Authors: Eta Hilda Chia , Elemi Ginini Francis , Idiku Friday Ogar 
Published: November 2023

The study ascertained crop farmers’ access to e-information for climate-smart agriculture production in Cross River State, Nigeria. Using a multistage sampling procedure, 191 respondents were selected and data were collected with the aid of a structured questionnaire. Percentages, means and Spearman rho correlation were used to analyse the data. Results showed that the least used climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices were agroforestry (27.7%), water harvesting practices (25.1%), construction and use of irrigation facilities (14.1%) and land reclamation practices (16.2%). The majority (72.3%) of farmers got einformation on climate-smart agriculture from the radio, while 8.9% and 12.6% got it from internet websites and social media respectively. E-information that was less accessed by the farmers was information on zero tillage (x=2.33), and minimum tillage. There was a weak, positive monotonic relationship (ys= 0.029) between farmers’ use of climate-smart agriculture practices and access to e-information. Reliable and timely climate-smart agriculture information targeting tillage, cropping, and water harvesting and use should be developed by extension service providers, uploaded and broadcasted via traditional electronic media and other non-e-sources for easy access and use by farmers.

Organic farming practices (OFP) are key components of sustainable agriculture. However, the adoption of OFP is not yet widespread. Therefore, this study examined the willingness to adopt OFP among arable crop farmers in Oyo State, Nigeria. A multi-stage and proportionate sampling technique was used to select 333 arable crop farmers with the aid of a structured questionnaire. Mean, percentages, Chi-square, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation α 0.05 were used to analyse the results. Fifty percent (50%) of the respondents had high knowledge, and 46.1% had a moderately favourable perception of OFP. The majority (71.5%) were willing to adopt OFP. Inadequate credit facilities ( ˉx=1.79) and lack of access to organic inputs ( ˉx =1.57) were major barriers to adopting OFP. Farm size (r = -0.114), household size (r = -0.180), farmer’s knowledge (r = 0.128), and perception of OFP (r = 0.122) were significantly related to farmers’ willingness to adopt OFP. Arable crop farmers were willing to adopt OFP. They should therefore be equipped with the requisite knowledge and skills through training programmes.
A Four-year Retrospective Review of Buruli Ulcer Disease in Delta State, Nigeria
Authors: Ucho Ejiroghene Clitt , Ochei Oboratare 
Published: November 2023

Background: Buruli Ulcer (BU) is a debilitating necrotic cutaneous infection, scattered across the universe, but has received less attention when compared with other infectious diseases. It is endemic in some Nigeria states including Delta State, but there is a dearth of published data on BU in Delta State. This knowledge gap necessitated this study, which aimed to ascertain the pattern, distribution and clinical characteristics of BU cases in Delta State, Nigeria.
Methods: This study is a four-year retrospective review from 2018 – 2021. A proforma was designed to retrieve all records of suspected and confirmed cases of BU in the Delta State BU registry from 2018 – 2021. Data obtained were entered and analysed using SPSS version 23.0.
Results: Among the 163 suspected BU cases retrieved from the register, 52 (32%) were confirmed positive using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique. The confirmed cases were distributed in 16 (64%) of the 25 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in the state. There was a marked decline in the number of cases from 2018 to 2020 and a slight increase in 2021. Nearly all confirmed cases (98.1%) presented as ulcers and were mainly located in the lower limbs (80.8%). The lesions were mostly the category III type (63.5%), while 90.4% of those affected had limitations of movement in the affected area.
Conclusion: BU is present in Delta State of Nigeria, with the majority of cases presenting to health facilities late. Thus, active surveillance activities by BU control agencies to enhance early case detection is recommended.

Background: Despite extensive research on snakes, although subject to some variation and ignored by many authors, scarce information is available on the morphology of Psammophis Sibilans.
Objectives: This research aimed to study the morphological characterization of Psammophis Sibilans in Zaria, Northwestern Nigeria, as a basis for its morphological identification which may be extrapolated or used as baseline data to show the reliability of scale count in species determination of Psammophis Sibilans.
Methods: Active capture methods were used on free-range snakes and scales were counted to distinguish between the families, generic and specific levels.
Results: The result showed that on the head shield, the loreal [1.0±0.00], pre-nasal[2.0±0.00], internasal[2.0±0.00],preocular[4.0±0.00],supraocular[2.0±0.00],frontal[1.0±0.00], parietal[2.0±0.00] were all the same for all the population studied (n = 20). The dorsal scale [18.00±0.00], and anal plate [1.00±0.00] were also the same for all the snakes studied while the ventral scales [173±2.83], and tail scales [191.30±1.76] showed significant differences within the group. For the zoometric parameters, the body length [85.33±0.44], mid-circumference [7.40±0.10], head length [3.50±0.29], and tail length [32.17±0.17] all showed significant differences within and between the population except for the head width [1.00±0.00].
In conclusion: The head shields are more reliable in the identification of Psamophis sibilans than the zoometric parameters studied, except for the head width. We also discovered a significant variation in the loreal head shield which was just one for all the population studied as opposed to studies from Egypt and Ethiopia where a range of one to two was reported.

ABSTRACT
Feed is material that can be eaten, digested and absorbed either in whole or in part and does not cause poisoning or does not interfere with the health of livestock that consume it. Corn plant waste is the entire corn plant including stalks, leaves and young corn which are generally harvested at the age of 65-75 days. Fermentation of feed is a way of processing animal feed through an ammonia process to maintain the nutritional content in animal feed such as forage which can last for a longer time without reducing the nutrient content contained in the feed. Fermented feed production lasts for 14 days using probiotic supplements (EM4) and molasses. The purpose of this counseling is to find out the level of knowledge of farmers/breeders about making fermented corn plant waste feed. The methods used in this counseling are lectures, discussions, and demonstrations using a group approach. The increase in knowledge owned by farmers is quite significant and the effectiveness of increasing farmer knowledge (EPP) is included in the criteria of being quite effective.
Keywords: Corn waste; Fermentation; Feed; Probiotic supplements

Abstract
In the 4.0 era which will lead towards the industrial session 5.0, the institutions and Islamic education experience significant progress. In everyday life, the issues often arise in the atmosphere of society whose background is not from an educator or instructor and is classified as a layman or lacks Islamic knowledge. In the midst of the emergence of broadcasts on social media, lecture content that can be accessed at any time only applies to the urban or suburban community level, while rural communities who have not been touched by internet access cannot enjoy this. Meanwhile, in the perspectives of Islam, seeking religious knowledge (syar’i) is very important for the servant in order to distinguish which things are allowed and what are prohibited in islam. In this paper, the focus is on discussing the primacy of studying in Islam using a library research approach, namely by collecting data, literature, and reference books that are considered to be related to the themes discussed. The results of this study are the primacy and position of studying in islam based on the description of Hadist that have been agreed upon by the authenticity scholars both in matan and sanad are obligatory (highly recommended).

The Mediating Effect of Employee Outcomes on the Relationship between Green Human Resource Management Practices and Firm Performance
Authors: Gichira Kennedy A. M. , Kaimenyi Catherine K. , Nkari Isaac M. 
Published: November 2023

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the mediating effect of employee outcomes on the relationship between green human resource management (HRM) practices and the performance of firms listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE). The study was anchored on the Guest model of HRM. It was guided by the positivist research philosophy and used a cross-sectional research design.A pilot was done in 12 firms not listed on the NSE. Reliability was ascertained through Cronbach’s coefficient and validity through expert judgement.
Methodology: Primary data was collected using a structured questionnaire in a census of all the 62 NSE-listed firms. SPSS software was used to conduct descriptive and inferential statistics including Pearson correlation and simple regression analysis. The presentation of the results was in tables.
Findings: The findings revealed an indirect link between green HRM practices and firm performance through employee outcomes. This implies the presence of a mediating effect (total effect minus the direct effect ()) of 0.284. Meaning that employee outcomes partially mediated the relationship between green HRM practices and firm performance. Therefore, the null hypothesis that employee outcomes have no statistically significant mediating effect on the relationship between green HRM practices and firm performance, was rejected.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study concluded that green employee outcomes (competency, commitment, and empowerment) were present in the listed firms and led to enhanced firm performance. The study validates the Guest model of HRM illustrating that the model is applicable in the study of firm performance. The study recommends that firms should introduce green HRM practices to realise employee outcomes that engrave an eco-culture among employees linked to sustainable performance. Further areas of research are; a study exploring the mediating role of other employment outcomes on the relationship between green HRM practices and firm performance. The study contributes to green HRM research theory and practice and offers a platform for further research by HR students, scholars, and researchers. Finally, the findings would guide Human Resource Managers as they institute green HRM practices in their organisations.

This study describes the conflict over the conflict over the holy land of three divine religions in Jerusalem during the Israeli period, namely, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, as the religion with the largest adherents on earth. The choice of this theme is considered important because of the dynamics of the struggle for territory that has civilizations that are connected to each other between the three divine religions, with the Prophet Ibrahim AS as the father of the prophets as well as the ancestor of their religion. The researchers took two theories that were used, among others, social action theory from Max Weber, and social conflict theory from Dahdrendorf. Yerusalem It has an important history for these three heavenly religions, presenting a sense of wanting to control and claim the holy city of Jerusalem as a city that belongs only to one religion. A re-reading of the history of Jerusalem has shown the historical spectrum of the social life of the three divine religions in Jerusalem.

Large-Scale Research and the Question of Educational Experience: Recovering the Heart of the Matter
Authors: Pádraig Hogan 
Published: November 2023

The international rise of large-scale evaluations of quality in education in recent decades has been accompanied, ironically, by a major neglect of the issue of quality itself. This is mainly because of fundamental shortcomings in the design of most large-scale evaluation programmes. In programmes like PISA, TALIS and SABER-Teachers, the central but intricate questions of quality become defined as questions of indexed quantity, thus deflecting the former to the margins, or out of the picture. Beginning with a review of the points just mentioned, this contribution then proceeds to identify and investigate some key inadequacies in the conceptions evidence employed by large-scale evaluation programmes. Deficiencies in their gathering of evidence are likewise examined. A comparative perspective is also included to reveal overlooked exclusions in the supposedly neutral PISA instruments. The manifold character of what an adequate research exploration of quality in educational experience would look like is then investigated. Finally, the case is made for advancing the kind of evaluation programme that includes an adequate understanding of quality in education and that does justice to this in its research design.

Published: November 2023

W roku 1978 obchodził kościół św. Katarzyny w Krakowie sześćset- letni jubileusz swej konsekracji. Z tej okazji warto przypomnieć pewne fakty związane z fundacją i dziejami tego wspaniałego zabytku sztuki gotyckiej na który oprócz kościoła składa się także klasztor augustianów z czworobokiem krużganków. Zespół augustiański posiada nie małe znaczenie dla kultury polskiej i zaliczany jest do wysokiej klasy średniowiecznej architektury w naszym kraju. Wybitną rolę odegrał szczególnie w XV wieku i pierwszej połowie XVI w., kiedy doszedł do największego rozkwitu swej działalności artystycznej i kulturalnej. Dlatego też okres ten trwający do wielkiego pożaru w r. 1556 będzie przedmiotem rozważań niniejszego artykułu, poświęconego upamiętnieniu sześćsetletniej rocznicy istnienia kościoła św. Katarzyny w Krakowie.
