Investigating the Influence of Awards on Teacher’s Motivation Towards Performance: A Study of Selected Primary School in Delta State Nigeria
Authors: Mbukanma Ifeanyi 
Published: November 2022

Orientation: Awards are mostly given on the basis of recognitions without ascertaining it influence on the current state of awardee and their future performance. Research purpose: The main purpose of this study was to ascertain the influence of awards on teacher’s motivation towards optimal performance. Motivation: This study was motivated by the existing gap in the previous literature on how awards actually motivate teachers and other better ways to motivate teachers towards optimal performance. Research method: A qualitative study and a participatory action research design were employed, where primary schools in Delta State, Nigeria, were sampled. Data was collected using written interview techniques, and the subjective thoughts of the participants were vital in this study to ascertain the influence of awards on teacher’s motivation towards optimal performance. Analysis: To analyse the participant’s responses, a thematic technique for data analysis was employed using ATLAS.ti version 9, which helped the researchers categorise selected themes from the responses collected from participants. Findings: The study result revealed that although awards contribute significantly to teachers’ motivation, teachers’ motivation and optimal performance could also be cushioned by professional development, encouragement by superiors, learners’ performance, learners’ participation, acknowledgement of hard work, competitive salary, and fringe benefits. Managerial implications and contribution: Thus, since the study was carried out to provide a practical academic-based solution to a real-life scenario, the contribution of this study (Integrated Model for Primary School Teacher’s Awards and Motivation) was recommended to the concerned stakeholders in the primary education department in Delta state, Nigeria.

Accelerated Learning and Exploring the Future of Professional Development
Authors: Moustaffa Naglaa 
Published: November 2022

This study aimed to reveal faculty members' impressions of the effectiveness of a sustainable professional development model derived from accelerated learning principles. The semi-experimental approach and its approved descriptive and analytical approaches collect data through a questionnaire directed at a study sample of 55 members from the Faculty of Education at Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia. The study used descriptive statistics to describe frequencies, ratios, means, and standard deviations, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient, Pearson correlation coefficient, independent-samples t-test, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The study results indicate a consensus about the model's effectiveness as applied at the institutional and individual levels, and there are no statistically significant differences in impressions due to gender, age, work experience, or academic degree. The study reached the conclusion that examining the applied model for professional development based on accelerated learning principles showed that investing in information and communication technology was effective within the study's limits. However, to evaluate the effectiveness of the application, the study recommended that the researchers should evaluate all dimensions of the professional development model in different contexts and enrich the educational research library with more professional development studies and models for applying the accelerated learning principles.

Impact of Urbanization and Economic Growth in Albania
Authors: Lubonja Otjela , Shehu Elona 
Published: November 2022

One of the goals of the study is to analyze how urbanization and economic growth are related, identify the elements that influence a nation's urbanization, and add to the body of theoretical and empirical research on urbanization. Over the past 32 years, Tirana has undergone a number of swift and challenging transformations in the economic, social, and political arenas. The sudden transformation of the natural and populated terrain serves as a stark example of an unforeseen and novel phenomenon for Albanian society. Various researchers have confirmed this statement but no previous study has used socio-economic data to study this relationship in the city of Tirana, as a city with a promising economic development. Urbanization is linked to problems including insufficient housing, poor waste management, and insufficient infrastructure, all of which are very difficult to eradicate and control. These problems are still a battle in developed nations. Tirana and other developing cities have a much higher rate of urbanization than did the wealthy nations of today when they were first developing (Dutt and Parai, 1994). Through an examination of the causal relationships between variables and their effects on the economy, this study looks at other aspects of population migration. This study is analytical and exploratory. The research findings can support attempts to discover acceptable solutions to urban problems, particularly in Tirana and beyond, by providing an up-to-date understanding of the elements that project urbanization. The study is based on contemporary urbanization theory, which is particularly relevant in the instance of Tirana. The following ways that this study will increase knowledge are as follows: it will pinpoint socioeconomic factors that attempt to forecast Tirana's urbanization; it will develop a method to measure urbanization and economic growth through a standardized measure. The basic methods according to which such an evaluative analysis will be made are related to the correlation between the variables as well as the regression analysis. The data have been obtained from INSTAT and the World Bank for the period 1998-2019.

Impact of Contaminated Water and Sediment on Fish Species of Peshawar Region, KPK, Pakistan
Authors: Khan Shamsher , Mateen Irfan 
Published: November 2022

Rivers in the KPK Peshawar region of Pak are subjected to a variety of anthropogenic impacts, Agricultural operations, industry, and urban garbage are all examples. The purpose of The goal of this research was to find out the degree of water contamination by showing a testing that includes in situ bio-monitoring of water constituents on Geno-toxicity in local fish species. Three places in the region were tested for Geno-toxicity using the micronucleus test. At sample locations like the urban perimeter, farmland, and the fertiliser industry, it was interesting to observe if there were any differences between monitored species control and such Characidium fasciatum, Astyanax fasciatus, Astyanax altiparanae. Records showed that the species from sites one, Two, and Three had a considerably greater frequency of Micronucleus when compared to fish from site Four. The frequency of Micronucleus was substantially higher in and A. altiparanae and A. fasciatus erythrocytes at sites one and two. Micronucleus frequencies were higher at site three in C. fasciatum. Micronucleus induction in C. fasciatum was associated to Cr levels in water and sediment, whereas A. altiparanae and A. fasciatum were linked to zinc levels in water and sediment.

Mirth as an Outlet of Repressed Feminine Yearnings in Carol Ann Duffy’s Poetry
Authors: Lum Mary Louisa 
Published: November 2022

Subtlety is the only way wherein feminine rebellion can flourish and succeed in a male dominant society. This paper attempts to show that collaborative feminine effort leads to collective liberty and that Duffy (2002) pays homage to the feminist waves, especially the radical phase. The poet uses laughter as a metaphor to represent the feminist waves that were initially perceived as a joke but culminated in a force that ensured the emancipation of women. Although women’s desires are often repressed by the patriarchal machinery that seeks to oppress them, united action leads to liberation. Critics of Duffy have focused on her radical feminist and revisionist themes but this paper will also read the Laughter of Stafford Girls High (2002) as a homage to the various feminist waves that have contributed to women’s emancipation discourses globally. The paper draws from Wollstonecraft (1792) whose treatise A Vindication of the Rights of Woman exposed the triviality of women’s education and advocated for equality in learning. Although contemporary society enjoys parity in learning, several feminist critics like Howe (1977) and Hooks (1994) insist that there are still hidden messages within curriculums that tactfully ensure the marginal role of women. The absence of women in the canons gives the pervasive feeling that women have contributed nothing to human progress. The paper, therefore, aligns with the idea of feminine writing posited by Cixous (1976) as the only way through which women can write their unique history. From a reading of Duffy (2002) with the aforementioned theoretical leanings, it was realized that spaces of patriarchal brainwashing still abound despite the perceived progressive worldview. Equally, united action is important for the restitution of the rights of all women globally.

Authors: Ofem Usani Joseph , Ofem Isaac Ubi , Akpan Samuel , Ovat Sylvia Victor , Nworgwugwu C. E. , Otu Bernard , Atah Cletus Akpo 
Published: November 2022

The study developed, validated, and standardised a statistical literacy test for university undergraduates in Cross River State, Nigeria. Five research questions were raised to guide this study. The study adopted an instrumentation design. A stratified sampling technique was used to select a total of 753 respondents from a population of 4705 students. Three instruments were used to collect data: the Statistical Literacy Test (SLT), the Statistical Reasoning Test (SRT), and the Statistical Anxiety Test (SAT). Descriptive statistics (means and simple percentages), correlational analysis, and the factor analytical technique were used to analyse the data collected. The result showed that only 25 items survived the last item assessment. The instrument was found to have strong construct validity as the items in the correlation matrix were all positively correlated. The statistical literacy scale showed convergence with statistical reasoning but diverged with statistical anxiety. The reliability of the instrument was found to be high as the coefficients of the scale were 0.81, 0.77, and 0.78 respectively, and it was adjudged reliable. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that the instrument was valid and reliable. Thus, it was recommended that students' skills in statistics should not just be on the computational aspect but on the utilisation of statistical knowledge. Statistics lecturers should emphasise statistical literacy to help students reason and think statistically, and the instrument should be widely distributed for use by researchers and psychometricians.

Published: November 2022

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis keberhasilan program Bantuan Stimulan Perumahan Swadaya (BSPS) di Kota Pagar Alam.Metode analisis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Analisis Deskriptif Kualitatif.Dengan teknik pengumpulan data dari wawancara, observasi (pengamatan di lapangan) dan studi dokumentasi. Informan penelitian ini adalah informasi yang diperoleh dari Dinas Perumahan, Permukiman dan Pertanahan Kota Pagar Alam, Tim Konsultan BSPS Kota Pagar Alam, dan Penerima Bantuan di wilayah intervensi Program BSPS 2019. Tentang hasil studisebagai program khusus yang menyasar masyarakat berpenghasilan rendah, program BSPS Di Kota Pagar Alam dapat dikatakan berhasil namun tidak efektif karena masih terdapat banyak masyarakat pada kelompokberpenghasilan rendah yang belum terdukungtercapai, hal ini dikarenakan karena persyaratan pemerintah secara langsung membebani penerima bantuan karena mereka harus menyediakan lebih banyak dana atau penghematan untuk pelaksanaan bangunan dan biaya tukang. Dengan adanya program BSPS ini, diharapkan bisa meningkatkan kehidupan sosial masyarakat dengan mereka yang membutuhkan bantuan.Gotong royong yang mulai pudar diharapkan muncul kembali lewat kehadiran program ini meskipun di lapangan hanya sebagian kecil saja yang tampak bergotong royong sebagian lainnya tidak.Rekomendasiberdasarkan informasi yang diperoleh selama penelitian ini, besarnya bantuan menjadi beban bagi penerima manfaat, sehingga perlu dipertimbangkan apakah jumlah yang akan disalurkan akan memenuhi kebutuhan pembangunan rumah atau tidak. Kita perlu menambah kuota penerima, karena masih banyak masyarakat berpenghasilan rendah yang tidak memiliki rumah. Keduanya menggunakan dana APBN dan APBD. Sebaiknya kegiatan program yang dibiayai APBN disertai dengan dana bantuan dari APBD untuk mempercepat pembangunan dan mengurangi permasalahan dan dilema di masyarakat.
La France et les bolcheviks : partenaires et adversaires (novembre 1917-juillet 1918)
Authors: Pavlov Andreï , Piégais Gwendal 
Published: November 2022

À partir de la révolution d’Octobre, les diplomates et militaires français en poste en Russie tentent de comprendre la nouvelle donne politique et de composer avec un pouvoir bolchevique qui promeut la « paix sans annexion ni compensation ». Mais loin de représenter un moment de rupture, la séquence qui va de novembre 1917 à l’été 1918 est riche en projets de coopérations militaires et d’hypothèses d’alliance entre Français et bolcheviks. Les Français, leurs alliés, et les bolcheviks ne renoncent que très tardivement à l’idée d’une coopération militaire, voire d’une alliance contre l’Allemagne. Il faut une série de crises diplomatiques et militaires pour que la rupture soit consommée et que les bolcheviks soient considérés comme des ennemis.
Les militaires français en URSS dans les années 1930 : entre pragmatisme et problématique d’alliance
Authors: Vidal Georges 
Published: November 2022

Le rapprochement franco-soviétique entamé au début des années 1930 comprend l’instauration à partir du printemps 1933 de relations entre l’armée française et l’armée soviétiques qui permettent à des officiers français de séjourner en URSS comme attachés militaires, stagiaires ou membres de missions militaires. Ils ont pour mission d’apporter des éléments de réponses à trois questions : – Ce régime est-il stable, solide et a-t‑il les moyens de mener une politique de puissance ? Corrélativement, les objectifs des dirigeants soviétiques sont-ils avant tout révolutionnaires ou nationaux ? – Par-delà la propagande du Kremlin et les données statistiques, quelle est la véritable valeur de l’Armée rouge ? – Une alliance est-elle souhaitable et possible ? La qualité du travail fournit par ces observateurs est reconnue par le haut commandement qui la prend en considération dans ses prises de décisions et dans l’influence qu’il peut exercer sur le pouvoir politique pour orienter la politique française en Europe orientale.
Défendre l’alliance. La pédagogie sur les alliances avec les États de la Petite Entente auprès de l’Italie (1920-1933)
Authors: Nardelli-Malgrand Anne-Sophie 
Published: November 2022

De 1920 à 1933 la France dut articuler ses alliances avec les États de la Petite Entente et son entente chaotique et indécise avec l’Italie, qui rejetait toute forme de confédération danubienne. Cerner la valeur que la France accordait à ses alliances bilatérales, et à la Petite Entente comme un tout, dans ses discussions avec l’Italie et étudier la pédagogie déployée à Rome sur ces questions permet ainsi d’interroger les fondamentaux des alliances. La stratégie d’intégration diplomatique menée par la France jusqu’au Pacte à Quatre s’avéra une impasse : la façon de concevoir et de présenter les alliances françaises en Europe centrale traduisit leur dépendance à une conciliation avec l’Italie, conciliation d’autant plus instable qu’elle négligeait les évolutions du régime fasciste.
L’Entente baltique, une « Petite Entente du Nord » ? (1918-1940) : petits états, projets régionaux et perceptions françaises
Authors: Gueslin Julien 
Published: November 2022

De 1918 à 1940, de multiples projets visant à réunir les États de la Baltique orientale ont été initiés avec un succès relativement limité et ce en dépit de l’écho rencontré en France par le traité de septembre 1934 qui consacra le terme « de pays baltes ». L’article entend replacer l’idée d’Entente baltique au centre de la réflexion de petits États en quête d’une place dans l’Europe nouvelle et sa rhétorique, d’un appui auprès des puissances tout en craignant de se fondre dans un espace régional à l’homogénéité utopique. L’étude des perceptions françaises montre l’ambiguïté d’une grande puissance partagée entre son désir de promouvoir un concept utile aux idées françaises, la volonté de ne pas s’engager et le fait d’arriver à bloquer l’hégémonie de toute autre grande puissance.
Émergences émotionelles aux épreuves projectives à l’adolescence : le rire et l’humour
Authors: Regelin Eva , D’Imperio Valentina , Roman Pascal , Hanifi Mina , Saudan Marie 
Published: November 2022

Cet article présente les résultats d’une étude portant sur la fonction du rire et de l’humour à l’adolescence. Les données projectives de cinq adolescents non consultants, âgés de 13 à 18 ans, ont été récoltées avec la passation du Rorschach et du TAT. L’analyse qualitative des données a été menée dans la perspective de l’École de Paris, et l’humour et le rire, que nous appellerons dans cet article « émergences émotionnelles », ont été traités comme des indicateurs projectifs, témoins de ce qui s’est joué lors de la passation, dans la rencontre avec le matériel et le clinicien. Les résultats permettent de mettre en avant l’intrication de ces émergences dans des axes narcissiques et objectaux, mobilisés durant la période délicate de l’adolescence comme procédés défensifs et se déployant également dans le rapport à l’autre.
Where do Donor Countries Stand in Climate Aid Allocation and Reporting?
Authors: Neumann Noel Lucille , Bayramoglu Basak 
Published: November 2022

Dans les négociations climatiques, les pays développés se sont engagés à aider les pays en développement dans leurs efforts d’atténuation et d’adaptation au changement climatique. L’aide climatique est pourtant jugée insuffisante par les pays receveurs. La littérature montre que les pays développés surestiment le contenu climatique des projets qu’ils financent. Nous proposons une revue des aides climatiques bilatérales et de leur surestimation par les pays donateurs en nous appuyant sur l’analyse empirique de Bayramoglu et al. [2022], à partir de la base de données de l’OCDE-CRS qui couvre 28 donateurs, 154 receveurs et 63 195 projets entre 2002 et 2018.

THE ROLE OF STORIES IN WALDORF EDUCATION: MEANING, PRINCIPLES AND METHOD
Authors: Goldshmidt Gilad 
Published: November 2022

The subject of the article is the meaning of stories as an essential part of the Waldorf (anthroposophic) educational approach. Firstly, the meaning of stories as an educational tool is described, followed by an understanding of their educational and human value, especially for children of elementary school age. Subsequently, the article reviews the use of stories as an integral part of the educational work in Waldorf schools. In this educational stream, the story serves as a main methodical means for conveying abstract concepts and supporting the development of children as well as supporting different challenges in classroom and school life. Last but not least, the story in itself serves as a kind of mental treasure of images and processes that can help children understand the world and impart meaning to their lives.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0946/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
