The aim of the study was to study the effect of various predecessors on the phytosanitary condition of winter barley crops and its yield. The varieties of winter barley Master, Mikhailo, Kozyr, Dobrynya 3, approved for use in the North Caucasus region, were studied. The data obtained showed that winter barley, especially its yield, is highly dependent on its predecessors. Desirable are those predecessors that vacate the field early and provide an opportunity for early soil preparation and sowing at the optimum time. Peas, early potatoes and barley itself are noted as such precursors. These predecessors also increase the field germination of seeds, which amounted to 71.8-79.4%, lower rates were obtained for row crops, which amounted to 62.4-63.6%. It is established that the best technological indicators, ie the number of grains and the weight of the grain of the ear and 1000 grains after such precursors as peas and potatoes were obtained by 11.7%; 2.0 and 14.5%, respectively, and the same figures for corn for grain and sugar beet were minimal. The purest crops are marked by the predecessors of early potatoes, corn for grain and peas. The earlier development of root rot was the predecessor of early potatoes and peas, and the powdery mildew of corn is not grain and peas. The maximum yield was obtained from the predecessor of peas, which amounted to 4,28 t/ha in the winter barley variety Master. The lowest yield was observed in the predecessor of corn for grain in all considered varieties. Based on all indicators, the best precursors for winter barley are peas and early potatoes.

Introduction. Lymphatic malformations (LM) is the developmental anomaly of lymphatic vessels which is formed at the stage of early embryogenesis. Intraabdominal and retroperitoneal LM are very rare and account for 4 % of all observed LM.   Purpose. To clarify the effectiveness of minimally invasive surgical interventions in children with abdominal LM.   Material and methods. Over a ten-year period, 15 children with retroperitoneal lymphangiomas , aged from 1 to 17, were operated on in our clinics. To clarify diagnosis, a comprehensive examination was performed: ultrasound, spiral computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging of the abdominal cavity. Laparoscopic access was applied in all 15 cases for surgical intervention.   Results. In all cases, lymphatic malformations were diagnosed before surgery which was later confirmed at laparoscopy. Malformations were excised laparoscopically. In 2 patients, lymphangiomatous tissue was partially left at the site of the greatest fusion with renal and iliac vessels due to a high risk of their damage.   Conclusion. Endovideosurgical technologies in children with retroperitoneal LM may be used at any child’s age and at any size of retroperitoneal cystic formation since emptying the cystic cavity creates the necessary working space in the abdominal cavity. Such an approach minimizes surgical trauma, shortens surgical time and facilitates the postoperative period.

Os eventos de ondas de frio (OdF) são mais evidentes quando, por vezes, impactam diversos setores da sociedade, inclusive o setor agrícola, cujo desenvolvimento é altamente dependente das condições climáticas. O Estado de Santa Catarina é reconhecido em todo o país pelos seus cultivos de maçã, sendo o município de São Joaquim o maior produtor desta fruta em território nacional. Desta forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar os possíveis impactos associados à produtividade da maçã no município de São Joaquim. Correlações entre os parâmetros OdF (frequência, duração, intensidade e severidade média) e a produtividade da maçã no município de São Joaquim, nas safras de 2001 a 2017, foram pesquisadas por meio da correlação de Pearson (r), e posteriormente, por análise de regressão linear múltipla (RLM) e simples (RLS). O período de correlação corresponde aos ciclos de dormência e crescimento vegetativo (floração, frutificação e colheita). A frequência (Frq) (r = 0,53) e a duração (D) (r = 0,58) apresentaram correlação significativa (p <0,05) com a produtividade da maçã no período de dormência (maio a setembro). Ressalta-se que o parâmetro duração (D) explicou 38% da variação da produtividade da cultura no município de São Joaquim, nas safras de 2001 a 2017.

Singapore, lying near the Equator, has one of the highest lightning activities in the world1. However, injuries related to this weather phenomenon were under-reported and rarely a subject of study. Most reported cases dealt with lightning-caused fatalities, but lightning-caused accidents are not always fatal. We described a case series of five patients seen in our Emergency Department (ED). The circumstances surrounding their injuries and their presentations were reviewed. All our patients survived the ordeal and were discharged well back to their premorbid states. We explored the mechanisms by which lightning had caused their injuries and discussed the complications that might result as a consequence. We also discussed the actions clinician should take when faced with casualties of a lightning accident.

Published: July 2022

Norovirus is the common cause of gastroenteritis in humans. There is no report of liver dysfunction in children caused by norovirus infection. Baclofen has been used mainly to treat spasticity in children with cerebral palsy. Hepatotoxicity of baclofen has not been previously described in children. This report describes the case of acute liver dysfunction in the course of norovirus gastroenteritis in a child with cerebral palsy (CP) on baclofen. A 7-year 7month-old child who diagnosed spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy showed mild fever and diarrhea. He started taking baclofen a week before the symptom started. His illness was diagnosed as norovirus gastroenteritis, but liver dysfunction accompanied this gastroenteritis (AST/ALT 589/401 (IU/L)). He recovered completely within 2 weeks without any damage left. When a child with cerebral palsy gets norovirus enteritis while taking baclofen, it would be necessary to close monitoring for liver failure.

A alergia alimentar é uma resposta de hipersensibilidade desencadeada pela ingestão e/ou contato com alimentos. Os mecanismos fisiopatológicos envolvidos podem ser mediados ou não mediados por IgE, variando assim a clínica de acordo com cada mecanismo. No geral, a sintomatologia ocorre por manifestações cutâneas, gastrointestinais e respiratórias. Em alguns casos reações de maior gravidade acometem os pacientes ocasionando nos quadros de anafilaxia. A alergia alimentar é frequentemente diagnosticada sem a presença de um médico, pois as consequências surgem geralmente após o consumo de um determinado alimento. Existem muitos exames para o diagnóstico, principalmente quando a alergia é mediada por IgE, são eles: exames laboratoriais, teste cutâneo, RAST, teste de provocação, etc. O principal tratamento é baseado na dieta de exclusão, sendo muito importante a orientação de um profissional da saúde para a educação do paciente e também dos seus familiares.

Technology leadership and ICT use: Strategies for Capacity Building for ICT integration.
Authors: Mwawasi Felix Mndenyi
Published: July 2022

Technology leadership is a fairly new concept in school leadership focus. It has become a concern for study in recent times, in tandem with the pedagogical change of  integrating ICT in teaching and learning especially in the developed nations. However, few such studies have been done in Africa. A number of studies in the developed countries have advanced descriptive approaches on how Educators should go about the using of ICT in education. Teachers, therefore, need to have prerequisite skills to integrate ICT in teaching and learning and school leaders have a role in enabling the effective use of ICTs. This study aimed at investigating how school leaders help build capacities of teachers to be able to effectively integrate ICT in their teaching and learning, at school level, in a public secondary school in Kenya. Using a qualitative case study approach, five school leaders involved in the capacity building, were purposively sampled for interviews, four teachers were engaged in a Focus Group Discussion and two teachers were observed engaged in classroom practice. Further data was obtained by analysing official school documents. The data analysed indicate the school leaders facilitated increased access to ICT facilities to the teachers and supported them, alongside training, to enable them explore various ways of integrating ICT in teaching and learning.

Authors: Babu Suresh Chandra
Published: July 2022

This paper documents the experience and lessons from implementing an e-learning program aimed at creating multidisciplinary research capacity. It presents a case study of bringing together a multidisciplinary group of professionals on-line to learn the skills needed to be a successful researcher in the context of HIV/AIDS and food security problems in Eastern and Southern Africa. Lessons from the experience for future development of similar courses indicate that some of the factors that can enhance the success of e-learning programs in developing countries are: assessing the needs of the participants, easy access to educational technology, addressing the differing learning styles of the participants, continuous interaction and commitment of course moderators, enabling access to open access learning materials and combining various pedagogical approaches. The paper concludes that enhancing the skills of professionals in developing countries through e-learning programs is imperative to meet the human capacity needs for greater economic development and service delivery.

The mobile learning project involved the use of mobile technology to deliver learning materials to students to provide flexibility of access. Students used tablet computers to access electronic learning materials from the Aptus local server without having to connect to the Internet. The Aptus system is portable and was designed by the Commonwealth of Learning to allow learners to connect to digital learning platforms and access course materials without the need for Internet access. The project was implemented in a school in Pakistan. A total of 74 Grade 8, 9, and 10 students were involved in this project. The research revealed a positive impact on students and on learning as a result of their participation in the mobile learning project: students were better able to use the mobile technology for learning. Both students and parents also indicated that the project increased the students’ knowledge on the use of tablets for learning. Parents indicated that the mobile learning project increased their childrens’ interest in studying. Teachers also acknowledged that the students were taking more interest in classroom learning and concentrated on their tablets during study. Students were tested before and after they were supplied with content on their tablets. The post-test scores were significantly higher than the pre-test scores, indicating the use of the tablets for learning improved students’ performance.

It is in this perspective that the willingness to engage in such practices among academics in Rwandan public higher education was investigated with an agenda to trigger responsive actions. Via convenience/availability and volunteer sampling, 170 academics were invited to participate in the study and 85 of them completed and returned an email self-completion questionnaire. The results revealed that the majority of participants were willing to contribute to Open Educational Resources (OER) by publishing their work under an open licence. Participants were also willing to engage in diverse OEPs including 1) finding OER and evaluating their quality, 2) participating in and evaluating open courses, 3) aggregating OER, 4) adapting OER and open courses, and 5) assessing accomplishment from open learning based on OER and open courses for credit. National and institutional policies were found to be the potentially most important enablers of academics’ engagement in those practices. In the light of the findings, the researcher argues that the inclusion of more learners in the higher education system would make academics more impactful than simply the citation of their work, a stance that was reflected in subsequent responsive actions. This study may benefit institutions and policy makers who are interested in opening up higher education, especially the University of Rwanda that is expected to contribute significantly to the transformation of the country into a middle-income, knowledge-based society.
Student perceptions of the creation and reuse of digital educational resources in a community development-oriented organisation
Authors: Paskevicius Michael , Hodgkinson-Williams Cheryl
Published: July 2022

This case study explores students’ perceptions of the creation and reuse of digital teaching and learning resources in their work as tutors as part of a volunteer community development organisation at a large South African University. Through a series of semi-structured interviews, student-tutors reflect on their use and reuse of digital educational resources, and identify the challenges they experience in curating, adapting, and reusing educational resources for use in their teaching activities. The data is analysed qualitatively within the framework of an activity system (Engeström, 1987) to surface the primary systemic tensions that student-tutors face in the reuse of resources found online as well as open educational resources (OER). This study found that student-tutors sourced and used educational materials from the Internet, largely irrespective of their licensing conditions, while also creating and remixing a substantial number of educational materials to make them suitable for use in their context. We conclude that greater awareness of the availability of OER and explicit open licencing for works sourced and created within community development organisations could enhance sharing, collaboration, and help sustain high impact resources.
Open Badges as Credentials in Open Education Systems: Case Studies from Greece and Europe
Authors: Papadimitriou Sofia Theodor , Niari Maria Ioannis
Published: July 2022

Badges are digital representations of achievements or skills which describe the framework, significance, and outcomes of a learning procedure based on specific criteria. The Open Badges’ collection can be used as a virtual CV of skills and qualifications to their holder. The practice of development, issue, and use of Badges is connected with Gamification elements, as the incentive towards positive behavior and as a powerful pedagogical tool. Furthermore, the use of Open Badges could become an alternative certification system for skills and knowledge acquired in online, blended learning environments and other informal learning systems. In this paper, we present Case Studies where Open Badges have been used as credentials for evaluation of educational practices in pilot educational systems either in non-formal education or informal learning systems with specific emphasis on open learning environments. Key insights from analysing the Case Studies highlight Open Badges’ extended use and value stressing the need to make a common system of evaluation and accreditation in open online learning environments.
The Effects of Institutional Support Factors on Lecturer adoption of eLearning at a Conventional University
Authors: Makhaya Barbara Khavugwi , Ogange Betty O.
Published: July 2022

Conventional Higher Education Institutions in Kenya are in the process of implementing eLearning projects. These initiatives are, however, fraught with challenges. At the Maseno University eCampus, an evaluation of statistics on the institutional LMS after two years of implementation revealed that many lecturers had minimal or no log-in statistics, an indication that there was a gap in the adoption of eLearning. This study investigated factors explaining lecturer adoption of eLearning. A sample of 55 lecturers was selected and a questionnaire administered on their personal and institutional support factors for eLearning adoption. The findings revealed that the lecturers had a positive perception of the usefulness of eLearning and high self-efficacy in the adoption of eLearning. The gap in eLearning adoption was perceived by respondents to be a result of inadequate institutional support. The results suggest that lecturers are likely to be better adopters of eLearning not only when knowledge management processes and policies related to eLearning are developed but also where the institution works towards building and supporting a community of eLearning adopters.
Transformational Change in Delivery at Open Polytechnic, New Zealand

Published: July 2022

As long ago as 1992, Greville Rumble was writing about the “competitive vulnerabilities” of single-mode distance teaching institutions [universities]. In the intervening years the challenges he described have only intensified, especially so as advancing information and communication technologies have enabled increasing numbers of campus-based tertiary institutions to enter distance learning, usually targeting the part-time adult learner market that was formerly the preserve of single-mode distance learning providers.There are also wider and larger pressures at play. Disruptive digital technologies, globalisation of education, constrained government funding, shifting student expectations, and changes in demand for future skills, are all driving the need both to re-examine fundamental aspects of the ODFL (open, distance and flexible learning) model (as indeed they are for tertiary education more generally), and to re-consider the core ODFL principle of “learner-centricity” and what it might mean within this changing context. The Open Polytechnic of New Zealand has recently undertaken a major programme of digital and organisational transformation to meet the changing needs of its distinctive learner constituency, and to enhance the organisation’s flexibility in responding to changing external factors. This institutional reengineering that disaggregates functions and unbundles processes and services, holds potential for both improved performance and enhanced partnering opportunities within a network of provision.
Challenges and Opportunities in the Implementation of School-Based Teacher Professional Development: A Case from Kenya
Authors: Wambugu Patriciah Wanjiku , Stutchbury Kris , Dickie Joan
Published: July 2022

This study investigated how a school-based professional development programme, designed by the Headteacher and staff of a Kenyan primary school, and delivered by a Teacher Education in Sub-Saharan Africa (TESSA) team, supported teacher learning and growth. The TESSA team observed teaching in the classroom before the implementation of the school-based teacher professional programme. This was followed by the training of the teachers in the school. The TESSA team did an evaluation of the school-based training programme through classroom observation, an interview schedule and a teacher questionnaire. The evaluations were done three months and one year, respectively, after the school-based training.  The findings indicate that teachers experienced professional growth through collaborative learning with colleagues, used a greater range of approaches and learned to self-reflect on their classes with more use of active learning.  Teachers made productive use of textbooks as well as accessing and using TESSA OER in teaching.
Getting to Open at a Closed Institution: A Case Study of Evolving and Sustaining Open Education Practices
Authors: Morgan Tannis
Published: July 2022

This study examined a Canadian post-secondary institution in the period between 2010 and 2014, with a follow-up assessment in 2018 in order to understand its evolution with open educational resources (OER) and open educational practices (OEP). In the first timeline, the study looked at drivers that contributed to the uptake of OER in relation to the type of OER and factors contributing to the diffusion of OER. In the second timeline, the study looked at whether OEPs are being sustained and how they evolved at the institution. Results show that within the institution there are both benefits and tensions to being open, and an institutional approach that considers openness on a case-by-case basis is appropriate. In looking at these two time periods, the study fills a gap in OER research by providing a more longitudinal view of an institutional shift towards initiating and sustaining openness.
Supporting Open Practices with Teachers in Zambia
Authors: Stutchbury Kris , Gallastegi Lore , Woodward Clare
Published: July 2022

This paper demonstrates how the features and affordances of open learning have been developed in new and productive ways to provide school-based continuing professional development for teachers in Zambia. It presents and critically reviews data from 200 teachers who have taken part in phase 1 of the Zambian Education School-based Training (ZEST) – a project which, over the next three years, will be scaled-up across Zambia. The project is underpinned by the belief that knowledge about teaching is co-constructed through participation in, and reflection on, practice. Thus, the emphasis is on empowering teachers to work together to develop practices appropriate to their context – open practices. In the study, we describe an on-going process of realist evaluation which enables us to establish at an early stage what works in which contexts and informs on-going project planning. It concludes that this approach to evaluation has the potential to be helpful in understanding open practices and how they can be developed.
Is Blended Learning Better than Online Learning for B.Ed Students?
Authors: Ranjan Prabhas
Published: July 2022

Blended learning is a newly emerging area of research and practice in educational institutions. It is defined as a useful and reasonable combination of online and face-to-face learning and is acclaimed as a successful mode of teaching. The recent growth of online education, which is without classroom interaction, in a developing country like India therefore presents a reason to verify the relative effectiveness of these teaching modes. This study was an experimental study spread over two years, to compare the effectiveness of the blended learning mode and the online learning modes (including their specific teaching-learning strategies) for a B.Ed curriculum. A randomly selected sample of students with a comparable level of intelligence quotient (IQ) was subjected to both controlled (face-to-face) and experimental treatments (online and blended learning). The participants were the students of a predominantly face-to-face mode of a B.Ed Course. The researcher found that the average achievement scores of the blended learning mode were higher than the online learning mode. It appears that the interaction of the instructor and the learners was a critical factor for the better performance of blended learning. This research also suggests that blended learning resulted in better learning attainment and motivation. Blended learning has potential to support learner-centric teaching-learning endeavours. It is an important finding for the emerging trend towards online learning in India. It is also relevant in the context of the conditions created by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has put constraints on the face-to-face mode of teaching.

The researcher thus set out to bring to the limelight some recommendations for the use of educational technologies for remote learning in Cameroon and propose some suggestions to the government, the policy makers, the stakeholders and the teachers for more effective implementation of E-learning in Higher Education Institutions in Cameroon.
Learning Software Development through Modeling using an Object Oriented Approach with Unified Modeling Language: A Case of an Online Interview System
Authors: Kalinga Ellen Ambakisye
Published: July 2022

This paper demonstrates the learning of software engineering through modeling using Object-Oriented Analysis and Design approach with Unified Modeling Language. An online interview management system case project to the whole class was used to develop the software requirement specification. Through modelling, the processes to be considered in software development were also elaborated, where it starts with the identification of major or basic processes of the domain of application, followed by the identification of activities to be performed under each basic process and, finally, transforming the activities highlighted in the functional requirements presentation. Modeling was practised by students through group case projects, and students were active, engaging and focusing on the learning process in such a way that more than 85.9% of students had the courage to attempt design questions during university examinations.
