An experiment was carried out to determine and compare theperformance traits of turkeys under semi-intensive and extensive systemsof management in Khartoum State, Sudan. A commercial breed of turkey(BUT Big 6) was used. Birds were kept in an open-sided, deep litterpoultry house (semi intensive system) and fenced enclosures (extensivesystem) from week 17 to weeks 24 and 28 and fed on turkey finisher andsupplement diets, respectively. Parameters assessed were feed intake,body weight, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio (for each feed),mortality and cost and profit. Results of feed intake indicated a consistentincrease with increase in age in both systems of management up to week22 followed by a consistent decrease in feed intake up to the end of theexperiment at week 28. Body weight increased with increase in age inboth systems of management up to week 24 followed by a slight increaseup to week 28. Turkeys kept under semi-intensive system of managementconsumed higher amounts of feed, gave heavier finishing weight, averageweight gain, heavier carcass weight and higher profit than those keptunder extensive system up to week 24 and lower mortality percentage andprofit from week 25 to week 28. No difference between treatments wasfound in dressing percentage and wholesale cuts. The study concludedthat the semi- intensive system is better for turkey production up to week24.

A study was carried out at the University of KhartoumDemonstration Farm in (2007), to study the performance of two tillageimplements: (disc and chisel plough) and their effect on some soilphysical properties. The results showed that the higher values of boththeoretical and effective field capacities were recorded by chisel plough(1.23 ha/hr and 0.90 ha/hr) as compared to disc plough (0.63 ha/hr and0.50 ha/hr). The higher field efficiency was recorded by disc plough(79.37%) as compared to the chisel plough (73.4%). The fuel consumedwhen using the disc plough was (10.60 l/ha) less than that consumed bythe chisel (13.47 l/ha). Tractor wheel slippages ware found to be 10.92%.and 14.1%. The result also showed that both ploughs decreased the soilbulk density values from 1.54 g/cm3 to 1.51 and 1.49 g/cm3 by disc andchisel plough respectively. Particle density was not affected (P > 0.05) byboth implements . The soil porosity values were also increased for bothimplements. The soil moisture content recorded in two depths 0-15 and15-30 cm were higher for chisel plough (6.53% and 6.9%) as compared todisc plough which recorded 6.3% and 6.5% respectively. The infiltrationrate obtained by the disc plough was 22.2 cm/hr while that of chiselplough was (20.1 cm/hr)

Published: April 2023

Laboratory studies were conducted to evaluate the efficacy ofaqueous and organic extracts of the argel (S. argel) shoots against the 4thlarval instar and adult stages of the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum)in the Sudan. Argel shoots were extracted sequentially by organic solventsof increasing polarity (petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and ethanol) as wellas directly by distilled water or ethanol. Extracts were tested atconcentrations ranging between 1% and 10%. The evaluated efficacyparameters were mortality, repellency and antifeedant effects. The testswere conducted in Petri dishes (9 cm i.d) and plastic cups (capacity 200ml) and the obtained data were subjected to the analysis of variance and tothe probit analysis. The results of the mortality data indicated thatpetroleum ether extracts was the most potent against the 4 th larval instar ofT.castaneum as shown by its low LD50 of 8.2%, while ethyl acetateextract was the most potent against the adult of this pest with an LD50value of 16%. The results showed that various types of argel shootextracts induced significant dose dependent repellency against theT. castaneum. The highest 24 hours repellency was caused by thepetroleum ether extract on the adult stage of T. castaneum as indicated byits low ED50 value of 1.58%.The different argel shoot extracts inducedsignificant antifeedant action against the test insect. The lowest feedingratio (0.02) was recorded in ethyl acetate extract- treated crushed wheatgrains

the objectives of this study were to investigate the stage ofmaturity and to determine nutrient contents of farmyard manure (FYM)composted with 2% chicken manure (CHM), 1% urea, and 25% wastewater, during the summer seasons of 1997 and 1998. The treatments werereplicated thrice in a completely randomized design. The total number ofexperimental units was repeated eight times for destructive sampling at 15days intervals for a period of four months. The treatments were buried inauger holes (90-cm depth) and samples were collected and chemicallyanalysed. The analysis included crude fibre, cellulose, starch, calcium,magnesium, sodium, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contents. Thestage of maturity of FYM was measured by the biodegradation of crudefibre, cellulose and starch contents which decreased significantly (P≤0.005). The rate of crude fibre decomposition was highest in ureafollowed by CHM and waste water. The rate of cellulose decompositionof both urea and waste water treatments was significantly higher than theCHM and control treatments. Starch disappeared in the 12th week in CHMtreatment and in the 14th week in waste water treatment. CHM treatmentwas superior in calcium release followed by waste water and ureatreatments. The lowest sodium was detected in waste water treatmentfollowed by both CHM and urea. Waste water, however, showed thehighest nitrogen and phosphorus contents compared to the othertreatments. Potassium content was the highest in CHM followed by ureaand waste water. In conclusion, the best compost ripening time was afterthree months when its nutritive value was the highest and the physicalproperties were best
Patients as Feedback Providers: Exploring Medical Students’ Credibility Judgments

Published: April 2023

Introduction: Patient feedback is becoming ever more important in medical education. Whether students engage with feedback is partly determined by how credible they think the feedback provider is. Despite its importance for feedback engagement, little is known about how medical students judge the credibility of patients. The purpose of this study was therefore to explore how medical students make credibility judgments regarding patients as feedback providers.
Methods: This qualitative study builds upon McCroskey’s conceptualization of credibility as a three-dimensional construct comprising: competence, trustworthiness, and goodwill. Since credibility judgments are shaped by the context, we studied students’ credibility judgments in both a clinical and non-clinical context. Medical students were interviewed after receiving feedback from patients. Interviews were analyzed through template and causal network analysis.
Results: Students based their credibility judgments of patients on multiple interacting arguments comprising all three dimensions of credibility. In estimating a patient’s credibility, students reasoned about aspects of the patient’s competence, trustworthiness, and goodwill. In both contexts students perceived elements of an educational alliance between themselves and patients, which could increase credibility. Yet, in the clinical context students reasoned that therapeutic goals of the relationship with patients might impede educational goals of the feedback interaction, which lowered credibility.
Discussion: Students’ credibility judgments of patients were a weighing of multiple sometimes conflicting factors, within the context of relationships and their associated goals. Future research should explore how goals and roles can be discussed between students and patients to set the stage for open feedback conversations.

This study is conducted for the purpose of identifying listening skill strategy for studying in Arabic language curriculum in Sekolah Rendah Agama Integrasi in the state of Selangor. Data for this study is collected by distributing questionnaire towards 419 respondents. Students’ perception towards the implementation of listening skill in studying Arabic language was found to be at moderate low level with the average mean value (mean=2.641, sd=0.473). Findings of this study shown that teaching and learning process of Arabic language listening skill did not focus on the use of suitable intonation according to situation. This caused the learning process of Arabic language to become dull and less effective. Apart from that, the study also found that teachers put less focus on listening activities. Teaching and learning process of Arabic language listening skill depended a lot verbal application compared to use of materials such as cassette or computer. This is due to the school’s lack of teaching aid materials such as computers. It is hoped that this study become guidance to teachers in increasing listening skill in the teaching of Arabic language in school.

Kajian ini akan dijalankan bertujuan mengenalpasti kaedah kemahiran mendengar dalam pembelajaran dalam kurikulum bahasa Arab di Sekolah Rendah Agama Integrasi di seluruh negeri Selangor. Kaedah pengumpulan data menggunakan soal selidik secara rawak mudah kepada murid darjah seramai 419 orang responden. Pandangan murid terhadap pelaksanaan kemahiran mendengar dalam pembelajaran bahasa Arab secara keseluruhannya berada pada tahap sederhana rendah dengan nilai purata min keseluruhan (min=2.641, sp=0.473). Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa PdP kemahiran mendengar bahasa Arab tidak menitik beratkan penggunaan nada yang sesuai dengan situasi. Hal ini boleh menyebabkan suasana pembelajaran bahasa Arab menjadi hambar dan kurang berkesan. Selain itu, kajian mendapati guru kurang menekankan aktiviti mendengar. Demikian juga, PdP kemahiran mendengar bahasa Arab banyak bergantung kepada aplikasi secara lisan berbanding pengunaan bahan secara audio seperti kaset atau komputer. Hal ini disebabkan pihak sekolah menghadapi kekurangan alat bantu mengajar seperti komputer dan sebagainya. Diharapkan kajian ini dapat menjadi panduan kepada guru dalam meningkatkan kemahiran mendengar dalam pengajaran bahasa Arab di sekolah.

Authors: Mohd Noh Mohd Amin , Jing Hoo Fang
Published: April 2023

This study describes the importance of looking into the theory of constructivism in the process of teaching and learning for higher learning institution in Malaysia. 56 participants from 3 different groups of Art and Design final year students in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Melaka campus have been chosen as the subjects for this study. It investigates how these groups of students are able to construct knowledge based on their prior knowledge, past experiences and the cultural factors that govern the environment they are in to produce good and interesting final year project. Problems arisen in the process of teaching and learning whereby students and lecturers were not able to meet up during lecture and studio hours due to many constrains like absenteeism, meetings, and insufficiency for monitoring and consulting student’s project progress and developments resulting in inefficiency and less productive of the final products by the students. Thus, Social Constructivism is looked into using a well- known Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) tool which is Facebook. The qualitative method is used for collecting data to examine the social interaction and the development of communication among students. The findings in this study indicate that the use of Facebook has served as a good tool for Graphic Design students to achieve better social interaction amongst them in the process of teaching and learning session. Therefore, CMC should be used as an alternative tool for lecturers to be able to communicate with students. Learning process should not be confined only during classroom. Both the students and lecturer should participate in students’ own learning time and to overcome the constraint of face-to- face interaction.
