Evaluation of secondary school geography teachers’ pedagogical practices in Southwestern Nigeria
No full textPurpose: This study was conducted to evaluate teachers’ pedagogical practices in secondary schools in southwestern Nigeria because evidence has shown that some of the objectives of the geography curriculum are hardly met. Research interest has been more on interventions, especially strategies to improve students’ learning outcomes in geography, than on the evaluation of implementation.
Research methodology: A mixed-methods design was adopted. Three states (Osun, Oyo, and Ekiti) in southwestern Nigeria were randomly selected, and the purposive sampling technique was used to select schools with a geography teacher who was willing to participate in the study.
Results: Most teachers (67.1%) deployed the lecture method, while schools (84.6%) had insufficient time to implement GC. Inadequate materials (84.1%), limited opportunities for professional development (89.4%), and insufficient allocated time (78.7%) were the major challenges associated with the implementation of GC. The pedagogical practices were good (????? = 3.40), but material resources were inadequate (????? 0.83), 3.4 against the threshold of 3.0 and 1.0, respectively.
Contribution: Teachers rarely used the field-trip approach. The teachers posited that they had inadequate resources for implementation. School administrators should ensure that geography is allotted sufficient time to the timetable.
Limitations: The observer effect may have slightly influenced the classroom activities of some teachers and students. Similarly, not all items on the rating scale could be captured extensively within the observed teaching-learning period.
Novelty: Although the goals of sustainable development place a special emphasis on healthy and prosperous lives, insufficient data on mental health have been collected, and mental health policies based on village wisdom have not become a theme that many central and regional governments have implemented
Work-life balance and employees’ commitment in plastics manufacturing firms in Anambra State, Nigeria
No full textPurpose: This study aims to determine the correlation between work-life balance and employee commitment in plastic manufacturing firms in Anambra State, Nigeria.
Research Methodology: A descriptive survey design was employed, the questionnaire was used to elucidate information from respondents while regression analysis was used to test the stated hypotheses and determine the relationships between the variables in the study.
Results:–life balance-continuance commitment had a positive but minor impact on employees' commitment, normative commitment had a substantial negative influence on employees' commitment, and affective commitment had a strong positive relationship with employees' dedication.
Limitations: This study was limited to plastic manufacturing firms in Anambra State, Nigeria. It is expected that the financial and health sectors, which are known to have stiff working conditions, should be researched to support or contradict this current finding.

Results: The findings indicate that Employees’ environmental awareness significantly influences the adoption of green HR practices, whereas the effect of environmental regulations is relatively positive. Furthermore, a company’s environmental performance was found to be positively correlated with its green HR practices.
Limitations: This was a survey-based study. Further qualitative studies should be conducted to improve the quality of results.

This will provide a more comprehensive understanding of green HR strategies, which can assist manufacturing companies in achieving enhanced environmental sustainability
The determinants of integrating women and children-friendly village programs with Anti-drug programs and Stakeholder-Based inclusive village programs
No full textPurpose: Considering the recent phenomenon, there has been an increase in the types and sources of village programs, but program implementation often needs improvement. The cause of failure is thought to be that the ministry designed and implemented the program unilaterally, running partially without stakeholder involvement. Therefore, the objectives of this research are (1) to explain stakeholder involvement and (2) to identify critical factors for the success of village program integration.
Research methodology: To the research objectives, the method used is a micro-qualitative method through social mapping as an instrument for community development models.
Results: The results obtained are research findings, which consist of (a) the village government's initiation through discussion forums succeeded in equalizing stakeholder perceptions and (b) initiation becomes a way for program integration and an arena capable of encouraging the development of program democratization.
Limitations: The research limitation is that the research area only covers one village, so the conclusions obtained are micro. The scope of the substance and area must be expanded to obtain a more comprehensive picture and more in-depth formulation of the findings.
Contribution: The research explains that program integration supports improving the socio-economic conditions of village communities, strengthening collaboration, sharing resources, responsibility, innovation, and program expansion
Implementing social security programs for employees in Bandar Lampung: Challenges and recommendations
No full textPurpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the application of the Sosial Security Program/Jaminan Hari Tua (JHT) program and the factors inhibiting the JHT program.
Research methodology: This study is a type of Normative Juridical and Empirical Juridical research. Normative jurisdictional research is carried out based on legal materials such as legal theory, legal principles, and legislation related to research. Meanwhile, empirical juridicals were conducted through interviews. A qualitative analysis was performed.
Results: The results of this research show that JHT has been implemented in accordance with Government Regulation Number 46 of 2015 concerning the Implementation of the Old Age Security Program. Article 22 states that the JHT can be withdrawn when fulfilling the requirements with a minimum participation period of 10 years. However, in reality, this has generated pros and cons because the JHT can only be cashed out at the age of 56. This can be detrimental to JHT participants who are not yet 56 years old but need to withdraw funds immediately.
Limitations: The Social Security Organizing Agency (BPJS) has an Old Age Insurance Program (JHT) that guarantees workers to receive cash when entering retirement, experiencing total disability, and death. However, despite experiencing these conditions, JHT disbursements have obstacles when disbursing money.
Contribution: Therefore, the BPJS should improve the JHT system and conduct socialization to overcome the lack of information related to JHT disbursement

Contributions: This study highlights the need for legal reforms that adapt to societal conditions. In an effort to enforce the law, as is the offense of the Contempt of Court in the National Criminal Code, which has undergone changes to suit the current situation of Indonesian society
Horn banana peel powder biocoagulants in lowering the turbidity of water
No full textPurpose: In response to contemporary global issues like pollution, global warming, and the loss of natural resources, the circular bioeconomy has been proposed. Using organic waste as a bioagulant facilitates the shift to a circular and sustainable bioeconomy. For homes that use well water that has been excavated, the concentration of chemical coagulants must be taken into consideration. The purpose of this study is to use banana peel powder as a biocoagulant to lower the turbidity level of water from a dug well.
Research methodology: The Paired Sample T-Test and the ANOVA test with Welsh correction were used to examine the average change in turbidity 0.000 <0.05 was the ? value obtained.
Results: The Post Hoc Games-Howell test findings revealed a noteworthy distinction between the treatment groups. This study concludes that the biocoagulant made of powdered banana horn can lower turbidity to a level that satisfies health standards
Analysis of the constitutional court's decision on the age limit of presidential and vice-presidential candidates in the perspective of Rechtstaat
No full textPurpose: This study aims to determine the application of the concept of obedience and application of the concept of the Rule of Law (Rechtstaat) and the concept of Trias Politica to the Constitutional Court Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 concerning the age limit for presidential and vice-presidential candidates and how the implementation and principles of individual freedom in the rule of law are implemented in Indonesia.
