This article reports on a qualitative study of Swedish teachers’ summative assessments of students’ writing in upper secondary school. Based on teacher group discussions, the study describes and analyses teachers’ expressions of norms when assessing and grading students’ writing in the subject of Swedish. Data consist of audio- and video recordings from three focus group discussions, comprising a total of 17 teachers. Topic analysis (Linell, 2001) is the method used to identify expressions of assessment norms in these discussions. The analysis reveals that these teachers’ summative assessments of students’ writing express two competing norms: a non-compensatory and a compensatory norm. The non-compensatory norm is expressed through perceptions that all text qualities must correspond to the same criteria. This means that shortcomings in texts are crucial for teachers’ summative assessments. The text qualities that primarily determine these decisions are language style and text structure. Meanwhile, the compensatory norm is expressed through perceptions that in summative aspects such as students’ age and writing instructions as well as students’ writing development and the national test must be considered. These competing assessment norms have a substantial impact on these teachers’ decisions on summative assessments. The teacher groups show significant variation in the basis for their decisions regarding summative assessment of students' writing.

Admission of New Students (PPDB) in primary and secondary education units continues to experience dynamics. Contestation among schools, especially non-favorites, in getting new students is often colored by gratification. In order to apply to the school, the school provides a stimulus by providing uniforms, shoes, bags, stationery and so on. This mode is the most basic gratification exercise. In fact, Permendikbud No. 1 of 2021 concerning the Admission of New Students (PPDB) Chapter II concerning Procedures for Accepting New Students Article 2 paragraph (1) states, PPDB is implemented objectively, transparently, and accountably. Education units have many options in marketing education, avoiding a variety of commendable action options. The best option is to improve the quality of educational services starting from the management of marketing services. The quality of RATER services (reliability, assurance, tangible, empathy, and responsiveness) is expected to be a solution to the increasingly tough competition in PPDB, especially when the world community enters the era of industrial revolution 4.0. Among educational marketing management, social media-based educational marketing is the hottest option. Because, social media today is increasingly dominant to be a part of the lives of all generations, from the older, middle generation, let alone the millennial generation. The best improvement of educational services is to improve the quality of educators. Teachers are the key role in whether or not education services are qualified. No matter how good the curriculum is, if the educator's services in the education unit are of low quality, then the education services remain low. On the contrary, no matter how bad the curriculum is, if the teachers who teach are of high quality, then the quality of educational services is high. Ideally, the best educational services start from a quality concept, are implemented by qualified educators, and are managed using services that are reliable, guaranteed, real, empathetic, and responsive to various phenomena that occur, especially for students. Quality educators who are managed with school-based management that is also qualified make the school an ideal place for learning for students. This kind of education unit is what parents are looking for to entrust their children to study at school. By improving the quality of schools plus a social media-based marketing system, it is the best way to win the competition for the admission of new students elegantly

A general notion from majority of researchers noted that connecting rural-urban services with Information Technology (IT), Internet of Things (IoT), Information Communication Technology (ICT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making cities smarter. This is because, the global urban population is expected to grow by 63% between 2014 and 2050 – compared to an overall global population growth of 32% during the same period. The Federal Capital City (FCC), Abuja, Nigeria is no exception to urban population growth which requires IT, IoT, ICT and AI technologies if she must be regarded as a Smart City. This study was, therefore, aimed at mapping and assessing a three-decade urban dynamics of the FCC, Abuja, towards ascertaining the suitability of the FCC, Abuja being regarded as a Smart City. Three (3) epochs of Landsat ETM+ data from the US Global Land Cover Facility web platform was analyzed using the maximum likelihood algorithm to process the Remote Sensing images for thirty (30) years time period (2000, 2010, and 2020). The study shows that the urban builtup land cover increased significantly from 72.88 km2 (22.04%) in year 2000 to 145.77km2 (44.09%) in 2020. As the causative alteration of natural vegetation paved the way for urban infrastructure, the study re-affirms a corresponding effects on the decrease in light vegetation cover from 119.85km2 (36.25%) in 2000, to 29.24km2 (8.84%) in 2010, and down to as low as 13.49km2 (4.08%) in 2020. Other land covers also decreased due to population upsurge and physical urban developments. The findings confirm the suitability of the FCC, Abuja as an emerging Smart City as the study further revealed a number of efforts made to digitalized government services through e-governance. The total (overall) accuracy of the supervised classifications of LULC for 2000, 2010, and 2020 images were 97.3%, 99.2% and 99% respectively with corresponding strong positive Kappa statistics of 0.95, 0.99 and 0.97. It is recommended that Smart City initiatives anchored on digital hub tools such as IoT, AI and ICT; Remote Sensing; and GIS Technologies be deployed in the ongoing and future city-wide development initiatives in order to fast track smart, smooth, effective and efficient service delivery in the FCC, Abuja, Nigeria.

Published: February 2023

Aims: Pakistan is facing a severe water shortage and the situation is further aggravated due to elevated temperature, leading to drastic yield reduction of quinoa. Hence, there is a dire need to maintain or increase agricultural production by utilizing sustainable methods of production to tackle changing climate. Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is a crop, recognized by United Nations due to its nutritional and health benefits.
Methodology: Therefore, a field study was carried out to evaluate the drought tolerance of quinoa through soil application of potassium (K) and boron (B) under Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) with a split-split plot arrangement and three replications. The crop was sown on November 06, 2021, using a seed rate of 8 kg ha-1 on 75 cm apart ridges with hand dibbling maintaining plant to plant distance of 120 cm. The experiment contained the following treatments; soil application of K at 0, 50, and 75 kg K2O ha-1 and B (H3BO3) at 0, 6 kg ha-1 in well-watered and drought-induced experimental units.
Results: Data related to crop physiological response and yield attributes were recorded using standard procedures and protocols. Quinoa performance decreased under drought stress but it was improved by potassium (K) supplementation at 75 kg K2O ha-1. Supplementation of K improved the seed yield of quinoa in drought-stressed conditions up to 41% and was also found economically viable because the value of benefit cost ratio was 2.2 in drought conditions as compared to the respective control (1.65).
Conclusion: Drought is an environmental factor that negatively interferes with crop growth and yield. So application of potassium and boron can enhance drought tolerance of quinoa through soil application.

Nigeria and Malaysia have a shared historical background. Both countries were free of British authority. They have a federal style of government with a bicameral legislature, and the regions are home to people of many racial and ethnic backgrounds. Both economies had a lot of natural resources. Malaysia and Nigeria were the main exporters of primary products when they gained independence in 1957 and 1960, respectively, due to their tropical climates. Nigeria has the capacity to emerge as the largest economy in Sub-Saharan Africa as well as even the world and play a significant role in the world economy, according to experts (Okezie C. A, 2017) and (Amir Baharuddin, 2017). These potentials have remained untapped, and Nigeria faces the risk of failing to reach the globally agreed millennium development goals (MDGs) by 2015, or the vision 2020, if current trends continue. This study aims to examine the untapped opportunities in the diplomatic relationship between these nations and also to determine what went wrong and take lessons from Malaysia achievement and how it was implemented. Nigeria and Malaysia share a very identical historical background: both had sultans as spiritual and political leaders in their major areas, were colonized by the British, and gained independence in 1960 and 1957, respectively. Malaysia has progressed in terms of human development since 1980 and strives to be among the industrialized nations. Nigeria has seen a rise in poverty from 1980 to the present, and it is likely to be classified as an underdeveloped country.

A field experiment was conducted during two consecutive Rabi seasons 2020-21 and 2021-22 at Students’ Instructional Farm of Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. The field experiment allocated three irrigation scheduling namely: I1: two irrigations at CRI (crown root initiation) and Jointing stage, I2: three irrigations at CRI, Jointing and Booting stage and I3: Four irrigations at CRI, Tillering, Booting and Milking stage, two moisture conservation practices viz: M0: without mulching and M1: Organic mulch at the rate of 10 t ha-1 + Kaolin 6% spray and three nutrient management practices viz: N1: 100% Recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) (150:60:40 kg ha-1 NPK), N2: 85% RDF + Farm yard manure (FYM) @ 5.0 t ha-1 and N3: 75% RDF + FYM @ 10.0 t ha-1. The field experiment was laid out in double split plot design with three replications. On pooled basis of two years experimentation the results indicated that, four irrigations at CRI, Tillering, Booting and Milking stage recorded significantly highest value of crop growth rate (CGR) (13.15 and 19.28 g m-2 day-1 at 30-60 and 60-90 days after sowing (DAS), respectively), grain yield (4381.60 kg ha-1) and consumptive use of water (457.39 mm) while, significantly highest water use efficiency (11.97 kg ha-1 mm) was received under two irrigations at CRI and Jointing stage over the rest of irrigation schedules. In respect of moisture conservation practices, organic mulch @ 10 t ha-1 + Kaolin 6% spray recorded significantly water use efficiency (11.41 kg ha-1 mm) compared to without mulching treatment while, highest consumptive use of water (380.72 mm) was recorded under without mulching. Integration of 85% RDF + FYM @ 5.0 t ha-1 recorded significantly maximum water use efficiency (10.99 kg ha-1 mm) compared to other treatments while, highest consumptive use of water (381.41 mm) was recorded under the treatment of 100% RDF.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PPCI) with stenting, especially with Drug eluting stents (DES), is the most widely accepted strategy globally for patients presented with STEMI, which necessitates a long duration of Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to prevent stent thrombosis. Potent P2Y12 inhibitors for DAPT are preferred in view of their superior protection against thrombosis but at the expense of increased bleeding risks. Early therapeutic intervention in the event of acute GI bleed has beneficial outcome while on active cardiac intervention.
Case Presentation: A 67-year-old patient, who underwent PPCI with DES stent, incidentally developed Mallory-Weiss (MW) tear, which manifested as severe hematemesis when loaded with DAPT consisting of Aspirin and Ticagrelor. The therapy was withheld until the clipping of the tear was done. Single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) with Aspirin was reinstituted after a day and DAPT with Aspirin plus Clopidogrel after a week.
Conclusion: A careful assessment of the risks and benefits of acute coronary interventions need to consider complications and timely interventions thus individualizing and curating the DAPT as deemed necessary.

An incubation experiment was conducted to study the S release pattern by different S sources and grades. The bulk soils were collected from the Esanai village which has deficient in sulphur. The treatments were replicated thrice in completely randomized design. Treatment details are Ammonium sulphate, Single Super Phosphate, Gypsum were the three sources of sulphur applied at the intervals of 0, 20, 40 kg S ha-1 along with the recommended dose of N, P and K. Destructive soil sampling was carried out at 15, 30, 60, 90 days after incubation and analyzed for S fractions as per standard procedures to understand the effect of S sources and S dynamics in those areas. Soil samples were analysed for sulphur fraction i.e. Water soluble sulphur fraction, Exchangeable sulphur fraction, CaCl2extractable sulphur fraction, Occuled sulphur fraction, Organic sulphur fraction and Total sulphur fraction. The soil sulphur fractions were arranged in the order of occluded sulphur > water soluble sulphur > exchangeable sulphur > CaCl2 extractable sulphur > organic sulphur. The results emerged out in this experiment indicate that that application of sulphur in the form of Ammonium Sulphate @ 40 kg S ha-1 was found to be applied for better release of available sulphur. The zero fertilization led to decline in the levels of all the forms of sulphur as compared to rest of treatments.

Published: February 2023

Background: This study investigated the influence of lobola, a payment made for marriage, on gender-based violence among married women in Lusaka’s Kamanga compound. Specifically, the study sought to establish how married women and men perceived lobola in relation to gender-based violence in marriage.
Method: The study used the qualitative research method. Participants in the study included eighteen married women and men. In addition, in-depth interviews using a semi-structured interview guide were conducted with five key informants.
Results: The findings from the study suggest that paying lobola translated into buying a wife and as such, a wife became a husband’s property. Lobola gave the man or husband powers to treat his wife as he wished, including subjecting her to sexual and other forms of abuse. This seems to take away a wife’s rights to make decisions on matters that affected her own life such as being restricted in her movements, in choosing what to wear, and depriving her of a claim over her children among others.
Conclusion: The study recommends that the Ministries of Justice and Gender and the Local Government should look deeply into the issue of paying lobola and correct the practice by deterring or reprimanding those who do adhere to its significance. Civil society should also lobby government to enact appropriate laws and policies to deal with patriarchy and help married women to enjoy their rights as human beings.

Published: February 2023

The global industrialization of chemical dyes used for household products has resulted in various dyes leaching into the soil. Azo dye textile contamination could lead to infertile soil. This study investigates the ecological effect of azo textile dye contamination on bacterial biomass, selective pressure, and associated physicochemical changes in soil samples contaminated with textile azo dye in Itoku, Abeokuta, Nigeria. Microbiological and physicochemical changes of the soil and effluent samples collected were determined using standard procedures. Results revealed that the average count of total viable bacteria in the contaminated sampling sites ranged from 0.82±021 x 106 cfu/g to 1.65±0.02 x 106 cfu/g which was significantly lower than the control bacterial counts. The dye contaminated and the control soil samples each contained a heterogenous population of bacteria which included Paenibacillus validus, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus niacin, Seratia liquefaciens, Staphylococcus gallinarum, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus coagulans. The physicochemical analysis of the soil revealed high levels of pH in the azo dye contaminated soil (10.4–11.1) and electrical conductivity was also highest in the effluent (1250 to 2943 units) compared to the control (430 to 480). Importantly, the control samples were higher in all of the other tested soil parameters including cation exchange, the mean value of the organic matter, water holding capacity, particle density, moisture content, and total porosity. Conclusion- Azo dye contamination caused decreases in bacterial density and many other soil parameters along with higher PH and electrical conductivity which suggests that azo textile dye contaminated soil is unfavorable for agricultural purposes and potentially toxic to the ecosystem.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the deformable image registration (DIR) accuracy using various CT scan parameters with deformable thorax phantom.Our developed deformable thorax phantom (Dephan, Chiyoda Technol Corp, Tokyo, Japan) was used. The phantom consists of a base phantom, an inner phantom, and a motor‐derived piston. The base phantom is an acrylic cylinder phantom with a diameter of 180 mm, which simulates the chest wall. The inner phantom consists of deformable, 20 mm thick disk‐shaped sponges with 48 Lucite beads and 48 nylon cross‐wires which simulate the vascular and bronchial bifurcations of the lung. Peak‐exhale and peak‐inhale images of the deformable phantom were acquired using a CT scanner (Aquilion LB, TOSHIBA). To evaluate the impact of CT scan parameters on DIR accuracy, we used the four tube voltages (80, 100, 120, and 135 kV) and six reconstruction algorithms (FC11, FC13, FC15, FC41, FC44, and FC52). Intensity‐based DIR was performed between the two images using MIM Maestro (MIM software, Cleveland, USA). Fiducial markers (beads and cross‐wires) based target registration error (TRE) was used for quantitative evaluation of DIR.In case with different tube voltages, the range of average TRE were 4.44–5.69 mm (reconstruction algorithm: FC13). In case with different reconstruction algorithms, the range of average TRE were 4.26–4.59 mm (tube voltage: 120 kV). The TRE were differed by up to 3.0 mm (3.96–6.96 mm) depending on the combination of tube voltage and reconstruction algorithm.Our result indicated that CT scan parameters had moderate impact of TRE, especially for reconstruction algorithms for the deformable thorax phantom.
