Necessity for up-scaling resource mobilization for implementation of competency-based curriculum at basics education cycle
Authors: Njati Ibuathu 
Published: December 2022

School resources comprise necessary materials, both financial and human. A growth towards evidence-based allocation and utilization of school resources is affected by inadequate capacity of the school managers, ministry of education, parents and non-governmental organizations. Inadequate teaching and learning resources limit individual schools' strength to make judicial decisions on equitable trade-offs in education resource demand, supply and consumption. This work sought to identify the locally available resources for utility in competency-based- curriculum implementation, improve the available resources for enhancing teaching and learning, and analyze factors militating against effective mobilization and utilization of resources at the basic education level. Online surveys were used in collecting secondary data. Journals, internet, textbooks and research reports were sampled for data gathering through a stratified sampling technique. The findings showed that the rural-urban migration factors significantly affect trained teachers from arid areas by moving away from their local homes to towns in search of jobs. When learners fail to interact adequately with qualified teachers, the consequences are dire, resulting in learners' poor acquisition of competencies. It was ascertained that more than 70% of the teachers teaching at Kakuma Refugee Camp were not sensitive to learners' plights. This was due to their weak and inadequate education and training background coupled with poor teaching and learning resources. 60% of the tutors at Kakuma Refugee Camp were untrained in pedagogical and andragogical skills necessary for giving instructions in a competency-based curriculum. It was established that the cost of needed materials and training for improving CBC implementation was expensive. Therefore, action research could explore avenues for economies of scale by sharing materials and coordinating purchases between and among neighborhood schools. This is because the critical mass of activities under CBC such as arts, music and sports all create new opportunities for supply chains that present avenues for partnering with organizations that support basic education activities that has remained unexploited. In conclusion, the national and county government's department of pre-primary and basic education level should generate guidance on the use of alternative and low-cost materials for teaching to alleviate the persistent shortages of teaching resources.

Published: December 2022

Practical activities are extremely important in teaching sciences as they aid the students in comprehending scientific concepts through participatory learning. However, most Kenyan public schools lack well equipped laboratories. Additionally, the diminishing resources resulting from post-COVID effects offer no beam of hope. Disruption from COVID also poses critical challenges of handling physical devices in times of such pandemics. To address this, the Integration of Virtual Labs to Enhance STEM Education for Girls (IVLESTEG) project was conceptualized to enhance girl’s access to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematic (STEM) subjects in Kenyan secondary schools. The aim of this research study was to critically appraise the current technology models in relation to girls’ access to STEM education with the overall objective of exploring the potential of e-learning in promoting participation of female students in STEM subjects in Kenya. Upon development and implementation of learning in the V-labs, quasi experiments were conducted to determine the effectiveness of use of V-Labs in enhancing the participation of female students in STEM disciplines in secondary schools. Schools were randomly chosen and classified as either experimental or control sites. This method allowed for comparison of performance in STEM subjects of the female learners who were exposed to learning in the V-labs and those not. The findings will contribute to the development of a framework for appraising models for ICT use in STEM teaching and learning processes for girls that can inform practice, policy and research.

Authors: Diki Paul Mutethia , Gibendi Ruth 
Published: December 2022

Academic integrity is the commitment and demonstration of honest and moral behavior in an academic setting. This is most relevant at the university level as it relates to providing credit to other people when using their ideas. In simplest terms, it requires acknowledging the contribution of other people. Plagiarism is the act of taking someones else’s work and passing them off as your own. Student plagiarism is a known problem facing universities around the world. Plagiarism is perceived to be a growing problem and universities are being required to devote increasing time and resources to combating it. This fraud behaviour of students in universities is great concern today. As result of explosion of plagiarism among university students, many universities in developed countries have been using technologies to combating deceitful plagiarism behaviour of students. As information literacy experts, information professionals are especially suited to take the lead in educating students about plagiarism and promoting academic integrity. University Librarians working in Kenyan universities can develop information literacy programs to address the issue of student plagiarism. Through combining librarians knowledge of research and information literacy with subject heading, and integrating these skills into the curriculum, students will feel more empowered and competent in their academic assignments. This article will review different types of plagiarism practiced by Kenyan university students and how it affects the integrity of their academic work and how this norm can be alleviated. This study aims to conduct a review of literature on the role of information professionals in alleviating plagiarism in universities in Kenya with a view of suggesting possible solutions to the named problem.

Los derechos de la naturaleza y la ciudadanía: el caso del Mar Menor
Authors: Vicente Giménez Teresa , Salazar Ortuño Eduardo 
Published: December 2022

The advance of environmental degradation around the world is evident year after year in reports on Climate Change and Ecosystem Health. The environmental laws that have been in force around the world for the past 40 years have failed to halt the loss of biodiversity and global warming. In the Western paradigm, Nature has been conceived as an object for human benefit and this misconception has led us to the current collapse. It is time for the change we need, in the sense of recognizing that human beings are part of Nature and have an interdependent relationship with it. This is the new paradigm of ecological Justice, which is embodied in a new generation of subjective rights: the rights of nature. A worldwide movement promotes the rights of nature on all continents and is recognized by the United Nations "Harmony with Nature" Program. This movement is led in Europe by the Popular Legislative Initiative to recognize the Mar Menor and its basin with legal personality and its own rights.
El avance de la degradación ambiental en todo el mundo se manifiesta año tras año en los informes sobre cambio climático y salud de los ecosistemas. Las leyes medioambientales vigentes desde hace 40 años en todo el mundo no han logrado frenar la pérdida de biodiversidad ni el calentamiento global. En el paradigma occidental, la Naturaleza ha sido concebida como un objeto para el beneficio humano y esta concepción errónea nos han conducido al colapso actual. Es el momento para el cambio que necesitamos, en el sentido de reconocer que el ser humano forma parte de la Naturaleza y tiene una relación de interdependencia con ella. Este es el nuevo paradigma de la Justicia ecológica, que se concreta en una nueva generación de derechos subjetivos: los derechos de la naturaleza. Un movimiento mundial promueve los derechos de la naturaleza en todos los continentes y es reconocido por el Programa de Naciones Unidas «Armonía con la Naturaleza». Este movimiento es encabezado en Europa por la Iniciativa Legislativa Popular para dotar de personalidad jurídica y derechos propios al Mar Menor y su cuenca.
Assessment and Learning in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) Classrooms: Approaches and Conceptualisations
Authors: Ciel Hu Hengzhi 
Published: December 2022

It is not surprising that as we come upon the thirtieth anniversary of the birth of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), this young pedagogical approach is still a complicated phenomenon, with a wide variety of issues in every aspect of education remaining to be addressed. CLIL assessment is one of them. Although over a decade has passed since Coyle et al. (2010) necessitated an explicit understanding of the assessment process in CLIL, “the variety and depth of issues that remain on the CLIL agenda suggest more research on CLIL assessment is indeed needed before future research can offer clear and workable solutions for both teachers and students” (De Angelis, 2021, p. 32). To this end, the book entitled Assessment and Learning in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) Classrooms: Approaches and Conceptualisations is a timely response, both in scope and usefulness. It is a successful compilation of papers, which link various theoretical perspectives with different research paradigms and feature the discussion of classroom assessment aimed at improving the quality standard of education. The value of this volume is undeniable, and both researchers and educators can benefit from it, with a dialectical relationship established between research and classroom practices.

Published: December 2022

Background: The process of preimplantation embryo development in vitro represents a key phase during in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. It involves several regulatory signaling pathways as well as an optimized in vitro culture system. The resulting embryo quality helps to determine embryo competence before implantation and pregnancy outcomes. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known to play a major role in influencing the process of embryo development. Their role can be reflected in the regulation of signaling pathways as second messengers or in the irreversible cell alterations due to oxidative stress following an excess of ROS levels.
Methods: In this study, we investigated the association between morphological embryo quality (fertilization, cleavage quality, and fragmentation levels) and lipid peroxidation levels (Malondialdehyde) in embryo culture media. After intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), a total of 103 oocytes were evaluated on day 1 and day 3 of their development, and their corresponding culture media were analyzed by estimating MDA levels using thiobarbituric acid.
Results: The results showed no significant association between MDA levels in culture media and fertilization rate (p=0.3), sperm quality (p=0.99; p= 0.17; p=0.46; p=0.30; p=0.65; p=0.44; p=0.09; p=0.15; p=0.56), embryo fragmentation levels (p=0.79; p=0.40), AMH levels (p=0.31; p=0.36) and female age (p=0.60; p=0.34). However, we revealed a significant association between cleavage quality and MDA levels in the embryo environment (p=0.03).
Conclusion: We conclude that oxidative stress in IVF culture media might be mainly associated with delayed embryonic development.

Aim: The experiment was aimed at evaluating the effect of mulberry irrigated with treated sewage water on silkworms and cocoon production.
Study Design: The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with six treatments and four replications.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted during Rabi 2019 in pre-established irrigated V-1 mulberry garden at Department of Sericulture, University of Agricultural Sciences, Gandhi Krishi Vigyana Kendra, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
Methodology: A field experiment was conducted in a V1 mulberry garden established under paired row system to study the influence of raw and treated sewage water irrigation on growth of mulberry and subsequent effect on silkworm (PM × CSR2) growth and cocoon parameters. The raw and treated sewage water was collected from GKVK sewage treatment plant and irrigated to mulberry garden. Silkworms fed with mulberry leaves raised on recommended dose of NPK kg/ha/year + FYM along with raw and treated sewage water irrigation showed positive influence on late age silkworms.
Results: Observations recorded on silkworm growth and cocoon parameters revealed that significant higher fifth instar larval weight (32.02 g/10 larvae), ERR (99.0 %), single cocoon weight (1.706 g), pupal weight (1.385 g), shell weight (0.321 g), shell ratio (18.65%) and shorter fifth instar larval duration (181.91 hrs). Similarly, reeling parameters of cocoons showed significantly longer filament length (853.00 m) and higher filament weight (0.28 g) in silkworms fed with mulberry leaves from the plots irrigated with raw sewage water.

Aim: This research is aimed at evaluating the antifungal activity of Curcuma longa, and Azadirachta indica extracts on dematiaceous fungi isolated from environmental samples at Uli community, Anambra State, Nigeria.
Methods: Soil, rotten wood, and water samples were randomly collected from three communities at Uli, Ihiala LGA. Also, leaf of neem and rhizoids of turmeric were purchased from an agro-based farm. The samples were analyzed for the presence of dematiaceous fungi using pour plating technique. The isolates were identified based on their morphology and slide culture technique. The plant samples were dried at room temperature, and extraction was done using a Soxhlet extractor and ethanol. The phytochemical composition of the extracts was evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively using spectrophotometer. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) were determined using a broth medium and sabourod dextrose agar.
Results: A total number of 10 dematiaceous fungi were isolated from the three communities. The phytochemical analysis of the plants extracts revealed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, cardiac glycosides, saponins, alkaloids, and steroids. The MIC and MFC of the turmeric extract were recorded as 0.50 mg/mL and 12.5 mg/mL, respectively.
Conclusion: The study has shown that Curcuma longa ethanolic extract is more potent in tackling subcutaneous mycoses.

An experiment was conducted at the Research and Training Farm of Federal College of Horticulture Gombe State (10020’N and 10030’E) during the 2021 rainy season in the Sudan Savanah agro-ecological zone of Nigeria. The aim of the research is to evaluate the effect of seedling age and time of application of post-emergence herbicide on the growth and yield of lowland rice (Faro 44). The experiment consisted of two factors, namely:- seedling age ( 3, 4, and 5-week-old seedlings) and time of weed control by post-emergence herbicide at 2, 3, and 4 weeks after transplanting. Farmer's practice hoes weeding, 7 weeks after transplanting as check and controls i.e. no weeding). These treatments were factorial combined (3 x 5) to give 15 treatment combinations of treatment and replicated thrice. The seedling was allocated to the main plot while weed control was to the sub-plot. Data gathered on weed, growth, yield, and yield attributes were subjected to analysis of variance, and mean differences were separated using Student Newman keuls (SNK ) at p< 0.05. The result revealed significant differences due to seedling age and time of weeding in most characters measured. Generally, the 3-week-old seedling (3WOS) performed better but at par with 4WOS, while earlier application of herbicides at 2 weeks after transplanting (WAT) gave excellent weed control. The highest yield of paddy rice 8849.4 and 9517.2 kg/ha, was obtained from 2WOS and herbicide application at 2WAT. It can be concluded that 3-4WOS seedlings of Faro 44 variety of rice and early application of herbicide at 2wat can be suggested to the rice farmers in the study area.

Published: December 2022

AbstractThis paper outlines the career and architectural activities of Hiromichi Matsui and clarifies the characteristics of his architectural works. We classified his career into three distinct periods: Tokyo, Milan, and Kagoshima periods. In Tokyo, he was in charge of interior design at Isamu Kenmochi Design Associates. Matsui cultivated the philosophy proposed by Kenmochi that emphasizes the sense of scale based on full‐scale drawing. In Milan, he worked as a partner architect at Gregotti Associati and introduced Italian architectural culture to Japan. In Kagoshima, he was involved in educational and social activities, which included a role as a professor at Kagoshima University, etc. He designed three architectural works that, while reminiscent of his works at Gregotti Associati, also considered the regional features of Kagoshima .
