991 | 2024 Article | Effects of eggshells and wood ashes as organic fertilizers on the growth performance of scallions (Allium fistulosum L.) F. Casinillo, Leomarich Growing scallion plants using organic farming is one of the healthy ways that reduce agrochemicals. One of the interesting problems in organic farming is the right amount of fertilizer that maximizes the growth and yield of plants. This study intended to evaluate the growth of scallions (Allium fistulosum L.) using eggshells and wood ashes as organic fertilizer. It aims to assess and determine the optimal fertilizer material combination that is compatible with the growth performance of scallions using eggshells and wood ashes. Four different treatment combinations were considered in this study as follows: T1 (consisting of 100% garden soil), T2 (consisting of 75% garden soil, 25% wood ash), T3 (consisting of 75% garden soil and 25% eggshells) and T4 (consisting of 70% garden soil, 15% wood ash, and 15% eggshells). The height and number of leaves per experimental unit were gathered as the variables of interest. A Complete Randomized Design (CRD) was employed in this study as an experime..... 174 hits |
992 | 2024 Article | Dimensions of students’ academic engagement as predictors of senior secondary school mathematics achievement Asanre, Akorede Ayoola Academic engagement has been a persistent problem and potentially more harmful to the future well-being of the educational system in Nigeria, as students show low turnout in achievement. Therefore, this study investigated behavioural, emotional and cognitive engagements as predictors of Mathematics achievement in senior secondary school. A descriptive survey research approach was used for the investigation. Sample used in the research comprised 1680 senior secondary school 2 (SS2) offering Mathematics from the twenty one randomly selected schools in the three local government areas of Ogun State's Remo division using purposive and simple random sampling technique. The instruments for the collection of data are Mathematics Student Academic Engagement Scale (MSAES) with reliability coefficient 0.776 and Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) with reliability coefficient 0.88.

993 | 2024 Article | Application of Chaos Theory in Different Fields - A Literature Review Adib Mashuri This comprehensive literature review delves into the multifaceted world of Chaos Theory and its pervasive applications across a wide spectrum of disciplines, including meteorology, economics, biology, engineering, medicine and social sciences. Chaos Theory's core principles, such as sensitivity to initial conditions and the discovery of hidden order within apparent chaos, are explored in-depth. This analysis delves into the intricate interconnections between Chaos Theory and dynamical systems, elucidating their shared objective of elucidating complex and dynamic phenomena. The research also investigates the application of the chaotic method as a problem-solving approach that acknowledges the inherent uncertainty and unpredictability of complex systems. The aforementioned approach is gaining traction in the realms of business, economics and the social sciences, despite facing criticism. The present study demonstrates the continued relevance of Chaos Theory in the contemporary era, as ev..... 227 hits |
994 | 2024 Article | Antibacterial and antioxidant activities of fruits of solanum hirtum vahl. from Venezuela Ramirez, Rubén Solanum hirtum (Solanaceae) has been used in traditional medicine to heal several illnesses, it’s worked as an antiseptic for sore throat and other diseases. The present study describes the phytochemical profiles, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties of S. hirtum fruits. The phytochemicals from the dried fruits were extracted using a maceration technique with methanol and the flash column chromatography with n-hexane, dichloromethane, and methanol was the selected means to fraction the extract. The phytochemical screening was implemented using standard chemical tests. The antibacterial and antioxidant activities were screened using the disc diffusion method, and analyzing the radical scavenging activity using 2,2´-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl (DPPH), respectively, whilst the total phenolic content was measured using the Folin-Ciocalteu method. The phytochemical analysis results revealed the presence of terpenoids, steroids, phenols, flavonoids, and alkaloids. Antibacterial activity..... 170 hits |
995 | 2009 Thesis | Kualiti pensyarah efektif terhadap pencapaian akademik pelajar di Politeknik Kuching Sarawak Ling, Ying Leh Sektor pendidikan di Malaysia kini mengalami transformasi secara besar-besaran sejak Malaysia
mencapai kemerdekaan dengan melahirkan golongan intelek dan guna tenaga yang memenuhi keperluan
dalam pelbagai bidang. Sejajar dengan penubuhan politeknik yang semakin banyak, maka isu terhadap
pensyarah efektif adalah satu keperluan penting untuk melahirkan golongan intelek dan guna tenaga
yang boleh bersaing dalam dunia pekerjaan. Pensyarah yang mengajar di politeknik harus
mempunyai kelayakan dari aspek kriteria standard pensyarah yang ditetapkan untuk memenuhi misi dan
visi institusi. Memandangkan standard-standard yang ditetapkan bagi institusi-institusi adalah
berbeza sama ada di dalam atau di luar negara, persoalannya apakah standard yang betul-betul
dapat menjamin kualiti pengajaran pensyarah di politeknik terhadap kepentingan pelajar dalam
pencapaiannya sama ada dalam kurikulum, kokurikulum ataupun perkembangan potensi pelaj..... 119 hits |
996 | 2024 Article | Systematic review of reading proficiency among preschool pupils using PRISMA Idris, Mariam Oluwatoyin The mastery of reading and writing plays a pivotal role in an individual's personal growth and is intrinsically linked to the acquisition of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills—a critical facet of a child's language development. This study conducts a systematic review of reading strategies utilized in promoting reading proficiency among preschoolers. The study meticulously explores reputable databases, including Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus for reliable research papers. The review followed PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. This search yielded a total of 63 relevant articles published between 2008 and 2022. Following an in-depth assessment, 22 articles were identified and selected as most pertinent to the study's objectives. The findings of this systematic review indicate that various reading strategy approaches, including Montessori, pedagogical, e-book, and child-centered methods, wield a positive impac..... 141 hits |
997 | 2024 Article | On the dimension of care in kindergarten: a phenomenological research Goda, Claire B. Kindergarten teachers' narratives regarding the provision of care in early childhood education serve to enlighten and engender empathy towards their experiential realities. This study aims to articulate personal care encounters but may lack comparative analysis or exploration of cultural, institutional, or socioeconomic factors, limiting broader relevance. Hence, this study examined the firsthand caring experiences of kindergarten teachers in Tomas Oppus District, Southern Leyte. It aimed to articulate their personal care encounters and identify emerging themes. Utilizing a qualitative phenomenological research design, the study was conducted in five DepEd-managed elementary schools within the district: Tomas Oppus Central School, San Isidro Elementary School, San Antonio Elementary School, Cambite Elementary School, and Hinapo Elementary School. The research employed purposive sampling techniques with specific inclusion criteria, utilizing interpretative phenomenological analysis as t..... 96 hits |
