Water Borne Diseases And Rural Development In Sudan Study Of Malaria In Gezira Irrigated Agricultural Scheme, Professor Issam A.W. Mohamed
Professor Issam A.W. Mohamed
Gezira irrigated scheme is globally one of the biggest agricultural productive units administratively managed. It has seen deteriorating productivity for the past two decades. There cries that it should be privatized. That was seriously taken by the government in an economic liquidation of its assets. However, in this study we discuss analyze other aspects than the previously mentioned aspects of production parameters. We focus of health economics and how gradual negligence led to the prevalence of waterborne diseases. That degenerated farmers' abilities to produce. The present study was carried out in the Gezira scheme to measure the impact of water …

Integrated Teacher Evaluation Model (Item): A Lift To Instructional Improvement And Quality Education In Nigeria, Prof Ada Sam Omenyi, Ngozi Agu, Christy Odimegwu
Integrated Teacher Evaluation Model (Item): A Lift To Instructional Improvement And Quality Education In Nigeria, Prof Ada Sam Omenyi, Ngozi Agu, Christy Odimegwu
Prof Ada Sam Omenyi
It is has been one of the nation‟s greatest challenges to provide quality education for the populace being that she has taken education to be an instrument for national development. Having acknowledged that teachers are at the heart of education system, it is paramount that teacher quality is assured through effective evaluation. Teacher evaluation has been under some worrisome trend for a long time now. The annual ritual evaluation involving external supervisors‟ and principals‟ observations and ratings do not appear to address the problem of sieving the wheat from the chaff, a action necessary to lift education from its current …

Clive Palmer
Chapters and proceedings from an international conference on Aesthetics held at Liverpool Hope University 5th–8th June 2007. This was a wide-ranging inter-disciplinary conference which encouraged submissions from three general strands of study including; those subjects which have enjoyed a substantial history of involvement in the field such as Theology and Philosophy, those relatively new to the study such as Sports Studies and Management, and those which focus upon such applied dimensions as the Arts and Education. The overall aim of the conference was to learn from interdisciplinary debate and to encourage an exchange of ideas on research of the highest …

Graduates’ Employability Skills For Today’S Workplace: A Groundwork For Assessment, Prof Ada Sam Omenyi, Ngozi Agu, Christy Odimegwu
Prof Ada Sam Omenyi
Many scholars, economists, researchers and experts have admitted that global competition and rapid technological advances have changed intensely and will continue to drastically transform the nature and content of the world of work, along with the skills required to get the job done. To meet this challenge, it is necessary to determine the critical workplace competencies which have been variously defined as employability skills, and to ensure that they are integrated and infused in tertiary school curriculum. However a review of literature across scholars and nations who have been pursuing this topic shows different lists of these employability skills. The …
The Standardization Of Scientific Terminology And The Teaching Of The Natural Sciences In Nineteenth-Century Brazil: The Contribution Of Benjamin Ramiz Galvão [A Padronização Da Terminologia Científica E O Ensino Das Ciências Naturais No Brasil Oitocentista: A Contribuição De Benjamin Ramiz Galvão], Karl M. Lorenz
Karl M Lorenz
During the nineteenth century, and the first years of the twentieth century, science textbooks and science teaching in the faculties of medicine and engineering and in the secondary schools of Brazil were characterized by the lack of a standardized scientific terminology. The rules governing the orthography and prosody of many scientific terms in the life, physical and earth sciences were inconsistent. The paper examines this phenomenon and recounts the first significant attempt to standardize scientific terminology in the Portuguese language by the Brazilian philologist, Benjamin Franklin Ramiz Galvão.
Durante o século XIX e os primeiros anos do século XX os …

Each person’s voice is different. Thus, the Quran sound, which had been recited by most of recitors will probably tend to differ a lot from one person to another. Although those Quranic sentence were particularly taken from the same verse, but the way of the sentence in Al-Quran been recited or delivered may be different. It may produce the difference sounds for the different recitors. Those same combinations of letters may be pronounced differently due to the use of harakates. This paper seeks to provide a comprehensive review of Quran Arabic verse recitation recognition focusing on the techniques used, the …
Language And Graffiti Of Exceptional Individuals In West Africa, Dr Williams Emeka Obiozor
Language And Graffiti Of Exceptional Individuals In West Africa, Dr Williams Emeka Obiozor
Dr Williams Emeka Obiozor
This paper establishes the place of language and graffiti practiced by exceptional individuals in the interpretation of family values, the preservation of culture and traditional heritage of the Igbo community in Southeastern Nigeria. The paper also takes a cursory look at graffiti art and exceptionality in a time when the Igbo tradition and culture were highly respected, jealously guarded and deep-rooted in the heart and soul of its people. Graffiti creations by exceptional individuals transfer both oral and visual education to documented tradition; for societal knowledge and awareness, individual wisdom, expressions against repression, pride and recognition of Igbo language and …
Schooling And The “Hygienization” Of Less-Privileged Children In Brazil, 1870-1900, Karl M. Lorenz, Ariclê Vechia, António G. Ferreira
Schooling And The “Hygienization” Of Less-Privileged Children In Brazil, 1870-1900, Karl M. Lorenz, Ariclê Vechia, António G. Ferreira
Karl M Lorenz
The movement to broaden educational opportunities for the large number of urban and rural children was widely supported by influential groups within Brazilian society in the late 1800s. These proponents sought to articulate a theory of education that would guide them in their efforts. Several phenomena interacted towards the end of the century to influence Brazilians in this regard. Among these were the prevalence of disease and pestilence, the unhealthy conditions of urban centers, inadequate public and private schools, and a growing propensity to entertain racist themes. This paper explores how these phenomena contributed to a view that the intellectual, …
Gifted University Students: Last Chance To ‘Come Out Of The Closet', Rozz Albon, Tony Jewels
Gifted University Students: Last Chance To ‘Come Out Of The Closet', Rozz Albon, Tony Jewels
Rozz Albon
If, as some people believe, university teaching is all about allowing or enabling students to attain their full potential, rather than merely creating more ‘bricks in the wall’, gifted students provide a particularly thorny problem for teaching academics in the contemporary university environment. Many gifted students, by the time they reach university, have long since established, in their attempts to ‘fit in’, how to hide their special talents. A university environment may well be the final formal opportunity for gifted students to be accepted as such, and most importantly, for them to take better advantage of these capabilities in their …
O Positivismo No Ensino De Ciências Naturais Na Escola Secundária Brasileira: 1890-1900 [Positivism And The Teaching Of The Natural Sciences In The Brazilian Secondary School: 1890-1900], Karl M. Lorenz
Karl M Lorenz
O trabalho analisa a influência do Positivismo no ensino de ciências no Ginásio Nacional, antigo Colégio de Pedro II, fundado em 1837 no Rio de Janeiro, como modelo para as instituições secundárias em todo o país. Com a proclamação da República em 1889, e a subsequente reforma educacional do Ministro Benjamin Constant em 1890, o currículo do colégio foi profundamente marcado pelas ideias positivistas de August Comte, e de modo particular, o ensino de Ciências. Uma análise dos programas de ensino cientifico adotados no referido Ginásio, de 1890 a 1900, demonstra que os mesmos foram organizados seguindo uma forma remanescente …
Preparing Law Students For Disappointing Exam Results: Lessons From "Casey At The Bat", Grant H. Morris
Preparing Law Students For Disappointing Exam Results: Lessons From "Casey At The Bat", Grant H. Morris
Grant H Morris
It is a statistical fact of life that two-thirds of the law students who enter law school will not graduate in the upper one-third of their law school class. Typically, those students are disappointed in their examination grade results and in their class standing. Nowhere does this disappointment manifest itself more than in their attitude toward their classes. As students begin law school, they are eager, excited, and willing to participate in class discussion. But after they receive their first semester grade results, many students withdraw from the learning process; they are depressed and disengaged. They suffer a significant loss …

Party Themes: Just Fun Or Offensive?, Larry D. Long
Larry D. Long
Fraternities and sororities commonly organize themed social functions. Unfortunately, many of these functions have themes that are racially or sexually derogatory. The belief is that these themes are “just for fun” and there isn’t any intent to harm or offend anyone. This session reviews examples of inappropriate party themes and provides suggestions on creating more inclusive and welcoming environments in fraternities and sororities.

Participatory Decision-Making Vis-A-Vis Teachers' Morale And Students' Achievements In Public Secondary Schools In Zamboanga City, Philippines, Socorro P. Canaya
Frede G Moreno
Participatory decision-making and teachers’ morale are positively and significantly correlated in public secondary schools in Zamboanga City, Philippines. Public secondary school teachers in Zamboanga City have High Morale in their work performance as teachers. This is evident in decision-making processes and activities regarding high school students with disciplinary problems, selection of the honor students, planning of the yearly In-Service Training for Teachers (INSET), preparation of the calendar of activities and conduct of remedial classes for slow learners.
