The current study aims to determinate the potential of Arbuscular mycorrhizae in supporting the mangrove growth, the role of Arbuscular mycorrhizae on the improvement of mangrove growth in terms of its colonization level with the mangrove roots, the mangrove ability of Arbuscular mycorrhizae in the way of supporting the rehabilitation of mangroves, and giving the recommendation to the local government related to the potential of mycorrhizal fungi in rehabilitating the degraded magrove areas living in the coastal areas of Kwandang, North Gorontalo regency. Moreover, this study used a descriptive qualitative analysis method using ex-post-facto approach. To collect the data, it used a pruposive sampling on rhizosfer and mangrove roots in order to observe the spore density, the diversity and the mycorrhizal colonization. The results of this study show that the ability of Arbuscular mycorrhizae in supporting the mangrove growth is categorized in the high level. It can be seen from the spora density. On average in research location, the number of the spores that were successfully isolated is 42 spores/ 100 grams of soil.  Arbuscular mycorrhizae has a role in the way of increasing the mangrove growth. This can be seen from the high percentage of colonization with mangrove roots whereas 57,87%.

Transformational And Transactional Leadership

Research regarding the association between emotional intelligence, leadership style and organizational culture has been inconclusive. The purpose of this study was to explore these relationships in elementary school settings. A non-experimental ex post facto research design was utilized to investigate four research hypotheses. Fifty-seven principals and 850 teachers within a large urban school district in southeast Florida were surveyed. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed positive associations between school culture and both transformational and transactional leadership, and negative associations between school culture and passive-avoidant leadership. Significant positive associations were found also between school culture and the principals' emotional intelligence after controlling for leadership style. The hierarchical linear regressions revealed significant associations between leadership style and school culture after controlling for school grade as well. The results suggest that emotional intelligence merits consideration in the development of leadership theory. Practical implications include suggestions that principals employ both transformational and transactional leadership strategies, and focus on developing their level of emotional intelligence. The associations between emotional intelligence, transformational leadership, contingent reward and school culture found in this study validate the role of the principal as the leader of school reform.

The skills and competencies exhibited by the secretarial staff in a University setting show how vast is such secretary in the art of delivery of his/her services.  A secretarial staff has been considered to be the brain box of any organisation.  They are incharge of all information emanating and disseminating from the establishment; as such the role of the secretarial staff as the custodian of information in the university cannot be over-emphasized.  The aim of the study was to determine the levels of the University secretarial staff employability skills and organizational citizenship behaviour in South-West, Nigeria.  The study adopted a descriptive research design of ex-post facto type. Two research questions were raised. The sample for the study consisted of 1,209 secretarial staff in 36 universities in South-West, Nigeria selected through stratified random sampling technique.  Three instruments were used for data collection, namely: Demographic Data Form, Graduate Employability Scale (GESS), ‘r’=0.86; Organisational Citizenship Behaviour Scale (OCBS), ‘r’=0.96. Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA) and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) were used to analyse the data at 0.05 level of significance.  The results revealed that the University secretarial staff generally possessed a high level of employability skills (50.5%) and organizational citizenship behaviour (50.8%).It was concluded that the secretarial staff generally possessed the employability skills and organisational citizenship behaviour which are needed to perform optimally in their duties. The study recommended, among others, that the secretarial staff should endeavour to seek for more knowledge to equip them with relevant employability skills that will make them to be assets to the organization. The University secretarial staff should be exposed to regular training programmes with an emphasis on how to enhance their employability skills and further improve their knowledge. Also, there is need to compensate any secretarial staff who displays the traits of organizational citizenship behavior.This will serve as motivation for other secretarial staff.

RESUMENEste trabajo pretendió utilizar el Inventario de Cociente Emocional en su versión para adolescentes EQ-i:YV, de Bar-On adaptado a la población española por investigadores de la universidad de Murcia en 2012, a una muestra de 345 alumnos de educación secundaria obligatoria (ESO) en un centro público de Zaragoza, con un alto nivel de inmigración y diversidad. Mediante un diseño correlacional “ex post facto”, se analizó la influencia que variables independientes ejercían sobre la variable dependiente número de suspensos. Igualmente se llevaron a cabo análisis de varianza y otros análisis mediante el programa SPSS versión 22 y Lisrel 8.51, encontrando que los datos son similares a los obtenidos en el trabajo original, que los varones aventajan a las mujeres en el factor estado de ánimo y adaptabilidad y que éstas aventajan a aquellos en el factor interpersonal y en rendimiento académico. Los análisis de regresión muestran que solamente los factores Interpersonal y Manejo del estrés entran en la ecuación de predicción, con correlaciones positivas pero bajas que explican poca cantidad de varianza, y que casi no hay diferencias en los factores en los cuatro cursos de la etapa, sugiriéndose una conceptualización más cercana a la teoría de los rasgos, o una interpretación más laxa en cuanto al desarrollo emocional se refiere. La conclusión final es que este constructo tal vez haya sido algo sobredimensionado y no tenga tanta relevancia en el rendimiento académico como han pretendido algunos autores.ABSTRACTThis work aimed to use the Bar-On EQ-i:YV Emotional Quotient Inventory: Young Versión, adapted to the Spanish population by researchers of the University of Murcia in 2012, to a sample of 345 students of Compulsory Secondary Education (CSE) in a public center in Zaragoza, with a high level of immigration and diversity. Through an "ex post facto" correlation design, we analyzed the influence that independent variables exerted on the dependent variable number of suspended subjects. Likewise, variance analysis, among others were carried out using the SPSS version 22 and Lisrel 8.51 program, finding that the data are similar to those obtained in the original study, that men outperform women in the factor of mood and adaptability, and that these outweigh those in the interpersonal factor and in academic achievement. Regression analysis show that only the Interpersonal and Stress Management factors enter into the prediction equation, with positive but low correlations that explain little amount of variance, and that there are almost no differences in the factors in the four courses of the this educational stage, suggesting a conceptualization closer to the theory of traits, or a more lax interpretation in terms of emotional development. The final conclusion is that this construct may have been somewhat oversized and does not have as much relevance in academic performance as some authors have claimed.

The Way

Teaching grammar has been regarded as one of the most crucial issues in the field of language. It gains its importance since it helps learners attain high level of accuracy and proficiency in language learning processes. During these processes, the way of teaching grammar differs under some certain circumstances and is divided into some sub-categories such as conscious grammar teaching and subconscious grammar teaching. In this study, a literature review of issues on the role of consciousness and sub-consciousness in teaching of grammar has been widely discussed since there are numerous views, claims and approaches related to choosing one of them as an ideal way to teach grammar. Both of them have a significant impact on the knowledge of grammar .The study revealed that neither conscious grammar teaching which lays emphasis on the structures and rules of a language nor subconscious grammar teaching without attention to explicit knowledge of grammar should be neglected.

AbstractStudies in India from the early to late 1990s found that rural youths and women played a predominant role in livestock farming. Even though many studies differ in the extent and nature of the contribution of youths and women in livestock farming, all acknowledge their roles and contribution. Livestock farming acts as a source of supplementary income to youths and women and provides increased nutritional security. New economic policies of the1990s have brought changes to the livestock farming community. This paper attempts to understand and describe the role of women and youths in livestock farming. The research methodology employed for the present study is ex post facto design, and includes semi-structured open-ended interviews, observation and conversations with key informants. The study has found that a change in the roles of women and the participation of youths in livestock farming has occurred, which could be detrimental to the well-being of rural family farmers.

In the framework of continuous improvement of university education, the corresponding bodies are attentive to the good practices detached by the agents that comprise them. In this study, gamification in the mathematics learning process is described from the perspective of 286 students identified by non-probabilistic intentional sampling. Under these arguments, the methodology of the study is non-experimental, descriptive ex-post-facto level; the data for the analysis were collected in two stages: first moment in an instantaneous way to be able to perceive directly the gamification in the learning of mathematics through the Mentimenter tool; in second moment, the questionnaire was applied with 33 items composed of three dimensions: dynamics, mechanics and component from the contributions of Kevin Werbach. The results attributed to the study show that gamification, from the student's perspective, is a dynamic tool for the learning of previous concepts of Basic Mathematics and Mathematical Complements in the first academic semesters; in addition, the teacher plays the role of facilitator and the student responsibly manages his space and learning environment.

The Relationship

En nuestros días, la existencia de recursos sobre dramatización como herramienta educativa es escasa. De este modo, el presente trabajo permite identificar el grado de conocimiento sobre el concepto de dramatización en el alumnado de Educación Secundaria, además de la relación teatro-vida cotidiana y la percepción que tiene este alumnado acerca del uso de la dramatización como recurso didáctico en el área de Lengua y Literatura. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio ex post-facto de carácter transversal mediante un cuestionario ad-hoc de 21 ítems, sobre una muestra de 88 alumnos de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria. A la luz de los resultados obtenidos, hemos observado que los discentes tienen un alto grado de conocimiento en cuanto al concepto de dramatización, así como también una elevada percepción de esta como  recurso didáctico en el aula. Sin embargo, la vinculación de las actividades dramáticas con la vida diaria del alumnado es bastante deficiente. Por tanto, promover la realización de este tipo de actividades en el aula favorecería la participación en ellas. ABSTRACT:At present, there are not many resources that would help us to use drama as an educational tool. Thus, this paper examines how aware secondary school students are of the drama concept, the relationship between theatre and everyday life as well as the perception of the use of drama as a teaching resource in the area of language and literature. With this purpose some research has been carried out. The procedure includes an ex post-facto transverse character test through a questionnaire ad-hoc consisting of 21 items. 88 compulsory secondary education students have participated in the survey. In the results, we have observed that the learners have a high level of knowledge regarding the concept of drama, as well as a high perception of this as a teaching resource in the classroom. However, the link of dramatic activities with the daily life of students seems quite poor. As a conclusion, motivating the practice of this type of activities in class would encourage them to take part in these types of activities.
