{"title":"Accessing Trends, and Measuring Sexual and Location Disparities of the Performance of National Examination Examinees: The case of Amhara Regional State Grade Ten Students","authors":"","doi":"10.33140/jhss.05.04.19","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33140/jhss.05.04.19","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Examinations are given to certify and select candidates for higher educations. The Ethiopian General Secondary Education Certificate Examination (EGSECE) was administered from 2001 to 2019. This study was done on grade ten students’ results who were taken the EGSECE exams in Amhara region 2001 to 2017. The purpose of this research was to see the trends of absolute and relative measures of the national exam sitters and passers, and evaluate sexual and locational disparities of their performances. Method: The researchers would use retrospective research design and adopted multi stage cluster random sampling. Students were the primary units while Zones where their schools found were secondary. All grade ten students registered to take the EGSECE exam in each year in several high schools found in different administrative zones of the region were our sample. To analyze the data, the researchers used trend and variance analysis. Results: Though the numbers of EGSECE exams sitters in the region were increased year to year, the relative numbers of passers were very low. The researchers found the gap between the trends of the numbers of students registered and took the national examinations were narrow. As time increased, the area between the trends of the numbers of students took the national exam and those got pass mark became wider. The trends of the promotion rates were the mirror images of the repetition rates. As time goes, the areal gap between the trends of the promotion rates of males and females became narrow. The mean promotion rate differences between male and female students were significant. Also, the average promotion rate differences of students among their administrative zones were significant. Conclusion: In Amhara region little information exists on trend analysis of national exam results of students, and comparison of their mean promotion rates segregated by gender and zone. This research will enable the regional and zonal education bureau and woreda education offices to predict the future movement of its student’s national exam performances, measure gender and location disparity, and perceive quality and internal efficiency of the education system in the region, zone and woreda.","PeriodicalId":267360,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanities & Social Sciences","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125777176","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}

Degree of genuineness depends on the degree of comfort. Thus comfort is the acid test of genuine love. The paradox is that love is always genuine but lover may not be genuine. Love is abstract. Lover is concrete. But lover seldom takes concrete decision. Most of the time lover betrays. Love betrays not. If love is one-sided there occurs avoidance first then separation is must. If both dislike both then separation takes place quick and smooth. Then both go back, rather compelled to go back to their respective places of comfort or discomfort from where they hailed. As such they say, “Look before you leap”.","PeriodicalId":267360,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanities & Social Sciences","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115130514","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}

One message is that the focus on mitigation and adaptation alone will not allow to reduce climate change risks with the time left before we reach potential tipping points of the climate system. The article therefore has a focus on additional approaches such as carbon dioxide removal (CDR) by technologies that can be upscaled to limit overshooting to a reasonable period of time (several decades) and approaches to avoid further warming by use of solar radiative management (SRM) approaches to buy time before CDR will have done its job. As a first step with respect to governance, principles that could be the basis for requirements are suggested, based upon recently developed documents in the private and voluntary domain to address greenwashing in the context of carbon neutrality/net zero carbon claims.","PeriodicalId":267360,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanities & Social Sciences","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130006449","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}

Voters were to determine if the state should expand access to Medicaid as well as decide the next President of the United States. The lack of access to affordable health care, combined with a federal administration at odds with the Black Lives Matter movement, elevated the importance of electoral engagement within communities of color. The emergence COVID-19 complicated voter mobilization efforts as public health restrictions limited access to voters and shifting voting regulations confused voters. This study presents an in-depth qualitative case study of voter mobilization efforts in St. Louis by drawing on semi-structured interviews with 28 participants who engaged in voter mobilization within poverty-impacted communities in St. Louis City and St. Louis County. Subjects identified how they shifted tactics to allow for the health and safety of mobilizers and potential voters. Additionally, policies are identified that would eliminate administrative hurdles placed on voters and shift the burden of facilitating democratic elections to the State. Findings from this study highlight the widening structural barriers and administrative burdens that are inhibiting a straightforward process for voting and detail potential policy solutions.","PeriodicalId":267360,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanities & Social Sciences","volume":"231 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133753820","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}

Accordingly, the study concluded on the central hypothesis that “There is an effective correlation between religious and political thought in the West and among Arabs and Muslims, and between the application of the concept and tools of social justice.” The study used both the descriptive analysis and the quantitative legal approaches when dealing with theoretical issues of social justice, whether in Arab and Muslim thought or the Western world. The study reviews all of the foundations, tools, and characteristics, in addition to the problems, challenges, and variables facing the Arab world to achieve “social justice.” The study concluded with several results, including that social justice is apparent in the theoretical concept of decision-making centers and society, regardless of its multiple vocabularies, whether in Western or Islamic thought. Still, the challenge remains in the application tools, and they will approach to enhance the public interest.","PeriodicalId":267360,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanities & Social Sciences","volume":"141 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126947780","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}
