This study aims at investigating students’ autonomy and attitude in learning TOEFL online which the program was organized by the Language Centre, Department of Education and Culture, West Nusa Tenggara during the pandemic Covid-19. A set of questionnaires was distributed to 134 students that came from a different geographical location in West Nusa Tenggara province, and were different in age. The participants in the present study were all who had been announced officially as the TOEFL course awardees for Mataram area. The findings indicated that albeit positive tenets on students’ autonomy and attitude. The results showed very close similarity as described by 2% difference in mean scores between students’ autonomy and attitude. The poor category results were found from students’ inability to evaluate their strength and weakness in learning autonomously and the students found it was hard to keep make correspondence immediately with teachers. This study ends with suggestions for the next TOEFL course programs

The purpose of the study was to examine the perceptions of teachers and learners on the impact of COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on rural secondary school female learners in Matobo District. The study was qualitative in nature, entrenched on interpretivist paradigm and adopted a case study design. Data was collected using open-ended questionnaire and online focus group discussions from six teachers and eighteen learners who formed three focus group discussions. The participants were purposively sampled from three schools. The study found that a few teachers were able to conduct online lessons using WhatsApp platform during COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in the selected schools though there was no consistence as teaching was not programmed and participation of female learners was low. The findings revealed that most of the parents could not afford to provide online learning resources for their children because of economic hardships. The study further established that rural female learners were at risk during COVID-19 pandemic lockdown as some of them were exposed to sexual abuse when they try to have access to smartphones and data bundles from some male adults. It was found that female learners have lost much of their learning time whilst on lockdown and many cases of pregnancy have emerged leading to dropping out of school. The study concluded that most of the rural secondary school female learners were excluded from education during lockdown due to poverty, unavailability of network or poor network coverage, lack of broadcast transmission services to enable them to access online lessons through the radio, lack of electricity, poor attendance due to lack of smartphones and data bundles, performance of all household chores including herding of cattle and lack of cooperation from some parents. The study recommended that the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education should collaborate with stakeholders to provide necessary resources to enable all learners to access online learning despite geographical location. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0721/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

This study aims to describe students' mathematics learning outcomes through online learning for the 2019/2020 academic year on the subject of flat-sided space geometry. This descriptive study was conducted at SMP Negeri 5 Paguyaman involving 28 students of class VIII as a sample selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data collection techniques in this study were tests in the form of multiple-choice questions and student response questionnaires. The results of the research that refer to the cognitive domain of the revised Bloom taxonomy by Anderson and Krathwohl show that the C1 cognitive domain is remembering, the ability of students to remember, recognize or know a concept of the material being asked in the questions given an average of 77.36% is in a good category. C2 cognitive domain is understanding; students' ability to understand the material on average 35.75% is in the poor category. C3 cognitive realm applies, on this indicator, students' ability to apply the formula to the questions given an average of 17.85% is in the poor category. C4 cognitive domain analyzes students' ability to analyze the average question is 39.70% who are in the poor category. With the average percentage of all cognitive domains, namely 45.71%, students' mathematics learning outcomes through online learning on the subject of flat-side space geometry is still in the low category, and learning using Facebook Messenger has not provided maximum results.

E-commerce implementation by businesses in developing countries are faced with substantially greater challenges than businesses in developed countries due to the unreliability of the internet connection, the poor availability of accessing it due to the poor infrastructure, the high cost of doing so, and also the low level of ICT penetration. This study explored the barriers to e-commerce adoption among SMEs in Sierra Leone and came up with solid policy implications as to how to mitigate those challenges that need to be overcome for the success of e-commerce adoption. The main purpose of the research was to identify the most challenging barriers to e-commerce adoption and in the process investigate their moderating effect of geographical location for SMEs. A survey was done to collect 442 usable questionnaires from registered SMEs owners in the capital city and three major rural districts (Bo, Kenema and Makeni) of Sierra Leone. Persons’ correlation and multiple linear regression models were used to test the hypotheses of the study. The Results of correlation analysis showed that technological, organizational and environmental barriers are statistically significant and negatively correlated with e-commerce adoption. The results further showed that technological barrier is the most challenging barrier to e-commerce adoption. Similarly, the moderating effects of geographical locations were tested using regression analysis. The key finding is that, all the predictors have a more negative effect on e-commerce adoption for rural SMEs compared with urban SMEs. Based on the results, the study concluded with making a call for the Sierra Leone authorities, policy makers, entrepreneurs, and SMEs managers to offer conducive business environment, and focus more attention to rural SMEs for expanding their e-commerce adoption capacity.

Covid-19 Pandemic is a situation which affects mostly on economic life of the households and thereby also affects the education style of the students in almost worldwide. Today the system of education shift from offline education to the online learning. The online education does not reach all the students particularly living in rural areas. Unavailability of electricity, mobile phones, laptops having internet facility, bad network connection in rural areas, poor background of BPL families etc. are the numerous issues because of which the online education will not reached the poor students in rural areas. Under this drawback a study on attitude of college students on online learning environment in rural flood affected areas of Assam has been undertaken. A total of 150 degree students at Brahmaputra Valley of Assam have been randomly collected. For the purpose of the study Lakhimpur district of Assam was purposively selected by the researcher. The analysis of the study concludes that there is a positive contact of online learning on students during Pandemic situation. But the students living rural areas are deprived from getting the benefit of online learning in the district under study.

The study has employed Mixed method to determine the problems and challenges of both public and private school teachers in utilizing online and modular learning modality. Interviews revealed that each sector has a problem in internet connectivity. Specifically, public school teachers are being challenged by the scarce resources of the students and unresponsive parents. Private school teachers are being challenged by the lack of training on the different online platforms for online teaching and learning process and assessment of learning this new normal. U- Test revealed that the challenges experienced by public and private school teachers in delivering distance learning are essentially the same. Moreover, it can be said that the type of school where a teacher works has no bearing with the challenges that he or she may encounter.

Scanning Electron

Even though many early workers had suggested the use of lower voltages to increase topographic contrast and to reduce specimen charging and beam damage, we did not usually operate in the conventional scanning electron microscope at low voltage because of the poor resolution, especially of bioligical specimens. However, the development of the “in-lens” field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) has led to marked inprovement in resolution, especially in the range of 1-5 kV, within the past year. The probe size has been cumulated to be 0.7nm in diameter at 30kV and about 3nm at 1kV. We have been trying to develop techniques to use this in-lens FESEM at low voltage (LVSEM) for direct observation of totally uncoated biological specimens and have developed the LVSEM method for the biological field.

A number of papers have appeared recently which purport to have carried out x-ray microanalysis on fully frozen hydrated samples. It is important to establish reliable criteria to be certain that a sample is in a fully hydrated state. The morphological appearance of the sample is an obvious parameter because fully hydrated samples lack the detailed structure seen in their freeze dried counterparts. The electron scattering by ice within a frozen-hydrated section and from the surface of a frozen-hydrated fracture face obscures cellular detail. (Fig. 1G and 1H.) However, the morphological appearance alone can be quite deceptive for as Figures 1E and 1F show, parts of frozen-dried samples may also have the poor morphology normally associated with fully hydrated samples. It is only when one examines the x-ray spectra that an assurance can be given that the sample is fully hydrated.

Computer synthesized vowels of 50- and 300-ms duration were presented to normal-hearing listeners at a moderate and high sound pressure level (SPL). Presentation at the high SPL resulted in poor recognition accuracy for vowels of a duration (50 ms) shorter than the latency of the acoustic stapedial reflex. Presentation level had no effect on recognition accuracy for vowels of sufficient duration (300 ms) to elicit the reflex. The poor recognition accuracy for the brief, high intensity vowels was significantly improved when the reflex was preactivated. These results demonstrate the importance of the acoustic reflex in extending the dynamic range of the auditory system for speech recognition.

Children and youth who sustain traumatic brain injury (TBI) are at risk for being unidentified or misidentified and, even if appropriately identified, are at risk of encountering professionals who are ill-equipped to address their unique needs. A comparison of the number of people in Tennessee ages 3–21 years incurring brain injury compared to the number of students ages 3–21 years being categorized and served as TBI by the Department of Education (DOE) motivated us to create this program. Identified needs addressed by the program include the following: (a) accurate identification of students with TBI; (b) training of school personnel; (c) development of linkages and training of hospital personnel; and (d) hospital-school transition intervention. Funded by Health Services and Resources Administration (HRSA) grants with support from the Tennessee DOE, Project BRAIN focuses on improving educational outcomes for students with TBI through the provision of specialized group training and ongoing education for educators, families, and health professionals who support students with TBI. The program seeks to link families, hospitals, and community health providers with school professionals such as speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to identify and address the needs of students with brain injury.
