The teaching and learning process is the core of education with teachers and learners playing the main roles. Evaluation is a key aspect of the educational process, ensuring the achievement of curriculum objectives. Evaluation not only measures student learning outcomes, but also helps understand the learning process and provides information for further improvement. Evaluation can be either test or non-test, and the use of both methods depends on the purpose of the assessment and the aspects of learning to be assessed. This research uses a literature review to explore the concepts and methods of non-test evaluation in education. Non-test evaluation includes various techniques such as performance assessment, project/product assessment, attitude assessment and others. The development of non-test evaluation is important as it allows for a comprehensive assessment of students' affective and psychomotor aspects, which cannot always be measured by written tests. The functions of non-test evaluation in education include measuring affective and psychomotor aspects, providing a holistic picture of students' abilities, supporting individualized learning, motivating students, and identifying strengths and weaknesses in learning. As such, non-test evaluation is an integral component of the learning process that helps maximize overall educational outcomes.

Published: September 2024

Effective solid waste management (SWM) is paramount for environmental sustainability and public health, particularly in coastal communities. This cross-sectional descriptive study determines SWM awareness and practices among 399 households in selected coastal barangays in the City of Mati, Davao Oriental, Philippines. Employing a structured four-point Likert-type survey through KoboCollect applications, this study evaluates SWM awareness and practices while examining the impact of socio-demographic factors on these aspects. The results reveal moderate SWM awareness (X̄=2.55) and practices (X̄=2.66) in these coastal communities, indicating a baseline level of environmental consciousness and waste management efforts. However, there was lack of familiarity with legal and regulatory frameworks (X̄=1.97), including the Republic Act 9003 and local ordinances related to SWM. Notable gaps are also identified in SWM practices, mainly in waste segregation (X̄ = 2.55) and avoidance to waste-burning (X̄=2.56). Socio-demographic factors, such as age, educational attainment, household size, and family income, significantly influence SWM awareness and practices. These findings underscore the need for targeted educational campaigns and community engagement strategies to enhance awareness of SWM regulations. Addressing these gaps is necessary for developing effective interventions to promote sustainable waste management practices in these coastal areas, thus protecting marine ecosystems and supporting the well-being of local communities.

ROLE OF SOIL MICROBES IN MODULATION OF PLANT DEFENSE AGAINST INSECT PESTS: A REVIEW
Authors: Sharma Rama , Kumar Aditya , Bagri Amit , Chandra Vikas
Published: September 2024

A vital role of soil microbes is to keep plants healthy and productive. There is growing interest in the role of soil microbes in plant defense against insect pests. Soil microbes can influence plant resistance to insect pests by interacting with plants. They produce compounds that can degrade insect toxins and make plants resistant to pests. By understanding the complex interactions between soil microbes, plants, and insect pests, strategies could be developed to enhance crop resilience and reduce reliance on chemical inputs. They can improve plant defense by generating secondary metabolites, breaking down insecticidal substances, and promoting systemic resistance. Using soil microbes for pest management has significant implications for the environment, human health, and the economy. However, further research is needed to fully understand the interactions between soil microbes and plants and develop standardized protocols for their use in pest management. Overall, the use of soil microbes has the potential to provide a sustainable and eco-friendly solution to the problem of insect pests in agriculture. This review discusses this interaction, its implications in insect pest management, and the challenges of their use in plant defense..

Names as a trans technology
Authors: Sinclair-Palm Julia
Published: September 2024

Children are often given a name based in some part on the sex they were assigned at birth. For trans youth, their given name does not always reflect their gender and so an aspect of their transition often includes changing their name. Drawing on interviews with trans youth in Australia, Ireland and Canada, I explore how trans youths’ naming practices offer insight into the ways that they express their desire for intelligibility and safety, while simultaneously navigating gender norms and a new sense of identity. In this paper, I engage with trans studies and critical child studies to argue that naming practices are a trans technology that trans youth use to strategically navigate gender. For some trans youth, chosen first names are described as way to be seen as one of the two societally recognized genders (man or woman), and for others, their chosen first name reflects their resistance to cisnormativity and naming practices that adhere to binary gender norms.
‘The family fight is on!’
Authors: Castrén Anna-Maija
Published: September 2024

Finnish marital surnaming practices give precedence to the husband’s surname as the family name after marriage. Legislation treats partners symmetrically and offers alternatives, but a patriarchal mindset still has a hold on the transition to a family. This article analyses interviews of 19 mixed-sex wedding couples and focuses on how they resort to humour in discussing alternatives to patrilineal practice. Literature shows that humour plays an important role in maintaining and regulating close relationships, but it can also be used as an indirect way to dismiss partners’ concerns. The results of this exploratory and descriptive analysis of couple interviews highlight different ways in which humour is used when discussing the potentially sensitive matter of marital surnaming.

Authors: Rosheen Misbah
Published: September 2024

This study examines the effectiveness of in-service teacher training programmes in Pakistan, particularly in implementing the Single National Curriculum (SNC) 2020 for English. Employing a qualitative research design, data was collected through semi-structured interviews with Primary School Teachers (PSTs) teaching English in government schools of Punjab. As per the findings, the online mode of SNC training is found to be ineffective, with teachers expressing a preference for face-to-face training that involves practical demonstrations. Furthermore, [1]issues such as inadequate planning, lack of learning resources, and disparities between the curriculum and actual classroom conditions were highlighted. ESL teachers also reported challenges linked with the socio-economic background of students and poor infrastructure in schools, particularly in rural areas. The study highlights the need for enhanced teacher training programmes that incorporate practical, hands-on experiences and address context-specific challenges. Recommendations include conducting face-to-face training sessions, providing learning materials, recruiting competent trainers, and improving school infrastructure. The findings underscore the pivotal role of teacher training in the successful implementation of educational innovations, suggesting that ongoing and sustained professional development is necessary to facilitate teachers in applying new curricular practices effectively.

It has been over 900 days since Russia launched its so-called ‘three-day crusade’ to capture Kyiv. The way we talk about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has far-reaching implications, not only for public perception but also for international policy and accountability. How we label this conflict—whether we call it the ‘war in Ukraine’ or ‘Russia’s war against Ukraine’—influences how we understand responsibility, justice, and the path to peace.
El suelo y su grito de auxilio.
Authors: García Carrillo Mario
Published: September 2024

Aunque sueñes con conquistar el universo, vive con los pies en el suelo. Soy tan antiguo como el origen del planeta mismo, alrededor de 4500 millones de años. Soy el suelo, la piel del planeta, la parte más expuesta de la corteza terrestre, fui formado por la acción de factores heredados como ambientales, contribuyendo al origen de la vida en la litosfera, pasaron muchos años para poseer la morfología y características que conocen. Una de mis principales funciones es ser almacén de elementos nutritivos y agua, mismas que permiten sustentar la vegetación nativa, forestal y agrícola. Soy fácilmente degradable por procesos físicos y antropogenicos que provocan rápidamente perder mi potencial productivo; sin embargo el peligro más intensivo son las actividades que el hombre realiza como es el sobrepastoreo, la tala inmoderada, el mal manejo de los residuos, el uso excesivo de agroquímicos, etc. que provocan la acumulación de compuestos y elementos tóxicos para la vida que contengo y no me permiten funcionar adecuadamente, pero que finalmente afecta la salud de todo el ecosistema y los seres humanos, de tal forma que, aproximadamente 45% de los suelos del país, alrededor de 90 millones de hectáreas están afectados por algún tipo de degradación: degradación química (contaminación por compuestos orgánicos e inorgánicos), erosión hídrica, erosión eólica, estos dos procesos adelgazan mi cuerpo y provocan la perdida de mi fertilidad natural y al final la degradación física (compactación), que no me permite respirar adecuadamente, dificultando mi existencia.
A memória no ponto de relação entre sujeito e forma
Authors: Socio Luama
Published: September 2024

Nosso objetivo é investigar o conceito de memória no ponto de relação entre sujeito e forma através de um percurso reflexivo começando no escopo da teoria do conhecimento de Berkeley, Locke e Kant – no que convergem quanto à questão da ideia do conhecedor e do sujeito da razão –,  passando a dialogar com traços da psicanálise de Lacan, da psicologia de Krishnamurti, da educação para autistas de Deligny e do transumanismo explicado por Flusser. A metodologia parte de uma base filosófica histórica sobre o tema e se desenvolve em aproximações autônomas sobre a questão. Se tradicionalmente as considerações sobre a percepção da forma conduzem à conclusão de que esta é o resultado da repetição, seus limites e significados, ou seja, “memória”, e que o processo de intenção de domínio e fixação da forma, seja do sujeito ou de qualquer outra figura do conhecimento, é estabelecido pelo próprio pensamento, pode-se prever que uma certa reverência à forma expressaria uma rigidez espiritual que se diria análoga a uma antifilosofia no sentido de uma antidúvida. A dúvida, como recusa do pensamento estabelecido, assegura a filosofia como o próprio ser que, embora forje e origine o pensamento e, consequentemente memória, é transcendente a ele. Assim resta à filosofia se furtar ao enrijecimento da memória tendo de lidar com o paradoxo de se haver com ela.

Advancing Genetic Disorder Detection: Integrating Nanomaterial-Enhanced Biosensors with Genetic Markers
Authors: Talla Tanushri , Dirisala Hiteshree , Niranjan Deepti , Gadadas Sanjay , Sujith Snigdha , Mandowara Nitya
Published: September 2024

Genetic disorders pose significant challenges in health care because of the more nuanced and costly methods that prolong patient treatment and recovery times. In addition, to ensure a more accurate diagnosis, the process for the detection of this disease can be quite complex and requires excessive testing and counseling, such as hereditary testing. Given these challenges, a new option has arisen in recent decades: nanomaterial-enhanced biosensors. These diagnostic methods are cutting edge and stand out from traditional methods in many areas, some of which include sensitivity, selectivity, and stability. Among other nanomaterials, gold nanoparticles (AUNPs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene (GR), and quantum dots (QDs) stand out in terms of their performance metrics and are the most promising for the field. Thus, they are examined in depth in this paper. AUNPs enable visible color changes for genetic disorder detection through DNA hybridization, CNTs have high sensitivity and conductivity for detecting genetic mutations, GR provides exceptional electrical conductivity and biocompatibility for various biosensing utilizations, and QDs allow for precise and accurate diagnostics owing to their light-emitting properties. Nanomaterial biosensor technology has greatly improved in the field of genetics, including innovations in wireless technology and advancements in faster and more specific disease detection. These findings have helped significantly improve the diagnosis of health conditions. Even with all of these benefits, there are still issues with sensitivity, stability, biocompatibility, nonspecific binding, a low dynamic range, and high costs. Other major obstacles are ethical concerns, such as data privacy. Nanomaterial-based biosensors undoubtedly can change the game in regard to diagnosing and treating genetic conditions, but additional research must be done to improve the cost, applicability, and reliability.

Published: September 2024

The mapping of soil organic carbon (SOC) variability was carried out in a Sahelian region of Senegal by testing the effectiveness to include the Sentinel 2 remote sensed data in the characterization of the soil  properties. Ordinary kriging (OK) applied under ArcGIS is compared with multiple linear regression (MLR) calibrated under R software. The results showed a slight decrease of the root mean square error ranging from 0.18 with kriging to 0.16 for multiple linear regression. Carbon variability was also detailed at a finer scale with multiple linear regression at the pixel scale from 10 to 20 m. Spectral bands situated in the visible wavelength, NDWI and NDVI were the most discriminating explanatory variables in the spatial modeling of organic carbon by multiple linear regression. Specific locations that require inputs of manure or compost were also geo-localized with multiple linear regression in order to ensure sustainable management of soil organic carbon. The use of remote sensed data also puts into perspective the possibility of spatializing the physical and chemical properties of the soil on larger areas and correcting the lack of information on soil mapping in the Sahelian regions of Africa.

This study aims to analyze the role of the financial sector in poverty alleviation in Indonesia using annual data for the period 1980-2014. The ARDL cointegration approach is used to show the existence of a long-run trade-off between the financial sector and poverty alleviation. In addition, the Granger causality VECM method is also used to detect the direction of the causal relationship between the financial sector and poverty. In addition, to measure the time horizon and relative intensity of poverty in response to shocks experienced by the financial sector, impulse response functions (IRF) and variance decomposition (VDC) are used. Private sector money supply and domestic credit ratio are used as indicators of financial sector development, while poverty is measured by household consumption expenditure per capita and economic growth is measured by gross domestic product (GDP) per capita. The results show that there is a long-run relationship between the financial sector, economic growth and poverty alleviation in Indonesia. Furthermore, the results show that there is a two-way causal relationship between the financial sector and poverty. The contribution of money supply and private credit ratio to poverty shocks is positive. Therefore, to accelerate poverty alleviation, the government can adopt a policy that requires commercial banks to provide convenient lending conditions for the poor and the private sector.
