

Along with the times present contemporary Javanese songs with new music genres, including campursari, dangdut koplo, and hip hop. Contemporary Javanese songs are free songs by combining diatonic and pentatonic tones, without having to fulfill basic rules. By maintaining the authenticity of Javanese lyrics, there is the use of Indonesian in contemporary Javanese song lyrics. This research will examine how the use of Indonesian in contemporary Javanese song lyrics from the morphological aspects, especially those in the form of basic words and affixed words. There are three stages of strategy in this study, namely the stage of data filtering, data analysis, and presentation of the results of data analysis. The selection of data through observation is done using the basic technique, which is tapping. The tapping technique is followed by the advanced technique, which is a competent, free listening technique. The note taking technique as an advanced technique is also carried out to record the results of data listening on the data card in the form of transcription. Data analysis was performed to find out how to use Indonesian in contemporary Javanese song lyrics based on morphological aspects, especially those in the form of basic words and affixed words. It can be described that in addition to maintaining Javanese language, contemporary Javanese song lyrics also use Indonesian to convey expression and achieve aesthetics in song. Morphologically, the form of words used in relation to the use of Indonesian in contemporary Javanese song lyrics is the basic word and affix word. Basic words in the form of words that have not undergone a morphological process. Affixes used in contemporary Javanese song lyrics are suffixes, suffixes, and confixes. The affixes used are ber-, di-, meN-, ter-, and peN-. Suffixes in the form of -an, -ku, -mu, -i, -nya, and -pun. Meanwhile, there are also confixes ke-/-an, peN-/-an, di-/-kan, and meN-/-i.
Macroeconomic Effects of Trade Tariffs: A Case Study of the U.S.-China Trade War Effects on the Economy of the United States
Authors: Žemaitytė Sandra , Urbšienė Laimutė
Published: December 2020

This paper explores the macroeconomic effects of trade tariffs in the context of the recent trade conflict between the United States and China. The focus is laid on two trade war scenarios, and one of them takes into account the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global trade flows. After deploying the partial equilibrium SMART model, the authors conclude that solely due to the trade war with China, in 2020, the US total trade balance will improve by 41,020 million USD (0.21% of real GDP), while 43,777 million USD (0.22% of real GDP) of the US imports will have to be sourced from other countries. The US trade intensity with China and welfare will decline. However, our study has found that the potential economic consequences of COVID-19 will reduce the relative effects of the trade war. The study has revealed that the United States economy will benefit from the trade war, which can be explained by a relatively weak China’s retaliatory response. Nevertheless, the US agriculture and automotive sectors will suffer most.

MODEL PROBLEM SOLVING DAN MODEL PROBLEM POSING DILENGKAPI MULTI REPRESENTASI TETRAHEDRAL KIMIA DALAM MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN KONSEP SISWA AbstractA learning model has its characteristics with advantages and disadvantages. A Teacher has a particular way of delivering chemistry materials. This study aims to investigate the implementation of Thinking Aloud Pair Problem Solving (TAPPS) and Problem Posing (PP) to enhance students' conceptual understanding of the topic of the mole concept. The learning model implemented was enriched with the tetrahedral chemistry representation, which included levels of the human element, macroscopic, sub-microscopic, and symbolic. This research used a quasi-experimental method with a randomized pretest-posttest comparison group research design. Data collection used paper-and-pencil tests to sixty-four grade 10 students in a public high school in Sragen, Indonesia. Data analysis employed an independent sample t-test. The research findings indicated that the PP model was able to generate a higher degree of students' conceptual understanding than the TAPPS model and have more students with sound conceptual understanding than the TAPPS model. The chemistry teaching integrated with the tetrahedral chemistry representation increased students' sub-microscopic and symbolic levels of understanding. The new approach should be embedded in every chemistry learning model for enhancing students' understanding.AbstrakSebuah model pembelajaran mempunyai ciri tersendiri dengan kelebihan dan kekurangannya.

The Effect of Schoology on the Students’ Writing Interest
Authors: Apriliani Agustin
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACTThis research aimed to determine the effect of using Schoology as learning media on students’ writing interest. The research was done in a 2x2 experimental design with experimental and control classes selected as participants using purposive random sampling.  The two groups had the same writing ability but received different learning media treatments, Picture Series for the control class, and Schoology for the experimental class. The Tukey’s test results showed that qobtain between columns A1 and A2(3.46) was higher than qtable (2.92) proving that using Schoology in teaching writing was significantly different from Picture Series. On the other hand, qobtain between cells A1B1and A2B1(4.47) was higher than qtable (3.08) proving that using Schoology differed significantly from Picture Series in teaching writing for students who had high interest. Then qobtain between cells A1B2and A2B2(0.41) was lower than qtable (3.08) proving that using Schoology did not differ significantly from Picture Series in teaching writing for students who had low interest. This study concludes that learning writing skills using Schoology affects students' levels of learning interests. Schoology, therefore, could be an alternative learning media platform for teaching and learning writing skills.ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan media pembelajaran Schoology terhadap minat menulis siswa.

Kedua kelompok memiliki kemampuan menulis yang sama tetapi mendapat perlakuan media pembelajaran yang berbeda yaitu Picture Series untuk kelas kontrol dan Schoology untuk kelas eksperimen. Hasil uji Tukey menunjukkan bahwa qobtain antara kolom A1 dan A2 (3,46) lebih tinggi dari qtabel (2,92) yang membuktikan bahwa penggunaan Schoology dalam pengajaran menulis berbeda secara signifikan dengan Picture Series. Di sisi lain, qobtain antara sel A1B1 dan A2B1 (4,47) lebih tinggi dari qtabel (3,08) membuktikan bahwa penggunaan Schoology berbeda secara signifikan dengan Picture Series dalam pengajaran menulis untuk siswa yang memiliki minat tinggi. Kemudian qobtain antara sel A1B2 dan A2B2 (0.41) lebih rendah dari qtabel (3.08) membuktikan bahwa penggunaan Schoology tidak berbeda secara signifikan dengan Picture Series dalam pembelajaran menulis untuk siswa yang memiliki minat rendah. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pembelajaran keterampilan menulis menggunakan Schoology berpengaruh terhadap tingkat minat belajar siswa. Oleh karena itu, Schoology dapat menjadi platform media pembelajaran alternatif untuk pembelajaran keterampilan menulis.

Cekaman rendaman merupakan salah satu masalah utama yang dihadapi dalam kegiatan budidaya padi di lahan rawa lebak. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian fosfor sebelum tanaman terendam yang diharapkan mampu meningkatkan ketahanan tanaman padi terhadap cekaman rendaman. Penelitian disusun menggunakan Rancangan Petak Terbagi (Split Plot) dengan varietas padi sebagai petak utama dan waktu pemberian fosfor sebagai anak petak yang masing-masing diulang sebanyak 3 kali. Varietas padi yang digunakan yaitu IR 42, Inpari 30, dan Ciherang. Waktu pemberian fosfor terdiri dari kontrol (P0), pemberian fosfor 3 hari sebelum perendaman (P1), 7 hari sebelum perendaman (P2), dan 14 hari sebelum perendaman (P3). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Ciherang merupakan varietas yang paling terhambat pertumbuhannya akibat cekaman rendaman. Selain itu, perlakuan P2 (aplikasi fosfor pada 7 hari sebelum perendaman) menunjukkan hasil terbaik dibandingkan perlakuan lain yang secara signifikan ditunjukkan pada peubah luas daun, berat kering akar dan total berat kering tanaman pada 6 minggu setelah tanam atau 14 hari setelah perendaman. Data yang dihasilkan diharapkan mampu menjadi bahan pertimbangan dalam perbaikan teknis budidaya padi di lahan rawa lebak.  One of the major constraints of rice cultivation in the non-tidal swamp area is submergence stress, which is considered could be managed by phosphorus application before submergence in order to increase rice tolerance towards submergence stress condition. Split plot design was used in this research with three replicates. Rice cultivars served as the main plot consisted of IR42, Inpari 30, and Ciherang. While for the sub-plot was phosphorus application consisted of P0 = control, P1 = phosphorus application 3 days before submergence, P2 = phosphorus application 7 days before submergence, and P3 = phosphorus application 14 days before submergence. Results showed that Ciherang was the most affected cultivar due to submergence stress. Furthermore, P2had better performance compared to other P treatments as significantly showed in leaf area, dry root weight, and total dry weight at 6 weeks after sowing or 14 days  after  submergence. The resulted data hopefully can be used as a consideration for swamp rice cultivation improvement effort.

This article explores the diversity of ethnicities and religions in the Engganese society, which has become color in their life dynamics—local wisdom based on customary rules succeeded in uniting differences into peace. Ethnic and religious differences, which have been considered dividing the nation, did not occur in the Enggano community. This study uses a qualitative method by interviewing several vital informants who are religious or traditional leaders. The purpose of this study is to show that ethnic and religious differences can create harmony and peace in society. The results of this study are that the Enggano community is an open society that easily accepts the presence of newcomers; then that migrants get the same rights and obligations as indigenous people; also that migrants are required to give up their cultural identity when entering Enggano; that religion is a new value in the Enggano community which is not regulated by custom; and that adat has an important role in shaping the behavior of the Engganese people. These factors are the keys to peace in a multi-ethnic and multi-religious society.
