How Teachers’ Planning Influences Pupils’ Academic Performance in Government Aided Primary Schools in Namutumba Town Council, Namutumba District in Uganda
Get PDFThis research examined the influence of teacher planning on pupils’ academic performance in government aided primary schools in Namutumba Town council, Namutumba District in Uganda.
The center of the educational system is viewed as being academic achievement. Mahmood (2015) defined academic performance as a student\u27s measurable and observable behavior during a certain time period. Relevant stakeholders, including parents, pupils, school administrators, and researchers, have shown interest in studies of how Teachers’ Planning Influences Pupils’ Academic Performance. A lesson plan is a schedule for teaching a lesson or lessons that an instructor creates based on the curriculum to achieve particular curricular goals. It results from a study ofthe scheme of work. Consequently, the lesson topics that result from breaking down the schemes of work into smaller subtopics can be utilized to create lessons (Sabetra& Aziz, 2021). Sabetra& Aziz, (2021) explains that Lesson plans are helpful because they ensure that the teacher follows proper teaching techniques, that the topic of the day\u27s lesson is covered in one lesson and that instructional materials are properly chosen and utilized.
A scheme of work divides an often-multiyear curriculum into deliverable work units that are each much shorter in length (for example, two or three weeks) hence making it manageable in delivery. The way each topic will be taught in class and how pupils\u27 understanding of the information connected to each topic, unit, and the scheme of work as a whole will be assessed are all clearly mapped out in the schemes of work beforehand. A scheme of work outlines the subject matter and educational opportunities that must be covered each term of the academic year (Okai, 2010). The instructor needs this scheme of work since it directs him in structuring the instructional unit and, in turn, the daily lessons, taking into account the amount of time allotted for each topic over the term
Impact of Enset Participation in Value Chain on Smallholder Household Food Security and Income in Southwestern Ethiopia
Get PDFGrowing demand for enset means that rural smallholder farmers have excellent potential to respond on the supply side, particularly in Southern Ethiopia. Evidence is required to determine whether or not smallholder farmers participate in these new market opportunities and whether they gain anything from doing so. This study examines the effects of smallholder farmers\u27 involvement in the Enset participation in value chain on food security and income (as determined by crop income and daily caloric intake in the Gedeo zone of Southern Ethiopia). The investigation analyzed cross-sectional data from 380 randomly chosen smallholder farmers. Impact evaluation employed the Endogenous Switching Regression (ESR) model, which takes selection bias into account. Results from the ESR demonstrate how market, institutional, socioeconomic, and demographic factors influence the decision to participate as well as the food security and income of farm households. Overall, Enset market involvement has a favorable and considerable effect on the food security and income of rural farmers, with a significant difference between groups. The improvement of household food security and income depends on policies that lower the transaction costs of accessing markets, promote trees through various media, work to build the capacity of rural institutions, encourage and support Enset associations, design appropriate support from various stakeholders, encourage market linkages among various market players, and give farmers the opportunity to enroll in basic education

An Overview of Research in the Field of Project Construction and Management
Get PDFThe success of failure of a project depends on various organizational and non organizational factors. Various stakeholders are often tasked with different roles to ensure success of a given project. The success of a project is predominantly defined by the end user satisfaction while in most cases it is defined by the number of stakeholders who affirms that most of the project requirements were addressed. Other than satisfaction of the stakeholders, managerial skills have a stake in the success of the project. A good manager is one that ensures there is flow of information between the project owners and the team players to ensure success of the project. This chapter highlights some of the risks that could jeopardize the success of a project and outlines the effective measures that would ensure a project is successfully completed. A good project is one that works within the allocated time and budget, since those are the crucial parameters used to evaluate the success of a project. The chapter reviews four foreign articles alongside ten Persian articles
Interrelation between Social Intelligence and Journalism
Get PDFThe article discusses what the social intelligence is, why it is essential to study it, and what are the objects or aspects of the social intelligence consists of, and its forms, as well as positive-impact and negative-impact factors in maturity of the social intelligence in terms of the Mongolian nomadic point of view which is the concept ‘all is one’, and of the modern theories of social sciences. In the course of the research, we have seen that the social intelligence might be the cross-disciplinary target of the social sciences, particularly of media science, media institutions such as professional broadcasting or publishing companies, and journalists, reporters and researchers that affect and shape the social intelligence, that the intelligent demand to clarify and advance the concept of the social intelligence have arisen
Combatting Multidrug Resistance in Bacteria: A Novel Approaches for Assessing Efflux Pumps
Get PDFIn order to defend themselves, bacteria contain efflux pumps that assist in evacuating harmful chemicals outside the cell. Antibiotic-active efflux is one of the main mechanisms of drug resistance in bacteria. Membrane transporters use a variety of unrelated compounds as substrates to mediate the efflux process. Because of this, the presence and activity of efflux pumps have a significant impact on the effectiveness of antibiotics, which contributes to bacteria developing drug resistance. Six samples were used in the investigation, and f; foures were found to be E. coli, while the other two were Klebsiella pneumoniae. These isolates demonstrated efflux pump-mediated multidrug resistance. Notably, these bacteria with the Integron integrase 1 gene, called resistant strains, were resistant to 25 different antibiotics. Including Aztreonam, Ampicillin/Sulbactam, Amoxyclav, Cefepime, Cefepime/Tazobactam, Ampicillin, and Cefotaxime, resistance was observed in both E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Given the complexity of drug efflux transporters, novel approaches are essential to combat multidrug resistance in bacteria effectively. A glucose-triggered rhodamine 6G (R6G) efflux assay from Sigma-Aldrich, USA, was used to test how well efflux pumps work
Leaving the Abstract for the Concrete in Written Expression in Elementary School in Benin
Get PDFThis article aims at analysing and influencing the pedagogical practices of six teachers involved in an action-research in written expression in the Elementary Course at the elementary school in Benin in order to optimize the learning capacities of the pupils. To this end, a research protocol was adopted that included a stage of identification of the problem, the establishment of an action plan, the implementation of the action, the evaluation of the effects of the action, the communication of the conclusions and the valorisation of the research. It was found that the teachers did not maximize the children\u27s learning opportunities during the "chasse aux idées" phase; they did not get the children moving; they did not praise them properly; they remained in the abstract about the themes addressed. Several decisions were taken at each stage of the progression in the realization of the sequence II in written expression (first draft), the most important of which is the concretization based on clear and expressive images and reinforced by social writing
Bridging the Gap Between Stakeholder and Software Products: A Review of Software Requirement Engineering Techniques
Get PDFEffective software requirement engineering plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between stakeholders and software products. The success of any software project heavily relies on accurately capturing, analyzing, and documenting stakeholders\u27 needs and expectations. This article provides a comprehensive review of various software requirement engineering techniques that facilitate the alignment of stakeholder requirements with software product development. Software requirements are extracted from a variety of stakeholders, but the decision of "what to develop" is a difficult one. Stakeholders\u27 lack of clarity about what they want makes requirement elicitation a difficult and vital task. It explores the significance of understanding stakeholders\u27 perspectives, discusses popular requirement engineering approaches, and highlights their strengths and limitations. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of selecting appropriate requirement engineering techniques based on the project\u27s context and offers recommendations for future research in this domain
Web 3.0 and its Potential Impact on Privacy Shifting Left in the Development Process
Get PDFThe concept of Web 3.0 as the semantic web has been around since the early 2000s, and its decentralized interpretation gained more traction when the term was coined by Ethereum’s co-founder Gavin Wood. New programming languages were identified as the first enablers of Web 3.0, but under its new interpretation, other enabling technologies were identified. The three most significant of which are Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and blockchain. IoT is both a concurrent technology and an enabler. Security and privacy-related challenges with the enabler technologies are already being identified and addressed. The privacy challenges associated with Web 3.0 as a whole are more difficult to identify due to multiple reasons, including the nascent form of the technology, the non-standardized definition of Web 3.0, and privacy (And compliance) concerns associated with decentralization. A decentralized version of the internet has the potential to evoke new, unprecedented privacy challenges, some of which may be addressed with further advances in blockchain (a key enabler). Other challenges and trends are associated with the other Web 3.0 enabler, i.e., artificial intelligence. Despite a wide variety of privacy challenges, there is a strong probability that Web 3.0 is highly likely to push privacy left in the development process. Many of the identified challenges with underlying Web 3.0 technologies can be better addressed at the early stages of the development process. Even though we have yet to see how development culture, our approach to privacy, and Web 3.0 as a tech will evolve, especially considering the myriad of new ethical concerns associated with AI, these factors may not impede privacy\u27s shift to the left in Web 3.0
Fuzzy Rule-Based System as a Method of Modeling for Estimation Quality of the Vardar River
Get PDFThe paper proposes the use of a fuzzy rule-based system to evaluate the quality of the Vardar river for irrigation purposes, based on the presence of two types of pollutants (bacteriological and chemical) and the contaminated area in the Skopje-Polog region. The input variables of the fuzzy inference system are the quantity of the pollutants detected and the percentage of the contaminated area, while the output variable is the estimated quality of the river Vardar for irrigation. The results of the system are expressed as a fuzzy set, allowing for uncertainty and vagueness in the assessment of the river water quality. The proposed method seeks to provide a more comprehensive and accurate evaluation of the Vardar river water quality for irrigation. Used data obtained from the Institute of Public Health of the Republic of North Macedonia for 2022. The paper presents a fuzzy rule-based system to estimate the levels of chemicals and bacteria in the Vardar River, which is still used for irrigation. The method employs fuzzy inference and defuzzification to generate the output. The estimated values of pollutants in the river have not been measured by either the Ministry of the Environment or any non-governmental organizations. The proposed model provides a valuable basis for simulating future concentrations of these substances in the water for the years to come, making a significant contribution to the understanding of the Vardar River\u27s water quality for irrigation purposes
