Dificuldades de estudantes em um laboratório didático: uma interpretação baseada em conceituações sobre a realidade
Authors: Marineli Fábio , Lopes de Almeida Pacca Jesuína
Published: November 2022

Neste trabalho apresentamos uma interpretação para dificuldades enfrentadas por estudantes quando realizam atividades em um laboratório didático de Física. O entendimento de conceitos típicos de uma aula de laboratório, como medida, incerteza, flutuação etc., é extraído dos relatórios de experimentos realizados por eles. A análise do conteúdo dos textos levou a uma categorização de ideias que representam a compreensão dos sujeitos sobre conteúdos tratados no laboratório. Para a interpretação desses resultados tomamos como referência as ideias de autores que fazem descrições fenomenológicas da realidade da vida cotidiana e de outros campos; entre outras coisas, esses autores afirmam que a realidade do dia a dia é distinta da realidade das teorizações científicas. A partir dessa visão, consideramos que as dificuldades manifestadas pelos estudantes com as atividades experimentais teriam um forte componente dessa concepção da realidade do cotidiano, que é transposta para o campo científico
Mediating Effect of Job Satisfaction on the Relationship Between Work Engagement and Individual Work Performance Among Public School Teachers
Authors: Balbes Claresse Anne J , Quines Lyndon A
Published: November 2022

The purpose of the study is to examine the mediation effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between work engagement and individual work performance. The data collected used a survey questionnaire on a sample of 311 public school teachers in the North and South Districts of Kiblawan, Davao del Sur. The researcher administered questionnaires using a 5-point Likert scale. In the statistical analysis, job satisfaction was the mediating variable, work engagement was identified as the independent variable, and individual work performance was the dependent variable. Path Analysis was used to establish the relationships among the variables. Results showed that work engagement and individual work performance are positively correlated, and the connection is significant. Similarly, work engagement and job satisfaction have a positive causal relationship, and the association is also significant. Likewise, job satisfaction and individual work performance also have a significant relationship and are positively correlated. Findings also revealed that job satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between work engagement and individual work performance. Such that 48.8% of the overall influence of work engagement on individual work performance appears to be mediated by job satisfaction. The remaining 51.2% seems to be either direct or mediated by factors not included in the model.
TASARRUFUN İPTALİ DAVASININ (İİK M. 277 vd.) KONUSUZ KALMASI
Authors: IŞIK Melih
Published: November 2022

Kural olarak borçlu, dürüstlük kuralı gereği (MK m. 2/1) borçlarını tam ve zamanında ifa etmelidir. Buna karşın borçlu, borcunu rızaî olarak ifa etmediği gibi, alacaklının cebri icra prosedürüyle alacağını elde etmesine mâni olmak amacıyla malvarlığı üzerinde tasarrufta bulunabilmektedir. Kanun koyucu, bu tarz tasarruf işlemlerinin alacaklı bakımından iptali için İcra ve İflâs Kanunu m. 277 vd. hükümlerde tasarrufun iptali davasını düzenlemiştir. Bu dava ile alacaklı, belirli tasarruflar sonucu borçlunun cebri icra alanından çıkardığı malvarlığı değerleri üzerinde haciz ve satış talep etme yetkisi yahut borçlunun bazı tasarruflarının kendisi bakımından geçersiz sayılmasını talep etmektedir.
Tasarrufun iptali davası ile üçüncü kişinin malvarlığı etkilendiğinden, kanun koyucu tarafından sıkı şartlar öngörülmüştür. Bu şartların mevcut olması halinde dava kabul edilecek, yokluğu halinde ise esasa ilişkin nedenlerle dava reddedilebilecektir. Dava şartlarında eksiklik olması halinde ise, davanın reddi usulî nedene dayanır. Bu ihtimallerden başka, davanın farklı şekilde sona ermesi de mümkündür. Davanın görüldüğü esnada yargılama dışında meydana gelebilecek bazı olaylar neticesinde, esas hakkında karar verilme gereği ortadan kalkabilir. Bu halde, dava konusuz kalmıştır. Yargılama dışında gerçekleşen bu olay ile, dava ile elde edilmek istenen neticeye yargılama dışında ulaşılmış yahut ulaşılma imkânı kalmamıştır. Artık davanın esas bakımdan incelenmesi için bir neden bulunmamaktadır.
Çalışmamızın ana çerçevesi, tasarrufun iptali davasında davanın konusuz kalmasıdır. İlk olarak tasarrufun iptali davasına özgü olarak davanın konusuz kalmasına neden olan olaylar tespit edilmeye çalışılacaktır. Bu olayların tespitinde, çoğunlukla yargı içtihatları göz önüne alınacaktır. Davanın konusuz kalması üzerine, bu olgunun davaya getirilmesi gerekmektedir. Mahkeme davanın konusuz kaldığını tespit etmişse Hukuk Muhakemeleri Kanunu m. 331/1 uyarınca karar verilmesine yer olmadığı kararı ile yargılamayı sona erdirecektir. Bu kararın hukukî niteliğine dair inceleme yapıldıktan sonra, yargılama giderlerine nasıl hükmedilmesi gerektiği incelenerek çalışmamız sona erecektir.
YARGI KARARLARI IŞIĞINDA DEVLET MEMURİYETİNE YAKIŞMAYAN TUTUM VE DAVRANIŞ KAVRAMININ DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ
Authors: SERTTAŞ Seher
Published: November 2022

Kanunların devlet memuru olarak emrettiği ödevleri yerine getirmeyenlere, uyulmasını zorunlu kıldığı hususları yapmayanlara veya yasakladığı işleri yapanlara durumun niteliğine ve ağırlık derecesine göre 657 sayılı Devlet Memurları Kanunu’nun 125. maddesinde sıralanan disiplin cezalarından birisi verilir. 125. maddenin A/(e) alt bendine göre, “Devlet memuru vakarına yakışmayan tutum ve davranışta bulunmak” eylemi, uyarma disiplin cezası gerektirmektedir. Soyut bir kavram olan devlet memuru vakarına yakışmayan tutum ve davranışta bulunmak ne demektir? Yine 125. maddenin B bendinde kınama cezası gerektiren disiplin suçları olarak “Hizmet dışında Devlet memurunun itibar ve güven duygusunu sarsacak nitelikte davranışlarda bulunmak” ve “Görev mahallinde genel ahlak ve edep dışı davranışlarda bulunmak” sayılmaktadır. “Hizmet içinde Devlet memurunun itibar ve güven duygusunu sarsacak nitelikte davranışlarda bulunmak” ise aynı maddenin C/(ı) alt bendinde aylıktan kesme cezasını gerektirmektedir. En ağır disiplin cezası olan devlet memuriyetinden çıkarılmayı düzenleyen 125. maddenin E bendinde ise “Memurluk sıfatı ile bağdaşmayacak nitelik ve derecede yüz kızartıcı ve utanç verici hareketlerde bulunmak” ile “ Yurt dışında Devletin itibarını düşürecek veya görev haysiyetini zedeleyecek tutum ve davranışlarda bulunmak” disiplin suçları olarak belirtilmiştir. Memuriyeti sona erdiren nitelikte eylem olan “yüz kızartıcı hareket” kavramı ne anlama gelmektedir? Belirtilen disiplin suçlarının içeriği ve sınırlarının belirsiz ve soyut olması uygulamada sorunlara neden olmaktadır. Zira idarenin bu eylemleri dar veya geniş yorumlamasına bağlı olarak memur hakkında disiplin cezası verilip verilmeyeceği veya disiplin cezasının ağırlığı değişeceğinden, memurun hak ve özgürlüğü farklı şekilde etkilenmektedir.

Bu bildiride özetle, devlet memuriyetine yakışmayan tutum ve davranışta bulunmak kavramının ne anlama geldiği, çerçevesi ve sınırları ile bu kavrama dayanılarak verilen disiplin cezalarına karşı yapılan yargısal denetimde yargı organlarının konuya bakışı değerlendirilecektir. Bu bağlamda, memuriyete yakışmayan tutum ve davranışta bulunmak kavramının içerik ve anlamı, başta Devlet Memurları Kanunu olmak üzere, diğer Kamu Personel Hukukunu ilgilendiren mevzuat hükümleri çerçevesinde ülkemizde uygulanışına ve yargı kararlarına yer verilerek görüş ve düşüncelerimiz izaha çalışılacaktır.

Sun is one of the new renewable energy sources that can be used as a source of electrical energy that is available on the earth. But the sun in nature has a light intensity that varies greatly with each time and place. This issue can be overcome by using the Modification  Sepic Converter tool with a fuzzy method to produce a stable electrical voltage so that it becomes usable electrical energy. This tool uses a series of converters connected to photovoltaics. The tool also uses a voltage sensor as feedback for the Fuzzy method to maintain a voltage of 21-23VDC to 48VDC.
Capacidad pro-apoptótica in vitro de Valeriana rígida y Valeriana decussata sobre una línea celular de cáncer de mama.
Authors: Williams Jeniffer , Carrero Yenddy , Homero Varga José , Acosta Michael
Published: November 2022

Cancer represents a worldwide public health problem, with high incidence and mortality rates in developed and undeveloped countries. Cur-rently, therapeutic alternatives of natural origin are being evaluated with the purpose of establishing more efficient and less invasive treatments. Apoptosis is the type of programmed death cancer cells undergo during treatment with anti-neoplastic drugs. Therefore, the aim of this research was to evaluate in vitro the pro-apoptotic and cytotoxic capacity of valerian extracts on a breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). In this study, MCF7 cells were cultured and treated with different concentrations of the extracts of the root, leaves and stems of Valeriana rígida and Valeriana decussata. Cell viability was assessed by the MTT assay. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR assays were used for the determi-nation of gene expression of anti- and proapoptotic proteins (Bax, Bcl-2, p53). Different concentrations of the extracts (10–8 to 10–1 mg/mL) decreased cell viability (proliferation) in a concentration-dependent manner. These extracts induced gene expression of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins but not of p53. The expres-sion of Bax was higher than that of Bcl-2, causing an elevated Bax/Bcl-2 ratio (proapoptotic condition). In conclusion, it was determined that Valeriana de-cussata and Valeriana rígida extracts have a viability (proliferation) reducing effect on the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line, probably mediated by altering the ratio of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins linked to apoptosis.
Corporate Social Responsibility: the Covid-19 Test. The Response Through a Case Study Comparison in Italian Fashion Companies
Authors: Tafuro Alessandra , Dammacco Giuseppe , Costa Antonio
Published: November 2022

This study analyzes how, during the Covid-19 pandemic, macro, meso and micro-level triggers have promoted the development of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in companies throughout the world. We propose a theoretical framework to highlight how these triggers have influenced the institutionalization of CSR in companies, implementing actions to support the Italian healthcare system, ensure the health and the safety of the population, and mitigate any social and economic problems that could be generated by the pandemic. The fashion industry is among the economic sectors that have been particularly affected by the crisis and has suffered greatly from the effects of the decision made by the Government to limit the diffusion of the pandemic. A case study comparison in Italian fashion companies is proposed here to highlight how all of these CSR actions can be interpreted, considering a more general principle of CSR promoted by owners and managers who, voluntarily, have taken decisions for the benefit of the community and their employees. These actions have both theoretical - considering future research lines on CSR - and practical implications on how companies should consider their stakeholders, in particular, employees and society as a whole, going beyond the human resource strategies and the classic commitment through philanthropic activities.

Authors: Crespo Carlos
Published: November 2022

This research article will discuss a collaboration strategy used between eight postsecondary institutions in Puerto Rico which are part of the library consortia COBIMET. COBIMET is a non-profit organization that works collaboratively with its members to improve virtual library services and information skills in the digital era. The development of collaboration strategies for information sharing through interlibrary loans (ILL) services have become an important service to reduce the gap of information needed by researchers or scholars. These institutions implemented an automated online interlibrary loan system that was integrated to their electronic resources discovery system. The aim of this collaborative agreement was to reduce request time and to provide access to more information resources in a cost-effective manner. The article will present the rationale on implementing an automated ILL Request Process and project experiences.
A National Portrait of STEM Trajectories Through Two- and Four-Year Hispanic Serving Institutions
Authors: Herrera Felisha A. , Rodríguez-Operana Victoria
Published: November 2022

Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) are critical in advancing postsecondary outcomes for Latinx and other historically underrepresented and racially minoritized students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) to promote diversity, innovation, and excellence in STEM fields. Despite rich opportunities for improving college access, retention, degree attainment, and representation in STEM fields, the role of two- and four-year HSIs in STEM pathways has been under-emphasized. Utilizing a nationally-representative sample, this article explores the undergraduate profiles and outcomes of STEM majors who begin postsecondary education at two- and four-year HSIs. While there are observable differences in student outcomes across HSIs and non-HSIs at both the two- and four-year levels, we must take a deeper look to better understand how these institutional contexts impact STEM trajectories across two- and four- year HSIs. Ultimately, these outcomes are just one piece of the overall picture toward HSIs intentionally serving Latinx students and advancing STEM pathways.

Estrategias de andamiaje cognitivo en un ambiente de aprendizaje colaborativo en línea y la solución de problemas en una tarea auténtica: Prueba de un modelo
Authors: Ojeda Ayala Rosa
Published: November 2022

Los procesos de solución de problemas, especialmente los problemas que presentan poca o ninguna estructura (mal estructurados), es una de las áreas más desatendidas por las investigaciones relacionadas al diseño de la instrucción (Jonassen, 2004). Estas destrezas son de particular interés en el desarrollo del aprendizaje adulto y la enseñanza en el nivel graduado. Algunos teóricos han propuesto el uso de estrategias (andamios cognitivos) basados en tecnologías que sirvan para apoyar estos procesos.

El presente estudio pretendió poner a prueba las estrategias sugeridas por Lin, Hmelo, Kinzer y Secules (1999), usando cuatro tipos de andamiaje (procesos, apuntes, modelaje y foro social) para facilitar los procesos de solución de problemas mal estructurados. El estudio se desarrolló como un estudio de caso múltiple, siguiendo el enfoque formativo (Reigeluth y Frick, 1999), enmarcado en el paradigma cualitativo, pero adoptando una metodología mixta. Su intención era auscultar la efectividad de los andamios en apoyar los procesos de solución de problemas auténticos del carácter mal estructurados mientras se desarrollaba el proyecto del curso en la modalidad en línea en la plataforma MOODLE. Se hizo énfasis en la herramienta del Wiki.

Los resultados sostienen que los andamios fueron efectivos en lograr su propósito. Aquellos que se caracterizaron por apoyar al estudiante en adquirir un dominio profundo, no solamente del contenido, sino de los procesos asociados a él y aquellos que le permiten monitorear su propio proceso de solución de problemas mientras aprenden fueron los más efectivos. Además, los estudiantes estimaron otros aspectos afectivos como importantes para este logro. La herramienta Wiki no produjo los resultados esperados.
Integrated Learning and the Value of the VALUE Rubrics
Authors: Marchisello Geralyn , Cuomo Michele
Published: November 2022

The Association of American Colleges & Universities focuses its approach on student learning outcomes through its LEAP (Liberal Education America’s Promise) VALUE (Valid Assessment of Undergraduate Education) Rubrics, a set of general education rubrics developed by faculty groups across the country looking internally at common general education outcomes. The process for developing the rubrics emerged from “Principles of Excellence” developed by a leadership council of educators, which include: “giving students a compass (focus each student's plan of study on achieving the essential learning outcomes--and assess progress), teach the arts of inquiry and innovation, connect knowledge with choice and action, assess students’ ability to apply learning to complex problems” (AAC&U). The internal yet cross-national look at refined student outcomes through the VALUE rubrics has the potential to measure student outcomes across campuses, across classrooms and longitudinally through multiple iterations.
Minority Student Access in the Online Environment
Authors: Conway Katherine , Wladis Claire , Hachey Alyse
Published: November 2022

Using registration and transcript data, the authors explored differences in online course enrollment across different student groups. This study revealed that minority students do not enroll in online courses to the same extent as their White student peers, but the effect size for the difference in participation rates was small. However, the actual difference between minority students online vs. face-to-face enrollment was five percentage points, a difference equivalent to about 150 minority students per year, given the College’s current enrollment rates, so the impact of this small difference is not insignificant. An even greater issue is that Black and Hispanic students, regardless of the course delivery medium, continue to have lower G.P.A. s than their White and Asian/Pacific Islander (PI) student peers. This finding reinforces prior research that suggests Black and Hispanic student groups need additional support in order to be successful in college, and that greater recruitment efforts for online courses are needed for all minority groups.

The Effects of Music on Adolescent People's Intellectual, Social, and Personal Development
Authors: Ramaiah Dr. Pushpamala
Published: November 2022

This study examines the empirical data to establish the impact that actively participating in music may have on the social development, personal development, and intellectual development of children and teens. In addition to studies that make use of both quantitative and qualitative techniques, it is also dependent on research on the brain that is carried out using the most sophisticated technologies. This exemplifies how musical abilities may be translated to other endeavors as long as the procedures remain the same, which is an assumption that can be made with some level of confidence. It examines the data pertaining to how musical aptitude affects general intelligence, creativity, fine motor coordination, concentration, self-confidence, emotional sensitivity, social skills, teamwork, self-discipline, and relaxation are all factors in IQ testing are all important aspects of education. It also examines how musical aptitude affects general intelligence. Investigations are also made on the connection between general intelligence and musical talent. It conveys the idea that engaging in music may only positively impact a person's personal and social development if doing so is a pleasurable and satisfying experience for them. This is not always the case. Because of this, the effectiveness with which the lessons are delivered to the pupils is impacted.
Parental Involvement and Pupils’ Academic Performance in English Language
Authors: FUH SUH Isidor
Published: November 2022

This cross sectional survey investigated the extent to which parental provision of required text and work books, expression of concern towards academic work, support with homework and level of literacy influenced pupil’s academic performance in English language in Tubah Sub-Division, North-West Region of Cameroon. The target population of this study consisted of the 631 class six pupils and their respective parents in the 20 state-approved primary schools within Bambili and Bambui in Tubah Sub-Division. Data were obtained from a sample of 80 parents of pupils of four primary schools obtained through purposive and simple random sampling techniques. The pupils’ scores in English language were used to compare with respective parental responses. The Chi Square test (χ2) was used to verify the hypotheses given that data were non parametric. The findings showed that a significant relationship exists between parental involvement and pupils’ academic performance in English language. It showed that the more parents provided the required text books (χ2=6.401; P=0.011), assist their children directly or indirectly in the completion of their homework (χ2 test P<0.001) and express concern towards their academic progress (493.84, P<0.001), the higher their academic performance. It was also found that illiteracy is not a limitation to parental involvement in pupils’ academic work (χ2=0.001; P=0.970). Significant recommendations were made from the findings. Parents should be proactive towards their pupils’ academic work, provide recommended text and workbooks, verify their books constantly, offer assistance in the completion of homework, attend parent-teacher association meetings and maintain contact with school to monitor pupils’ progress. Teachers and school authorities should encourage parents to set attainable standards for their children, reinforce their commendable achievements, encourage the use of English language at home, and regulate and monitor study time at home. The findings are meaningful within the theories of Lev Vygotsky (1978), Gonzalez-Pienda et al. (2002), Fan and Chen (2001) and Van Voorhis (2003).

Meanwhile, in the East monsoon, which has a range of wind speeds between 133.2-45 m/s, it is able to generate waves that reach a height of 0.4 – 1.4 meters. up to 0.1852 m/s. With wave intervals ranging from +1.1 meters to 1.5, and seeing the potential for attraction, there is the Nusantara Port which functions as one of the main gates as access to Tanjungpinang City. This area stretches for ± 5 Km and is directly adjacent to the waters, so it has the potential to be developed as a recreational area with the potential to present a sunset view by the beach and Suppa Bay. This condition is also supported by the strategic position of the City of Parepare as a Madya City which is a connecting node in the central part of South Sulawesi Province towards West Sulawesi and the northern part of South Sulawesi Province. Therefore, the Mattirotasi coastal area is a coastal tourist attraction that has quite a variety of attractions. This beach tourism activity is included in the recreational category, which is the type of activity that is most dominantly carried out by tourists.

Enabling Access to Birth in a Midwife-led Unit: Implementation of a Co-produced Evidenced-based Guideline
Authors: Healy Maria , Gillen Patricia
Published: November 2022

There is an increasing emphasis on the need to support women in planning their place of birth. In order to make a truly informed choice, women and midwives can benefit fro evidence-based guidelines that provide them with easy-to-access information that will support their decision-making. In Northern Ireland there are currently eight midwife-led units (MLU) (with potential for more), which are most suitable as the place of birth for a woman with a straightforward pregnancy. This paper provides an overview of the ‘GAIN (RQIA) Guideline for admission to midwife-led units in Northern Ireland’. The guideline was informed by the evidence, and co-produced by women and maternity care professionals.
PERFORMANCE CHALLENGES IN MIECZYSŁAW WAJNBERG’S SONATAS FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO – A PIANIST’S PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Różański Piotr
Published: November 2022

The article Performance Challenges in Mieczysław Wajnberg’s Sonatas for Violin and Piano – a Pianist’s Perspective was written to sum up the author’s experiences connected with his work on the interpretation of the compositions mentioned in the title. The text points to the most significant style-related and instrumental issues a pianist is confronted with while reaching for Wajnberg’s pieces. They include (among others): frequent and long solo fragments, specific texture conditions, necessity to render a complicated metrorhythmic layer in a precise way, or the necessity to undertake – along with the performer of the violin part – creative and well-thought artistic decisions (referring to such elements as dynamics or articulation) in the context of the composer’s reticence related to interpretation tips. The author of the article based his reflections on monographic publications devoted to Wajnberg (which were written by Verena Mogl, Daniel Elphick and David Fanning) and his own analytical and performance work.
MARIA MANTURZEWSKA AND HER STUDIES ON MUSICIANS’ PERSONALITIES
Authors: Kaczmarek Stella
Published: November 2022

The structure and nature of professional musicians’ personalities have been examined by numerous scholars. The issue of musicians’ personalities and the role of personality traits in their music activities is the subject of both reflective considerations and systematic research. The studies in the field of psychology of music analysed those personality traits that had a direct influence on the process of learning, creating, or performing music. When choosing a music profession, it is hard to be guided only by personality factors, without considering perception-related, technical, and intellectual aptitude. Being a musician is a combination of genetic and biological “package”, personality traits, as well as social and emotional support given during childhood and adolescence.
Research on the personalities of professional musicians, conductors and composers started in the 19th century first attempted by Strumpf and then they were continued in the 20th century by Seashore, Teplov, Manturzewska, and later on by Bell and Cresswell, Kemp and Woody. It was conducted using musical aptitude tests, intelligence tests, and personality tests (by Castell, Eysenck, or the Big Five by Costa and McCrae). Maria Manturzewska’s research (also using the tests mentioned earlier) from 1960s and 1970s contributed to the popularization of knowledge about a professional musician’s personality. This article presents the most important results of these studies, which cast new light on the personality structure and the features (competencies, skills) which are necessary to become a successful musician.

To statistically analyse sitting posture using anthropometrics data among college students in Malaysia.

This study was conducted among 52 college students consisting of males and females. Data were analysed using a common statistical tool which is the Statistical Package of Sosial Science (SPSS).

Preliminary analysis of data indicated that there are wider differences in standard deviation of eye sitting height compared to the previous study conducted.

This study was conducted at only one higher learning institution/college located at East Cost of Malaysia.

The larger value of standard deviation discovered as statistical analysis performed using combined data among male and female participants suggested that data should be segregated.

Result obtained could be used as a preliminary guideline to design any related item in related to sitting posture.

The Covid-19 pandemic outbreak forced early childhood programs to make a sudden switch to remote learning in response to the crisis. While technologies can facilitate seamless migration of face-to-face learning to a virtual platform, these rapid advancements are merely tailored for typical children, causing children with special needs, including children with autism, to be left behind. To date, the prevalence of children across the globe diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has been increasing. ASD refers to complex neurodevelopment disorders characterized by intellectual disability, language impairment, characteristic and repetitive behaviours, and difficulties with interaction and social communication. Some children with ASD are capable perform all learning activities, but most of them require substantial support to perform basic learning activities. Previous studies found that children with ASD have difficulty understanding spoken language, but they have a strong interest in visual objects. Most of their learning occurs through watching since a visual process produced better recall than auditory learning. In other words, the visual channel could be the best way to develop their cognitive abilities and enhance their spoken language capabilities. Augmented reality (AR) is a technology in which audio, visual, and text are superimposed on the real world using mobile devices. AR is a promising technology that could help children with ASD better understand the world around them, bridging digital and physical worlds. Hence, the purpose of this study was to design, develop, and evaluate an immersive learning environment using AR for children with ASD. This study applied the design and development research approach that involved analysis, design and development, implementation and evaluation. The AR involved aspects, such as attention and positive emotions, social interaction, facial expressions, nonverbal social cues, and vocabulary that are crucial in the design and development of learning for children with ASD.

Skill building for increased employability, relevance at work or for promotion drives continuing education through flexible learning modes such as digital learning. However, digital learning research continues to focus on formal learning institution, where technologies and learners are more sophisticated than in continuing education. Participants demonstrate gendered differences in ability to access and use online tools and platforms, exacerbating marginalization and lack of inclusiveness. In our training sessions, men dominated: the triple roles of women and girls, access to technology and perception of social position resulted in lower levels of participation during plenary, and in ranking of overall. training experience. Subsequent training utilized synchronous and asynchronous innovations- including heavy use of chat, spider web discussion, pairing of participants to brainstorm before joining breakaway groups, integration of WhatsApp and group email for mobile-based assignments and to preview learning material. Assessment of difference in access and participation was based on length of attendance in sessions, use of feedback streams, and post training evaluation. Results indicate that use of multiple approaches positively impacts on attendance and interaction, and leading to higher attainment of learning goals. These findings show that engendering digital learning technologies facilitates inclusion of technologically disadvantaged learners in informal, low-support settings.
Blended Learning Approach to Integrating Research Competency in Undergraduate Teacher Education Programme for Mathematics Students at Maseno University
Authors: Ayere Mildred
Published: November 2022

Unemployment in Kenya relates closely to under skilling of learners arising specifically from teachers whose research potential has not been well harnessed through the present education system. In any teaching situation, the faculty’s role is to facilitate, guide, and motivate the learning process— training students to be lifelong learners and critical thinkers. Because information in the world is constantly changing, there is need to learn how to evaluate, integrate, and apply information, not simply memorizing accepted facts and theories. It is for these reasons that this study sought show how that undergraduate research skills lead to lifelong learning for teachers. This project used a quasi-experimental design (Pre-test/Post-test Design), with 3rd year Mathematics students of Maseno in the experimental cohort (Taken through an online facilitated research course but supervised face to face in both cohorts) of students and same cohort students from Kenyatta University in the control group (Taken through the face-to-face course without online follow up). The population consisted of 600 3rd year Math students, 55, 60 & 5 school of Education lecturers from Maseno, Kenyatta and Linnaeus Universities respectively. A sample of 200 students and 55 lecturers from both Kenyatta and Maseno University were drawn through the stratified random method, with stratification based on the University of each participant’s origin. Saturated sampling was applied for the Linnaeus lecturers. Data was collected through student and teacher questionnaires, online forum discussions and documentary analysis. The paired sample T-test was used to analyse the quantitative data. Preliminary findings indicated that a higher number of students who received the treatment (online support from supervisors) completed and submitted research reports (25%) as compared to only 15% from the control cohort. However, the final cumulative rating of the reports based on a qualitative scale by an independent team of researchers from Linnaeus university indicated that students who received treatment (taken through a facilitated online support area during the research course) performed much better (80% pass rate) as compared to students who did not receive the treatment (not facilitated through a taught research Course) with a 20% pass rate. These results show that training in research and creation of a community of practice in research is linked to performance in the field (Industry). Preliminary report further indicated that at least 2% of students in the facilitated research cohort are already directly benefiting from the research training received as an undergraduate.

The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of subclinical mastitis (SCM), its innate immunity and to compare the efficacy of indirect diagnostic tests [California mastitis test (CMT), differential electrical conductivity (DEC), absolute EC, enzyme based color detection method (Tanucheck kit) and brothymol blue strip (BTB) tests] to milk somatic cell count (SCC) method using 200×103 cells/ml as a cut off value in Deoni (N=27) and HF crossbred (N=32) cows. Cumulative prevalence of SCM was 38% and 63% in Deoni and HF crossbred cows, respectively on milk SCC basis (N=215). Breed, udder health status and its interaction had significant effect on SCC level. The overall sensitivity and specificity of above indirect tests were 38 and 99%; 52 and 72%; 52 and 69%; 76 and 31%, and 1 and 100%, respectively. mRNA expression of serum amyloid A (SAA), IL-1β and TNF- α genes were significantly up-regulated while, TNF-α gene was significantly down-regulated in PBMC of SCM affected HF crossbred and Deoni cows, respectively. It is concluded that, DEC is more suitable indirect method to detect SCM and mRNA expression of SAA and TNF-α was strongly related to SCM in HF crossbred and Deoni cows, respectively.

The current study was conducted in Maharashtra to ascertain the impact of dairy farming trainings organized by selected three Krishi Vigyan Kendras on selected economically important parameters. Propensity score matching method was used to avoid selection bias and build a statistical comparison group of non-trainees comparable to trainees. The study revealed that there was no significant difference among trainees and non-trainees related to possession of dairy herd. However, study has shown that milk productivity, annual net income and annual employment generation among trainee and non-trainee dairy farmers were significantly different and comparatively higher among trainees than non-trainees, which indicates positive impact of training imparted by selected Krishi Vigyan Kendras in Maharashtra. Study further revealed that proportion of trainees who were deriving higher economic benefits from dairy farming in terms of productivity and income was quiet less. Hence, it is suggested that training organizing institutes should intensively plan more trainings of long duration ensuring larger and wider participation of population with follow up and post-training information support.

The Raika pastoralists of Rajasthan have a large network of traditional healer and make use a large variety of indigenous plants, minerals and animal products to cure their diseased animals. Therefore, the present study was designed to document and appraise ethno-veterinary practices followed by the Raika pastoral community to treat common health ailments of sheep and goat like diarrhea, bloat, jaundice and fever. The study was carried out at purposively selected Marwar region of Rajasthan and a total 120 Raika pastoralists were interviewed from the six villages of Pali and Jodhpur district on an open-ended interview schedule to document the ethno-veterinary practices. For participatory assessment of the identified ethno-veterinary practices, Quantification of Indigenous Knowledge (QuIK) was applied. The Raikas were using total 15 ethno-veterinary practices to cure four common health ailments. Use of alum and jaggery was found most effective to treat diarrhea, whereas, they used only alum to treat fever. They also used mixture of turmeric, acidic butter, tea and black salt to manage bloat in their animal most effectively. To cure Jaundice of animal, they perceived use of mixture of lemon, baking soda and pepper was more effective ethno-veterinary practice. Hence, pharmacodynamics of these ethno-veterinary practices may be studied before further replication and use.
