Authors: Memon Tarique Ahmed 
Published: August 2022

Pakistan produces enormous quantity of biomass wastes for example rice straw (RS) and rice husk (RH), wheat straw, and other biomass wastes that are being burned in the field after crop harvest to prepare the land for next crop. Biomass is known as potential energy source which can be effectively utilized as an alternative to fossil fuels. This study aims to assess the energy potential and gaseous pollutant emissions from rice residues such as RS and RH. The Energy potential of crop residues in Pakistan was obtained by considering the residual characteristics like residue to crop product ratio, moisture level and lower heating value of dry biomass was obtained from the South Asian countries. The mathematical models were defined for the assessment of amount of residues, available energy potential and emissions of gaseous pollutants. The estimated amount of rice residues is 10147.65 thousand tons dry biomass. The theoretical and available energy potential of the rice residues were estimated as 159219TJ, and 100,431TJ respectively. Based on dry matter fraction and proportion of crop residue burnt, the total amount of crop residue burnt for RS and RH were 1356.38 thousand tons and 307.7 thousand tons respectively. Total emissions from burning of rice residues were 1749.59, 27.639, 2.432, 1.265, 4.997, and 0.549 Gg for CO₂, CO, NO, NO₂, NOx, and SO₂ respectively. It was concluded that the crop residues generated in Pakistan can be effectively utilized as an alternative energy source, to reduce demand supply gap, reliance on fossils fuels and lower contribution in global warming.

Published: August 2022

Purpose – In the 21st century, the importance of having good English proficiency in Malaysia and globally has impacted educators, especially in terms of their pedagogical practices. Although students are exposed to 11 years of English language instruction in Malaysia, Orang Asli students still possess low English proficiency and poor writing skills. This study aims to determine the extent to which the genre-based pedagogical approach is able to improve Orang Asli students’ English as a foreign language (EFL) writing performance and analyse their responses in using the genre-based pedagogical approach as a framework to improve their EFL writing performance. Methodology – This quasi-experimental study included 78 students from a secondary school in Pahang, Malaysia. Participants were assigned to the experimental and control groups (N=39) to generate students’ pretest and posttest scores. Quantitative data from the students’ questionnaire were also triangulated with qualitative data from the focus group discussions with the experimental group. Findings – The approach was effective in improving students’ descriptive writing and had a more significant effect than the mainstream process-based approach. Students reacted positively to the approach as they found it useful in improving their writing skills, which correlated with their improved test scores. Therefore, the genre-based pedagogical framework can be further enhanced by incorporating more grammar-related activities to meet the learning needs of Orang Asli students lacking in EFL writing skills. Significance – The novelty of this study is that the framework has the potential to be implemented in Malaysian secondary schools and other indigenous’ educational contexts. Furthermore, this study can be a point of reference to stakeholders, English language teaching (ELT) practitioners and educators in terms of advocating a genre-based pedagogical approach in an EFL context.

Purpose - This study aims to explore the teachers’ lived experiences in Senior High School teaching.The K to 12 program is one curricular reform in the Philippines to ascertain that basic education graduates possess the required competencies at par with the international standards. Methodology - In this qualitative study, 15 Senior High School (SHS) teachers’ lived experiences were explored to arrive at the essence of SHS teaching at the onset of curriculum implementation. Using Husserlian phenomenological design and Colaizzi’s method of data analysis, three themes emerged from the in-depth interviews: expectations and apprehensions, experiences and strategies, and attitude and aspirations. The teachers have acknowledged their important roles and have remained optimistic despite the program’s limitations. Their unique experiences as they grapple with their new teaching assignment enthused them to explore ways to assist them in the teaching process. Findings - The findings provide academic institutions with input to revisit policies of SHS implementation by charting relevant trainings geared toward teachers’ professional development, conducting regular onsite monitoring, and providing need-based support and resources for teachers’ up-skilling and re-skilling. Significance - With the requirements towards SHS implementation and the teachers’ collective aspirations, the Department of Education can continue to provide inclusive and equitable education for all.
Developing Students' Intercultural Communication Competence by Supplementing Local Culture Contents into English Lessons
Authors: Nguyen Thi Hong Minh , Nguyen Thi Thuy Linh 
Published: August 2022

The ultimate goal of language learning is to communicate effectively and sensibly in that language, yet during the history of language teaching and learning, a focus on linguistic competence has remained dominant, which has undoubtedly resulted in language learners’ lack of sociolinguistic competence or ―intercultural competence allowing them to be a successful speaker of the language. This study aims to increase students' intercultural awareness and strengthen their understanding of their home culture by integrating local culture contents into English lessons for 9th graders. The intervention lasted 10 weeks in the second semester of the academic year 2021-2022, and 40 students in 9th grade at a junior high school in Thai Nguyen city, Vietnam, were engaged in the study as participants. The study utilized tests and questionnaires as the fundamental research instruments to gather data on augmenting local culture contents into English teaching in order to increase students' intercultural awareness of their surroundings. SPSS version 26.0 was used to process and analyze the results of the pre and post-tests as well as the pre and post-questionnaires. The results showed that the supplementation of local culture contents into English lessons has a positive effect on the participants’ intercultural communication competence. It is therefore proposed that local culture contents should be more regularly integrated into English lessons to develop students’ knowledge of local culture.

Authors: Bonganciso Ruel 
Published: August 2022

Reading comprehension is one of the core learning abilities that plenty of learners struggle with. Being an active process of reading and extracting meaning from text, this cognitive skill requires effective use of strategic processes. To help the learners perform better in reading comprehension, action research, which aims to identify the effects of metacognitive strategies on the reading comprehension level of the thirty-three Grade-7 L2 learners, was conducted. A validated researcher-made reading comprehension test, observation checklist, and interview guide were used to gather the data. Results show that the reading comprehension level of the learners is average in the pretest and above average in the posttest. As observed, the learners were active while reading the text by making annotations on the text they were reading. Most of them said that they were able to monitor their comprehension by asking questions and making predictions while reading the text. Thus, there is an increase in the reading comprehension performance of the learners after the intervention. Accordingly, metacognitive strategies are useful in developing the reading comprehension performance of the learners.

Published: August 2022

The present investigation was carried out in a holistic mode to study the interactions among the integrated farming system (IFS) components and to develop and design a sustainable IFS model which is technologically sound, economically viable, environmentally benign, and socially acceptable for the middle Indo-Gangetic Plains. For efficient utilization of farm resources and to enhance the income per unit area of land, 10 IFS models have been developed at the farmers’ fields of Patna, Nalanda, and Vaishali districts of Bihar, India, during 2016–2021, involving components like crops, poultry, cattle, goat, mushroom farming, fishery, and duckery in different combinations. Out of 10 different integrations, three primary cropping systems prevailing in the state were undertaken and seven other components were integrated in a synergistic mode. Each system was allocated an area of 0.8 ha (2,000 m²), viz., (i) rice–wheat, (ii) rice–maize, (iii) rice–maize–moong (crop), (iv) crop + vegetable + goat, (v) crop + fish + goat, (vi) crop + fish + cattle, (vii) crop + fish + duck + goat, (viii) crop + fish + duck, (ix) crop + fish + mushroom, and (x) crop + fish + poultry. To sustain the productivity of soil health, inorganic fertilizers combined with organic wastes, obtained from various components of IFS, viz., recycled pond silts, poultry manure, duck manure, goat manure and cow dung as farmyard manures (FYMs), composted residues, and vermicompost were applied to crops grown under different IFS models. The nutrient content of manure increased manifolds after recycling as compost and vermicompost. Residue recycling revealed that integration of crops with fish and duck resulted in higher fish productivity and higher net returns (increased by USD13) in comparison to poultry dropping fed fishes. Due to the recycling of droppings, viz., poultry, duck, goat, cattle, and plant wastes, an additional quantity of 56.5 kg N, 39.6 kg P2O5, and 42.7 kg K2O was added to the soil during the study. Crop integrated with fish + duck + goat had the maximum rice grain equivalent yield (RGEY), net returns, and employment opportunity (467 man-days/year) from 0.8 ha of land, followed by crop + fish + poultry integration. The sustainability index (0.77) and net energy gain (95,770 MJ) were also found highest with crop + fish + duck+ goat integration indicating the optimum efficiency of all the farming system integrations for the region.

PurposeIn this study, we examined the changes to the composition and function of the gut microbiota from patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).We compared patients in a case group (liver stiffness (LSM) ≥ 7.4 kPa) with a matched control group (LSM &lt; 7.4 kPa) and investigated the correlation between characteristics of the microbiota and other biochemical indicators. MethodsThe study looked at a total of 85 men with MAFLD, 17 of whom were in the case group and 68 of whom were in the control group. We measured waist circumference, blood pressure, and body mass index, as well as clinical parameters including liver stiffness, enzyme levels, cholesterol levels, and fat attenuation. Whole-genome shotgun sequencing technology and the MetaCyc database were then used to detect the composition and major pathways of the gut microbiota for each patient. Statistical analyses were performed, including the chi-square test, the student’s t-test, the Wilcoxon rank-sum test, and the Mann–Whitney test. ResultsWhole-genome sequencing showed that the composition of the gut microbiota in patients with an LSM of above 7.4 kPa was significantly different to that of the control group. There were seven bacterial species that were different between the two groups. Prevotella copri, Phascolarctobacterium succinatutens, Eubacterium biforme, and Collinsella aerofaciens were enriched in the case group (P &lt; 0.05). Conversely, Bacteroides coprocola, Bacteroides stercoris and Clostridiales bacterium 1_7_47FAA were decreased in the case group (P &lt; 0.05). Furthermore, after removing low abundance pathways, a total of 32 microbial pathways were found to be significantly different between the two groups. Most pathways enriched in the case group over the control were related to biosynthesis of metabolites including amino acids, vitamins, nucleosides, and nucleotides. Conclusion. The composition and function of the gut microbiota in patients with increased liver stiffness are significantly altered. This observation may provide new avenues to better understand the mechanism of liver fibrosis.
