The Impact

Poultry diseases are responsible for majority of losses in livestock production leading to constraints in the development and enhancement of viable livestock production systems in Nigeria. The impact of these diseases is severe in rural areas. This study evaluated the importance of ethno-veterinary practices on food sustainability. The research design was survey method and sample size was determined using Taro Yamane formula from a population size of 100 (50 each) from both Local Government Areas. A structured questionnaire was administered to 80 persons (respondents) from the two local government areas (Abeokuta south and Odeda) in Ogun State, Nigeria. The result indicated that respondent were male (85%) and female (15%) with the male being the dominant and the respondents' shows high level of literacy. The result revealed that common diseases of broiler birds are coccidiosis (45%), Newcastle (18%), fowl cholera (8%) and others (25%). The poultry farmers make use of veterinary services has a therapy for poultry diseases with very few involved in both veterinary and herbal practice. Among the local herbs used were Moringa leaf, Christmas melon, basil, bitter leaf etc. However, farmers believed that the use of herbs causes poor growth, weight loss while the use of inappropriate dosage leads to death of birds which in turn will alter the level of poultry production.     Les maladies de la volaille sont responsables de la majorité des pertes d'élevage entraînant des contraintes dans le développement et l'amélioration de systèmes d'élevage viables au Nigéria. L'impact de ces maladies est grave dans les zones rurales. Cette étude a évalué l'importance des pratiques ethno-vétérinaires sur la durabilité alimentaire. La conception de la recherche était méthode d'enquête et la taille de l'échantillon a été déterminée à l'aide de la formule Taro Yamane à partir d'une taille de population de 100 (50 chacun) des deux zones d'administrations locales. Un questionnaire structuré a été administré à 80 personnes (répondants) des deux zones gouvernementales locales (le sud d'Abeokuta et Odeda) dans l'État d'Ogun, au Nigéria. Le résultat indique que le répondant était un homme (85 %) et les  femmes (15%) ; l'homme étant le dominant et celui des répondants montre un niveau élevé d'alphabétisation. Le résultat a révélé que les maladies courantes des oiseaux de chair sont la coccidiose (45 %), Newcastle (18 %), le choléra aviaire (8 %) et d'autres (25 %). Les éleveurs de volailles font usage des services vétérinaires avec un peu de gens qui se trouve dans la pratique vétérinaire ayant à base, des herbes locales. Parmi les herbes locales utilisées se trouvaient la feuille de Moringa, le melon de Noël, le basilic, la feuille amère, etc. Cependant, les agriculteurs croyaient que l'utilisation d'herbes provoque une faible croissance, la perte de poids tandis que l'utilisation d'une dose inappropriée conduit à la mort des oiseaux qui à son tour va modifier le niveau de production avicole.

Due to Covid-19 pandemic, schools, particularly in the rural areas employed Modular Distance Learning (MDL) to ensure education continuity. This study seeks to investigate the effects of MDL in the academic performance of learners whether there is a significant difference in their performance before and after the implementation of MDL. Mixed method was applied in this study; Quantitative using T-Test to compare the GWA of learners and Qualitative through the use of semi-structured interview to find out the perceived effect of MDL to 15 parents, 10 learners, and 7 teachers and their recommendations. The study revealed that the 2.25% decrease in the GWA of learners after the implementation of MDL denotes a significant difference in their academic performance. MDL strengthens family bonding, independent learning, and is cost-effective. However, it is an additional workload to working parents, there is limited teacher-learner interaction, learners lack socialization with other children and have no exposure to significant school activities but are rather exposed to many distractions at home. To bridge the gaps, simplifying of modules accompanied by video lessons and audio recordings, conduct of online mediations, neighborhood instruction and home visitations are recommended. The results of this study will help teachers reflect on their current teaching strategies and improve learning outcomes. Future researchers who will conduct research related to Modular Distance Learning may also consider the findings of this study in drafting their related concepts.

Children Of Migrant Workers

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compare loneliness between the left-behind children of migrant workers and the non-left-behind ones, and identify the most significant predictors of loneliness among the left-behind children. Design/methodology/approach Incidental sampling was performed to select 629 participants aged 11–16 from 5 schools in the rural areas of Karawang and Lombok in Indonesia. They filled in paper-and-pencil self-report inventories. Findings Left-behind children were significantly lonelier than their counterparts were. Emotional loneliness was more affected by parental absence compared to social loneliness. Left-behind children would be more susceptible to experience loneliness if they had more access to entertainment gadgets, experienced less support and intimacy from friends, had been left by their migrant parents more than once, were female, had low self-esteem, experienced emotional difficulties and rarely communicated with their parents. Research limitations/implications Qualitative research was needed to provide more elaborative explanation about the findings. Practical implications Parents needed to consider the psychological cost and benefit of working abroad to their children. Governments could intervene by limiting the duration and frequency of work among the migrant workers. Social implications Some beneficial implications to prevent and reduce loneliness among left-behind children were provided, such as by maintaining the frequency and quality of communication with the children, motivating and guiding the children to interact with their peers and spend less time on entertainment gadgets, as well as encouraging the children to engage in several positive activities to enhance their self-esteem. Originality/value This study enriched the understanding about complex relationship between parental presence and adolescents’ mental health despite the fact that adolescents seemed to be more interested in relationships with peers.

Identification Strategy

The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) has been criticized for encouraging schools to neglect students whose performance exceeds the proficiency threshold or lies so far below it that there is no reasonable prospect of closing the gap during the current year. We examine this hypothesis using longitudinal data from 2002–03 through 2005–06. Our identification strategy relies on the fact that as NCLB was phased in, states had some latitude in designating which grades were to count for purposes of a school making adequate yearly progress. We compare the mathematics achievement distribution in a grade before and after it became a high-stakes grade. We find in general no evidence that gains were concentrated on students near the proficiency standard at the expense of students scoring much lower, though there are inconsistent signs of a trade-off with students at the upper end of the distribution.

The Impact

Considering the urgency of integrating technologies in the contemporary classrooms, the aim of the presented study has been shaped to outline the impact of inquiry-based English language teaching through digital applications on primary learners’ reading comprehension and autonomy development during a pandemic outbreak of COVID-19. The research context has been designed in a quantitative manner to analyze experiment results and compare control and treatment group learners’ reading comprehension and academic achievement levels as well as to measure primary schoolchildren’s level of autonomy before and after the treatment. The subjects’ autonomy level, curiosity and interest in reading through digital applications before and after the experiment have been evaluated through pre and post-experimental questionnaires. Learning processes of two experimental and two control groups were compared to create four research contexts for the study. Discrepancy between inquiry-based teaching through a digital library and a traditional way of teaching reading has been emphasized in the study results. The obtained data has been analyzed using SPSS to compare the academic performance results. The study revealed that inquiry-based English language teaching through digital applications highly enhanced the primary learners’ academic performance in reading and increased their motivation level to study independently.
