Purpose: The aim of this paper was to investigate the effect of cooperative learning on on the performance of Mathematics students in public day Schools in Rwanda” A case of Karongi District’.  

Methodology: Simple random sampling technique was further applied to obtain Mathematics teachers and students of senior 4, 5 and 6, making 783 target students. The study used a sample of 230 respondents from the sampled schools. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis through the statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 21. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression.

Findings: The results of the findings indicated that the teaching of mathematics via the cooperative learning method was more correlated with the performance of students in Karongi District (r = 0.611; p= 0.000). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that cooperative learning method contributed to 71.9% of variation on the performance, hence plays a vital role in performance of Mathematics students in public secondary schools in Karongi District. Additionally, it was further inferred that cooperative learning method increases positive attitudes toward learning the subject.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: Social constructivism was used. A key factor in social constructivism is that the children’s development is enhanced by participating in activities that are slightly above their level of competence with mastery occurring as a result of help from others; which is enhanced as students are given opportunities to teach each other and practice in a social context. Interactions among students are crucial to cooperative learning and it is the interactions that occur in the groups that help to inspire the learning motivation. The study recommended that to promote the implementation of cooperative learning method effectively, Mathematics teachers should attend seminars, workshops and conferences.

Published: January 2024

Control of surface runoff is a major challenge in sustainable urban stormwater management. High rainfall can cause various problems such as floods and landslides. Related to the problem of surface runoff includes a number of problems that require attention and good solutions to maintain environmental sustainability and prevent negative impacts from surface runoff.  Surface runoff control activities generally tend to be social, technically costly, and relatively long. Collaboration with experts, government, and local stakeholders can also reinforce the concept of successful surface runoff control. The application of the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method is needed as a systematic approach to evaluate and select effective alternative surface runoff control systems, in this study four alternatives were taken based on three criteria. These alternatives involve solutions such as the application of biopores of infiltration wells, rainwater harvesting, retention ponds and green open spaces then these alternatives are evaluated based on relevant criteria, in this study the relevant criteria are taken namely technically, environmentally and cost. The results of this analysis using the AHP method provide relative priority values for each alternative, allowing for the selection of optimal solutions to surface runoff problems. Based on this assessment, it shows that alternative green open space is an optimal solution for surface runoff control systems in urban areas.

The Impacts of Air Pollution on Human Health: A Critical Literature Review
Authors: Maknae Carol
Published: January 2024

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the impacts of air pollution on human health.

Materials and Methods: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low-cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.

Findings: The findings revealed that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the impact of air pollution on human health. Preliminary empirical review revealed higher levels of air pollution were associated with accelerated cognitive decline and an increased risk of cognitive impairment in older adults. Adverse effects of air pollution on the mental health were found in most of the studies reviewed.

Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Particulate Matter Theory, Oxidative Stress Theory and Inflammatory Response Theory may be used to anchor future studies on the Impact of Air Pollution on Human Health. Healthcare systems should be prepared to address the health impacts of air pollution adequately. Healthcare professionals need to be trained to recognize and treat respiratory and cardiovascular conditions related to air pollution exposure. Additionally, governments should allocate sufficient resources to manage the potential increase in healthcare demands due to air pollution-related illnesses. Air pollution is a global issue that requires international cooperation and collaboration. Countries should work together to share best practices, research findings, and technologies for reducing air pollution and improving human health worldwide.

Published: January 2024

Macrofungi are known to be heterotrophic eukaryotes that dwell in rotten wood, decaying matter, grassy ground, and other substrates. Most of them are saprotrophs or decomposers. They provide a big contribution to nutrient cycling as primary producers. The diversity of macrofungi are studied across the globe yet 10% of the species are only identified. This review aimed to provide a systematic information of the diverse species of macrofungi that were collected in the selected sample sites of the Philippines specifically in Catanduanes, Laguna, Nueva Vizcaya, Northen Samar, and Camarines Sur. A total of 250 macrofungal taxaspecies were collected from the five different sample sites. 25 species were found to be present in Nueva Vizcaya, 71 species in Laguna, 81 species in Catanduanes, 39 species in Northern Samar, and 35 species in Camarines Sur. The top 5 families with the most number of species are Psathyrellaceae, Marasmiaceae, Tricholomataceae, Agariceae, and Polyporaceae. The family with the highest number of species collected was known to be Polyporaceae with a total of 62 species and are present in each sample site. Thus, the dominance of this species is evident as it corresponds to the climate and substrate in the country. To maintain the species richness in the area, regular monitoring of macrofungi should be implemented. It is also recommended that more studies of macrofungal biodiversity should be conducted in the Philippines.

In terms of the functional importance with which the (phoneme) was distinguished; We found another importance in (emphasis), which means in the term: an intentional increase in the amount of utterance that diverts the meaning from its destination. In order to prove and confirm it, or turn it around and deny it, this addition - which may come, excuse me, at no cost, is important. Because it often carries a new connotation that was not present in the original phoneme.. In this study, we found that the (colloquial) devoid of the syntactic industry is suitable in terms of application in the phonetic study; Because it leads to accurate results that cannot be obtained in the standard sentence, and Kamal Bishr took advantage of the Egyptian spoken in his applications and examples in his book (Science of Phonetics) without indicating the reason that prompted him to do so, so we expanded on the statement of what he concluded, with applications reproduced from our linguistic reality.

EVOLUTION OF THE REALISTIC ARTISTIC AND AESTHETIC METHOD
Authors: Parkhomenko Kostyantyn
Published: January 2024

This article delves into the evolution of the realist method, examining its interrelation with various artistic trends and currents. The impact of socio-political processes on the method's development is explored, emphasizing the dynamic nature of the artistic method and its continuous modifications in the expression of the author's ideas. The concept of 'realism' as a primary method in art is expounded, with an analysis of the perspectives of philosophers, art critics, and artists on its understanding throughout different epochs of cultural development. Characterizing features of realism are delineated, and a conceptual framework is presented, positing "realism" as a means of engaging with and comprehending spiritual and practical reality. The study establishes that realism serves as a conduit for unveiling the social and historical essence of humanity. Realistic painting, in particular, plays a pivotal role in transmitting the cultural code, illustrating the reciprocal interaction between individuals and their surrounding reality. This interaction contributes to a holistic representation of a specific historical period. The research paper encompasses a comprehensive examination of artistic methods, trends, and concepts, including romanticism, impressionism, symbolism, cubism, modernism, postmodernism, and metamodernism. The article underscores the significance of studying the evolution of realism in the visual arts and posits that the phenomenon in realistic art centers on the symbiotic relationship between individuals and their environment. In conclusion, the article asserts that realism not only unveils national traits but also communicates authentic facts that subsequently contribute to the shaping of historical mentality. The research interest in this exploration stems from a profound concern for understanding the nuanced evolution of realism in the visual arts.
PERSON IN THE ARTISTIC PICTURE OF THE MODERN WORLD: ARTIST, PICTURE, VIEWER
Authors: Jurt Alessya
Published: January 2024

Abstract. The relevance of the research topic is determined by the significant changes that are taking place in contemporary artistic culture. They are connected, firstly, with the rapid development of information technologies, under the influence of which the format of representation of modern culture is changing, increasingly inclined to the digital form.
Secondly, the changes in the processes of development of contemporary culture are connected with the processes of globalization, with the change in the development of humanity. The current viewer has become more educated, and new approaches to him are needed, taking into account the development of his intellectual level, spiritual and cultural needs. In addition, the financial condition of the viewer plays a significant role. The results of numerous surveys conducted in the last 45 years allow us to confidently say that performative arts, such as classical music, opera, live theater and ballet - as a rule, attract educated, wealthy audience, mostly women, and fine and applied arts - wealthy men.
Third, the transformations of contemporary culture are, to a large extent, due to the transformation of mass-culture1 into a cultural form. This universality is determined by the fact that any cultural figure becomes in demand, recognizable and interesting to dealers, as well as buyers, only by being presented through mechanisms capable of actively influencing mass culture - such as advertising, fashion, PR - their influence can be clearly traced in classical art.
Drawing parallels between the three components of the contemporary art world and identifying changes in their behavior, the author believes that communication in the art business - between the Artist, the Viewer (client) and the Picture - is now very important.
All this leads to changes in the selection criteria for buying and selling art itself - "capital" comes first, as more and more works of art are bought by businesses. This is done both to increase business assets, including goodwill by creating a certain reputation, and to facilitate IPO.

Entrepreneurial Orientation Factors of University Graduates in the Cameroonian Context : The Case of the Far North.
Authors: André GODOM
Published: January 2024

Purpose : The objective of this study is to determine the entrepreneurial orientation factors of young university graduates in Cameroon, in a context where businesses evolve in an unstable, unpredictable environment.

Methodology : To achieve this objective, an analysis was carried out on exploratory survey data collected from 198 university-educated entrepreneurs in the Far North region of Cameroon, using chi-square independence tests between variables such as gender, education and age to confirm their impact on the orientation of entrepreneurial specialization.

Findings : The results of this study showed that only gender and entrepreneurial education appear as factors in entrepreneurial orientation in the present study. While for men, there seems to be no limit to engaging in a particular activity, women do not have this flexibility, as they find it easier to orientate themselves in activities such as trade, hairdressing and catering, but not in activities such as butchery and banking.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy : Given that the study also shows that, thanks to training, young entrepreneurs have the flexibility to operate in all sectors of activity, particularly those requiring specific knowledge such as health services, it is therefore recommended that Cameroonian public authorities step up the promotion of entrepreneurship training to encourage young people to become self-employed.
Beyond The Nuclear Explosion Verification Monitoring, the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Offers A Strong Capacity Building System Support
Authors: Amartey Edmund O , Amponsah Paulina. E , Ofosu Francis. G , Foli Nelson , Annan Ruth. A , Teye Emmanuel M , Akor Prince. L , Yankey Robert K
Published: January 2024

Purpose: The United Nations (UN) General Assembly, as part of nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament measures to prohibit nuclear test explosions and any other nuclear explosions in all environments (in the atmosphere, oceans, and underground) adopted the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). Thus, it ultimately enhances international peace and security. It is an essential step aimed at making the world a safer place. States that agree to sign on to this Treaty will be contributing to the protection of human health and the environment against nuclear test explosions and their severe impacts. This paper seeks to demonstrate that the CTBT beyond its global prohibition measure against all nuclear explosions, is offering a strong Capacity Building System support to State Signatories such as the Republic of Ghana. The CTBT global verification regime is built to monitor States Signatories compliance with the Treaty. CTBT Organization (O) through the International Data Centre (IDC) provides States Signatories with technical assistance to support their verification responsibilities to ensure effective global monitoring.

Methodology: The Republic of Ghana through the Capacity Building project under the IDC technical assistance to States Signatories is a beneficiary of equipment support commissioned in July 2021. Under this project the GCI-III/VSAT equipment set was received from the IDC, establishing a new communication link for forwarding IMS waveform data from some selected stations in Africa in near-real-time to the National Data Centre – Ghana (NDC – GH). The IMS seismic data also contributes to prompt access to information on seismic events within our respective geographic territories globally, thus playing a complementary role.

Findings: The monitoring data generated provides essential civil and scientific applications to greatly support to mitigate the effects of natural or man-made disasters. This is an example of what the CTBT is providing to Member States beyond the Treaty’s main purpose.

Unique contributor to theory, policy and practice: It is therefore important for the international community to fashion out other multilateral agreements considering the possibility of incorporating the potential additional benefits States can derived from such agreements.

The study focuses on the understanding of NEP and OBE amongst faculty members and academic leaders, the factors affecting teaching and learning in higher education, and the role of academic leadership in implementing outcome-based education in higher education. Approach: The study is based on the data collected from 53 academic leaders from 53 different B- schools. To have better results the study has collected data from different regions in India, covering East, West, North, and South. Data is collected through a data triangulation approach. For this purpose, structured questionnaires were used, telephonic interviews of the sample and Focus Group Discussions with members of the senior cadre were conducted. The study employed different methods of data collection, preliminary interviews, and focus group discussions to yield the parameters on which a structured questionnaire was prepared. After deciding on the constructs of the scale, indicator items were prepared. Statistical analysis is done to assess the awareness and application of NEP 2020 in Management Education. Results: The focus group discussion and primary interview with the academic leader helped to design the application of Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs to Employee Engagement in Higher Education. The faculty need to know the level of their performance and areas in which they need improvement. Performance improvement helps the organization to meet its goals and objectives. Performance counselling is a very important activity that helps employees to know themselves better. It has been observed that employee engagement increases with performance counselling. Hence the desired result of NEP implementation will be better with faculty training and counselling. The attributes of Academic Leadership for academic, administrative, and research & extension activities are identified, analyzed, and evaluated. A conceptual model with the required attributes and qualities for a Role model/Super academic leader is also described. Type of Paper: Exploratory and descriptive

In terms of epidemiology, demographics, and dietary habits, India is undergoing several changes. The startlingly high rates of childhood undernutrition in India, together with the rapidly rising prevalence of chronic illnesses and their risk factors, like obesity and overweight, across all social classes, are making the country's health issues worse. Obesity has emerged as a major public health concern affecting individuals of all ages. India is reportedly ranked third (just behind US and China) among nations with the highest rates of obesity. In this paper we study and analyse the trends in obesity in India and examine the leading cause for such concerning rise in obesity in the nation. This will help government formulate the policy responses appropriately to tame the rising trend in obesity and to confer to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.

Published: January 2024

Motivation is one of the basic elements of enterprise management, enabling the
empowerment of employees in the workplace so that they can perform their professional duties more efficiently and thereby contribute to increased company turnover and customer satisfaction. Motivation is a process of consciously and knowingly influencing the behaviour of people who are members of an organisation by means of various stimuli, whether related to wages or other aspects of the working environment. Inherently tied to the functioning of each organisation, company or state institution, motivation is part of managing human resources and individuals, and therefore it is reasonable to make it an object of our study. The purpose of this paper is to identify the meaning of motivation and obtain information about factors that motivate employees of the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund branch office in Pleszew to perform their jobs. The article uses multiple publications in the literature, which serve to enhance its research value. Empirical studies were also conducted using a research tool in the form of a survey questionnaire.

Protection against accidents for persons entitled to agricultural retirement pensions who did not stop conducting agricultural activities
Authors: Nasternak Ernest
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to show the desired direction of changes in the accident
component of social insurance of farmers, in order to provide protection against accidents to everyone at risk of accident during agricultural work. This need is dictated primarily by the statutory changes implemented in 2022 in which those entitled to agricultural retirement pensions can combine receiving a full agricultural retirement with no restrictions on conducting agricultural activities on their farm, but no longer subject to accident insurance.
The objective of each social insurance system should be to provide protection in the form of social insurance benefits to persons conducting specific activities. Such benefits are supposed to guarantee that the requirements the legislator considers of essential social importance are satisfied. Undoubtedly, one of these is insurance coverage of persons liable to accidents during agricultural work by introducing separate regulations in this respect in the provisions concerning social insurance of farmers. Hence the need to consider these changes.

The concept of “gross negligence” in court judgements on farming accidents
Authors: Kraska Przemysław
Published: January 2024

This paper’s focus is on “gross negligence” under Article 10 (2)(1) of the Agricultural Social Insurance Act. It shows how Polish judges view “gross negligence” with respect to farming accidents. The perception is problematic as there is no definition of “gross negligence” in Polish legislation. Most of the time, judges rely on earlier judgements that pertain to the concept. Key terms: gross negligence, agricultural social insurance, farming accident
Charakterystyka kryteriów regulujących obszary zachodzenia na siebie zadań KRUS i ZUS w zakresie podlegania ubezpieczeniu społecznemu rolników
Authors: Pawlak Hanna , Urbaniak Renata
Published: January 2024

Elementami systemu zabezpieczenia społecznego w Polsce są m.in. Zakład Ubezpieczeń
Społecznych oraz Kasa Rolniczego Ubezpieczenia Społecznego. Obie te instytucje zasadniczo funkcjonują w sposób, który nie powoduje kolizji zakresów podejmowanej działalności. Są jednak pewne formy aktywności zawodowej, których podjęcie przez ubezpieczonego rolnika lub domownika powoduje, że dochodzi do zbiegu tytułów do ubezpieczeń społecznych. Mowa o pozarolniczej działalności gospodarczej, umowie agencyjnej, umowie zlecenia lub innej umowie o świadczenie usług, do których stosuje się przepisy dotyczące zlecenia, oraz pełnieniu funkcji w radzie nadzorczej.
Głównym celem artykułu jest zbadanie, w jaki sposób i poprzez jakie mechanizmy
regulowany jest obszar związany z podleganiem ubezpieczeniu społecznemu, w którym
kompetencje KRUS i ZUS nakładają się na siebie oraz przybliżenie aktów normatywnych,
które wprowadzają regulacje w tym zakresie.
