Las características afectadas por la escoria BOF C2 inerte y materia orgánica fueron: Da, PMP, E y CC, las otras características se mantuvieron o bajaron sus valores como pH, Ds, K, MO, Ca, Mg y Fe. En la planta únicamente se afectó DFF. Se puede afirmar que la aplicación de escoria BOF C2 inerte, tiene efectos benéficos sobre algunas propiedades físicas y químicas del suelo.
Kant's Racial and Moral Theories
Authors: Toensing Lauren
Published: January 2024

In the field of study of Immaneul Kant, it has become apparent that scholars must reassess his seemingly universalist moral theory in the context of his racist and otherwise bigoted thought.  In particular, many of these analyses revolve around one particular instance of anti-colonial sentiment found in Kant’s essay “Toward Perpetual Peace”.  In this paper, I engage with two attempts by Pauline Kleingeld and Lucy Allais, which argue for a primarily-universalist and primarily-racist Kant respectively.  Ultimately, I argue that Kleingeld and Allais’ analyses both fail because they prioritize philosophical motivations for Kant other than his teleology in his conceptions of morality and human nature.  I first present an analysis of Kant’s work focused around his essay “Idea for a Universal History with a Cosmopolitan Aim” that demonstrates the primacy of teleology to Kant’s system of thought, including his moral theory. I then argue that it is the nature of a teleological system such as Kant’s to establish a hierarchy, and I show how this is apparent in Kant’s work, including “Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals”.  Under this lens, it becomes clear that Kant’s exclusionary epistemology of human nature is not inconsistent with his ethics, and is easily recontextualized through his teleological perspective of human life and behavior.

Kurangnya pengetahuan masyarakat tentang kontrasepsi menyebabkan kurangnya penggunaan kontrasepsi jangka panjang seperti IUD, implant, MOW/MOP, padahal kontrasepsi jangka panjang mempunyai tingkat efektifitas yang lebih tinggi dalam pengendalian kehamilan. Pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan ibu mengenai metode kontrasepsi, khusunya ibu pascasalin sehingga dapat menentukan metode kontrasepsi yang cocok dan sesuai dengan kebutuhannya. Metode yang digunakan dalam pelaksanaan pengabdian masyarakat ini yaitu penyuluhan dengan video edukasi dan diskusi.

Authors: Meilani Ema Hilma , Putri Anggi Aulia , Putri Aulia Cahyani , Huliana Rina , Lestari Artya Asri
Published: January 2024

Sampah menjadi salah satu permasalahan utama di Indonesia saat ini. Aktivitas manusia menjadi penyebab utama meningkatkanya volume sampah setiap tahunnya. Tempat pembuangan sampah (TPS) sebagai fasilitas public hanya tersedia ditempat tempat tertentu, sedangkan limbah yang dihasilkan terutama plastic sangat mudah menumpuk karena sulit terurai. Plastik yang tidak terurai dapat didaur ulang menjadi biji plastic, dimanfaatkan untuk tempat media tanam atau dibuat material sebagai pengganti batubata (Ecobrick). Ecobrick merupakan material pengganti batubata yang berasal dari limbah plastic yang ditampung dalam sebuah botol. Pengenalan ecobrick sebagai penggunaan kembali limbah plastic perlu disebarkan kepada masyarakat luas. Oleh karena itu diperlukan upaya pengenalan dan pelatihan pembuatan ecobrick agar masyarakat memahami pemilahan sampah dan pemanfaatannya.

Authors: Nyaisa Flora Nashon
Published: January 2024

Globally, extracurricular activities promote children's readiness to master their physical, social, emotional and cognitive development. This study assessed the challenges in managing extracurricular activities toward children's physical development. The Administrative management theory by Henry Fayol and Froebel's Play Theory was employed in this study. The study employed semi-structured interviews with five pre-primary teachers, five head teachers and five sports teachers. The findings suggest the existence of the following challenges: the shortage of playing facilities in schools, a lack of some children's interest in participating in extracurricular activities, a lack of in-service training on handling extracurricular activities which promote children's physical development, tight school timetables and schedules with no space for extracurricular the participants also shortage of funds to run extracurricular activities. To address the challenges, schools started small projects for fundraising, promoting teachers' mentorship and collaboration among schools to share knowledge and skills on how extracurricular activities encourage children's physical development. Schools frequently meet with parents to emphasise the importance of extracurricular activities to their children's physical development. The study recommended that the school management team educate parents on the importance of extracurricular activities. Further, research needs to be done on the influence of physical development on a child's academic achievement.
A Protocol for Developmental Faculty Coaching at the University Level
Authors: Hartigan Timothy J.
Published: January 2024

This article discusses short-term developmental faculty coaching, which can be categorized as ongoing and personal professional development. This coaching is distinct from faculty evaluation. The developmental faculty coaching protocol discussed here is a novel one developed by the author. It was developed through direct observation of over 400 in-person and online classes of over 100 new and returning adjunct faculty at a small higher education institution in New York State, USA. The protocol was generally used with new faculty, who know an academic area, but they lack training in andragogy and have had no or little experience teaching university students. A pre-observation, during-observation, and post-observation protocol is outlined for the faculty coach and the instructor being coached. It is suggested that developmental faculty coaching be made available to all new higher education instructors and to those more experienced instructors who request it. Recommendations for future study include collecting data on individual instructors or a cohort of new instructors through quantitative and/or qualitative research, which would yield insights into how new instructors grow into excellent classroom teachers at the university level.

Authors: Kabate Martha Jacob
Published: January 2024

Letter Name Knowledge is among the most vital emergent literacy skills that predict future reading and writing among pre-primary children, and teachers are central to learning. Much has been researched on the factors influencing letter name acquisition, including the child's characteristics in the home and school environment. Less research has been done on pre-primary teachers’ views on the factors they encounter in enhancing letter name skills in children. This study investigated pre-primary teachers' challenges in enhancing letter-name knowledge among pre-primary learners in the Shinyanga District Council, Shinyanga Region. The study identified challenges pre-primary teachers encounter in enhancing letter-name knowledge. The study also assessed the challenges pre-primary teachers face in enhancing the knowledge of letter names for pre-primary children with the guidance of the Whole-Child Approach. A qualitative approach and phenomenological design were utilised for the study.20 (to the point of saturation) pre-primary teachers were involved in the interview for data collection. The obtained data were analyzed thematically. The findings identified the following challenges: pre-primary children’s use of mother tongue, inadequate teaching and learning facilities and instructional materials, lack of teachers’ professionalism, large class size and instructional burden, children absenteeism and implementation of pre-primary curriculum. In conclusion, the identified challenges influence pre-primary teachers' effectiveness in enhancing letter name knowledge acquisition for public pre-primary children in the Shinyanga region. The study recommends that the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoEST) create a mother tongue policy for pre-primary children for quality, fair and holistic comprehensive curricula provision in rural areas.

The Changing Nature of the Indian Party System: ‘Congress System’ to ‘BJP Dominance’
Authors:   Dyal Singh College, University of Delhi, Verma Vijay
Published: January 2024

In the last 75 years, the Indian political system has gone through various changes and transition phases, the clear impact of which can be seen in the Indian party system. The existence of the Congress as an important national party after independence, both at the national and state levels, in what Rajni Kothari termed the 'Congress System' (1952-1967). Morris-Jones described the 1950–1967 phase in similar terms as "coexistence with competition but without a trace of alternative". 1977 marked the beginning of the end of the 'Congress system' by Rajni Kothari, which had been facing challenges since 1967, when Congress lost power in eight states for the first time. The main reasons behind this were the rise of opposition and regional parties, allegations of corruption and scams, preference for seniority and dynasty over talent, the dominance of the Nehru-Gandhi family, failure to attract youth and the Modi wave etc. Along with this, various parties and regional parties started emerging in the opposition, which changed the Indian party system towards a multi-party system. In this form, BJP emerged as an important national party, which completely changed the party system after winning the national elections in 2014 and 2019. Some thinkers argue that 2014 marks the beginning of India's fourth party system—the first three-party system in the Congress system (1950–77), the second transitional phase (1977–89) when the dominance of the Congress was challenged, Third, the emergence and new phase of a bipolar party system in the 1990s. Can we compare BJP dominance with the 'Congress System'? What are the similarities and dissimilarities in this? What are the reasons behind the decline of 'Congress System'? All these questions will be discussed in detail.
GANDHIAN SWARAJ : A CONTINUOUS PROCESS
Authors:   Govt. VYT PG Autonomous college Durg Chhattisgarh, husain Shakeel
Published: January 2024

Gandhi was a political social activist rather than a philosopher or thinker. But the level of morality and purity in his politics was so high that it took politics to the spiritual and philosophical level.The same thing can be said for his political and social thoughts. The question of Swaraj was not just a political question for him, nor did Swaraj mean for him only the expulsion of the British from India, but for him Swaraj also meant political self-rule along with liberalism and self-control. Therefore his Swaraj is not only political but also spiritual because politics was a spiritual ( religious) work for him . Swaraj was not freedom from individuals but freedom from ideas. Swaraj was not the rule of one's own people but one's own rule over oneself, self control over body and soul. From this point of view, Locke, Mill and Rousseau are seen together in his Swarajist thoughts. From this point of view, Gandhian Swaraj goes beyond the concept of political sef rule and freedom. His Swaraj is as important a question in an independent country as in a colony or slave country. Therefore, for Gandhi, Swaraj is a continuous process and a desired goal .

Published: January 2024

The study examined the working capital management strategies of Nigerian Manufacturing Firms and effect on Corporate Performance. Working capital management was decomposed into five variables being account receivable management (ARM), account payable management (APM), inventory management (INVM), cash conversion cycle (CCC) and cash conversion efficiency (CCE) which serve as the explanatory variables of the study while Corporate Performance was proxied by Return on Assets (ROA). The data for the study were collected from the Financial Statement and Annual Accounts of the selected firms covering a data panel framework of 20 years period (2000 to 2020) and nine (9) firms specifically were selected. The analysis was based on the ARDL regression technique was used to estimate the regression model while the probability values of the ARDL regression estimates were used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The result showed that: Account receivable management strategy have long run and no short run effect on return on asset of quoted manufacturing firms in Nigeria; Account payable  management strategy have long run and no short run effect on return on asset of quoted manufacturing firms in Nigeria; Inventory management strategy have long and short run effect on return on asset of quoted manufacturing firms in Nigeria; Cash conversion cycle strategy have long and short run effect on return on asset of quoted manufacturing firms in Nigeria; and Cash conversion efficiency strategy have no long and short run effect on return on asset of quoted manufacturing firms in Nigeria. Further analysis revealed that account receivable, account payable inventory management and cash conversion efficiency had causal effects on return on assets. However, there is no causal relationship between cash conversion cycle strategy and return on asset of quoted manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The study thus concluded that working capital management strategies have significant effect on the financial performance of firms, and that the degree of effect differs by period, type of strategy and financial performance indicator. It was recommended among others that management of firms should firms increase the supplies to customers and allow credit to its customers, and firms should also explore the use of short-term credit in financing their business. The study contributed to knowledge by employing long run panel technique in investigating the working capital and firm performance nexus in Nigeria.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the relationship between bereavement, coping strategies, and psychological well-being in young adolescents. It also sought to identify any gender differences in coping mechanisms and psychological outcomes.
Methods: A correlational study design was employed, with a purposive sample of 200 adolescents (100 males and 100 females, aged 17-20 years) from five public sector colleges in Punjab. Participants were selected based on having experienced the death of one parent. The study employed a structured questionnaire, which included scales for measuring bereavement, coping strategies, and psychological well-being. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS, focusing on descriptive statistics and correlation analysis.
Results: The study found a positive correlation between the Emotion Focused Engagement Subscale and the Core Bereavement Items (r = .25**), as well as between the Emotion Focused Engagement Subscale and the Images and Thoughts Subscale (r = .23**). Additionally, a significant relationship was observed between the Emotion Focused Disengagement Subscale and the Acute Suppression Subscale (r = .24**). In terms of coping and psychological well-being, Problem Solving showed a strong positive correlation with the Psychological Well-Being Scale (r = .36**), and Cognitive Restructuring was also notably correlated (r = .46**). Gender differences were evident in the Autonomy subscale of the Psychological Wellbeing Scale.
Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of emotion-focused coping strategies in managing bereavement among adolescents. The identified correlations between specific coping strategies and psychological well-being underscore the need for targeted interventions that focus on these areas. The gender differences observed suggest that tailored approaches may be necessary to address the distinct coping needs of male and female adolescents.
Accès aux prestations parentales au Canada
Authors: Mathieu Sophie
Published: January 2024

Outre les services de garde d’enfants subventionnés, les prestations parentales constituent un outil stratégique important pour aider les parents à concilier leurs responsabilités professionnelles et parentales. Au Canada, seuls les parents en emploi qui répondent à certains critères d’admissibilité ont droit à des prestations. Or, si la naissance ou l’adoption d’un enfant entraîne de nouvelles dépenses pour l’ensemble des familles, seules certaines familles au Canada sont admissibles à de telles prestations. Au Québec, les prestations parentales sont versées par l’entremise du Régime québécois d’assurance parentale (RQAP), tandis que dans le reste du Canada, elles sont versées par le biais du régime d’assurance-emploi (AE). Alors que l’accessibilité à ce type de prestations a connu une augmentation pendant près de 30 ans (entre 1971 et 1996), le remplacement du Programme d’assurance-chômage (AC) par le régime d’assurance-emploi (AE) en 1997 a eu pour effet de restreindre l’accès des familles aux prestations parentales au Canada. Pendant la pandémie de COVID-19, les critères d’admissibilité aux prestations parentales ont été assouplis temporairement. Puis, le 25 septembre 2022, le gouvernement fédéral a discrètement rétabli les critères d’admissibilité antérieurs à la pandémie. Qu’est-ce que cela signifie pour les familles au Canada?

Authors: Ahmad Andi
Published: January 2024

The Constitutional Court (MK) safeguards the constitution, specifically the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The Constitutional Court issues a variety of legal documents, including decisions, decrees, rules, and rulings, as part of its responsibilities and jurisdiction. The ruling of the Constitutional Court carries paramount significance as a legal outcome. The ruling of the Constitutional Court is conclusive and obligatory, applying to both governmental bodies, individuals, and legal companies. The rulings made by the Constitutional Court have the power to nullify or modify laws, government regulations, presidential regulations, ministerial regulations, or regional rules that are in contradiction with the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The decrees of the Constitutional Court can establish rules for the process of reviewing cases, the selection and appointment of constitutional judges, and other subjects concerning the responsibilities and powers of the Constitutional Court. Constitutional Court rules are legally enforceable items that typically serve as regulatory measures. The regulations of the Constitutional Court might govern issues pertaining to the administration and management of the Constitutional Court, as well as other concerns concerning the responsibilities and jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court. The decisions made by the MK can govern various aspects pertaining to cases under its jurisdiction, including the determination of court expenses, the appointment of temporary judges, and other relevant topics concerning the case. The legal outputs of the Constitutional Court play a crucial role in upholding the constitution, ensuring law enforcement, and safeguarding human rights in Indonesia.

The tongue consists of various kinds of papillae which forms its characteristic morphology. These are the filiform papillae, the fungiform papillae, the circumvallate, and the foliate papillae. The foliate papillae may become enlarged and inflamed causing a condition called asFoliate Papillitis. The treatment of this disease includes relieving all causes of trauma to the region. We present a new modality of treatment for this condition by using diode laser of 980nm. Here we report on two patients with foliate papillitis. Both these patients were treated conservatively but experienced only temporary relief from pain. We used diode laser of 980 nm for their treatment and they experienced significant reduction in their pain levels. Since there is not much published literature on Foliate Papillitis or on use of lasers to treat this condition, this is being presented as an alternative treatment for patients who have foliate papillitis and do not get relief from conservative methods. At one year follow-up, both the patients were free of symptoms. We believe this is the first time that diode laser has been used for the treatment of foliate papillitis. Diode laser appears to be a good alternative treatment modality for the treatment for patients with foliate papillitis.
