Published: May 2023

Microcredit is a broad term that includes deposits, credits and payment services to the poor. In Batticaloa district the number of Micro Loan institutions have increased significantly especially in this last decade. This research is carried out with a main objective to find out the impact of micro loan on women’s livelihood in Manmunai North division of Batticaloa district. In this study, a sample of 150 women from Manmunai North division who have been engaged in microfinance activities for at least 5 years. In this study, we considered Microcredit as an independent variable and Livelihood as a dependent variable. There are four independent variables as repayment, lending, interest rate, time and four dependent variables as poverty, education, saving, family size which are used to examine the percentage analysis on the basic background of women’s livelihood. The study has covered primary data and analyzed the data by women’s descriptive statistics, correlation and regression models. Correlation and regression analysis is used to find out the relationship and strength between microcredit and women livelihood. According to the results of regression coefficient it presented the specification of four variables (lending, repayment, interest rate, time) and reveled the ability to predict decision-making (R2=0.164). The respective R2 value is 0.164 denotes that 16% of the observed variability in women’s livelihood can be explained by the differences in all independent variables. The finding of the research is both variables have a positive coefficient, which means microcredit increases with the increasing level of interest rate and repayment.

Abstrak
Penelitian ini membahas tentang pentingnya kata kerja bantu dalam bahasa Mandarin, yaitu kata 会, 能, dan 可以, yang dalam bahasa Indonesia dipadankan dengan kata “bisa”. Ketiga kata tersebut memiliki arti yang hampir mirip, namuntidak dapat saling menggantikan, karena memiliki aturannya masing-masing. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kemampuan mahasiswa Prodi Bahasa dan Budaya Tiongkok Universitas Padjadjaran dalam penguasaan katanya dan bagaimana bahasa ibu mempengaruhi mereka dalam mempelajarinya. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif, mayoritas responden masih mengalami kesulitan dalam menggunakan ketiga kata kerja bantu tersebut. Salah satu akar permasalahannya adalah dalam bahasa Indonesia sebagai bahasa ibu tidak memiliki padanan kata yang sesuai dengan kata kerja bantu tersebut sehingga sulit dipahami, walaupun beberapa ranah seperti budaya yang dibawa oleh bahasa itu sendiri memiliki kesamaan, antara bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa Mandarin.

Factors Associated with Reading Performance in English
Authors: Costino-Sanoria Cherrylene , Oco Richard M. 
Published: May 2023

Aims: Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic are three essential skills a pupil should learn and acquire. The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with pupils’ reading; the pupils’ level of reading performance and the significant relationship between the level of reading performance and factors associated with reading performance.
Study Design: The study employed Content Analysis with Descriptive Correlation.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in selected schools in the division of El Salvador City during the school year: 2022.
Methodology: The respondents were all the One hundred-twenty (120) Grade 3 pupils at the selected schools in El Salvador City. This study used a researcher-modified survey questionnaire that underwent validity and reliability testing.
Results: The results showed that pupils’ reading performance was at a Frustration level, while factors associated with reading performance were rated as Unlikely. It was concluded that pupils' reading performance was significantly correlated to reading performance. Thus, it must be given consideration and attention. The researcher recommends that parents, teachers, and stakeholders should unite in providing and supporting reading-related activities and interventions for better performance and outcomes.
Conclusions: As was clearly illustrated in data analysis and results, in conclusion: According to the results of the student's reading performance, the majority of the students are still experiencing frustration. This performance is still regarded as being quite poor. While the reading materials are accessible at home, parents have less time to monitor and support their children. As a result of being alone or receiving less support and attention from their family members at home, students may develop negative attitudes toward reading and poor study habits. There was a strong correlation between the student's reading ability and the elements that affect reading ability. As a result, elements related to reading ability are important for how well they read in English. Based on the findings and conclusion of the study, it is recommended that: Due to the students' alarming reading performance, teachers, parents, and stakeholders must collaborate to establish reading programs and activities for the students. The best solution to whatever pupils' problem is a collaboration between teachers and parents. Teachers might think about stressing to parents and other stakeholders how important it is to help, mentor, and give time to their kids so they feel supported in their academics and problems. The students will get inspiration and self-assurance in this way as they understand that their families are behind them. To help instructors deliver reading activities and services and to motivate and engage stakeholders in creating a better teaching and learning environment, administrators may consider workshops and training sessions, particularly on various reading methods and interventions.

Context: In Côte d’Ivoire, industrial banana plantations are faced with the problem of weediness. However, the use of herbicides as a means of control presents significant risks for human health and the environment. The abandonment of these products for more ecological alternatives such as cover crops is imminent.
Aims: This study aimed to compare the relative abundance and the density of the main plant-parasitic nematodes in the roots of banana and cover crops according to three weed management treatments.
Study Design and Methodology: The experimental design was a three-repeat Fisher block of three treatments consisting of implementation of A. repens and D. adscendens as cover crops and spraying of two synthetic herbicides (glufosinate and glyphosate) for weed management. The relative abundance and density of nematodes in the roots of banana and cover crops were assessed quarterly after extraction by the rapid double centrifugation-flotation method and enumeration under an optical microscope.
Results: Both cover crops and banana plants had their roots infested by the major parasitic nematodes evaluated (Radopholus similis, Pratylenchus spp., Helicotylenchus spp., Meloidogyne spp., Rotylenchulus reniformis and Hoplolaimus pararobustus). These infestations were not a function of weed management treatments. Compared to the use of herbicides, A. repens and D. adscendens used as ground cover did not significantly increase or decrease nematode dynamics in the plots. Individuals extracted from the roots of the cover crops, and particularly from D. adscendens, were more numerous than from the roots of the banana plants. In terms of proportions, Pratylenchus spp., R. similis, Helicotylenchus spp. and Meloidogyne spp. were most abundant. R. reniformis and H. pararobustus as well as various nematodes (plant parasites: Hirschmanniella spp., Xiphinema spp., ..., and non-plant parasites: fungivorous, carnivorous, bacterivorous, ...) were in the minority.
Conclusion: The results, particularly those of A. repens, could be useful in the biological, ecological and sustainable management of weed in banana plantations without important risks of pest pressure.

Abstract

Objective
Prolonged exposure to heavy metals, such as Pb, Hg, or Cu, has multiple adverse effects on marine organisms at the cellular, physiological, and population levels. Bivalves' histopathology provides a sensitive biomarker of pollutant-induced stress and environmental health. Gonad tissue deterioration is of particular concern, as it affects the reproductive success of a species. This study aimed to examine the histopathological alterations caused by metal exposure in the gonad of the white clam Dosinia ponderosa.

Methods
Organisms were sampled from three locations in the Gulf of California: Santa Rosalia (SR), a former Cu mining town; San Lucas beach (SL), a nearby site influenced by pollution; and Escondida beach (EB), which served as a control site. Histological and histochemical stains were used, and the prevalence and intensity level of each alteration were calculated.

Result
The prevalence of alterations was higher in the ovaries of SR clams (92% compared to 60% in SL clams and 32.7% in EB clams), during spawning (91.4% compared to 20% in SL clams and 4.7% in EB clams), and in winter (93.5% compared to 30% in SL clams and 17.4% in EB clams).

Conclusion
These findings suggest a significant deterioration in the gonads of white clams from SR, probably linked to the chronic exposure to high concentrations of Cu and possibly other heavy metals; hence, the reproductive health of the clams is likely compromised.
