In Parliament, problem-solving argumentation calls for several thresholds of proof. This chapter presents the Rhetoric of Parliamentary. The role of such rhetoric is to articulate political motives and legitimize political action. This therefore calls for a review of language use as a concrete display of power: securing political power, challenging it, competing for it, or defending and consolidating it. In socio-historical periods marked by significant paradigm shifts and political polarizations, parliaments have played a decisive role in benchmarking current societal issues and exposing party-political agendas by debating the pros and cons of alternative political solutions. The chapter with the use of critical discourse analysis (CDA) reveals forms of power inherent in this discourse. CDA as a theoretical framework insists that there is no language that is neutral. Thus, CDA unravels unequal power relations, ideological inclinations and hegemony parliamentary discourse of this chapter.

The Impact

The article examines the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Africa and the involvement of China and India in the fight against COVID-19 and its negative consequences for Africans health and the African economy. The authors analyze various aspects of China’s and India’s interaction with African countries and estimate pros and cons of Chinese - African and Indian - African cooperation and their results for African countries. Cooperation with the two growing Asian countries - China and India - played an important role in economic growth of Africa in 2000s. The COVID-19 pandemic has damaged not only the health of the African population, but also the African economy. The deterioration of the economic situation in African countries has resulted in a sharp increase in impoverishment for the population. In 2020 Africa has lost its modest achievements in reducing extreme poverty which it could succeed before. In context of the current pneumonia crisis on the continent international assistance is becoming increasingly relevant for Africa. The most important element of this assistance is the time-tested cooperation with China and India. However, despite the real achievements of China and India and the promises made by the leaders of both countries, the coronavirus pandemic has clearly identified problems in the relations of African countries, both with China and with India.  These problems are the result of objective and subjective factors, as well as the legacy of accumulated problems over the years, which the pandemic has further exacerbated. Africans welcome economic cooperation with Asian powers. However, India's increasing willingness to engage with Western countries on an anti-Chinese basis increases the risks of using it in Africa, to confront Beijing.

Instructions are given for breaking down large tasks into smaller, more manageable chunks to increase the likelihood of task completion.

Interventions based on problem-solving principles have been found to be effective therapies for a variety of clinical disorders and across various age groups. Informal caregivers of patients with cancer, including spouses, partners, family members, and friends, provide essential support and care throughout the cancer experience. Because these caregivers potentially experience significant emotional difficulties, these therapeutic approaches can serve to mitigate such negative consequences. This chapter provides a description of problem-solving therapy interventions for both cancer patients and their caregivers, as well as the underlying rationale for why such approaches are appropriate for these individuals. In addition to providing a brief summary of the relevant research, also included is an overview of specific clinical guidelines.

A school should follow ‘learning methodology’ (like activity based learning, active learning methodology, etc.), the examination is built within the learning process, which means that there is no separate exam. Students do selfevaluation, projects, etc. while they are learning the content. Here examination is done on the basis of students’ learning. Exams are necessary in schools to find out the real skills, talents and knowledge of the students. But practically this is not done therefore the researcher felt the need to conduct a study to formulate a question paper which measures and values the student’s IQ,EQ,SQ and Skills Developed in the students and researcher wanted to identify the pros and cons of board examination, the understand the psychology of students and various challenges encountered in conducting the board exams. The researcher used SPSS package to analyse the questionnaire and used certain statistical tools such Frequency Analysis, ANOVA , Regression, Factor Analysis etc. to find out that board examination does not inculcate reasoning ability in the minds of the students neither it makes the students to learn with understanding. and it does not test their general knowledge. Board Examination at the same time with few negativity induces problem solving technique and develops social skills though verbal ability and speed of logical reasoning is not tested through questions. Therefore the researcher advises to revise the pattern of exam giving students a stress free environment, carrying general knowledge and logical ability.

Problem-based learning has become a popular pedagogical strategy for teaching problem-solving skills as well as subject content. However, implementation of this strategy is time-consuming. Use of the Internet and computer software could aide the creation, use, and maintenance of these teaching tools, encouraging more educators to use them. This study focused on 45 Iowa State University students enrolled in Horticulture 342, Landscape Installation and Maintenance. Students were assigned a series of four online, ill-structured case study problems based in a realistic residential landscape. Results indicated students understood the need for developing problem-solving skills, especially as they relate to future employment opportunities. However, students were concerned with obtaining the right answer, not with developing a strategy for solving problems. Students rated the statement about determining the best solution highest in importance (4.75 in 2007, 4.90 in 2008). Conversely, they rated a statement about determining what standards and judgment criteria should be used to evaluate possible solutions of least importance (3.75 in 2007, 4.20 in 2008). Students identified the value of the solution to the customer/client (4.63 in 2007, 4.80 in 2008), how well the cause of the problem was addressed by the solution (4.46 in 2007, 4.30 in 2008), and any potential negative consequences (4.33 in 2007, 4.40 in 2008) as the important factors that influence decision-making on the job. Students rated the online learning environment as adequate and they rated the overall experience as 3.94. Frustrations were primarily technical, including problems connecting to the system. Students liked the variety of resources available and that case information was consolidated in a single location.
