    This study investigates the impact of marginalizing religious curriculum in the public-school system on the tolerance levels among Egyptian youth. Unlike previous research associating religious instruction with radicalization, this study offers new perspectives on the detrimental effects of marginalizing religious education in fostering tolerance. It argues that a balanced religious education can prevent the radicalization of young individuals by extremist groups. The central question is whether education significantly influences the radicalization process. The argument suggests that the secularization of education has intensified interest in Islam, leading to polarization fueled by radical factions with pre-existing objectives. Using a qualitative methodology, specifically a case study design, the research conducted interviews with 57 participants from the national school background. Findings reveal that marginalizing Islamic curricula has adverse effects on promoting tolerance among youth. The study aims to provide education officials with insights into the negative consequences of marginalizing religious curricula, emphasizing the need for a nuanced approach to religious education within the broader educational framework. Recognizing and addressing these consequences can contribute to building a more tolerant and cohesive societ

    Between Clicks and Convictions: Youth Political Participation on Facebook in Indonesia and Pakistan

    Social media has emerged as a pivotal arena for youth political participation, particularly within Muslim-majority societies where access to formal civic channels is often constrained. Despite growing interest in digital political engagement, comparative research remains limited in addressing how socio-cultural and political variables mediate online participation. This study investigates how Muslim youth in Indonesia and Pakistan utilize Facebook to articulate political ideologies, engage in civic discourse, and mobilize collective action. Employing a mixed-method approach, the study draws on both quantitative and qualitative data collected through an online survey administered to 30 purposively selected respondents (15 from each country), comprising Master\u27s and PhD students active in digital political discussions. The survey incorporated both closed-ended items and open-ended questions to capture measurable patterns and nuanced perspectives. The researchers applied thematic and descriptive analyses to interpret trends and narratives emerging from the data. The findings reveal contrasting modes of engagement: Indonesian youth predominantly exhibit issue-oriented, personalized political expression, while the Pakistani youth counterparts demonstrate more ideologically aligned, affectively polarized participation linked to partisan narratives. The implication of these findings is that both policy design and theoretical models of youth political participation must account for cultural and structural specificities, as context-sensitive approaches are essential for effectively understanding and fostering civic engagement in diverse Muslim-majority societies. Media sosial telah muncul sebagai arena penting bagi partisipasi politik kaum muda, khususnya di masyarakat mayoritas Muslim, dimana akses terhadap saluran-saluran kewargaan formal seringkali terbatas. Meskipun minat terhadap keterlibatan politik digital terus meningkat, riset komparatif masih terbatas dalam mengkaji bagaimana variabel sosial, kultural, dan politik memediasi partisipasi daring. Penelitian ini menjelaskan bagaimana pemuda Muslim di Indonesia dan Pakistan memanfaatkan Facebook untuk mengartikulasikan ideologi politik, terlibat dalam diskursus kewargaan, dan memobilisasi aksi kolektif. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan mixed-method, melalui survei daring terhadap 30 responden terpilih secara purposif (masing-masing 15 dari Indonesia dan Pakistan), yang terdiri atas mahasiswa magister dan doktoral yang aktif dalam diskusi politik digital. Survei ini mencakup pertanyaan tertutup dan pertanyaan terbuka untuk menangkap pola-pola yang terukur sekaligus perspektif yang lebih mendalam. Analisis tematik dan deskriptif digunakan untuk menafsirkan tren serta narasi dari data yang telah dihimpun. Temuan menunjukkan adanya perbedaan pola partisipasi, yakni: pemuda Indonesia cenderung mengekspresikan politik secara personal dan berbasis isu, sedangkan pemuda Pakistan lebih menunjukkan keterlibatan yang terpolarisasi secara afektif dan berorientasi pada ideologi, yang terkait dengan narasi partisan. Implikasi dari temuan ini adalah bahwa baik dalam perencanaan kebijakan maupun pengembangan teoretis partisipasi politik pemuda harus mempertimbangkan kekhasan budaya dan struktur sosial, sebab hal ini sangat penting untuk memahami dan mendorong keterlibatan kewargaan di masyarakat dengan penduduk mayoritas Muslim

    This study examines the relationship between cultural values and student performance in the school setting. It addresses how cultural values shape students’ academic achievements and overall educational success. While previous research has explored the role of cultural values in education, there has been limited analysis of their direct effect on student performance in specific contexts, such as Njombe. This research implemented behaviourism theory and adopted a mixed- method case study approach. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews with 42 individuals, including students, teachers, and educational administrators from public or governmental schools in the Njombe region, southern Tanzania. The findings indicate that cultural values substantially impact student's academic success, with most participants acknowledging this influence. However, perceptions vary, revealing challenges and opportunities in integrating cultural factors into education. The insights provided by this study underscore the importance of incorporating cultural considerations into educational practices and interventions to enhance student achievement

    Physiological behavior of greenhouse-grown chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium ´’Shrek’ ´ and ´Bomber Green´) in response to the plant growth retardant B-9 and the cytokinin BAP

    ilustraciones, diagramas, fotografías, tablasEl crisantemo (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ram) representa la tercera flor de corte de importancia económica en el mercado internacional. En el presente estudio, se caracterizó la respuesta de plantas de crisantemo ‘Shrek’ y ‘Bomber Green’ y la vida de florero de tallos cortados, a la aplicación del retardante de crecimiento B-9 (daminozida) y la citoquinina (6-benciladenina, BAP). En un primer ensayo se evaluó la aplicación de B-9, con un testigo absoluto sin adición de B-9 y un testigo comercial (TC), usando 6 concentraciones diferentes aplicadas a los 28, 36, 44 y 52 días después del trasplante (DDT). En un segundo ensayo, se evaluó la aplicación de la citoquinina (CK) BAP (0, 33,3, 66,6 y 100 mg kg-1 ) suministrada a los 28, 36, 44 y 52 DDT. La respuesta a estos tratamientos fue evaluada con una cuantificación de la masa seca acumulada en órganos (raíz, tallo, hojas y flores) y cálculos de algunos parámetros de crecimiento. Se determinó el índice de clorofilas con medidor portátil SPAD-502 en hojas del estrato bajo, medio y superior. Se caracterizó también la duración en días de la vida en florero, inicio de amarillamiento y grado de amarillamiento de las hojas. La aplicación de B-9 generó una reducción en la altura de la planta. El cultivar ‘Shrek’ tuvo diferencias estadísticas (P<0,05) en la acumulación y en parámetros de crecimiento relacionados con el área foliar. La acumulación de masa seca fue mayor en tallos de los dos cultivares. Con aplicación de CK, el índice de clorofila incrementó en los estratos medio y superior, mientras que, en las hojas del estrato inferior disminuyó y se presentó amarillamiento del follaje. La mayor vida en florero se obtuvo en tallos de ‘Bomber Green’. Los factores que promueven el amarillamiento del follaje podrían estar relacionados con el material vegetal y la interacción con las condiciones ambientales a las cuales se expongan las plantas durante el crecimiento y desarrollo (Texto tomado de la fuente).The chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ram) represents the third cut flower of economic importance in the international market. The present study characterized the responses of chrysanthemum plants ‘Shrek’ and ‘Bomber Green’ to the application of the growth retardant B-9 (active ingredient daminozide), and the addition of the citokinin 6- benzyladenine (6-BAP) on the chlorophyll content and vase life of cut flower stems. The first trial evaluated the application of seven concentrations of B-9 applied at 28, 36, 44 and 52 days after transplant (DAT). A second trial evaluated the application of three concentrations of 6-BAP supplied at 28, 36, 44 and 52 DAT. Dry mass accumulation in the various plant organs (roots, stems, leaves and flowers) were evaluated along with calculation of some growth parameters. The chlorophyll index was determined with a SPAD-502 portable meter in leaves of the lower, middle, and upper third of plants. Finally, the duration in days of vase life and the onset and degree of leaf yellowing were characterized in the two cultivars. The application of B-9 caused a reduction in plant height and the cultivar ‘Shrek’ had statistical differences (P<0.05) in biomass accumulation and growth parameters related to leaf area. Dry mass gain was greater in stems of the two cultivars. With CK application the chlorophyll index increased in the middle and upper leaves, while in the leaves of the lower third had lower values and yellowing symptoms. The longest vase life was observed in flower stems of ‘Bomber Green’. The factors that promote the yellowing of the foliage could be related to plant genetics and its interaction with environmental conditions during the crop growing cycle.MaestríaMagíster en Ciencias AgrariasFisiología de Cultivo
