Re-reading on the Conversion and Caste Supremacy among the Dalit Christians in Kerala
Authors: Purayil Manikkuttan Meethale , D Ashok Kumar , Kannothumkandy Babu
Published: September 2024

Religious conversion played a considerable change in the socio-religious life of Kerala, especially among the indigenous communities. The socio-religious upheaval movement was one of the landmarks in the history of Kerala during the 19th century. During this period, there was a considerable transformation in the socio-economic life in Kerala affected by the ‘civilizing mission’ of the protestant missionaries in the physical life of the natives, such as social, economic, political, educational, and cultural life. For that purpose, they used the tools of modernity, like fashion, food, rituals, beliefs, etc. It cannot be neglected that the missionaries in the 19th century played a notable role in the society. But we cannot read the history of Indigenous people regardless of the history produced by culture, politics, religion, and values. Conversion is a strong historical tradition that treats Christianity as an offshoot of colonialism. In the Indian context, Christianity is an integral part of the socio-cultural history of the nation, rather than as people are separated from it. During this period witnessed tremendous changes in almost all fields of socio-economic life. That is why historians considered, the 19th century as the decisive period as far as Indian history is concerned. These changes were visible in the traditional life of the native Dalit peoples and were mainly brought about by the colonial impact. The backward Christians, under the dominance of the ruling majority and the economic dominance of them, could not develop a proper ideology. There is an opinion that Dalit conversion was peripheral and one-sided. That is, it happened under the influence of British hegemony and missionary influence. Religious conversion gave the slave society a kind of religious unity. But it could not completely develop freedom. Today Christian congregations face the struggle for democratization.

Published: September 2024

The implementation of waqf has been happening in many regions in Indonesia. The essence of waqf as a form of worship that brings great rewards and community welfare should be managed properly by professional nadzirs, not the other way around. Various problems have occurred in various regions, resulting in the management of waqf not maximizing and not achieving common goals. This research uses a normative juridical approach that is descriptive analytical by using various theories in legal science related to the process of implementing waqf within the framework of positive legal development in Indonesia. The problems of waqf management in Indonesia so far have been caused by the lack of socialization about waqf by a less aggressive government, waqf management and management that is not in accordance with the rules, limited human resources (nadzir) who meet the requirements and weak control systems in supervision to be less effective in its application in society. The problems that exist so far show that they arise from external factors, namely legal subjects who have not experienced limitations and sufficient knowledge in managing waqf properly and correctly according to the rules of law and Islamic religious law. For this reason, it is necessary to supervise the management of waqf by the government and society so that strict supervision is expected that waqf in Indonesia can be managed properly so that the results can be utilized to empower the quality of life of the people.

Vad kan man när man kan tillverka ett uttryck i slöjdföremål?
Authors: Broman Andreas , Wemmenhag Janice , Frohagen Jenny
Published: September 2024

I ämnet slöjd förväntas elever formge och framställa föremål i materialen metall, textil och trä. Uppgifterna som eleverna får av läraren knyts vanligtvis till någon slöjdteknik som stickning eller hyvling (Skolverket, 2005). Mer sällan handlar uppgifterna om att lära eleverna skapa estetiska och kulturella uttryck, som att tillverka en väska med mangaut- tryck eller en nyckelring som ser samisk ut. Om föremålets uttryck lämnas åt eleven att skapa ’fritt’ riskerar kunnandet att stanna vid ett oreflekterat tyckande om vad som är fint och fult i stället för att förhålla sig till olika stilar eller uttryck. Ett långsiktigt mål i nu- varande kursplan för slöjd i grundskolan (Lgr11) är att utveckla elevers förmåga att tolka olika uttryck i slöjdföremål. Hur detta hanteras i undervisningen får konsekvenser för vad som görs möjligt för elever att lära i slöjd. Under 2010–2011 genomförde vi en learning study i slöjd för att undersöka hur symboler och symboliska uttryck kan förstås som ett ämnesinnehåll i slöjdämnet och beskrivas som ett slöjdspecifikt kunnande.
Variation av ett undervisningsinnehåll för att möjliggöra urskiljning av kritiska aspekter avseende begreppet densitet
Authors: Magnusson Joakim , Maunula Tuula
Published: September 2024

Denna artikel fokuserar undervisning om begreppet densitet och svårigheterna att få elever att lära sig det vi önskar. Syftet är att beskriva resultaten av en Learning study; kritiska aspekter av densitetsbegreppet samt en fördjupad förståelse av detta undervisningsinnehåll. Studien genomfördes i skolår 7 och 8 och målet var att få elever att kunna urskilja densitet hos olika gaser, vätskor och fasta föremål. Teoriramverket är variationsteoretiskt och i artikeln beskrivs hur denna teori om lärande kom att användas i praktiken av lärare, både före, efter och i undervisning. Resultatet av studien blev att vi lärare mer distinkt kunde urskilja kritiska aspekter för densitetsbegreppet och att vår förståelse av lärandeobjektet fördjupades genom att vi provade ut olika kritiska aspekter i undervisning. Vi menar att dessa aspekter kan ses som ett ämnes- didaktiskt bidrag till NO-undervisning. Dessutom beskrivs en undervisningssekvens om densitet, som genomförs efter studien, som ett exempel på de mer långtgående effekterna som vi menar att learning study kan ge.
Datorn i skolans tyskundervisning ur ett elevperspektiv – Om svenska gymnasieelevers syn på datormedierad kommunikation och lärandet
Authors: Fredriksson Christine
Published: September 2024

I artikeln presenteras resultat från en pilotstudie om svenska gymnasieelevers användning av datorer i tyskundervisningen. Syftet var att ta reda på hur eleverna upplever chattkommunikation som inlärningsverktyg, jämfört med muntliga samtal. Resultatet visar att båda kommunikationsformer upplevdes att ha väckt elevers vilja att kommunicera på tyska och ha utvecklat medvetenhet om det egna lärandet. Eleverna i chattgruppen var dock överlag mer positiva och mer medvetna om interaktionsformens positiva effekt på lärandet, än eleverna i samtalsgruppen. Detta tyder på att modaliteterna och interaktionserbjudanden i chatt verkar kunna ge bättre förutsättningar för att elever ska kunna utveckla kommunikativ kompetens i tyska. Studien visar också att eleverna efter experimentet använder sina datorer i väldigt liten utsträckning i sin tyskundervisning. Ett behov av en riktad pedagogisk insats för att ändra elevernas datoranvändning, och för att både eleverna och läraren ska bli involverade i utvecklingsprocessen, har identifierats.

Authors: Oja Minna , Sjöberg Barbro , Johansson Marléne
Published: September 2024

Föreliggande artikel fokuserar kommunikativa aspekter i slöjdundervisning och baserar sig på en delstudie inom projektet ”Lärandets uttryck i slöjdpraktiker”. Det empiriska materialet består av videodokumentation av ett undervisningstillfälle i textilslöjd. I artikeln redogörs för studiens forskningsresultat som speglar hur olika kommunikativa aspekter används som resurs för lärande under ett slöjdtillfälle i skolan. Resultaten kan bidra till att stärka slöjdens roll som skolämne då de visar att elever, utöver sådant som kan uppfattas som traditionella slöjdkunskaper, också ges möjligheter att bli delaktiga i värdegrundsfrågor som finns inbäddade i kommunikationen.
Communications embedded resource for learning in Sloyd education
The present article focuses the communicative aspects in sloyd education and is based on a study within the project “Learning expression in sloyd practices”. The aim of the study was to obtain more knowledge about communication – verbal, non-verbal and visual communication – to be used as a resource for learning. The empirical material consists of video documentation during lessons in textile handicraft. The article outlines the study's findings which reflect how the different communicative aspects are used as a resource for learning during the sloyd lessons in school. The results may help to strengthen the role of the school subject sloyd when they show that students, in addition to things that can be perceived as traditional handicraft skills, also are given opportunities to become involved in fundamental values that are embedded in the communication.

Authors: Nkanga, A. U.  , Inyang, U. E.
Published: September 2024

The present study aimed at evaluating the effects of supplementing 60% acha and 40% orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) composite flour with 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% fermented cowpea flour on the functional properties of the flour blends and on the proximate composition, mineral content, antinutrients, and sensory characteristics of the crackers made from the blends. The 100% composite of acha and orange-fleshed sweet potato flours served as the control sample. The results obtained showed that all the parameters evaluated varied with the proportion of fermented cowpea flour supplementation. The bulk density increased significantly while the water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity, pH, wettability, and gelatinization temperature decreased significantly with the increase in fermented cowpea flour supplementation. The moisture and carbohydrate content of the crackers progressively decreased from 8.83% - 8.08% and from 68.34% - 54.33% respectively with increase in cowpea flour supplementation. The ash, fibre, fat and protein contents of the crackers progressively increased from 1.90 - 2.43%, 0.40 – 0.70%, 14.46 – 18.45% and 6.07 – 16.01% respectively with increase in fermented cowpea flour supplementation. The potassium content of the crackers decreased from 87.51 – 68.66 mg/100g while the calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc contents of the crackers increased progressively from 59.16 - 96.61 mg/100g, 12.60 – 36.69 mg/100g, 0.62 – 0.78 mg/100g and 0.78 – 1.08 mg/100g respectively with increase in fermented cowpea flour supplementation. The oxalate and phytate contents of the crackers decreased progressively, while the tannin content increased with increasing fermentation of cowpea flour supplementation.  It is evident from the study that acceptable crackers of high nutritional value could be produced from a composite of 60% acha and 40% orange-fleshed sweet potato flour supplemented with 30% fermented cowpea flour. This would increase the utilization of these locally grown crops and reduce wheat importation into the country.

Published: September 2024

The growth of entrepreneurship is vital for Nigeria's economic development, with Small and Medium-scale Enterprises (SMEs) playing a key role. This study examines the impact of the Igbo Apprenticeship System on entrepreneurship development and youth employment in Nigeria. Through semi-structured interviews with 50 Igbo business owners at Dugbe market in Ibadan, Oyo State, a significant market in South-Western Nigeria, the research highlights the system's role in establishing small businesses and imparting entrepreneurial skills to apprentices. The study confirms that the apprenticeship system is well-established within the community, with all respondents familiar with it. It highlights the system's critical role in entrepreneurship development in Nigeria, noting that 98% of respondents have participated in the system, and over 60% have sustained their businesses for more than ten years. The system also positively impacts youth employment by providing young people with the skills necessary to start and run their own businesses. However, it shows limited success in empowering females, and challenges such as financial settlement issues and a hostile work environment persist. The study recommends restructuring the system to shift from an individualistic focus to one that promotes teamwork, collaboration, and mutual support, with a particular emphasis on enhancing inclusivity for women.

Authors: Husnain Ghammaz
Published: September 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has invariably highlighted the critical role of spatial planning in managing public health emergencies, particularly with the need for social distancing. Historically, effective spatial planning has been essential for governments in navigating crises such as floods and earthquakes, employing strategies like designating containment zones, repurposing infrastructure, and constructing temporary facilities. The research focuses on Karachi’s response to the pandemic. It examines how the city’s spatial planning strategies were adapted to meet the challenges of its dense urban environment and socio-economic diversity. As Pakistan’s largest city and economic hub, Karachi confronted significant challenges in balancing public health measures with financial activities. The study investigates how state institutions implemented awareness campaigns and emergency spatial planning, including the creation of quarantine centers, isolation zones, inoculation centers, and modifications to public spaces. Similar to other mega-cities, Karachi is vulnerable to natural disasters and emergencies, as it balances a range of issues that require effective spatial and urban planning.

Domestic violence is generally part of the patterns of violent behavior and control rather than an isolated act of physical aggression. Domestic violence can take a variety of forms, including physical assault, psychological apprehension, constant belittling, intimidation, humiliation, and coercive sex, among others. It frequently can include controlling behavior such as isolating women from family, friends, self-esteem, and movements and restricting their access to fundamental human rights that are significantly associated with the psycho-social and reproductive health of women. Keeping in consideration the importance and sensitivity of the issue, the researcher tries in this study to explore the primary motives behind domestic violence that leads to aggressive behaviors and its impacts on women's reproductive health in our society. The researcher approached the researcher's district police office and obtained the list of registered cases regarding domestic violence in the district of Gujrat, Punjab. The findings of the study indicated that most of the women are the victims of domestic violence (physically, mentally, and sexually) and face discrimination and limited access to reproductive health services and pregnancy-related morbidity and mortality. Results highlighted that domestic violence intensively influenced women's physical as well as psychological conditions that led them towards mental, social, and economic disruptions. The sexual violence, including forced or coerced relationships and unwilling pregnancies, among others, significantly affected the reproductive health and well-being of women.

The current study examined Social media addiction, body satisfaction, and subjective well-being among adolescents. For this purpose, the sample for the current study was calculated by the G power formula (F, t, χ2, Z, and exact tests) 300 participants were selected through the convenient sampling technique (139 Boys and 161 Girls), adolescents with the age range of 10-19 from different colleges and universities of Faisalabad. The Co-relational research design was used in the current study. The variables under research were measured using the following scales: The Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (Andreassen et al., 2016), the Body Shape Questionnaire (Cooper et al., 1987), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg,1965), the Work & Social Adjustment Scale (Marks et al., 2002), ICP Subjective Well-Being Scale (Diener's, 1984). Using SPSS version 26, descriptive statistics, correlation, and t-tests were used to evaluate the current research hypothesis. Results of the correlation analysis revealed that there is a significant negative relationship between social media addiction and body satisfaction. In contrast, body satisfaction and subjective well-being were significantly positively related, and subjective well-being with body satisfaction showed no ties. The findings will benefit adolescents and management in schools and universities by providing a healthy environment and social skills to reduce social media addiction. Excessive social media use negatively impacts adolescents' body satisfaction and overall well-being. For adolescents, there is a need for educational programs and open communication to promote healthy online habits and to reduce social media's negative effects, with parental support playing a crucial role.

The premarital period can be linked to the preconception period, because after marriage a woman will immediately undergo the conception process. The preconception period is the period before pregnancy. The preconception period is the period of time from three months to one year before conception and ideally should include the time when the ovum and sperm are mature, which is around 100 days before conception. The nutritional status of WUS or premarital women for three to six months during the preconception period will determine the condition of the baby born. The prerequisites for perfect nutrition during the preconception period are the key to the birth of a normal and healthy baby. Marriage is one of the steps that must be taken to build a harmonious family. To take this step, all preparations are needed to form a harmonious family. The goal after carrying out the activity is to hope that catin will be exposed to health material regarding pre-wedding preparation and pre-marital screening. KIE community service activities for catin preparation and premarital screening have been carried out in the form of counseling, providing information and education regarding catin preparation and premarital screening. With a commitment to providing KIE catin and program sustainability will be carried out by KUA Medan Johor. It is hoped that this activity will not end in service activities, but with the media leaflet it can be used as a policy for the relevant agencies to develop it in the form of an application as a course method for catin in the health sector so that KUAs in other areas can utilize the application in implementing courses for catin, especially in the field of health.

Waste management remains a major challenge in Indonesia, particularly concerning marine plastic waste and the increase in hazardous waste (B3). The lack of understanding and limited facilities such as TPS-3R and waste banks further exacerbate the situation. In response, we conducted a community service program in Mangunarga Village, Sumedang, West Java, aimed at raising awareness and improving waste management practices. This program included educational workshops and equipping waste processing facilities. The results showed a significant increase in community understanding and behavior related to waste management, with awareness rising from 16.5% to 97.2%, and proper waste sorting practices increasing from 8.2% to 96.3%. The success of this program underscores the importance of community-based approaches and supportive infrastructure in addressing environmental challenges at the local level.
