Sport et mondialisation
Authors: McKinley Dale T. , Finat Camila , Leroy Aurélie 
Published: May 2022

La Coupe du monde de football est le moteur d’un complexe d’accumulation rodé. La privatisation et la globalisation des acteurs a permis à la FIFA – au nom du sport et du développement – d’exploiter les pays hôtes et de se garantir, par tous les moyens, des bénéfices colossaux pour elle et ses partenaires commerciaux. Le dévoiement du sport utilisé comme bélier du capitalisme néolibéral appelle une remise en cause fondamentale du système.
« Là où on nous attend le moins ». L’animal comme fiction d’investigation architecturale
Authors: Rouillard Dominique 
Published: May 2022

L’article rend compte de six années de séminaire à l’ENSA Paris-Malaquais, de septembre 2015 à juin 2021, autour de la problématique d’un « autre animal » de l’architecture. Développée dans un projet de recherche sur le long terme, la problématique est introduite comme outil didactique de désacoutumance pour penser et théoriser l’architecture (ville, territoire) autant que comme initiation aux problématiques écologiques et environnementales : l’animal comme fiction théorique et surréelle d’investigation.Dans ce but, les étudiants et étudiantes sont placé.es dans la position inconfortable d’avoir à renoncer aux hypothèses déjà-là sur tout ce qui environne aujourd’hui l’animal dans le contexte de la « perte biodiversitaire », et qui progressivement atteignent les écoles d’architecture, et renoncer jusqu’au passé millénaire des rapports de l’architecture à l’animal. À cette condition, ils et elles pourront espérer rencontrer l’autre animal de l’architecture, « là où on les attend le moins ».
Infrastructures animales. Le cheval comme acteur de la transformation des territoires
Authors: Mercuriali Mathieu 
Published: May 2022

La domestication des espèces animales et végétales a débuté au néolithique, il y a plus de 5 000 ans. Cet affranchissement du sauvage s’est accompagné d’une sédentarisation des humains et d’une organisation du territoire pour accueillir un nouveau rapport entre les espèces. L’article propose d’explorer l’organisation spatiale et nos modes de vie au regard du cas du cheval. Il s’agit ainsi d’explorer les relations des animaux à l’architecture à travers la domestication du cheval, un animal médiateur entre la notion de « nature » et celle de « culture », qu’il a transformé. Le cheval n’a pas été un outil, mais un acteur de la transformation des territoires, ce dont témoigne l’architecture. À travers ces échelles d’architecture et d’infrastructure, un nouveau regard sera porté sur l’organisation spatiale des sociétés humaines à travers sa relation aux équidés.

Published: May 2022

Purpose: The research aimed to identify the important problems facing the agricultural extension system in Egypt. Research Method: A simple random sample was selected from the extension workers in Fayoum and Beheira governorates (196 respondents) Data collection was done from October 2020 to February 2021, using a questionnaire designed based on the framework of modernization and development of agricultural extension systems developed by FAO. Findings: The results indicated that the extension organization in Egypt suffers from aging and erosion (62.2% of the surveyed agricultural extension workers are over 46 years old), 58.7% of the surveyed Extension workers were not specialized in agricultural extension. the extension workers were not sufficiently satisfied with their work. As for the important problems facing extension work in Egypt, foremost of which was the problem centralization, lack of authority delegation, absence of institutional work, absence of funding sources, weakness of the operational budget, weakness of the academic programs before service, absence of adequate training opportunities, absence of a clear and integrative mechanism to link agricultural extension with scientific research institutions, in addition to the absence of coordination with colleges of agriculture and veterinary medicine, mass media, NGOs, and private sector could be identified. Research Limitation: This study was based on a small sample in two governorates. Therefore, policymakers should be careful to generalize the findings to a broad context. Originality/ Value: This study dealt with extension problems within the framework of modernization and development of agricultural extension systems developed by FAO, to provide officials with a vision of the most important problems and reform priorities.
Effect of Salicylic Acid and Calcium Chloride on Growth of Corn Under Water Stress Condition
Authors: Somtrakoon Khanitta , Chouychai Waraporn 
Published: May 2022

Purpose: Oxidation stress occurs when plants are exposed to water stress and it limits the plant growth and yield. The application of salicylic acid (SA) and CaCl2 is expected to alleviate this stress and induce plant growth and yield in corn. Research Method: Corn was planted in two main plots, normal and drought irrigation regimes (three- and four-day water withholding, respectively), and each main plot was divided into three sub plots, that were no-application, application with 0.01 SA and 0.01 SA + 45 mM CaCl2 sections. A plant growth regulator was sprayed on the corn two times on days 20 (before water withholding begin) and 50. The corn height, shoot fresh weight and corn yield (ear weight, ear diameter, ear length, number of rows/ear and seeds/ row) were measured on day 65. Statistically significant differences between treatments were analyzed with a two-way ANOVA. Findings: Between days 25 – 60, the shoot length of the corn growing in the drought irrigation plot was higher than that in either normal irrigation plot (receiving plant growth regulator or not). On day 65, only the corn sprayed with SA shown similar shoot lengths between the different irrigation regimes. The ear diameter and weight of corn grown in the drought irrigation were better than under normal irrigation. SA application could induce shoot fresh weight and ear growth under normal irrigation, while the SA + CaCl2 application induced the ear diameter and ear weight in the drought irrigated plot. Originality/ Value: With these results, it is possible to use SA and CaCl2 to promote plant growth and yield in acidic soil

Purpose:
The present study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of computed tomography-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) to treat pulmonary nodules under conscious analgosedation with sufentanil.

Materials and Methods:
February to May 2021, 124 patients with 151 pulmonary nodules were enrolled in this study. The patients underwent 124 sessions of MWA. Sufentanil (0.25 μg/kg) was injected intravenously before MWA.

Results:
The technical success was 100% and no procedure-related deaths. The dosage of sufentanil was 16.6 ± 3.0 μg. The mean tumor diameter in the enrolled patients was 1.3 ± 0.8 cm. The intraoperative mean numerical rating scale (NRS) was 2.2 ± 1.7. Among the patients with NRS >3, seven patients had nodules adjacent to the pleura, while in ten patients, they were not adjacent. The mean systolic, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate of patients were 139.1 ± 23.5 mmHg, 77.8 ± 12.3, and 76.1 ± 13.4 times/min, respectively, before sufentanil injection. The mean lowest systolic, lowest diastolic blood pressure, and lowest heart rate intraoperative were 132.9 ± 22.0 mmHg, 76.1 ± 12.1, and 74.0 ± 13.5 times/min. Twenty-six patients had mild adverse events including nausea (6.45%, 8/124), dizziness (2.42%, 3/124), vomiting(4.03%, 5/124), nausea and dizziness (2.42%, 3/124), nausea with vomiting and dizziness (2.42%, 3/124), urinary retention (1.61%, 2/124) and respiratory depression (0.81%, 1/124).

Conclusion:
Sufentanil is a feasible, safe, and effective analgesic for MWA in patients with pulmonary nodules. It can be used for clinical promotion.

Authors: Turgut Mustafa , İnce Murat 
Published: May 2022

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between nomophobia and the level of using educational technologies in teachers working in the centre of Zonguldak. A total of 274 teachers, 128 female and 146 male, participated in this study which was conducted by using a relational survey model. “Scale for Determination of Level of Teachers’ Educational Technology Usage” and “Nomophobia Scale” was used in the study as data collection instruments. T-test and one-way ANOVA were used to determine whether teachers’ educational technologies usage and nomophobia levels differed in terms of different variables. The relationship between teachers’ educational technologies usage and nomophobia levels was examined with Pearson Correlation Analysis. According to the results obtained from data analysis, while significant difference was found between teachers’ educational technologies usage levels in terms of the variables of gender, level of education, age and in-service training received on technology; no significant difference was found in terms of the variable of the length of service. In the scores obtained from the nomophobia scale given to teachers, no significant difference was found in terms of the variables of gender, length of service, level of education, age and in-service training received on technology. However, no significant relationship was found between teachers’ educational technologies usage and nomophobia levels. In the light of results obtained from the study, it is recommended to give in-service trainings to teachers where current technologies are introduced due to the rapid development of technology.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0907/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
ANALYSIS OF DIRECT TAXES AND GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT OF THE KENYAN ECONOMY
Authors: Obura Johnmark 
Published: May 2022

<p>Gross Domestic Product acts as an indicator of the economic growth of a country. To enhance economic growth, the government must initiate development that would spur such growth. Gross Domestic Product represents the rise or fall in per capita income. To facilitate such development, the government should ensure consistent income through taxation. The purpose of this study was to establish the relationship between direct taxes and the Gross Domestic Product of the Kenyan economy. The independent variable was direct tax while the dependent variable was real Gross Domestic Product. The Benefit theory of taxation was used in the study. Time series data collected from Economic Survey for 21 years covering the period 1999-2020 was used in the study. The data was analyzed using inferential statistics. The results showed that direct tax accounted for 84% of real GDP during the period under study (R2=.85) ad that there was a strong positive correlation between direct tax and real GDP (R=.916). Moreover, it was revealed that a unit standard increase in direct tax would significantly lead to .916 increase in real GDP (ß=.916, p&lt;0.05). In conclusion, the study failed to accept the null hypothesis and concluded that Direct Taxes have a significant relationship with the Real Gross Domestic Product of the Kenyan economy. The study recommended that government should ensure an effective and efficient way of collecting and utilizing direct taxes since they have a direct bearing on the growth of the economy.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>JEL</strong>: O10; O40</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0937/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: May 2022

<p>“<em>To become a champion requires a good mental attitude toward preparation. You have to accept the most tedious task with pleasure</em>”, Bruce Lee (1940-1973). The emergence of Online Distance Learning (ODL) amidst the pandemic Covid-19 forces the learners to have mental readiness in embracing the new normal mode of learning. This study is done to examine the presence of cognitive and behavioural processes that the learners experience, in developing their own mental readiness towards L2 online learning. 240 university students from several universities in Malaysia responded to the questionnaire. The quantitative data have been analysed by using SPSS version 26 to disclose percentage for the demographic profile and mean score for the variables. Findings indicate that cognitive and behavioural processes occurred when the learners develop mental readiness in L2 online learning despite being ambivalent about the effectiveness of e-learning class as compared to face-to-face class. The study suggests the importance of the stability of the external factors, such as the technicality and the support system, which include a positive environment and enough aid from their instructor/teacher, will enhance learners’ e-learning experiences.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0933/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: May 2022

With the occurrence of the COVID-19 crisis, there has been dramatically growth and adoption of online education. As a consequence of the epidemic, institutes have been compulsory to close, and teaching and learning have changed fully to home studying. As a result, numerous educational institutions have adopted online teaching and learning on a massive scale. To combine the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach with a framework of computer-assisted language learning seems to be the best strategy during a coronavirus outbreak. This study offers a survey of the literature on Communicative Language Teaching in the situation of online teaching and studying. This paper begins with an overview, definition, and characteristics of CLT. It then examines how CLT can be beneficial in a virtual classroom: advantages and disadvantages. Besides, it discusses the approaches to using CLT in online teaching and learning. This paper's goal is to provide an effective overview that can be used for online language instruction. The study will add to our understanding of Communicative Language Teaching and its use in an online setting.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0947/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
PARENTAL PREDISPOSITION TO EDUCATION INFLUENCING FEMALE ENROLMENT IN ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY IN ANGLO-SAXON STATE UNIVERSITIES IN CAMEROON
Authors: Cheny Nfor Julius 
Published: May 2022

Parental predisposition to education extends beyond the engagement with schools to the home life, and the expectations of values for education that are communicated directly or indirectly to children. The objective of this study is to assess the influence of parental predispositions to education on female enrolment in Engineering and Technology programmes in the Anglo-Saxon state universities of Cameroon. The study used an explanatory sequential mixed method research design, and a multi-stage sampling technique was used to randomly select 276 respondents from the universities of Bamenda and Buea. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected using structured questionnaires and interview schedules with 10 parents whose children are admitted to engineering and technology programs in these English-speaking state universities. Content analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data. Descriptive statistics, point biserial and binary logit regression analysis were used to analyse the quantitative data and to test the hypothesis at p&lt;.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that parental predisposition to education correlates significantly to students’ enrolment in engineering and technology. The null hypothesis was rejected and it was recommended that parents should engage prominently in children’s education through the provision of support both at home and in school.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0919/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
FACTORS INFLUENCING THE GHANAIAN PUBLICS’ ABILITY TO READILY RECOGNISE AND IDENTIFY ICONIC PERSONALITIES FROM THEIR ILLUSTRATED PORTRAITS
Authors: Edonu Kwamina Kurefi , Opoku Emmanuel Kwadwo 
Published: May 2022

<p>It is assumed that the fame of certain personalities in Ghana, Africa and the world has grown to iconic proportions and that they are well known both by name and physiognomy. However, there is no certainty that the Ghanaian public is visually aware of the physiognomy of these icons, and can easily recognise and identify them from their illustrated portraits. This study attempts to investigate people’s ability to recognise and identify iconic personalities from their illustrated portraits, through a survey of the sampled population in the Accra and Kumasi metropolises of Ghana. The sampled population consisted of 400 respondents made up of 200 each from Accra and Kumasi. The sample for each metropolis consisted of 50 JHS, 50 SHS, 50 tertiary students and 50 members of the general public outside the school system. Variations of illustrated portraits of three iconic persons were presented for identification. Most respondents especially, the JHS, SHS and the general public categories could not identify most of the images. This is as a result of their level of education, age, and knowledge of historical and current issues as well as the low level of publicity given to some of the iconic personalities. Again, most respondents in all the categories were not able to identify most silhouette drawings, with the exception of one in which the personality had distinct characteristics. This indicates that silhouette drawings may not be an ideal way of presenting portrait illustrations for identification. Results from the research has shown that the ability to recognise and identify iconic personalities is dependent on one’s level of education, knowledge of historical issues and age. It also depends on the level of publicity an iconic personality enjoys, what he or she does and nationality. The technique used in rendering portrait illustrations of iconic persons also influences people’s ability to recognise and identify those iconic personalities.<strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0937/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: May 2022

Meticulously developed business studies textbook facilitates individualized learning contributing to the achievement of learning objectives even in the absence of the teacher. Think-pair and share is accelerated as learners are likely to discuss amongst themselves new knowledge acquired through business studies textbook hence boosting learner enthusiasm in construction of knowledge. However, instructional information in business studies textbook may not necessarily facilitate realization of specific objectives where policy governing textbook selection, acquisition and review is inadequate and missing full implementation. Nevertheless, in an instance where the instructional policy guiding textbook selection, acquisition and review are adhered to, the quality textbook is availed to learners in secondary schools in Kenya. This study adopted an exploratory research design through qualitative approach to data collection and analysis. Further analysis showed that textbook selection, acquisition and review influence quality of textbooks used in secondary schools thereby determining quality of learning through textbook contributing to achievement of academic excellence for lifelong learning. Therefore, it is recommended that educational policies be developed considering the needs of the curriculum as well as the learners in order to boost learner mean score in secondary schools in Kenya.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0939/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
