DOES SUBNATIONAL PUBLIC FINANCE COMPONENTS AFFECT STATES’ FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY IN NIGERIA?
Authors: Wayas Jim Pam , Onmonya Lucky , Ebire Kolawole
Published: June 2024

Objective: The study examined the effect of subnational public finance components on states’ fiscal sustainability in Nigeria. Specifically, the study sought to examine the effect of internally generated revenue and statutory allocation, on states’ fiscal sustainability.
 
Theoretical Framework: Keynesian theory suggests that public expenditure revitalizes the economy, and increases the rate of fiscal unsustainability, which in turn makes households feel wealthier on the basis of government spending and leads to an increase in savings.
 
Method: An ex-post facto research design was adopted to carry out the research for the period 2016-2022. The panel data were collected and sourced from Audited Financial Statements of subnational, CBN statistical Bulletin, CBN Annual report and accounts, and other publications of 36 states. Ordinary least square regression was used to analyse the hypothesis with the aid of E-views 12.
 
Results and Discussion: The study found that internally generated revenue has a significant effect on states’ fiscal sustainability in Nigeria. The study also found that statutory allocation has a significant effect on states’ fiscal sustainability. The study recommends that sub-nationals should ensure a steady increase in internally generated revenue which will help to control the level of fiscal sustainability and increase the statutory allocation sharing formula in favour of sub-nationals because many states are unable to finance their expenditure.
 
Research Implications: Furthermore, the viability of many states and the need to allocate more resources and power to the lower-tier governments to enhance their fiscal capability and operational efficiency.
 
Originality/Value: This study has provided new evidence on the contribution of fiscal policy in increasing the sustainability index of debt to GDP among 36 states in Nigeria using up-to-date data set through the pairwise methodology.

Published: June 2024

Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar os métodos de ensino e avaliação utilizados por preceptores de residências em saúde, além dos fatores associados, antes de um Curso de Especialização em Preceptoria Multiprofissional, por meio de um estudo transversal. No início da oferta do curso, entre agosto e setembro de 2022, 1112 preceptores de todas as regiões do país e de diferentes níveis de atenção à saúde responderam a um questionário on-line. Os métodos de ensino e avaliação mais utilizados foram, respectivamente, a discussão de caso (92,09%) e a observação direta (78,69%). Preceptores que recebem bolsa complementar utilizam mais frequentemente a aprendizagem baseada em problemas (Problem Based Learning - PBL) e a sala de aula invertida, além da avaliação em ambientes da prática clínica e a avaliação 360°. Métodos de avaliação envolvendo simulação e o mini-exercício clínico avaliativo (Mini-CEX) são utilizados por menos de 10% dos preceptores. Apenas 53,15% dos preceptores oferecem feedback das avaliações formais. A variedade e a frequência de uso das metodologias, bem como a oferta de feedback, devem ser consideradas no planejamento de novas formações em preceptoria.

From shelters to communities: Frederick Cuny's approach to disaster relief
Authors: Fraile-Garrido Patricia , Martín-Robles Inés
Published: June 2024

This article examines the enduring influence of Frederick Cuny, a pioneering humanitarian whose work revolutionized disaster relief and refugee camp design. It explores Cuny's legacy in reshaping notions of permanence and temporality in camps, blurring the lines between these spaces and conventional cities. Cuny's approach challenged traditional rigid grid layouts, emphasizing community-based, decentralized designs that prioritized open spaces. His principles of community participation, development over aid, and the shift from shelter products to sheltering processes - ideas that the article links to the work of John F.C. Turner - continue to shape contemporary disaster management strategies. By examining two important case studies in which Cuny was involved, Camp Choloma and Program Kuchuba’l, the article also underscores the vital link between the spatial organization of camps and their social dynamics, emphasizing how camps evolve into permanent communities. Cuny's groundbreaking work remains highly pertinent in addressing modern challenges, including natural disasters, ongoing refugee crises, and substandard housing.
Analysis of the Relationships between Sport Participation, Physical Activity, and Concurrent Substance Misuse in College Students: A Gender-Stratified Analysis in the Post-Pandemic Period

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in increased substance use and misuse (SUM). The period in which one undergoes college education is known to be associated with a greater risk of SUM, and there is a need for greater awareness of the risks associated with concurrent SUM in the post-pandemic years. The aim of this study was to evaluate the gender-specific relationships between physical activity levels (PAL), sport participation, and concurrent SUM among college students in the first post-pandemic year. The participants were college students from Croatia and from Bosnia and Herzegovina (n=398) who were tested on sport factors (involvement in individual and team sports, time of involvement, frequency of training, sport achievement), physical activity levels (PALs), and concurrent SUM (simultaneous consumption of cigarettes and alcohol) by using structured anonymous previously validated questionnaires immediately after the pandemic period. Sport factors and PALs were not significantly associated with concurrent SUM in the total sample or in male students. In female students, higher competitive achievement in sports was shown to be associated with the risk of concurrent SUM (OR=1.45, 95%CI:1.11-1.98). The results evidenced an increased risk of concurrent SUM in female students who achieved greater success in sports. Therefore, it seems that public health authorities should develop specific educational and preventive programs in female athletes. The timing of this study was in the first post-pandemic year which could have at least partially influenced our findings.

Accountability and fiscal transfer: The perfect duo for enhancing the regional economy
Authors: Bakri Muhammad Rafi , Putu Permana Bagiada  , Yogantari Ni Luh Rosinta , Marlina Luh Sri
Published: June 2024

Each region in Indonesia receives varying amounts of fiscal transfers from the central government, influenced by regional characteristics and accountability. This study examines the impact of fiscal transfers with accountability as a catalyst for the economic growth of Indonesia's regions proxied by gross regional domestic income. The independent variables are the General Allocation Fund (DAU), Special Allocation Fund (DAK), and Revenue Sharing Fund (DBH), while accountability as control variables proxied by BPK audit findings, bureaucratic reform (RB), SAKIP, and APIP scores. Data from 34 provinces over 2016-2020 (170 observations) were analyzed using a fixed effects model and Panel Corrected Standard Error regression. This research fills a gap by examining the simultaneous effects of fiscal transfers on economic growth. The findings indicate that fiscal transfers significantly impact regional economies. The DAK has the highest effect, followed by DBH and DAU. Accountability, measured by APIP, SAKIP, RB scores, and BPK audit findings, is essential for efficient use of transfer funds. BPK audit findings negatively impact the regional economy, underscoring the need for regional governments to improve accountability to optimize central government transfers and support economic growth. Thus, fiscal transfers and accountability are pivotal for enhancing regional financial management and economic performance.
L’itinéraire cognitif de la créativité dans l’activité traduisante
Authors: Güler Sultan Dilek
Published: June 2024

Depuis que l’on considère la traduction comme étant une activité et non uniquement comme un résultat, on remarque que sa pratique engendre des problèmes auxquels les solutions trouvées ne sont pas toujours suffisantes. Même si la traduction a gagné une certaine estime ces dernières décennies, la valeur et l’importance du traducteur ne sont pas totalement reconnues. Dans une divergence entre l’œuvre originale et sa traduction, on accuse très facilement le traducteur. Il manque encore de fondement quant à ses choix. Pourquoi la créativité est-elle nécessaire en traduction et quel chemin faut-il suivre pour y aboutir? Jusqu’où le traducteur est-il en droit dans l’aspect créatif de sa traduction ? Cet article a pour but de démontrer la nécessité de la créativité en traduction littéraire et de tracer le cheminement de la créativité dans l’activité traduisante tout en essayant de cerner les limites de cette créativité. Il va nous permettre de tracer l’itinéraire que le traducteur va devoir parcourir pour aboutir à une traduction correcte et créative. Nous soulignerons également l’importance du traducteur duquel va dépendre la mise en œuvre de toute l’activité traduisante. Ce travail nous permettra de démontrer en parallèle l’importance des connaissances linguistiques d’une part mais également périlinguistiques, telles que les valeurs culturelles et artistiques dont doit être muni le traducteur, qui vont justement permettre d’aboutir à une traduction correcte mais surtout créative. La créativité en traduction va aussi permettre au traducteur de justifier ses choix lorsqu’il va se trouver confronté à un problème que l’on ne peut résoudre en suivant les enseignements des théories ou pratiques de la traductologie.
Göç ve dil edinimi: Türkiye’de mevcut durum ve eğitim politikaları üzerine bir inceleme
Authors: Kayahan Yüksel Didem , Yüksel Abdulkadir
Published: June 2024

Göç hem göç eden bireyleri hem de ev sahibi konumda bulunan ülkeyi derinden etkileyen, bireylerin yaşamlarında kültürel, sosyal ve siyasi değişikliklere yol açan bir olgudur. Göçün uzun vadeli etkilerini öngörmek zor olsa da entegrasyonun sağlanmasının her iki taraf için de yararları olduğu bilinmektedir. Gerçek bir entegrasyondan bahsedilebilmesi için göç eden bireylerin ev sahibi ülkenin dilini öğrenmesi bir zorunluluktur. Dil edinimi göç eden bireyin yeni dahil olduğu çevreye uyumunu kolaylaştıracak ve haklarından etkin biçimde faydalanmasına da zemin hazırlayacaktır. Suriye İç Savaşı’nın etkileriyle Dünya’da en fazla sayıda göçmene ev sahipliği yapan Türkiye sağlık, eğitim, istihdam gibi birçok alanda büyük bir sınav vermektedir. Bu bağlamda bu çalışmada göç ve dil edinimi çerçevesinde Türkiye’deki mevcut durum ve uygulanan eğitim politikaları incelenmiştir. Çalışmada ayrıca göçmenlerin eğitim haklarını düzenleyen uluslararası ve ulusal metinler sunulmuştur. Türkiye’de göçmenlerin dil edinimi ve okullaşmalarına yönelik ciddi çalışmaların olmasıyla birlikte hedeflenen okullaşma oranına ve dolayısıyla beklenen toplumsal uyum seviyesine ulaşılamadığı üzücü bir gerçektir. Bu nedenle bu alanda yapılacak bilimsel araştırmaların artırılması ve diğer ülkelerden örnek uygulamalar incelenerek mevcut durumda yapılabilecekler adına yeni eğitim politikalarının geliştirilmesi önerilmektedir.
Sovyet döneminde ünlü bir Türkolog’un hikâyesi: B. A. Serebrennikov
Authors: Ataklı Saçak Fatma
Published: June 2024

Hint – Avrupa, Fin-Ugor ve Türk Dilleri alanında dünyanın önde gelen uzmanları arasında gösterilen Sovyet Dilbilimci Boris Aleksandroviç Serebrennikov’un dilbilim alanında yürüttüğü araştırmalar, günümüzde etkin olarak gelişen toplumdilbilim, kültürdilbilim, ruhdilbilim, bilişsel dilbilim gibi alanların kuramsal temellerinin oluşmasında önemli bir rol oynar, söz konusu alanlar için zengin bir hazine sunar. Kırk yıllık çalışma hayatına 350’den fazla makale, 11 kitap sığdıran ünlü dilbilimcinin bilimsel hayatı, fırtınalı bir yaşamı yansıtır. Sovyet dilbiliminde kaotik bir atmosfer yaratan Nikolay Yakovleviç Marr’ın yeni dil öğretisi karşısında klasik dilbilimi savunur, inandığı ilkelerinden ödün vermez, tüm yıldırma politikalarına karşın her fırsatta söz konusu öğretinin hatalı yönlerini eleştirir. Çocukluğundan beri dillere karşı sonsuz bir merakı olan ve çok yönlü bir araştırma isteği duyan Serebrennikov, Hint-Avrupa dillerinin yanı sıra Fin-Ugor ve Türk dilleri ile de ilgilenir, söz konusu alanlara büyük bir ivme kazandırır, önemli fikirler ortaya atar. Türkoloji alanında önemli araştırmalarda bulunan bilim insanının bazı eserlerinden son dönemde yararlanıldığı tespit edilse de ülkemizde yeterince tanınmadığı anlaşılmıştır. Bu sebeple Serebrennikov’un şahsiyetini, onun bilimsel anlayışını ve eserlerini, yaşadığı Sovyet döneminin sosyal, siyasi ve bilimsel yapısını ortaya koyan bir çalışmaya rastlanmamış olması bizi bu çalışmaya sevk etmiştir. Araştırma kaynakları çerçevesinde Serebrennikov’un kaleme aldığı kitaplar, makaleler, editörlüğünü üstlendiği derlemeler, onunla ilgili bilgiler sunan makaleler ve çeşitli eserlerle birlikte yeni dil öğretisini açıklayan Marr’ın eserleri ve diğer bilimsel kaynaklar incelenmiştir. Çalışmamızda betimsel yöntemle ünlü dilbilimcinin başlıca eserlerinin, bilimsel anlayışının, görüşlerinin ve Türkoloji çalışmalarının incelenmesiyle birlikte XX. yy. Sovyet dilbiliminde Stalin’in gölgesinde gelişen ve Serebrennikov’un yaşadığı dönemi yansıtan, bilimsel eserlerini etkileyen yeni dil öğretisi karşısındaki tutumuna değinilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Kırgızca ve Rusça sözcük çağrışımlarının karşılaştırılması
Authors: Barlas Süleyman
Published: June 2024

Zihindeki bir duygu, düşünce veya imgenin bir diğerini akla getirmesi durumu olarak açıklanabilen çağrışım kavramı 2000 yılı aşkın bir geçmişe sahiptir. Sözcükler bütün duygu, düşünce veya imgeleri karşılama işlevine sahip olduğu için çağrışım kavramının temel öğeleri olarak kabul edilir. Ancak sözcükler zihinde sözlüklerde yer aldığı gibi alfabetik sıraya göre dizilmemektedir. Zihindeki dizilimde her sözcüğün kendi anlamsal bağlarının, bireysel ve toplumsal deneyimlerin, toplumların dünya görüşlerinin etkisi görülür. Bu nedenle sözcüklerin çağrışım ağları bireyden bireye, kültürden kültüre ve dönemden döneme farklılık gösteren dinamik bir yapıya sahiptir. Bu çalışmada 1975 yılında L. N. Titova tarafından hazırlanan Kirgizsko-Russkiy Assotsiativnıy Slovar' “Kırgızca-Rusça Çağrışım Sözlüğü” adlı eserde yer alan bazı sözcüklerin çağrışımları arasındaki benzerlikler ve farklılıklar sosyolinguistik açıdan incelenmiştir.

Subdesarrollo y Derechos Humanos
Authors: Ellacuría Ignacio
Published: June 2024

Ignacio Ellacuría, a medida que su prestigio y reconocimiento crecía tanto como pensador y como hombre de acción que luchaba a favor de la justicia, recibía muchas invitaciones para participar en eventos a escala global. El inédito que acá se presenta contiene el discurso pronunciado por Ellacuría durante el Tercer Encuentro Internacional de los jóvenes en Venecia, organizado por alguna organización católica o cristiana de relevancia, en el año de 1987. Estamos hablando ya de un Ellacuría con un pensamiento filosófico y teológico de gran complejidad y madurez pero que, sin embargo, es capaz de colocarse en un plano de empatía y cercanía con la juventud, en este caso europea y, por tanto, privilegiada en términos de acceso al bienestar material. En el discurso Ellacuría logra con un persuasivo lenguaje apelar a dicha juventud, a su energía, imaginación y racionalidad para despertar en ella la conciencia de los males que la injusticia ocasiona en el más extenso y hondo mundo subdesarrollado. La tesis general que desarrolla en este discurso sostiene que la insolidaridad entre los pueblos es la base de la mayor parte de los problemas del subdesarrollo y es asimismo una de las principales fuentes que alimenta el abuso ocasionado a través de las graves violaciones a los derechos humanos. Se trata de un discurso, que salta a primera vista, guarda hoy en día la mayor vigencia y actualidad.

Painted portraits of former institution leaders - almost all of them painted by János Dienes - still decorate the Rector's Council Room and the corridor of the University of Debrecen's Main Building. The paintings were once part of a gallery of more than thirty portraits of the great figures of the university. The Hall of Portraits - the existence of which is attested by documents and photographs from the period - has survived only in fragments. However, research has revealed that several pieces of the collection are currently kept in the Déri Museum in Debrecen.
Investigating the digital proficiency of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) educators in association with their professional identity
Authors: Marisa Riris , Rachmajanti Sri , Anugerahwati Mirjam
Published: June 2024

The current technological disruption involves educational reorientation as an enhancement of education for sustainable development. In the realm of English language education, teachers’ professional development is expected to better overcome new educational circumstances, of which one of the variables is digital competence as the influential factor for technology integration in the educational field. A case study involving 5 EFL teachers from different domains and educational backgrounds was intended to dismantle EFL teachers’ digital competence manifested in their professional identity (PI). DigCompEdu framework (Redecker & Punie, 2017)  and teachers’ personal interpretative framework (Kelchtermans, 1993) guided the thematic analysis. Following the DigCompEdu framework, organizational communication, professional collaboration & reflective practice were disclosed as contributing factors to support EFL teachers’ PI development. Besides, abreasting the teachers’ personal interpretative framework, task perception and job motivation were unraveled as digital competency manifested in EFL teachers’ PI. In general, the accentuated data analysis pointed out that EFL teachers possessed multiple identities that are alternate in social interaction and pedagogical implication. The findings are deemed valuable to inform the teachers’ excessive values and beliefs of digital competency in relation to their PI. EFL practitioners are able to self reflect the findings into their contextual experiences. Educational institutions, government, and other nested education stakeholders are suggested to equip practical supports towards EFL teachers’ digital competence development. Finally, limitations of the study and suggestions for further research are discussed.

Happiness in Islam and Influencing Factors (SLR Approach)
Authors: Ranti  Wiliasih  , Hermanto Siregar  , Tony Irawan  , Irfan Syauqi Beik
Published: June 2024

Islam is a religion that commands humans to pursue happiness both here and hereafter. Previous research states that many factors can influence happiness. However, these factors emphasize worldly happiness which is temporary, while the goal that humans want to achieve is not only happiness in this world but true happiness in the hereafter. This study explores the factors that influence individual happiness and examines the impact of faith and other factors on happiness. This research uses a systematic literature review method, precisely the Prisma method and has identified 3540 research results from Google Scholar, and screened into 1265 documents, then into 99 and selected 87 qualifying studies. The results of the analysis of this number of documents found that happiness in Islam is divided into temporary and true happiness, here and hereafter. Happiness is influenced by material factors, and non-material factors such as faith and other religiosity behaviors. Happiness derived from material factors is temporary, while religiosity factors such as faith, the practice of Sufism and religious behavior bring a sense of closeness to God, and provide tranquility and peace, which is an indication of true happiness.
Long temporal trend and seasonal variation analysis of forest fires in Brazilian biomes: A stochastic approach
Authors: Villar Bartolo de Jesús , Pérez Rodríguez Paulino , De Souza Amaury
Published: June 2024

This study uses a Bayesian Structural Poisson model to address the increasing frequency of wildfires in Brazilian biomes. Long-term trends, seasonal behavior, and the impact of certain meteorological variables on the occurrence of forest fires were identified in the following biomes: Amazon, Caatinga, Cerrado, Atlantic Forest, Pampa, and Pantanal. Nonlinear temporal trends were observed in all biomes, with varying annual increments between 1999-2020: 5.5 % in Pampa, 4.9 % in Pantanal, 3.0 % in Caatinga, 2.3 % in Amazon, 2.2 % in Atlantic Forest, and 2.2 % in Cerrado. Seasonal patterns were present in all biomes, with similarities among the Amazon, Caatinga, Cerrado, and Atlantic Forest, while the Pampa and Pantanal displayed a bimodal pattern. Environmental factors such as evapotranspiration, precipitation, and temperature had significant effects on fire occurrence in different biomes. The findings of this study contribute valuable insights into fire patterns and their relationships with environmental factors in Brazilian biomes, helping to inform fire management and prevention strategies.

Human Flourishing and our Relationships with Nature
Authors: Shahar Dan C.
Published: June 2024

Abstract: Some environmentalist writers argue human flourishing depends on rich engagement with wild ecosystems and biodiversity, such that inadequate conservation would undermine our prospects for happiness. To succeed, arguments of this kind must specify a connection between flourishing and ecological engagement that can accommodate happiness' diverse manifestations while also being sufficiently particular to require well-protected ecosystems. I argue these conditions cannot both be met. It is true that nature enriches our lives, that much of its value comes from engagement with wilderness and biodiversity, and that conservation often is a sound investment. But humans can flourish in many ways that do not involve rich relationships with nature, and meaningful ecological engagement can occur even in degraded and urbanized environments. By acknowledging these possibilities, conservationists can advocate for nature without pigeonholing themselves as proselytes for a narrow conception of the good life.
Comprehensive study of Toxocara cati infection in stray cats at Al-Anbar province: Molecular detection and investigation vision

Cats are important hosts for different zoonotic including Toxocara, a group of ‎parasitic roundworms known as ascarid nematodes. This study aimed to analyse the ‎presence of T. ‎cati in stray cats in Al-Anbar province. Iraq This is first study of this ‎parasite in Al-Anbar province, which include the prevalence of T. ‎cati in stray ‎cats, as well as molecular study. This study was conducted on 50 stray cats, were examined ‎clinically, the signs were recorded for each animal, as well as the collection of faecal ‎samples to detect the eggs of parasite under microscope, and molecular examinations. ‎Blood samples also examined to know the effect of parasite on blood cells, especially the ‎eosinophils. Our results recognized the prevalence of infection was 48% when the ‎molecular method was used, and 40% when the microscopy method was used. Clinically, ‎the infected cats with signs were 4 (8%) from the total sick animals, as well as the same ‎percentage appeared in haematological examination (the eosinophilia). However, in Al-‎Anbar cities, T. cati is highly prevalent among stray cats. In order to eradicate the T. cati ‎parasite from the region's stray cat population, efficient methods for doing so need to be ‎devised, and public education on animal and human health should also be stressed‎‎‎‎.
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and Dentistry: A lethal connect
Authors: C.S. Baiju  , Diya Pandey
Published: June 2024

In the unfolding narrative of global health, the ominous spectre of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) looms large, presenting an ever more urgent challenge to public health systems worldwide. Antibiotics are a primary tool in the field of therapeutic medicine & dentistry & they saturate the Indian pharmaceutical markets. Dentistry places substantial reliance on use of antibiotics in prophylaxis & therapy, but this dependence contributes to the overuse & misuse of these drugs. A significant number of prescriptions are frequently deemed superfluous. Furthermore, antibiotics are readily accessible over the counter in addition to being subject to notable instances of overprescription. The absence of timely antibiotic culture & susceptibility tools accelerates the dissemination of resistance, resembling a wildfire. Given current trends, it appears we are unwittingly fostering a situation akin to Frankenstein's monster. But is this foresight or mere paranoia? Our focus must centre not only on bolstering surveillance but also on the understanding of the need of antibiotics in dental treatment, advocating for responsible antibiotic usage & advancing research into innovative treatments, in return fortifying healthcare systems. Failure to curb the spread of antimicrobial resistance, at best- jeopardises individual health to a point of no return, & at its worst- undermines the sustainability of modern medicine as we know it. This article is aimed to depict the contemporary landscape of antimicrobial resistance within the realm of dentistry ,speculate on its potential detrimental trajectory.

Authors: Binnendyk Sophia , Maruanaya Hendrik Jacob , Titarsole Yeri
Published: June 2024

This research aims to explore the student perspective regarding the incorporation of 21st Century Learning Skills, commonly referred to as the 4C's (Critical Thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, and Communication), through project-based learning in the 'Material Development' class. The primary focus is to assess the effectiveness of applying these 4C's in enhancing students' material development. The study involved 15 postgraduate students from the English Study Program at Pattimura University, Ambon, during the academic year 2022-2023. Data collection encompassed three close-ended Likert scale questionnaires. One questionnaire was distributed among the participating students to gauge their perceptions of the 4C learning skills. Meanwhile, two other questionnaires were administered to lecturers to evaluate the content and visual design of five English lessons developed by student groups (comprising three students per group) to assess the effectiveness of integrating the 4C's learning skills in lesson creation. The outcomes from the students' questionnaires indicated a positive spectrum of perceptions regarding the application of the 4C's, ranging from 'strongly agree' (34.25%) to 'agree' (56.5%), with 'neutral' (7.75%) and 'disagree' (1.25%) responses constituting the remaining percentages. Evaluation from the expert's questionnaire on lesson content revealed a mean score of 95% for lessons 1, 2, and 3, categorized as 'very good,' while lessons 4 and 5 scored 73.5%, indicating a 'good' rating. Additionally, the assessment of visual design across the five lessons garnered a mean score of 88.2%, categorized as 'exemplary.' These findings suggest that integrating 21st-century learning skills, specifically the 4C's, is highly beneficial and recommended for application within the teaching and learning processes.

Permasalahan yang sering dijumpai di sekolah-sekolah terkait pelaksanaan praktikum adalah minimnya peralatan karena kurangnya sarana dan prasana penunjang kegiatan praktikum, kurangnya kreativitas dalam menyusun topik praktikum dan minimnya pengatahuan guru dalam memanfaatkan bahan-bahan alami yang dapat dijadikan sebagai bahan alternatif dalam pelaksanaan proses praktikum. Permasalahan inilah yang dialami oleh guru biologi pada SMA  Negeri 1 Seram Bagian Barat, dimana khususnya untuk konsep mikrobiologi tidak di lakukan praktikum, dikarenakan dalam pelaksanaannya membutuhkan alat dan bahan yang banyak juga proses kerja yang harus steril. Tetapi karena alat dan bahan yang tidak lengkap dan bahkan tidak tersedia karena bahan untuk pertumbuhan mikroba cukup mahal dan butuh waktu yang lama dalam proses inkubasi serta pengamatan mikroba (bakteri dan kapang) yakni memerlukan waktu 2-3 hari. Hal ini yang menyebabkan guru mengalami kesulitan untuk melakukan praktikum terkait konsep mikrobiologi sehingga prakitkum belum pernah dilakukan. Oleh karena itu, tujuan dari pelaksanaan pengabdian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan work skill guru dan research skill siswa pada sekolah tersebut melalui pendampingan dan pelatihan menggunakan draft penuntun praktikum. Berdasarkan hasil yang diperoleh diketahui bahwa kemampuan kerja dan keterampilan guru dan juga kemampuan siswa semakin meningkat.
