Abstract: The aim of this investigation was to explore the existence of Inclusive Education in South Africa and other parts of the world, where Inclusive Education is offered. Inclusive Education holds the view that all children should have equal opportunity in their education. This is meant that the so called normal children should attend school together with those who in the past were confined to schools for special needs children. This being a new idea at the time; it was rather a controversial matter in most communities. This Paper examines such controversy and how it has been handled to convince all those concerned. The resist to Education continues being a reality; though some progress is being made.

Abstract: It must be noted that ‘common sense suggests that the behaviours Piaget describes are necessary steps on the road to understanding Western European science, mathematics and technology. This is probably the most important aspect of Piaget’s theory to those of us who have been entrusted with the responsibility of preparing African children for their rightful place in an emerging modern society. This Paper aims at describing the application of Piaget’ theory of cognitive development to teaching and learning in a classroom setting. As teachers, our responsibility is to enhance and facilitate children’s cognitive development in keeping with the view that Piaget’s theory has made a major impact on education. This is vitally important, given that what children learn in school subjects is closely related to the concepts postulated by Piaget. A strong argument could be made for Piaget’s theory having definite relevance to education in that a child is perceived as someone who is not only an active discoverer, but also an inventor and a problem solver. Piaget views the goal of education as to create people with the ability to be creative, inventive and discovers rather than people who constantly reflect the ideas of others.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the effect on the production performances and carcass characteristics of local broiler chickens of replacing corn with cull dates from agro-food industries in oasis zones and of complementing this with rumen content extract from sheep abattoirs in the chickens� feed rations. A total of 200 male and female day-old chicks of local stock, with an average weight of 25�2 g, were divided randomly into 4 groups of 50 individuals, each group distinguished by the respective rate of substitution of corn by cull dates (0 %, 20 %, 30 % and 40 %) for a period of 48 days. Each group was divided into ten (10) packages of 05 subjects. The live weights after 48 days improved for all experimental groups, recording an increase of + 162 g (20 %) ; + 82 g (30 %) and + 31 g (40 %). All of the characteristics remained unchanged for all groups with the exception of liver weight, which was lower in the experimental groups. Substituting 40% of the corn by culls dates while adding 250 ml rumen content extract per kilogramme of broiler chicken feed increased the live weight and average daily gain.

Abstract: Beneficial microorganisms inhabiting different soils and plants are important determinants of soil fertility and plant health. Nitrogen-fixing rhizobia well known for symbiosis with leguminous crops is of crucial importance in organic farming. Besides being plant growth- promotion, rhizobia can also inhibit fungal pathogens. The antagonistic activities of 4 rhizobia isolates were tested in vitro in dual culture by concact and in vivo under greenhouse conditions against Fusarium oxysporum, the causal agent of Fusarium wilt. In dual culture, the 4 isolates inhibited the mycelial growth of the pathogen more than 60 % and the most effective were EP1 and EP72, which inhibited fungal growth more than 90 %. The four isolates viz. HBA1, EP1, SP32 and EP72 decreased significantly the disease index more than 60 % and increased peanut dry matter in greenhouse. The best protection against disease was obtained with isolates EP72, which reduced the percentage of wilted plants to less than 14 %. This study demonstrated e?ective biological control by the tested rhizobial isolates. More extensive studies are required to identify the native isolates of Rhizobium spp. and Bradyrhizobium spp. with dual functionality traits as biofertilizer as well as biocontrol of soilborne diseases agent for sustainable production of groundnut in South of Algeria.

NEW TRENDS AND CONSEQUENCES OF EMIGRATION FROM TAJIKISTAN TO OECD COUNTRIES

Abstract: The article discusses the trends and strategies of labor emigration from Tajikistan to OECD countries. Waves and types of emigration from Tajikistan, adaptation of emigrants from Tajikistan to OECD countries.As well as the migration policy of the OECD countries in relation to immigrants from Tajikistan. Tajik labor migrants are becoming increasingly brighter than the prospect of getting a job not only in the CIS countries, but also in Europe, Asia and North America, where working conditions are better, and wages are much higher than in Russia and Kazakhstan. The OECD countries can rightfully be considered as new directions of Tajik emigration. An important feature of the tendency and strategy of labor emigration as a result of our research would be to note the combination of educational and vocational qualifications, resettlement and seasonal labor, labor migration - mostly unskilled and skilled with retraining and internship of labor migration from Tajikistan. Adaptation of immigrants is accompanied by some difficulties. The main one is job searches, which usually take several months. For the most part, the emigrants of Tajikistan consider Eastern Europe and Greece as countries of temporary residence, their main goal being moving to Western Europe (Austria, Germany, Scandinavian countries, etc.). There are cases of intentional destruction of their passports by Tajik migrants when they move to Germany with subsequent appeal to the authorities under the guise of refugees from Afghanistan, since both Tajiks and Afghans speak Farsi (Dari) to receive refugee status and corresponding benefits in Germany. In the OECD countries, new Tajik communities are being formed, which may become, in the near future, networks of attraction for new migrants from Tajikistan.

Abstract: Stipa tenacissima L. (S. tenacissima), may be subject to various constraints that cause increasing degradation of Algerian steppes colonized by these important pastoral species. Understanding its responses to abiotic conditions can be useful for steppes sustainable development. At Laghouat Province in two sites under two bioclimates, semi-arid and arid, and during autumn and spring, we analyzed biometric and physiological parameters of S.tenacissima. We measured S.tenacissima clumps volume, and on its fresh leaves measurements of water content, total chlorophyll, soluble sugars and proline were performed. For both sites we carried out a climatic synthesis and physicochemical soil analysis.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nSoils are light textured sands> 63%, alkaline pH>7,8, moderately calcareous CaCO3<8%, non saline Electrical Conductivity<0,6 dS/m, and have organic matter content of <0,35%. Depending on bioclimate type, Aridity Index are 0,26 and 0,06. S.tenacissima clump volumes are >1,38m3. In the leaves of the plant, water contents are <17,5%.Contents of total chlorophyll, soluble sugars and proline are variable depending on bioclimate and season, their respective intervals are:1,1- 2,1mg/g FM; 14,58- 80,6mg/g FM; and 10-6- 2,10-3mmol/g FM. The findings show that S.tenacissima develops osmoregulatory mechanism by seasonal fluctuations of stress parameters that allow it resist to variations of environmental conditions. Relatively, high content of proline with low content of water are observed in autumn under the arid bioclimate. Responses to variations in abiotic conditions, suggest, that S.tenacissima better tolerates conditions under the semi arid bioclimate, and is constrained in autumn under the arid bioclimate. S.tenacissima is not promising with increase of aridity and drought.

Abstract: To improve the state and plant resistance to salinity which is our objective in this study, we worked on fertilization in salted medium. The experiment comprises two doses of phosphorus P1, P2 and four doses of potassium K0, K1, K2, K3 while using two levels of water salinity S1 and S2. The experiment is carried out in pots of vegetation with a durum wheat culture. The experimental device applied is �split-plot comprising 16 treatments and 3 repetitions. The results show that salinity has a significant effect on the reduction of growth and yield of plant; however the fertilizer has contributed to the improvement of aptitudes of plant in salted medium. The phosphoric fertilization played a very important role, the highest dose P2 gave good results of growth, yield of grain, yield of straw and the weight of 1000 grains. However the potash contribution has a less clear effect, but it is noted that the weak and medium dose K1 and K2 are the best with regard to some parameters under the conditions of our experiment. Concerning the content of grains of phosphorus, we noticed that the highest contents are recorded in the most saline treatments. Besides, the treatments having received the dose P2 present sodium contents of grains weaker than those having received the dose P1, this shows the importance of phosphorus under these conditions. It seems that the fertilization in saline condition ensures a favorable nutritional medium against the aggressiveness of salinity.

Abstract: Worldwide, education for the deaf is punctuated with communication philosophy controversies. Whereas the monolingual- biased oral philosophy has dominated the education of the deaf in Zimbabwe for decades, debate on use of alternative pedagogies of communication opened up recently. This article provides an overview of the research into deaf learners’ bilingual education in a science class. The researchers employed a critical disabilities study approach within the qualitative paradigm to collect focus group interview data from the teachers at a primary school in Zimbabwe and analyzed the data using theme identification methods. The results show the positive effect of deaf bilingual education. This pedagogical approach gives the deaf learner the opportunity to learn and use sign language together with another language in the science classroom. According to the present study, a bilingual approach grants the deaf learner access to the curriculum in whichever language is most accessible to them in an environment that values deafness, sign language and deaf culture
