Published: January 2023

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of 6-week Pilates exercises applied to sedentary women on body composition and flexibility. A total of 18 volunteer sedentary women between the ages of 20-35 participated in the study. Two different groups were formed the experimental group (n:9 age: 28.30±4.42) and the control group (n:9 age: 28.70±5.41). A 60-minute Pilates exercise program was applied to the experimental group 3 days a week for 6 weeks. Weight, body fat percentage, body water ratio, body muscle ratio, and flexibility values were measured before and after Pilates exercises. SPSS 22.0 package program was used for the statistical analysis of the data. Mean and standard deviation values were used in the statistics of descriptive data. The Shapiro-Wilk Test was used to determine the normality of the data. Independent Samples T Test was used to evaluate the significance of the groups, and Paired Samples T Test was used for in-group comparisons. Statistical results were evaluated at p&lt;0.05 significance level. Statistical significance was found in the weight, body fat percentage, body water ratio, body muscle ratio values, and flexibility scores of the experimental group (p&lt;0.05). There was no statistical significance in the parameters of the control group (p&gt;0.05). As a result, it can be said that 6-week Pilates exercises applied to sedentary women have a positive effect on body composition and flexibility.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0203/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: January 2023

Specifically, the study aimed at determining the attitude of teachers toward learners with MID in selected primary schools in Kiambu County and how it influenced their performance in English. The study employed social constructivist theory to explore the teachers’ instructional strategies that had an effect on the English performance of learners with MID in acquiring self-regulation. In this study 31 class six English teachers, 2111 class six learners and 31 school administrators within 3 zones were targeted in the descriptive survey study. A 20% sample was used to sample the learners, while purposeful sampling was used for the teachers and school administrators. The study used a sample of 31 school administrators, 31 teachers and 422 learners, all from the three identified zones. Observation schedules, interview schedules and questionnaires were used to collect data. Piloting was done in Gicharani primary school to enhance the validity of the research instruments while the test and re-test method was used to test the instruments’ reliability. Quantitative data questions were analyzed by descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages and measures of central tendencies. Findings revealed that the teachers’ attitude was positive with some having a negative attitude. The chi-square analysis revealed that the p-value was statistically significant at 0.018 implying that the teachers’ attitude towards the learners affected the learners with MID’s English performance. The study concludes that the teachers’ attitude towards learners with MID had a significant influence on the MID learners’ performance in English. The study recommends that primary school teachers should be trained on the need for a positive attitude in the classroom towards all the learners, more so those with MID to ensure their participation in class and improved self-esteem.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0936/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
CHALLENGES OF SOLID WASTE SEGREGATION AT UNKI PLATINUM MINE IN SHURUGWI, ZIMBABWE
Authors: Chihiya John M. , Nhedzi Emmanuel , Mapira Jemitias 
Published: January 2023

Waste segregation at the source, which is a pre-requisite aspect in waste management challenges, is a concept that mining sectors in Zimbabwe are yet to completely appreciate and put into practice on a broader scale. The accumulation of solid waste has become a global challenge in various mining industries. Despite the efforts of Unki Platinum Mine in environmental management participation in solid waste segregation at Unki Platinum Mine is still limited. Since the organization needs to accomplish its aim of zero waste to landfills by 2030, it is critical to encourage source separation practices among its personnel. There is a need to recognize the issues at a general employee level in order to propose appropriate suggestions for enhancing solid waste segregation at the source. The goal of this study was to look into the issues of solid waste segregation at the source at the Unki Platinum Mine in Shurugwi. Several departments at the mine that create significant solid wastes were chosen to participate in this investigation. Within the Mining, Concentrator, Human Resources, Mineral Resources Management, Engineering, and Environmental, Health and Safety and Quality (SHEQ) departments, questionnaire sets were distributed to the targeted audience. This research included a variety of data collection methods, including questionnaires, observations, and guided interviews. The problems with solid waste segregation at the source have been highlighted. These include a lack of adequate awareness and enough receptacles, especially in underground working locations, and failure to recognize substantial waste in sections, as well as behavioral tendencies and indifference on the part of most employees toward solid waste segregation systems. More recyclable waste is being dumped into landfill as a result of poor solid waste segregation at the source. The study findings revealed that inadequate receptacles, trash collection equipment, and a lack of effective instruction to staff are likely infrastructure hurdles to correct solid waste segregation at the source. Solid waste segregation at the source can be achieved by providing adequate receptacles, motivating personnel with incentives, and implementing appropriate instructions, awareness and initiatives.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0952/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
