Abstract: This study assessed the sufficiency, utilization of instructional materials, and academic performance of Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan (EPP) 6 learners in all public elementary school of the Division of Carcar City, Carcar City, Cebu for the school year 2017-2018. The descriptive method of research was utilized, using the adapted survey questionnaire. The technique used was descriptive survey to the teachers’ respondents. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and pearson product moment correlation coefficient. The study revealed that in the level of sufficiency of instructional materials were found less sufficient. Concerning the extent of utilization of instructional materials, only the teaching aids were utilized and other were least utilized. On the other hand, the academic performance of EPP 6 learners were found out that of the 33 schools, only three (3) schools performed satisfactory. It was also found out that there was a significant relationship between the level of sufficiency of instructional materials and the extent of utilization of instructional materials. It was also discovered that there was only one (1) variable has no significant relationship between the extent of utilization of instructional materials and academic performance of EPP 6 learners while the other three (3) variables has significant relationship between the extent of utilization of instructional materials and academic performance of EPP 6 learners . It further revealed that there was significant relationship between the level of sufficiency of instructional materials and academic performance of EPP 6 learners.

Abstract: This paper endeavours to critically examine the different ways in which policymakers can effectively tackle wicked problems. It explains the best possible strategies when resolving policy crisis – stating the nature, scope and meaning of crisis.  The piece demonstrates the characteristics of wicked problems and crisis. It profoundly presents the complexity of crisis and such problems by referring the policy areas of climate change and poverty. The objective of the paper is to suggests that wicked problems and crisis have no quick fix as stakeholders have different understanding of the problem definition as well as its solutions. Therefore, to tackle such a problem and crisis in which its causes and effects are unknown – policymakers need to effectively address the nature of the problems. By doing so policymakers need to engage different stakeholders on a long-term focus, which is outside of the box thinking.

Abstract: Field experiment was carried out during the dry season of 2018 at Federal College of Forestry demonstration farm, Jos, Plateau State, and Irrigation Research Stations of Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR) Kadawa sub-station. The treatments consisted of three maize cultivars (SAMMAZ-18, SAMMAZ-29 and SAMMAZ 40) and three Irrigation Intervals (G = irrigation at all growth, T = except at tasselling and S = except at silking) the treatments were laid out in a split plot design with the variety allocated to the main plot and deficit irrigation to the sub plots and were replicated three times. The result revealed that irrigation at all growth and withdrawing at silking resulted in highest growth, yield attributes and grain yield, a no significant response to deficit irrigation was observed on some yield characters across both locations. It can be recommended that, irrigation at all growth stage or withdrawing irrigation at silking with planting of SAMMAZ – 40 for optimum production of maize under the study areas.

Abstract: This research was aimed at examining effect of students’ exposure to biology practicals on performance in public secondary schools in Lugari Sub County, Kakamega County, Kenya. The specific hypotheses were Students’ exposure to biology practicals does not significantly affect performance in public secondary schools, Presence of laboratory does not significantly intervene the effect of students’ exposure to biology practicals on performance in public secondary schools and number of biology teachers does not significantly moderates the effect of students’ exposure to biology practicals on performance in public secondary schools in Lugari Sub County, Kakamega County, Kenya. It was a survey study that made use of the sample of 13 secondary schools in Lugari Sub County using simple random sampling. Data was collected from four students of the sampled schools. Data were obtained using the primary method of the questionnaire of data collection. Secondary data was obtained from Kenya National Examination Council Database as well as individual schools records in regard to number of biology teachers and functional laboratories.  From the result, it was found that student exposure to practical biology has a positive effect on performance of biology subject. However, currently, student exposure to biology practicals currently contributes up to 9.5% changes in biology performance. Presence of laboratory significantly improved the contribution of students’ exposure to biology practicals from 9.5% to 12.1%. Further, the moderating effects of number of biology teachers strengthen the effect of students’ exposure to biology practicals as the contribution moved from 9.5% to 52.6%.  The study recommended that government should construct and equip laboratories while principals should provide biology teachers with fund for consumables. The curriculum planners can moderate the time allocated to certain tasks. School administrators should endeavour to create a work strategy that will ease teacher workload to give them time for lesson preparation for practical activities. Experienced teachers should be used as resource for training other teachers. Finally, the Government, through the Teacher service commission should employ more biology teachers while Board of Management should employee more teachers to ease burden exerted on TSC teachers

Abstract: A study was conducted to determine the effect of substituting soyabean meal with fluted pumpkin seed cake on carcass parameters  of hybrid catfish (Heteroclarias) fed five iso-nitrogenous (40% CP) diets at varying inclusion levels of Telfairia occidentalis (fluted pumpkin) seed cake (FPS). Five diets in triplicate was compounded with same ingredients; fish meal, yellow maize, vitamin /mineral premix, vegetable oil, and starch with varying inclusion levels of Telfairia occidentalis (fluted pumpkin) seed cake and soya bean meal (SBM). Diets was designated as D1 (FPC 0% - SBM 100%), D2 (FPC 25% - SBM 75%), D3 (FPC 50% - SBM 50%), D4 (FPC 75% - SBM 25%), D5 (FPC 100% - SBM 0%). The proximate analyses of experimental feeds and fluted pumpkin seed cake were carried out to show any variation present in all parameters. One hundred and twenty Heteroclarias fingerlings (mean weight 4.26±0.26 g) were reared in concrete tanks of 2m×2m size. Fish were fed at 5% of their body weight for a period of 90 days and some samples were slaughtered in each treatments and the head, flesh and wastes were also weight to know the weight gain, proximate analysis 0f the fish was also carried out. Culture water was monitored and changed every two days while quality parameters (temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH) was measured fortnightly using standard methods.

Abstract: Due to the pandemic of Coronavirus disease, many medical workers like doctors, nurses, and others working in a risky place were infected. The safety and working conditions of those people were not safe enough to prevent them. Moreover, there were also problems about lack of preventative equipment and many healthcare workers experienced stress and pressure while working. As a result of this global pandemic, plenty of technologies were developed to help deal with the problem. This research reviewed healthcare technologies which can be utilized to prevent and control the spread of COVID-19 and can also be used to lower other problems faced by healthcare workers as well. I selected the technologies based on the efficiency proven by particular countries using them and analysed whether they can be adopted in Thailand to reduce those problems. Using technologies can boost up the safety environment in hospitals, prevent the spread of disease, reduce the number of infected workers and also provide better duty of care for patients. The stress and working time of medical professionals also decreased.
