This article highlight the result of needs assessment studies that evaluates a sustainability based technological approach on combating the crises between cow herders and agricultural farmers, by the use of a monitoring system which involves dual modules technology. Dual modules implies a design that comprises of an off shelf GPS (global positioning system) and GSM (global system for mobile communication) receiver modules. The low cost GPS and GSM modules were chosen for this design due to the inbuilt integrated antenna found in the modules and the output GPS positional data with an enabled standard serial National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) protocol as well as a standard AT command use in GSM technology. At any moment a quarry in form of a code (@C1) is texted to the SIM number embedded in the SIM card slot of the GSM module, a corresponding response indicating the exact location of the cow in longitude and latitude is transmitted via SMS to the owner’s mobile phone number which was initially programmed (configured) into the microcontroller firmware. The GSM module provided with SIM card uses the same communication protocol and processes of a regular day to day mobile phone technology. The system is configured to be attached on the neck of the animal for easy monitoring and tracking as far as 200m from its exact position at any given time. The article revealed that major herders and farmers issues will be minimize once the movement of domestic animals are monitored to avoid the destruction of lives, farmland and properties. This research provide insight into major community concerns and the Nigerian nation at large.
This study conducted to determine (1) the Relationship of Interpersonal Intelligence and Emotional Intelligence with OCB for MTs Teachers in Banjarmasin downtown. The results showed that (1) there was a relationship between the level of Interpersonal Intelligence Banjarmasin City. (2) there was no relationship between the level of emotional intelligence with the OCB of Banjarmasin City. This study Recommended (1) Because there is a relationship between Interpersonal intelligence in Banjarmasin, in the teaching and learning process in the school the teacher is responsible for the work and work environment to overcome various problems experienced when carrying out tasks so that it has a creative and dynamic nature. (2) Research shows that emotional intelligence is closely related to personality, behavior, and teacher character does not affect the teacher’s OCB because each teacher should have the internal abilities to do vertical or horizontal relationships.
Habits of mind are important things to be equipped to prospective teachers. In order to be able to solve every problem they face, prospective teachers should be used to have self-regulation, critical thinking, and creative thinking. Therefore, to achieve these objectives, appropriate learning experience and strategies are needed. In this article, an entrepreneurship-oriented 5E (Engagement, Explain, Exploration, Elaboration, and Evaluation) inquiry learning program is developed, it is also called 5E+e. The focus of this article is to investigate the improvement of prospective teachers’ Habits of Mind during horticulture course through the 5E+e inquiry learning program. The quasy experiment method was used in this study with one group pretest-posttest design with the involvement of 31 Biology Education students in one teachers Institution in Central Java on their sixth semester who took the horticulture course. Data were collected using questionnaires and observation sheets in the form of a Habits of Mind rubric adapted from the Marzano’s framework. Data were then analyzed in quantitative and in qualitative descriptive manner from various sources, so as to obtain comprehensive conclusions. Research results show an improvement on the average Habits of Mind score of prospective teachers, where the average score collected before the program was given was at 2.68; and the average score after being given the program was at 3.34 of 4.00 scale. The calculated N-gain is 0.31; which is in the moderate category. The data were supported by the results of observations during the learning process which at each stage shows progress, i.e. stage I (3.11), stage II (3.08), stage III (3.39), and stage IV (3.59). Based on the findings, students can cultivate horticultural crops creatively with a variety of planting techniques, critical when observing plant growth and development, and diligent in maintaining a successful crop cultivation project. Thus, it can be concluded that 5E+e inquiry learning program implemented in horticultural course can greatly improve the Habits of Mind of prospective teachers.
The present study aimed at investigating the effect of brain-based learning (BBL) on developing some EFL speaking skills of secondary school students. The quasi-experimental design was adopted. An experimental group and a control group, of 25 students each were drawn randomly from Gamal Abdel Nasser secondary school for Girls in Zagazig, Egypt. The instrument of the study was an EFL speaking test. A selected group of BBL strategies was utilized to improve the speaking skills of the experimental group students for seven weeks. The students of the control group received regular instruction. By the end of the experimentation, the speaking test was administered to the experimental and control groups. The scores of the experimental group, control group, preand post-scores of the experimental group were analyzed. The results of the study indicated that 1-The experimental group surpassed the control in the post administrations of the EFL speaking test, 2The experimental group showed a significant improvement in the post administrations of the speaking test than in the pre-administrations. Therefore, it could be concluded that brain-based learning had facilitated and accelerated the development of EFL speaking skills of secondary school students.
In recent years, several researches indicated that impact of managers’ skills on profit quality. Theoretically, managers’ abilities have the direct impact on profit quality, but the consequences are not same. Based on results of research, managers’ skills can have a direct or indirect link to profit quality. This assay will show a connection between managers’ abilities and the managing of profit quality in Companies listed on the stock exchange in Tehran. The criterion of real profit management, which is identified as three factors, unusual operational cash flow, unusual production costs and Abnormal Optional Expenses which is the ability of managers are part of the company’s performance which is not affected by the substantial factors of the company. By reaching the results of research, through operating cash flows, there is no a valid connection between managers’ ability and managing real profit, therefore a Significant negative relationship between managers’ abilities and managing real profit through cost of abnormal production plus a significant negative relationships between managers’ abilities and managing real profit through abnormal Optional Expenses have been investigated through the research. These finds can be useful for all managers, Participants in the securities market, policymakers and Regulators of the capital market.
