Workers with less than 1 year of experience or who were younger preferred on-site practical training, while those with over 6 years of experience were willing to spend time reading professional materials. Respondents who worked longer hours and those with more experience had a stronger desire to learn. Elder workers disagreed with needing on-site training, but those over 65 still showed a high motivation to learn, possibly to challenge their minds as they aged. Farmers' learning needs and preferences vary depending on their age, experience, and work hours, so these factors should be considered in educational programs.

A Study of Anxiety in Relation to Academic Achievement among Higher Secondary...ijtsrd
Our education mainly stresses to develop cognitive aspect which deals with knowledge and to some extent develop cognitive aspect which deals with motor skills. The affective aspect which deals with emotions, feelings and sentiments of the child is totally neglected by our Education. For developing the child emotionally and socially mature, only formal education is not enough but informal education which the child gets from his family and society is also needed. In the past years, there has been extensive research on various approaches of teaching in secondary education. But no one method or approach has been found consistently superior to all. It reveals the fact that no single approach can be best suited to all the students. The most important question is to determine which students achieve more and under what conditions and also the factors which affect the achievement. An emerging area of research that holds promise in helping us to answer these questions is student's level of general mental ability in anxiety and emotional adjustment. Researchers and educationists are now attempting a thorough work in the area of general anxiety and emotional adjustment and found it a very potential one in influencing the student's academic achievement.

The document summarizes key findings from research on job demands and resources among nurses in Singapore, Japan, and Australia. Some similarities found across the studies include high workload being a major job demand and stressor for nurses. Personal characteristics like emotional intelligence and self-motivation can help increase work engagement. Differences include varying demographics and scopes of work between the countries. The summary concludes with applications for managers to reduce job demands, increase job resources, and improve work productivity and employee well-being through a balanced approach.
No nation whether developed or developing countries can rise above the level of its education without giving adequate consideration for its Human and Material resources in terms of curriculum to be used. One of the Basic qualities of a curriculum is dynamism. This implies that a good curriculum is never static rather it changes along with changes in societal needs and aspirations, political and economic factors. For example in Nigeria the educational system has witnessed some changes in Content, Context and Structure (9-3-4 educational systems). Like most of the countries in the world, the changes have come as result of the growing awareness of the need to develop technologically, socially, and economically.
A two-way ANOVA and binary logistic regression were conducted to analyze factors influencing knowledge of calorie and BMI among students and staff of the Faculty of Health Sciences, UKM. The two-way ANOVA found no significant interaction between race and school but both school and race had a main effect on knowledge scores. Post-hoc tests found significant differences between diagnostic and healthcare schools, and rehabilitation and healthcare schools. The logistic regression found that only education level significantly predicted knowledge, with graduates having 15 times higher odds of higher knowledge than undergraduates. No other factors like gender, race, family history or BMI significantly predicted knowledge.

Terminal Competency Assessment of Core Nursing Knowledge in a State UniversityRyan Michael Oducado
Assessment of educational outcomes upon completion of the nursing program is one way to inform academic institutions of the effectiveness of their teaching-learning practices. A descriptive correlational study design was carried out among 141 graduating nursing students of West Visayas State University to assess their terminal cognitive competency on core nursing knowledge framed under the National Nursing Competency Standards’ 11 Key Areas of Responsibility. All regular graduating students in the year 2015 with complete records of secondary data needed for the study were included. A validated and reliability tested questionnaire was used to assess the terminal core nursing knowledge competencies of the students. Results revealed that students, prior to graduation, had good core nursing knowledge. Significant differences were found in the terminal core nursing knowledge of students when grouped according to Nursing Aptitude Test (NAT) and academic performance in professional nursing courses, with students who had excellent and superior NAT performance and those with very good and outstanding academic performance in professional nursing courses having significantly higher terminal core nursing knowledge. NAT and academic performance had significant, positive correlation to core nursing knowledge. Further, NAT and academic performance accounted for 46% of variance explained in the core nursing knowledge of nursing students. Higher Education Institutions, therefore, must commit themselves in providing quality nursing education by ensuring proper, responsive and relevant implementation of the nursing curriculum. This in turn may translate to attainment of intended educational outcomes and learners knowledgeable of the basic foundation of nursing practice.

This document analyzes how the prospect of promotion affects job performance in federal teaching hospitals in Nigeria. It discusses an investigation of 560 health workers that found a significant relationship between staff performance and promotion opportunities. While an intense desire for promotion alone may not motivate better performance, health workers are more motivated when promotions are tied to past performance and perceived likelihood of future promotions. The document recommends that hospital management design career structures linking promotions to performance and make promotion processes as objective as possible.

This document summarizes a study that examined the relationship between job security, health management, and employees' intentions to leave private secondary schools in South-South Nigeria. The study surveyed 835 employees and found that job security and good medical provision were most important in reducing turnover. Specifically, job security had the strongest correlation with intentions to stay (r=0.86), followed by health care management (r=0.82). The combination of job security and health care management had the overall highest correlation with intentions to stay (r=0.63). Prior research also found relationships between job security, compensation, health services, and employee retention. The results suggest managers should focus on ensuring job security and providing quality health care to improve employee

ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the challenges facing staff development and training needs of teachers of English in secondary schools in Kenya with reference to Kericho County. The objective of the study was to describe factors limiting teachers’ participation in staff development and training programmes. In doing this, the study adopted the needs assessment theory and Frederic Herzerberg’s two factor theory of job motivation and satisfaction. Both theories talk of the need for continuous training of staff in order to increase their productivity. Both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies were used in the study. The study used a survey research design. A total of 25 schools, 50 teachers of English, 25 heads of department and 25 head teachers took part in the study. Simple random sampling technique was used to select the 25 schools out of which two teachers of English from each of the participating schools were randomly picked. All heads of English departments and head teachers of the participating schools took part in the study. Questionnaires were used to collect data from the 50 teachers of English while interview schedules were used to obtain data from the heads of English departments and head teachers. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics like percentages and presented using tables, charts and figures, while qualitative data from the heads of departments and head teachers’ interview schedules was coded and analyzed thematically to establish relationships, trends and patterns from which the researcher drew useful conclusions and recommendations. The study established that most of the teachers fell short of the expected competencies under investigation, an indication of the need for more in-service training for serving teachers. The study also established that there were many factors hindering teachers’ participation in the existing staff development and training programmes. The study recommends that in-service training should be structured, regularized, institutionalized and made compulsory for all teachers of English.

The study examined differences in stress and burnout levels between employed and unemployed individuals in Sri Lanka. 99 participants completed questionnaires on demographics, stress, and burnout prevention. The results showed that employed individuals, including full-time employees, part-time/self-employed, and students, had higher average stress and burnout scores than unemployed and retired individuals. However, the effect size between employment status and stress/burnout levels was small. The study aimed to contribute to the limited existing research comparing stress levels between employed and unemployed populations in Asian cultures like Sri Lanka.

This document summarizes a study that examined the relationship between job security, health management, and employees' intentions to leave private secondary schools in South-South Nigeria. The study surveyed 835 employees and found that job security and good medical provision were most important in reducing turnover. Specifically, job security had the strongest correlation with intentions to stay (r=0.86), followed by health care management (r=0.82). The combination of job security and health care management had the overall highest correlation with intentions to stay (r=0.63). Prior research also found relationships between job security, compensation, health services, and employee retention. The results suggest managers should focus on ensuring job security and providing quality health care to improve employee
Challenges facing staff development and training: A survey of secondary schoo...inventionjournals
ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the challenges facing staff development and training needs of teachers of English in secondary schools in Kenya with reference to Kericho County. The objective of the study was to describe factors limiting teachers’ participation in staff development and training programmes. In doing this, the study adopted the needs assessment theory and Frederic Herzerberg’s two factor theory of job motivation and satisfaction. Both theories talk of the need for continuous training of staff in order to increase their productivity. Both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies were used in the study. The study used a survey research design. A total of 25 schools, 50 teachers of English, 25 heads of department and 25 head teachers took part in the study. Simple random sampling technique was used to select the 25 schools out of which two teachers of English from each of the participating schools were randomly picked. All heads of English departments and head teachers of the participating schools took part in the study. Questionnaires were used to collect data from the 50 teachers of English while interview schedules were used to obtain data from the heads of English departments and head teachers. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics like percentages and presented using tables, charts and figures, while qualitative data from the heads of departments and head teachers’ interview schedules was coded and analyzed thematically to establish relationships, trends and patterns from which the researcher drew useful conclusions and recommendations. The study established that most of the teachers fell short of the expected competencies under investigation, an indication of the need for more in-service training for serving teachers. The study also established that there were many factors hindering teachers’ participation in the existing staff development and training programmes. The study recommends that in-service training should be structured, regularized, institutionalized and made compulsory for all teachers of English.

In Benin, chilli pepper is a widely consumed as vegetable whose production requires the use of performant varieties. This work assessed, at Parakou and Malanville, the performance of six F1 hybrids of chilli including five imported (Laali, Laser, Nandi, Kranti, Nandita) and one local (De cayenne), in completely randomized block design at four replications and 15 plants per elementary plot. Agro-morphological data were collected and submitted to analysis of variance and factor analysis of mixed data. The results showed the effects of variety, location and their interactions were highly significant for most of the growth, earliness and yield traits. Imported hybrid varieties showed the best performances compared to the local one. Multivariate analysis revealed that 'De cayenne' was earlier, short in size, thin-stemmed, red fruits and less yielding (≈ 1 t.ha-1). The imported hybrids LaaliF1 and KrantiF1 were of strong vegetative vigor, more yielding (> 6 t.ha-1) by developing larger, long and hard fruits. Other hybrids showed intermediate performances. This study highlighted the importance of imported hybrids in improving yield and preservation of chili fruits. However, stability and adaptation analyses to local conditions are necessary for their adoption.
An Empirical Approach for the Variation in Capital Market Price Changes Premier Publishers
The chances of an investor in the stock market depends mainly on some certain decisions in respect to equilibrium prices, which is the condition of a system competing favorably and effectively. This paper considered a stochastic model which was latter transformed to non-linear ordinary differential equation where stock volatility was used as a key parameter. The analytical solution was obtained which determined the equilibrium prices. A theorem was developed and proved to show that the proposed mathematical model follows a normal distribution since it has a symmetric property. Finally, graphical results were presented and the effects of the relevant parameters were discussed.

Chia is an emerging cash crop in Kenya and its production is inhibited by lack of agronomic management information. A field experiment was conducted in February-June and May-August 2021, to determine the influence of nitrogen and spacing on growth and yield of Chia. A randomized complete block design with a split plot arrangement was used with four nitrogen rates as the main plots (0, 40, 80, 120 kg N ha-1) and three spacing (30 cm x 15 cm (s1), 30 cm x 30 cm (s2), 50 cm x 50 cm (s3)). Application of 120 kg N ha-1 significantly increased (p≤0.05) vegetative growth and seed yield of Chia. Stem height, branches, stem diameter and leaves increased by 23-28%, 11-13%, 43-55% and 59-88% respectively. Spacing s3 significantly increased (p≤0.05) vegetative growth. An increase of 27-74%, 36-45% and 73-107% was recorded in number of leaves, stem diameter and dry weight, respectively. Chia yield per plant was significantly higher (p≤0.05) in s3. However, when expressed per unit area, s1 significantly produced higher yields. The study recommends 120 kg N ha-1 or higher nitrogen rates and a closer spacing of 15 cm x 30 cm as the best option for Chia production in Kenya.

Impact of Provision of Litigation Supports through Forensic Investigations on...Premier Publishers
This paper presents an argument through the fraud triangle theory that the provision of litigation supports through forensic audits and investigations in relation to corporate fraud cases is adequate for effective prosecution of perpetrators as well as corporate fraud prevention. To support this argument, this study operationalized provision of litigation supports through forensic audit and investigations, data mining for trends and patterns, and fraud data collection and preparation. A sample of 500 respondents was drawn from the population of professional accountants and legal practitioners in Nigeria. Questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection and this was mailed to the respective respondents. Resulting responses were analyzed using the OLS multiple regression techniques via the SPSS statistical software. The results reveal that the provision of litigation supports through forensic audits and investigations, fraud data mining for trends and patterns and fraud data collection and preparation for court proceedings have a positive and significant impact on corporate fraud prevention in Nigeria. This study therefore recommends that regulators should promote the provision of litigation supports through forensic audits and investigations in relation to corporate fraud cases in publicly listed firms in Nigeria, as this will help provide reports that are acceptable in court proceedings.
Improving the Efficiency of Ratio Estimators by Calibration WeightingsPremier Publishers
It is observed that the performances of most improved ratio estimators depend on some optimality conditions that need to be satisfied to guarantee better estimator. This paper develops a new approach to ratio estimation that produces a more efficient class of ratio estimators that do not depend on any optimality conditions for optimum performance using calibration weightings. The relative performances of the proposed calibration ratio estimators are compared with a corresponding global [Generalized Regression (GREG)] estimator. Results of analysis showed that the proposed calibration ratio estimators are substantially superior to the traditional GREG-estimator with relatively small bias, mean square error, average length of confidence interval and coverage probability. In general, the proposed calibration ratio estimators are more efficient than all existing estimators considered in the study.

Urbanization and quality of urban life are mutually related and however it varies geographically and regionally. With unprecedented growth of urban centres, challenge against urban development is more in terms of how to enhance quality of urban life and liveability. Making sense of and measuring urban liveability of urban places has become a crucial step in the context of sustainable development paradigm. Geographical regions depict variations in nature of urban development and consequently level of urban liveability. The coastal regain of West Bengal faces unusual challenges caused by increasing urbanization, uncontrolled growth, and expansion of economic activities like tourism and changing environmental quality. The present study offers a perspective on urban liveability of urban places located in coastal region comprising of Purba Medinipur and South 24 Parganas districts. The study uses the liveability standards covering four major pillars- institutional, social, economic and physical and their indicators. This leads to develop a City Liveability Index to rank urban places of the region, higher the index values better the urban liveability. The data for the purpose is collected from various secondary sources. Study finds that the eastern coastal region of the country covering state of West Bengal depicts variations in index of liveability determined by physical, economic, social and institutional indicators.

Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a plant which has recently been used widely as a sweetener. This medicinal plant has some components such as diterpenoid glycosides called steviol glycosides [SGs]. Rebaudioside A is a diterpenoid steviol glycoside which is 300 times sweeter than table sugar. This study was done to investigate the effect of GA3 (50 mg/L) on the expression of 14 genes involved in Rebaudioside A biosynthesis pathway in Stevia rebaudiana under in vitro conditions. The expression of DXS remarkably decreased by day 3. Also, probably because of the negative feedback of GA3 on MEP-drived isoprenes, GGDS transcript level reached its lowest amount after GA3 treatment. The abundance of DXR, CMS, CMK, MCS, and CDPS transcripts showed a significant increase at various days after this treatment. A significant drop in the expression levels of KS and UGT85C2 is detected during the first day. However, expression changes of HDR and KD were not remarkable. Results revealed that the level of transcript of UGT74G1 and UGT76G1 up regulated significantly 4 and 2 times higher than control, respectively. However, more research needs to shed more light on the mechanism of GA3 on gene expression of MEP pathway.

Information on genetic variability for biochemical characters is a prerequisite for improvement of tea quality. Thirteen introduced tea clones characterized with objective; assessing tea clones based on morphological characters at Melko and Gera research stations. The study was conducted during 2017/18 cropping season on experimental plots in RCBD with three replications. Data recorded on morphological traits like days from pruning to harvest, height to first branch, stem diameter, leaf serration density, leaf length, leaf width, leaf size, petiole length, leaf ratio, internode length, shoot length, number of shoot, canopy diameter, hundred shoot weight, fresh leaf yield per tree. Cluster analysis of morphological trait grouped into four clusters indicated, the existence of divergence among the tested clones. The maximum inter-cluster distance was between clusters I and IV (35.27) while the minimum inter cluster distance was observed between clusters I and II (7.8).Principal components analysis showed that the first five principal components with eigenvalues greater than one accounted 86.45% for 15 morphological traits. Generally, the study indicated presence of variability for several morphological traits. However, high morphological variation between clones is not a guarantee for a high genetic variation; therefore, molecular studies need to be considered as complementary to biochemical studies.
Causes, Consequences and Remedies of Juvenile Delinquency in the Context of S...Premier Publishers
This research work was designed to examine nature of juvenile offences committed by juveniles, causes of juvenile delinquency, consequences of juvenile delinquency and remedies for juvenile delinquency in the context of Sub-Saharan Africa with specific reference to Eritrea. Left unchecked, juvenile delinquents on the streets engage in petty theft, take alcohol or drugs, rape women, rob people at night involve themselves in criminal gangs and threaten the public at night. To shed light on the problem of juvenile delinquency in the Sub-Saharan region data was collected through primary and secondary sources. A sample size of 70 juvenile delinquents was selected from among 112 juvenile delinquents in remand at the Asmara Juvenile Rehabilitation Center in the Eritrean capital. The study was carried out through coded self-administered questionnaires administered to a sample of 70 juvenile delinquents. The survey evidence indicates that the majority of the juvenile respondents come either from families constructed by unmarried couples or separated or divorced parents where largely the father is missing in the home or dead. The findings also indicate that children born out of wedlock, families led by single mothers, lack of fatherly role models, poor parental-child relationships and negative peer group influence as dominant causes of juvenile infractions. The implication is that broken and stressed families are highly likely to be the breeding grounds for juvenile delinquency. The survey evidence indicates that stealing, truancy or absenteeism from school, rowdy or unruly behavior at school, free-riding in public transportation, damaging the book of fellow students and beating other young persons are the most common forms of juvenile offenses. It is therefore, recommended that parents and guardians should exercise proper parental supervision and give adequate care to transmit positive societal values to children. In addition, the government, the police, prosecution and courts, non-government organizations, parents, teachers, religious leaders, education administrators and other stakeholders should develop a child justice system that strives to prevent children from entering deeper into the criminal justice process.
The Knowledge of and Attitude to and Beliefs about Causes and Treatments of M...Premier Publishers
Stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness are a common occurrence in the Sub-Saharan region including Eritrea. Numerous studies from Sub-Saharan Africa suggest that stigma and discrimination are major problems in the community, with negative attitudes and behavior towards people with mental illness being widespread. In order to assess the whether such negative attitudes persist in the context of Eritrea this study explored the knowledge and perceptions of 90 Eritrean university students at the College of Business and Economics, the University of Asmara regarding the causes and remedies of mental illness A qualitative method involving coded self-administered questionnaires administered to a sample of 90 university students to collecting data at the end of 2019. The survey evidence points that almost 50% of the respondents had contact with a mentally ill person suggesting that the significant number of the respondents experienced a first-hand encounter and knowledge of mental illness in their family and community. The findings show an overall greater science-based understanding of the causes of mental illness to be followed by recommended psychiatric treatments. The survey evidence indicates that the top three leading causes of mental illness in the context of Eritrea according to the respondents are brain disease (76%), bad events in the life of the mentally ill person (66%) and substance abuse or alcohol taking, smoking, taking drugs like hashish. (54%). The majority of the respondents have a very sympathetic and positive outlook towards mentally ill persons suggesting that mentally illness does not simply affect a chosen individual rather it can happen to anybody regardless of economic class, social status, ethnicity race and religion. Medical interventions cited by the majority of the respondents as being effective treatments for mental illness centered on the idea that hospitals and clinics for treatment and even cures for psychiatric disease. Changing perceptions of mental illnesses in Eritrea that paralleled the very caring and sympathetic attitudes of the sample university students would require raising public awareness regarding mental illness through education, using the mass media to raise public awareness, integrating mental health into the primary health care system, decentralizing mental health care services to increase access to treatment and providing affordable service to maintain positive treatment outcomes.
Effect of Phosphorus and Zinc on the Growth, Nodulation and Yield of Soybean ...Premier Publishers
This study investigated the effects of phosphorus and zinc on the growth, nodulation, and yield of two soybean varieties in Nigeria. Phosphorus application significantly affected growth, nodulation, yield, and some yield components, with 60 kg P2O5/ha giving the highest growth and yield. Phosphorus also increased nodulation, with 30 kg P2O5/ha providing the highest nodulation. Zinc application did not significantly affect most growth characters or nodulation, except for reducing plant height. Phosphorus increased soybean yield significantly to 1.9 t/ha compared to the control of 1.7 t/ha. Protein and oil contents were not significantly affected by phosphorus but were by zinc
Influence of Harvest Stage on Yield and Yield Components of Orange Fleshed Sw...Premier Publishers
A field experiment was conducted at Adami Tullu Agricultural Research Center in 2018 under rainfed condition with supplementary irrigation to determine the influence of harvest stage on vine yield and tuberous root yield of orange fleshed sweet potato varieties. The experiment consisted of four harvest stages (105, 120, 135 and 150 days after planting) and Kulfo, Tulla and Guntute varieties. A 4 X 3 factorial experiment arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications was used. Interaction of harvest stage and variety significantly influenced above ground fresh biomass, vine length, marketable tuberous root weight per hectare, commercial harvest index and harvest index. The highest mean values of above ground fresh biomass (66.12 t/ha) and marketable tuberous root weight (56.39 t/ha) were produced by Guntute variety harvested at 135 days after planting. Based on the results, it can be recommended that, farmers of the study area can grow Guntute variety by harvesting at 135 days after planting to obtain optimum vine and tuberous root yields.
Performance evaluation of upland rice (Oryza sativa L.) and variability study...Premier Publishers
This study evaluated 13 upland rice varieties over two locations in Ethiopia for yield and other traits. Significant differences were found among varieties for several traits. The highest yielding varieties were Chewaka, Hiddassie, and Fogera 1. Chewaka yielded 5395.8 kg/ha on average, 25.8-35% more than the check. Most varieties matured within 120-130 days. High heritability was found for days to heading, panicle length, and grain yield, indicating these traits can be easily improved through selection. Grain yield also had high genetic variation and heritability with genetic advance, suggesting yield can be improved through selection. This study identified variability that can be used
Response of Hot Pepper (Capsicum Annuum L.) to Deficit Irrigation in Bennatse...Premier Publishers
This study was conducted at Enchete kebele in Benna-Tsemay Woreda, South Omo Zone to evaluate the response of hot pepper to deficit irrigation on yield and water productivity under furrow irrigation system. The experiment comprised four treatments (100 % of ETc, 85% of ETc, 70 % of ETc and 50% of ETc), respectively. The experiment was laid out in RCBD and replicated four times. The two years combined yield results indicated that, the maximum total yield (20.38 t/ha) was obtained from 100% ETc while minimum yield (12.92 t/ha) was obtained from 50% of ETc deficit irrigation level. The highest WUE 5.22 kg/ha mm-1 was obtained from 50% of ETc. Treatment of 100% ETc irrigation application had highest benefit cost ratio (4.5) than all others treatments. Applying 50% of ETc reduce the yield by 37% when compared to 100 % ETc. Accordingly, to achieve maximum hot pepper yield in areas where water is not scarce, applying 100% ETc irrigation water application level throughout whole growing season under furrow irrigation system is recommended. But, in the study area water scarcity is the major limiting factor for crop production. So, it is possible to get better yield and water productivity of hot pepper when we apply 85% ETc irrigation water throughout growing season under furrow irrigation system.
Harnessing the Power of Agricultural Waste: A Study of Sabo Market, Ikorodu, ...Premier Publishers
Nigeria is still burdened with huge responsibilities of waste disposal because the potential for benefits of proper waste management is yet to be harnessed. The paper evaluates the capacity of the Sabo Cattle market in producing the required quantities of waste from animal dung alongside decomposed fruits with a view to generating renewable energy possibilities for lighting, security and other business activities of the market. It is estimated that about 998 million tons of agricultural waste is produced yearly in the country with organic wastes amounting to 80 percent of the total solid wastes. This can be categorized into biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes. The paper evaluates the capacity of the Sabo Cattle market in producing the required quantities of waste from animal dung alongside decomposed fruits with a view to generating renewable energy possibilities for lighting, security and other business activities of the market. The Sabo market was treated as a study case with the adoption of in-depth examinations of the facility, animals and products for sale and waste generated. A combination of experimental, interviews (qualitative) and design simulation (for final phase) was adopted to extract, verify and analyse the data generated from the study. Animal waste samples were subjected to compositional and fibre analysis with results showing that the sample has high potency for biogas production. Biodegradable Wastes are human and animal excreta, agricultural and all degradable wastes. Availability of high quantity of waste generated being organic in Sabo market allows the use of anaerobic digestion to be proposed as a waste to energy technology due to its feasibility for conversion of moist biodegradable wastes into biogas. The study found that at peak supply period during the Islamic festivities, a conservative 300tonnes of animal waste is generated during the week which translates to over 800kilowatts of electricity.
Influence of Conferences and Job Rotation on Job Productivity of Library Staf...Premier Publishers
The general purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of conferences and job rotation on job productivity of library staff in tertiary institutions in Imo State, Nigeria. The survey research design was used for this study using questionnaire as an instrument for data collection. This study covered the entire population of 661. Out of these, 501 copies of the questionnaire representing 75.8% were duly completed and returned for analysis. Student’s t-test was used to analyze the research questions. The finding showed that conferences had no significant influence on the job productivity of library staff in tertiary institutions in Imo State, Nigeria (F cal= 7.86; t-vale =6.177; p >0.005). Finding also showed that job rotation significantly influences job productivity of library staff in tertiary institutions in Imo State, Nigeria (F-cal value= 18.65; t-value = 16.225; P<0.05). This study recommended that, government should ensure that library staff participate in conferences with themes and topics that are relevant to the job they perform and also ensure that there should be proper evaluation and feedback mechanism which aimed to ensuring control and minimize abuse of their development opportunities. Again, there should be written statement of objectives in order to sustain job rotation programmes. Also, that training and development needs of library staff must be identified and analyzed before embarking on job rotation processes as this would help to build skills, competences, specialization and high job productivity.

Gentrification and its Effects on Minority Communities – A Comparative Case S...Premier Publishers
This paper does a comparative analysis of four global cities and their minority districts which have been experiencing the same structural pressure of gentrification. The main contribution of this paper is providing a detailed comparison of four micro geographies worldwide and the impacts of gentrification on them: Barrio Logan in San Diego, Bo-Kaap in Cape Town, the Mission District in San Francisco, and the Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus District in Vienna. All four cities have been experiencing the displacement of minority communities due to increases in property values. These cities were chosen because their governments enacted different policies to temper the gentrification process. It was found that cities which implemented social housing and cultural inclusionary policies were more successful in maintaining the cultural and demographic make-up of the districts.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

2. Effects of Age and Experience on Learning Activities for Animal Farmers
Lee and Hsia 301
indicated that, under good human-animal relations, dairy
cattle can improve milk yield (Seabrook, 1984), piglets can
have better growth performance (Hemsworth et al., 1981;
Gonyou et al., 1986; Hemsworth et al., 1987), and gilts can
have a better conception rate (Hemsworth et al., 1986).
However, there is very little research on animal farmers’
learning.
There are reports that ability to learn often decreases with
age due to a decline in cognitive abilities. Avolio and
Waldman (1994) collected data from employed persons in
the U.S. from 1970-1984 and found a relatively sharp
decline of ability levels after the 25-34 age group, such as
numerical ability, verbal aptitude, clerical perception, finger
dexterity and general intelligence. Verhaegen and
Salthouse (1997) revealed that the measures used to
assess speed, reasoning, and episodic memory decline
significantly before 50 years of age and a greater rate of
decline thereafter. These declines in cognitive abilities will
impede the performance of skills such as spatial memory
(Salthouse, 2010, 2017; Cheke, 2016; Korman et al.,
2019).
Usually farmers tend to obtain knowledge and skills from
practical experience. Field oriented training programs are
important for them. In this way they learn by doing and do
through learning to accumulate the required abilities and
work experience. The association between work
experience and work performance is positive (McDaniel et
al., 1988; Uppal et al., 2014). Experienced workers not
only ensure efficiency in farm work but also ensure that
they are effective in what they do. However there still exists
individual differences as Uppal et al. (2014) concluded that
the individual personality factors had moderation effects
on the relationship.
It is important to provide farmers learning activities to
enhance their abilities through uptake of improved
husbandry practices and appropriate technology, to
improve their and their families’ lives, especially in this
rapidly and continually changing world. To our knowledge,
there is no in-depth analysis about the relationship
between age and experience on the animal farmers’
motivational attitudes and beliefs towards learning. With a
view to examine these aspects, research was undertaken
with the following hypotheses:
1. Farmers will gain professional knowledge and skills to
resolve problems through continuous learning
activities.
2. Farmers with less work experience prefer on-site
practical training, and those with much experience do
not.
3. Older-aged farmers have lower willingness to learn
because of lower physical and cognitive abilities.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This study was an exploratory study, using a questionnaire
approach. The subject of the questionnaire was to
examine the attitudes towards learning of farmers with
different working experience and age from animal
production. During animal production conferences and
training courses organized by the Animal Division of
Innovation and Practical Training Center of National
Pingtung University of Science and Technology,
questionnaires were distributed to the participants to be
completed. The survey responses were anonymous. The
questionnaire used six-point Likert scale closed questions,
with six options from 1 (indicating strongly disagree) to 6
(indicating strongly agree). Subjects gave single answers
to better quantify the problem. Respondents were
classified into two patterns depending on their mean score.
The mean scores above 3.5 were categorized as positive,
while those below it as negative. Questionnaire data were
analyzed using the general linear model procedure (GLM)
in SAS (2004) for analysis of variance, and Duncan’s new
multiple range test used to compare differences among the
means.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A total of 1,388 questionnaires were issued and 838 were
returned, for a recovery rate was 60.4%, of which 40 were
voided due to more than half of the questions being
unanswered; therefore, 798 questionnaires were accepted
with an adjusted response rate of 57.5%. The socio-
economic characteristics of the respondents are as
follows. More than half of the respondents’ work
experience was above 6 years. Respondents’ working
time on animal farms was mainly 4-8 hours per day (41%),
followed by 9-12 hours per day (25.2%). Most respondents
were from the southern part of Taiwan, whose main
industry is animal production. Nearly one-third (32%) of
respondents’ ages were 25-34 years old, followed by 35-
44 years old (23.7%) and 45-54 years old (21.2%).
Work Experience and Learning
Results related to working experience are shown in Figure
1. Respondents whose work experience was less than 1
year were highly agreeable to attending 5-day practical
training, one to three conferences on advanced
knowledge, and inviting an expert to their farm for further
training (p<0.05). This agrees with our hypothesis 2 that
farmers with less experience prefer on-site practical
training. They also agreed that taking university extension
courses would be helpful to them, so much so that they
would review course contents at night when attending
training programs. This may be due to their being new to
the industry in order to get acquainted with the industry
sooner, so they expressed higher learning motivation.
Interestingly, those with work experience above 6 years
showed the second most agreeable attitude toward
attending one to three conferences per year. However, due
to having much more work experience, they were less
agreeable to attending practical training, or inviting an
expert to farm as necessary (p<0.05). This agrees with our
3. Effects of Age and Experience on Learning Activities for Animal Farmers
Int. J. Agric. Educ. Ext. 302
hypothesis 2 that farmers with much experience do not
prefer on-site practical training. Unsurprisingly, they had
fewer problems with work (p<0.05), due to experienced
workers had better job performance (McDaniel et al., 1988;
Uppal et al., 2014). In the present study, they agreed that
distance learning through computer was helpful, and that
they would take at least two hours per week to read
professional books or magazines (p<0.05), read
proceedings after conferences (p<0.05), and review
course contents at night when attending training programs
(p<0.05).
When encountering problems, those with work experience
with 1 to 3 years tended to discuss problems with friends
to find solutions, those with 4 to 6 years tended to find
books or magazines for answers, and those above 6 years
preferred to seek experts for help (p<0.05). Compared to
those with other work experience, those with above 6
years tended to think by themselves, because they may
have many more professional books or magazines related
to animal science or veterinary medicine (p<0.05). Those
with 1-3 and 4-6 years’ experience would find answers
from libraries or bookshops (p<0.05), while those with
above 6 years’ experience showed less willingness. Those
with less than one year’s experience highly agreed to find
solutions on the Internet in Chinese language, followed by
1-3 years, 4-6 years, and above 6 years (p<0.05).
Work Time and Learning
Learning is the most useful way in enhancing personal
capacities and gaining knowledge and skills. A Dutch study
revealed that the top 10 learning preferences for agri-food
sector did not include any formal learning simply because
of lack of time; non-formal and informal learning activities
prevailed (Lans et al., 2004). Part time working is flexible,
but Pakistani researchers (Hashmi et al., 2016) concluded
that full time working in cotton farms farmers were more
efficient than the part time working farmers. The more work
time on a farm daily, the more agreeable employees were
to attending 1-3 conferences per year as necessary
(p<0.05), and tended to agree to attending a 5-day
practical training courses as necessary. Those with work
time of 9-12 hours per day were agreeable to inviting
experts to farms for training and taking university courses
helpful to them (p<0.05). Those with work time above 12
hours have less time for learning, so they do not think
taking university courses would be helpful. Besides, they
would read professional books or magazines (p<0.01),
read proceedings (p<0.05), and review course contents
(p<0.05). This may be due to they have less time for
learning so will seize the chance for every moment to
learn, resulting in fewer problems at work (Table 1). Those
with work time less than 4 hours per day more frequently
find answers through the Chinese Internet when
encountering problems (p<0.05), English language
Internet (p<0.05), or in libraries or bookshops (p<0.05). It
may be that they have much more time to search for
information for solutions.
Age and Learning
Results related to ages are given in Table 2. Younger
workers (15-24 years old) agreed that attending a 5-day
practical training course was necessary, but those of ages
45-54 did not think so (p<0.05). In an increasingly aging
society, much more attention is paid to older persons’
education needs. Those aged above 65 highly agreed that
distance learning through computer was helpful to them
(p<0.05). This was in agreement with Guo’s (2017) study
of older adults (aged 60-85) learning computer
programming. He discovered that they were motivated to
learn to keep their brains challenged as they aged, to make
up for missed opportunities during youth, to connect with
younger family members, and to improve job prospects. In
the present study, results showed that those aged above
65 had the greatest desire to learn. Thus, our hypothesis
3 was not supported. Though physical and cognitive ability
levels of aged people will decline, it seems not affect
learning too much. A survey conducted on 1,500 employed
individuals aged 55 to 64 and found that the continuing
training motivation is quite high (Thieme et al., 2015).
Another report mentioned that ageing does not impede
academic achievement (Imlach et al., 2017).
Those aged 15-24 did not express high motivation in non-
formal and informal learning activities. This may be due to
the fact that they are still in university or just graduated
from university and are not used to learning by themselves.
Young people do not have accumulated experience and
knowledge, researchers or extension workers must help
them become aware of their needs and make the valence
on learning. Those aged 25-34 highly agreed to finding
solutions through the Chinese Internet (p<0.01), and those
aged 15-24 agreed too. Young respondents were born into
a world of technology and familiar with digital tools. They
prefer learning through searching the Chinese Internet.
From Figure 1, Tables 1 and 2, respondents showed being
less agreeable to search information through the Internet
in English to resolve problems. This may be due to
obstacles in learning English. A study conducted by Lans
et al. (2004) on work-related lifelong learning for
entrepreneurs in the agri-food sector also mentioned that
skills with regard to foreign languages (English, German,
French and Spanish) scored relatively low. The ongoing
globalization will emphasize much more on
communication in foreign languages. Learners’ motivation
has a very important role in the development of language
skills (Alizadeh, 2016). How to motivate farmers in
language learning is another question. Besides, extension
workers and government agencies should try to translate
documents and transmit advanced knowledge and skills
as soon as possible to improve the industry. Laal (2011)
stated that if countries are to see lifelong learning develop
further, then the patterns of behavior of everyone in the
industry needs to change, including employee individuals,
employers, and the providers of learning and
qualifications. Nonetheless, mean scores of learning

activities and problem-solving manners were above 3.5,
our hypothesis 1 was supported by this study. Farmers
with different age and experience will gain professional
knowledge and skills and resolve problems through
continuous learning activities.
CONCLUSIONS
Most farmers agree to continuous learning and this will
improve their competencies in animal production. For
farmers with less work experience, practical training is
favorable. We found that respondents classified as longer
working hours and those with more work experience have
a much higher desire to learn. In addition, the learning
motivation of respondents above 65 years old is frequently
higher than for those in the 15-24 years old group. Though
physical condition and cognitive function decline, older-
aged farmers have higher willingness to learn. From the
study we found that farmers with different working
experience, working hours, and ages learn differently, their
needs and preferences should be taken into consideration.
Too little attention is paid to research on learning of animal
farmers. The study raises awareness of animal farmers’
learning and provides a foundation for improvements in
design of learning activities to enhance animal farmers’
participation in extension education. Also, it is important to
integrate learning into workflow and make learning
activities according to personal needs. Additional efforts
are required to address the animal farmers’ desire to learn
and for policymakers to help farmers maintain competitive
skills and knowledge through related training,
conferences, or strategies.
