The following negative factors have had a significant impact on the withdrawal of irrigated arable land from agricultural turnover in the Kashkadarya region of the Republic of Uzbekistan. 44,818 ha (64.5%) out of 69,469 ha of arable land in the region fell into disrepair due to lack of water supply, and 8,124 ha (11.7%) fell into disrepair due to unsuitable irrigation systems (canals, flumes and ditches) into disrepair, 1069 ha (1.5%) due to non-working artesian wells and failed pumps, 13359 ha (19.2%) due to the deterioration of the ameliorative state (1779.0 ha groundwater rose and swamped, in 11580 ha increased mineralization), 2126 ha (3.1%) have a layer of gypsum and all these reasons led to the fact that arable land was dropped from agricultural circulation and perennial crops turned into shrubs as a result of non-cultivation. This article describes the results of scientific and practical research conducted by the State Research and Design Institute Uzdaverloyiha in 2018-2021 in order to increase the efficiency of land use in Kashkadarya region, where the situation has deteriorated and lost its agricultural turnover.

The most widely grown drought-tolerant warm-season coarse grain cereal, Pearl Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br.] is grown on almost 26 million ha. Pearl Millet is Indias fourth most extensively and widely produced food crop. This study aims for estimation of genetic variability among fifty-two genotypes of Pearl Millet were grown at Bajra Research Scheme, College of Agriculture, Dhule, (MS) during Kharif, 2020, in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. The maximum inter-cluster distance (D2) were observed between clusters VI and VII (23.06) and cluster minimum between II and III (8.23). The significant differences due to genotypes with high range (D2) value clearly indicated the presence of adequate diversity among genotypes studied. Among the genotypes divergence contributed maximum (41.63%) to iron content, followed by plant height (19.23%), panicle girth (15.16%), test weight (6.86%), days to flowering (5.13%), yield per plant (4.15%), panicle length (4.00%), and zinc content (3.39%)etc. Hence, this traits suggested important indices for selection of superior genotypes of pearl millet in breeding programs.

For about two decades now, Boko Haram, whose real name is Jama at ahl al-sunna li-da`wa wa-l-qital has been waging war against the Nigerian nation in a bid to carve an Islamic state (a caliphate) out of Nigeria. The group is opposed to any form of Western education as its name; Boko Haram, means (Western) education is forbidden. Pursuant to this, the deadly group has attacked schools where hundreds of students were kidnapped. Hundreds of people have also been killed by the group. However, the Nigerian government, through its well-oiled propaganda machine, is wont to make Nigerians believe that it is winning the war against Boko Haram. For example, the Nigerian government has, at one time or the other, said that Boko Haram had been technically decimated or defeated several times. The reality, however, is that the insurgents are the ones having the upper hand as they resurfaced (even with more viciousness and brutality) each time government claimed the group had been defeated. Therefore, this paper looks at how both the Nigerian government and the leadership of Boko Haram deploy language in the propaganda-driven Boko Haram war with the aim of exposing how effectively or otherwise the government of Nigeria and Boko Haram have employed language in dishing out propaganda to the public. It concludes that for the fight against the insurgents to be effective, the Nigerian government must show its readiness to fight crimes and criminality instead of relying on propaganda. Among others, the paper recommends that the Nigerian government should not take Boko Haram messages as mere propaganda because the insurgent group has on many occasions lived up to its threat.

This study investigated the 374 respondents of Pamantasan ng Cabuyao on their level of awareness, attitude and level of compliance with RA11313 Safe Spaces Act thru the use of descriptive-correlational method based on the results of the three-part researcher-made questionnaire.

The fundamental objective of GETFund is to provide money to augment government budgetary allocations in the development of educational infrastructure at all stages of education, from pre-tertiary to tertiary level, as defined in the GETFund Act, 2000 Act 581. The purpose of the research is to investigate the inefficiencies in the execution of GETFund construction projects, identify variables impacting GETFund projects, and propose effective ways to increase successful GETFund project execution in the Upper West Region. The descriptive survey research method was adopted for the study. Sixty-five clients, twenty-one consultancies, and sixty-two construction firms totalling one hundred and forty-eight were sampled for the study. Questionnaires were the major approach utilised for data gathering. Descriptive statistics were employed to examine the data. Findings from the study indicated that the most important difficulties that hinder efficient implementation of GETFund building projects are political and financial in nature. Furthermore, the most significant problems confronting effective GETFund construction project execution in the region are cost considerations and schedule aspects. It is recommended that a new approach to contract award procedures be instituted by giving less weight to prices and more weight to the capacity, past performance, and adherence to performance measurement of contractors bidding for the projects, irrespective of their political, cultural, and religious persuasions.

Sharp sand, the normal fine aggregate in concrete is getting scarce daily because of the increase in construction activities in the country. Moreover, the cost of sand is so enormous to be afforded by the common citizens. The need to find readily available and good substitutes for sand becomes imminent. Quarry fines, a waste product generated in the stone quarrying industries has been found to serve as a good substitute for sand in concrete. The proper utilization of this waste material in concrete will seriously reduce the problem of managing this waste while at the same time helping in the reduction of the cost of concrete produced. This study investigated the effects of replacement of river sharp sand with quarry fines on the split tensile strength of concrete. It was observed that the split tensile strength kept increasing as the curing days increased and attained a maximum value of 2.66N/mm2 at 75% sand replacement with quarry dust at 28 days age. At 100% quarry dust content, the 28th day split tensile strength reduced to 1.97N/mm2 indicating a 26% reduction in strength.

The purpose of this study was to improve the poetry reading skills of 10th grade science students at SMA Negeri 8 Sarolangun in the even semester of the 2022-2023 academic year through the Observe, Imitate, and Modify learning model using video media.

The study determined the relationship between connectedness to nature, grit, and depression level among selected Filipino adolescents. There were 116 respondents, with an average age of 19.6 years, who accomplished a self-administered questionnaire. The findings show that the average level of connectedness to nature was 50.99 with majority of the scores in the average range. Around two-thirds had an average grit level. Less than three-fourths of the respondents had an average depression level. Connectedness to nature had and a weak positive relationship with grit levels and a weak negative relationship with depression levels. Grit levels had a weak negative relationship with depression levels. These relationships were significant. Adolescent connectedness to nature and grit should be enhanced in various settings as they are related to positive individual states. Further studies can consider larger samples of adolescents from various contexts and how the mentioned variables may facilitate better well-being in the youth.

outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic significantly threatened the health of million people all over the world. As early as September 20 of the year 2020, a total of 33,692,000 confirmed cases were recorded across the globe which resulted major restriction in human mobility as a response to contain its spread (WHO, 2020). A qualitative study using transcendental (descriptive) phenomenological approach was conducted to explore the lived experiences of Covid-19 survivors in Catbalogan City were active cases was recorded. Key informants of the study were identified using a purposive sample who qualifies with the criteria of those: (a) tested positive from RT-PCR and deemed as recovered from Covid-19 and; (b) specifically residing in city and of legal age. Data was saturated on the 10th informants. Result showed that these Covid-19 survivors experienced heightened challenges in their physical, psychological and social aspect. Dominant challenge was concerned on their psychological which stemmed from the distress due to the financial restriction they have to suffer from the inevitable quarantines that can affect their livelihood, the fear of unknowingly infecting others, the solitude of isolation and the thought of imminent death they attribute to the disease. However, despite the overwhelming challenges they are facing, they were able to endure and challenge their situation by redirecting themselves on their determination which concerns with their families/dependents welfare and their will to pursue own personal goals. Moreover, because of the support (monetary or non-monetary) they received throughout their recovery process, their intensified situation became manageable especially with the psycho-social support from their families and peers which significantly promoted their fast recovery. Over all, in spite of the challenges that these individuals have experienced, they were able to proceed with their respective lives by asserting their unique experience in an optimistic matter which is incumbent for their re-integration in the society.

Online learning is not a new trend in education, some of the universities and colleges have been using it. Online distance learning is one of the three learning modalities that Pulo National High School implemented this SY 2020-2021. It is a big challenge for the teachers and school administration to venture into this platform since they are used in the traditional face to face mode of instruction. Araling Panlipunan is the subject that learners either love or hate. Among the attitude problems that the teachers encountered in teaching the subject is the interest and engagement. Will the attitude and academic performance of the learners towards Araling Panlipunan changes as the mode of teaching changes? The research uses descriptive methods as means for gathering data and information and interpreting the learners attitude and academic performance in online learning modality. Correlational method is used to find out if there is a significant relationship between the learners attitude and academic performance in the subject Araling Panlipunan in the online learning modality. The findings reveal that mean scores obtain from the learners’ self-assessment attitude is 4.19 which interpreted as positive attitude. Academic achievement of the learners in the fourth grading period is at 90.47 and as classified as Advanced in the levels of proficiency. With regards to the relations of attitude and academic performance, shows that there is a negligible, positive correlation between attitude and academic performance, which is not statistically significant (r = 0.043, N =169, p < 0.05). Positive attitude does not guarantee high academic performance. Since there is a minimal relation and is not statistically significant between the attitude and academic performance.

The paper explores the impact of industrial fishing on the Obolo (Andoni) people. The Obolo people sometime called Andoni are among the various ethnic groups found in the Niger Delta region precisely, the Eastern Niger Delta. Presently the Obolo speaking people are found in two local government areas, namely; Andoni local government, administered by the Rivers State government, while the Eastern Obolo Local Government is in Akwa Ibom State. Traditionally, fishing is the main occupation of the people. Other occupations of the people include, commerce, farming and marine transportation. The Obolo people are artisanal fishermen and women who engaged in fishing in the creeks, rivers and later in the open sea (Atlantic Ocean). The emergent of industrial or mechanized fishing which probably began in Nigeria in the 1950s has led to an increase in both Nigerian and foreign fishing trawler vessels; which ultimately led to what is described in fishery as “by-catch” and “discard”. Ukpatu (2012:3) defines the “by-catch” as anything the fishermen does not intend to catch namely; sea turtle, fish, crabs, shrimps, sharks, weed and sea debris; while “discard referred to the sub-set of the by-catch or portion of the catch that is thrown over into the sea, Andoni Forum, USA (2004:1). The by-catch is a new trend in fishing among the Obolo in particular and the coastal communities in general. The new trend is described in Obolo language as “Kpokpoben” meaning “don’t select” or “just carry” or “trawler”. The Kpokpoben provides employment, food, boast economic activities of the people of the coastal communities. In spite of what seem to be the advantages, its adverse effects include, depletion in natural fish stock, damage to fishing gears, loss of lives and property. Other adverse effects are increase in sea piracy and water pollution. The study recommends among others, the review / overhaul of the fishery laws in Nigeria, equipping the Nigerian Navy with modern security gadgets and mounting an enlightenment campaign in English and Local languages to create an awareness on the adverse effects of the kpokpoben on the Andoni environment

The emergence of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) has indeed revolutionized the worlds economy. Small and medium enterprises have made tremendous economic impact in most economies of countries around the world, especially those which were devastated by either natural or man-made disasters. The inroads of SMEs in the market had paved the way for most countries like the Philippines to prime its economy and moved forward towards economic recovery and growth. Estancia is one of the municipalities in the province of Iloilo which had lately been blessed with the coming of SMEs that are engaged in business with both consumable and non-consumable goods. The interest of identifying the factors that influenced the sales and after sales of SMEs in the locality was the primary reason why this research study was conducted. This study aimed to describe the marketing activities of the 152 SMEs in Estancia, Iloilo in terms of sales and after sales using the research-made questionnaire as instrument of the study. The results of the study showed that the marketing activities of the SMEs in terms of sales and after sales were satisfactory and mostly likely have caused the business to be stable and provided business operators to upgrade the quality of their life. As SMEs continue to act and provide as one of the pillars of the town’s economic recovery and growth, there is a need for the Local Government Unit (LGU) to provide the necessary avenues for collaboration and synergy with them. The LGU should try to see to it that through its comprehensive land use planning, priority should be given to the SMEs in the town particularly in terms of their location as to type of business and ensure the sustainability of their business.

Specifically, it covers the history of cholera and the biology of Vibrio cholera including the serogroups and virulence factors. The etiology, transmission and prevalence of the disease are thoroughly reviewed. All the information obtained from past literatures which have been combined in this report have broadened our knowledge on the current approaches needed in the treatment and management of cholera as well as the various control mechanisms as standard guidelines in the alleviation of the disease in the sub-Saharan Africa.

This paper presents the results of hydro-chemical and bacteriological analysis of water obtained from streams in Calabar South Local Government Area in Nigeria. Water samples were collected from five different streams in the local government area. The water samples were analysed for physic-chemical and bacteriological parameters. From the analytical results obtained, the different parameters tested were as follows: pH (3.81 – 5.35), TDS ( 2.28mg/l – 152.75mg/l), turbidity (0.12NTU – 44.07 NTU), DO ( 7.10mg/l – 10.40mg/l), BOD ( 0.35mg/l – 0.56mg/l), Fe (0.14mg/l – 0.91mg/l), Pb (0.03mg/l – 0.59mg/l), Zn (0.02mg/l – 0.87mg/l), Mn (0.76mg/l – 1.82mg/l), Cu (0.02mg/l – 0.18mg/l), THC (28 per 0.1 ml – 96 per 0.1ml), and total coliform count (23mg/l – 88 mg/l). Most of these parameters were highly objectionable for portable water sources. The bacteriological analysis showed isolation of specified bacterium from all the samples. It was observed that the water sources were quite unreliable for drinking when compared with the World Health Organization (WHO) Standards.

There are an increasing number of studies regarding subjective wellbeing however, its association towards perceived social support was still vague depending on how both constructs are used in every study. Therefore, the need to provide further literature among the constructs, bridge the gaps and further analyze its relation to the breadwinners in the community had been the basis to pursue this study. This study aimed to determine the relationship between negative affect and the parameters of perceived social support. Considering the results of the study, an intervention program was proposed by the researchers, Keep in Touch (KIT), in order to maintain the quality of social relationships of the respondents and promote better well-being for all.

Structured with qualitative-transcendental phenomenology, the study aimed at understanding the lived experiences of secondary school heads on the local government Special Education Fund for technological support in the new normal in the Division of Santa Rosa, Laguna, Philippines. The researcher utilized the framework of Moustakas (1994), which involved bracketing, horizonalization, theme clustering, textural description, structural description, and essence. From the verbatim transcriptions, 14 themes surfaced, which were intensively analyzed. The participants lived experiences of receiving local government fund-derived technological support to match the demands of distance learning and implementation of basic education learning continuity were relative to intricate experiences, retorts on transitional education, knowledge of local government fund, perceived support and downsides, realization of fund accessibility and decision-making, meeting the demands of distance learning, and usefulness and impacts on school outcomes. Consequently, the participants coping mechanisms in facing challenges and issues are manifested through prioritizing health and security, provision of sufficient and equitable technological support, congruency of actual needs, operative management schemes, strategic fund allocation, dynamism in training, workshops, and technical assistance, and collaboration towards positive support. The findings imply that in the new normal, the provision of local government for technological support in schools aided the successful implementation of distance learning via the virtual learning modality. The technological devices, such as laptops for teachers and tablets for students, helped a lot in complying with the required tasks while ensuring health and safety precautions.

Designed with qualitative-transcendental phenomenology, this study aimed at understanding the lived experience in the School Learning Action Cell (SLAC), a K to 12 Basic Education Program School-Based Continuing Professional Development Strategy for the Improvement of Teaching and Learning for a Responsible Management Education of selected public junior high school teachers in the division of Santa Rosa City, Laguna, Philippines. The researchers utilized the framework of Moustakas (1994) which consisted of bracketing, horizonalization, theme clustering, textural description, structural description, and essence. The verbatim transcriptions revealed sixteen (16) themes. An in-depth investigation of teachers lived experiences addressed two specific issues: their experiences in the SLAC and their responses to challenges and demands to improve their performance as teachers. Among the lived experience that surfaced included teacher empowerment through collaboration, transforming impediments into strengths, an instrument for competency enhancement, and the essence of project management. The participating teachers face the challenges and demands of the SLAC through the necessity of monitoring and evaluation, viewing challenges as triggers of change, determination fuels pedagogical enrichment, and commitment as a moral imperative. The findings indicate that collaboration among teachers is critical in executing the SLAC for Responsible Management Education. To reach and actualize the schools goals, teachers should be imbued with dedication, a sustained grasp of policy/program principles, character strength, community participation, and innovation. It requires greater commitment and leadership from teachers as well as school administrators and managers.

Mentoring is a way of transferring skills and knowledge from a knowledgeable person to a person who is in need of guidance. In todays world mentoring has become one of the prominent ways of learning. Usually traditional mentoring programs will involve one person guiding a group of students (mentees). Our system is designed to connect Mentor and Mentee where there will be one to one interaction. Rather than learning without proper guidance, mentee can learn from mentor as he will share information about his career path, provide guidance and also helps with exploring career and setting goals. The responsibility of a mentor is to showcase the possibilities to the students and to guide them on respective possible outcomes. Mentor Connector is a web based application which is developed to improve the performance of the students by assisting mentors to understand mentees problems. This application connects more people compared to traditional face-to-face mentoring system. If a person wants guidance from any mentor he can search through this web application and select the mentor of his choice present in any corner of the world. This system mainly enables the mentors to concentrate effectively on each and every student assigned to them. Scheduling future meetings is also easier.

Coding theory (English: coding theory) is a branch of mathematics (mathematics) and computer science (computer science) that deals with error-prone situations in the process of transmitting data over communication channels. noise channels), using sophisticated methods that make the majority of errors that occur can be corrected. It also deals with the characteristics of the codes (codes), and thus makes them suitable for specific applications. One of the most important scientific and technical problems at the present stage is the creation of automated control and monitoring systems for performing various tasks. In the process of automated control and monitoring, there is an intensive exchange of information between the individual parts of the systems, while the volume of information, as well as the speed of processing and transmitting it, are constantly growing. Increasingly high requirements are imposed on the reliability of transmitted messages, which leads to the need to apply special measures that reduce the frequency of errors to a certain acceptable level.

This work examines the performance of Exponential-Gamma distribution and the existing Exponetial and Gamma in relative to the distribution that will best fit the data on Covid-19 death in Nigeria from March 2020 to April 2021. The parameters of the distribution were estimated using the method of maximum likelihood estimates. The newly developed Exponential-Gamma distribution was compared with the exiting Exponential and Gamma distributions using the log-likelihood function, Akaike information criterion (AIC), and Bayesian information criterion (BIC) as the criteria for selecting the best fit model. The results show that the newly developed Exponential-Gamma distribution performed better than the existing Exponential and Gamma distributions in contrast in terms of model fit, this showed that the newly developed Exponential-Gamma distribution is more flexible and precise in analyzing the Covid-19 data other than the existing Exponential and Gamma distributions.

This study utilized the phenomenological research design which aimed to understand the lived experiences of the parents of the learners with special educational needs in distance learning at Pulo National High School- Special Education (SPED) Center. The researcher utilized the framework of Moustakas (1994) which involves bracketing, horizontalization, theme clustering, textural description, structural description, and essence. With the in-depth analysis of the significant statements from the verbatim transcriptions, nine (9) themes emerged. The parents of learners with special educational needs in the implementation of distance learning experienced challenges that include, the pros and cons of distance learning, the need for professional teachers intervention, implications on learners behavior, competing demands of being a parent and a learning facilitator and learning loss and social gaps. To be able to cope with their experiences for having children with special needs in distance learning , parents must have strong parental involvement and family support system, positive mindset, emotional stability, and strong faith as well as teachers who possessed commitment and compassion. The findings implied that experiences in distance learning of the parents of the learners with educational needs were truly challenging which entails the difficulties and opportunities of distance learning, the need to have professional experts, social and behavioral implications of distance learning to their children, different roles they played in the education of their children and the trouble of thought of the development of the students. Given the challenges that parents experienced in distance learning, the chance of overcoming the struggles is possible through the help and support of the family members, and teachers, by being optimistic, strong, and by being faithful to God.

The aim of this study is to assess the influence of virtual facilitators supervisory styles in the virtual intern contingencies, environmental contingencies, and the intern’s motivation, satisfaction and learning, particularly in the hospitality management program. In this phenomenological study, twenty students who completed their internship remotely and met with their supervisor once a week for synchronous sessions, as well as five virtual internship facilitators who all had a lot of experience with interns but none had ever had to supervise interns remotely, were interviewed one-on-one via the digital platform Zoom.

This study focused on the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the livelihood of urban refugees in Arua City, Uganda. The research design adopted in this study was qualitative interview study, underpinned on the interpretivism philosophy. Data were sourced through 10 to 15 minutes face to face in-depth interviews consisting of 12 Urban refugee homesteads registered with the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM), Arua branch. The Qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Thematic analysis is an accessible and flexible approach to qualitative data analysis, which is based on coding (Braun & Clarke, 2006). Results have shown that urban refugees have been hit hard by the COVID-19 Pandemic and will continue to face tough and difficult times in the future. Our findings should be interpreted in the context of the potential limitations of our study: Firstly, the qualitative approach provides depth to our understanding of this problem but may not be generalizable to all urban refugees in other cities. We only interviewed urban refugees in Arua city, a single metropolitan area. Further work should explore how these experiences vary across the urban refugee hosting countries. Secondly, in all qualitative studies, findings may be influenced by the perspectives of the investigators. Finally, participants provided retrospective accounts of their experiences about COVID-Pandemic, recall and social desirability bias cannot be excluded. UNHCR, Donors and the government of Uganda can use the findings of this study to develop appropriate strategies to support urban refugees in a bid to salvage their lives.
