Five research questions were employed in conducting the study. Test items were constructed and sent to two content specialists who jointly rated the relevance of the MT items. Based on the recommendation of these resource persons, nine to ten items were randomly sampled on each domain specifications and built into the form 1 MT. In a situation where items assessed two or more behaviors, other items constructed to measure the behavior were eliminated. This practice helped to cut down form 1 MT from 100 items to 54. Form 1 MT was face-validated in terms of clarity of words and plausibility of distracter by specialist in educational measurement and evaluation, and mathematics teachers. This MT was also tried tested and the difficulty and distracter indices of the items determined. The form II MT (i.e. 54 items) was administered to 324 students and their response were used in determine the proportions of students who showed mastery. The findings of this study show that the MT II is a valid and reliable instrument. The major implication of these findings is that MT should be used in both formative and summative evaluation of student’s performance in mathematics tests. 20 students scored 46-50 marks, 23 students scored 51-55 marks, 30 students scored 56-60 marks, and 25 students scored 61-65 marks. 22 students scored 66-70 marks, 12 students scored 71-75 marks and 5 students scored 76-80 marks. When these scores (A & B) was plotted in the same graph, two curve was obtained and the point where the two curve intercept is 45%. This become the accepted cut-off for the MT. Coefficient of agreement Po; above shows the measure of the proportion of students for whom the same decision, mastery or non-mastery is made on both administration, i.e. test 1 and test 2 by the raters. In the above table, 2 test was administered to a sample of 324 students and result classified for both test.","PeriodicalId":14290,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications (IJSRP)","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87768890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

FLI is now a revolutionary agricultural intensification approach which is already in progress and has the magnitude to significantly transform the living standards of smallholder farmers. However a rigorous assessment of its impact of A1 resettled under its Fast Track Land Reform (FTLRP) is lacking. This study bridges the gap by assessing role of FLI farming iniatives on the livelihoods of resettled farmers under redistributed lands in Mazowe District in Mashonaland Central Province in Zimbabwe. The sample size for the study for quantitative data was 310 A1 farmers practicing FLI in Mazowe District while 5 public officers were for qualitative data. A questionnaire was used to collect household data. Processing of data was done using the Structural Equation Model (STEM). This study found out that smallholder farmer led irrigation had a positive impact on the socio economic aspects of the livelihoods of A1 resettled farmers under Mazowe District of Mashonaland Central Province of Zimbabwe. The study, therefore, recommended ICT development for extension officers who in turn are expected to assist A1 farmers as they embark on FLI farming while improving level of education will help farmers acquire the necessary information needed for decision making under the FLI. Government subsidy interventions will help farmers acquire FLI hardware at affordable costs while enhanced female participation is also envisaged to help stabilize household food security situations. The study also recommends further studies to establish other factors that might provide further insights into the effect of farmer led irrigation farming on livelihoods of farmers.","PeriodicalId":14290,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications (IJSRP)","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88135887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The question I am trying to answer is: “How did we get to this point?”. These are reflections on some of the writings of Max Weber (the themes of intellectualisation, rationalisation and disenchantment), Philippe Ariès (the theme of death), Luigi Berzano (the themes of the autonomy of styles and the fourth secularisation), Robert Neelly Bellah (the theme of civil religion), Michel Maffesoli (the theme of re-enchantment) and on two earlier research papers of mine on cognitive social deviance, already published. The first research work concerns a Masonic Academy in the Sicilian hinterland which, in the second half of the 18th century, worked in a network with other Academies in Palermo and Catania and with the Roman Arcadia and which can be traced back to the Neapolitan Masonic circles of Raimondo di Sangro, prince of San Severo, and the Sansevero Chapel. The second research work was conducted, both in the Masonic Order and in various Masonic Rites, using the method of participant observation, after initiation, within the two most – spirituality has now entered our everyday vocabulary. We encounter it more and more often and on the most diverse occasions, just as the number of those who define themselves using the formula is growing: I am spiritual, but not religious . To be spiritual is to engage in a search for meaning (for sense) without affiliating or recognising oneself in a specific organised religion, following paths that usually lie outside the traditional enclosures of the sacred drawn by churches or historical confessions (or civil religions). In Italy too, there is an increase in those who set out on the path of spirituality to rediscover a deeper relationship with nature, to achieve a state of inner well-being and in their relationship with others, to unveil the mysteries that surround us. From being a marginal phenomenon, spirituality has acquired a new visibility in our country ( see Palmisano e Pannofino, 2021, synthesis of the introduction ).","PeriodicalId":14290,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications (IJSRP)","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80625139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early in 1991, the country became swamped in a clan-based civil war that crumbled state structures and the public services they provided. The ensuing lawlessness increased monumentally, making violence and abuse against women, children, minorities, and the vulnerable among the society very rampant. Social workers, in other words professionally trained people who could steer the provision of the crucially needed social services to the vulnerable ones among the society, most of whom were psychologically traumatized in one way or the other, either did not exist in the country or were barely known about. As the state of neglect became a major concern, UNICEF, the Ministry of Women and Human Rights Development of the Federal Government of Somalia, in conjunction with the Swedish government, created a platform to address the conundrum by contracting six selected universities in Somaliland, Puntland and Mogadishu in 2018 to start training the first batch of Somali social workers in certificate and diploma programs that culminated into a 4-year bachelor’s degree study. From this background, this essay aims to contribute to the existing literature on social work by discussing the introduction of formal social work education in Somalia.","PeriodicalId":14290,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications (IJSRP)","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78593808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
