The Degree of Using Authentic Evaluation by International Schools Teachers in the Middle Schools from Their Viewpoint in Aljama ‘a District

This study aimed to identify the degree of using of authentic evaluation by teachers of international schools in the middle school from the viewpoint of the teachers themselves in Aljama ‘a district. The study used the descriptive approach, through the development of the study tool, which is a questionnaire consisting of 50 paragraphs distributed in (5) fields, after confirming its sincerity and consistency. The sample of the study consisted of 360 male and female teachers of the middle school, who were chosen from international schools in Aljama ‘a district. The results of the study showed that the degree of use of international school teachers to realistic evaluation in the middle school from the point of view of the teachers themselves was high, as it showed the presence of a statistically significant difference in the degree of use of international school teachers due to the gender variable in favor of females, and the absence of a statistically significant difference attributed to the variable (experience) and the interaction between the two variables (gender and experience), and the absence of statistically significant differences attributed to the variable for academic specialization. The study suggested several recommendations, the most important of which is to enhance and encourage teachers to use realistic evaluation as an alternative to traditional evaluation because it has a great impact in increasing the interaction between the teacher and the student and thus increasing the desired results from the education process.

Productivity and Meat Quality with Meat Goat Management

The growth of kid meat goats and their carcass and meat characteristics with monensin sodium or decoquinate coccidiostats in feed were studied. Seventy-three goats of various breeds were divided into six groups with the treatments of control, monensin and decoquinate. Half of the goats were harvested at day 45 and the rest at day 60. The second harvest monensin group had a larger percentage of the goat carcass as the hind leg (P Supplementation of permanent pasture with sunn hemp forage or concentrate feed were compared for influences on growth, carcass traits, and meat properties of kid meat goats. Goats that were finished on concentrate had a heavier dressing percentage and heavier cuts (P Type of packaging alters the color and shelf life of meat during retail display. The M. Longissimus dorsi of 24 goat carcasses were randomly assigned to treatments of air-permeable and moisture-impermeable overwrap, vacuum, or nitrite embedded film packaging for 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 days of retail display. The muscles in nitrite embedded film had greater a* values indicating a brighter red color. Muscles in vacuum packaging with conventional or nitrite embedded film had lower rates of lipid oxidation at Day 12 (

Ensaios sobre relatórios de biodiversidade na contabilidade

Over the years, biodiversity reporting has received increasing interest due to its importance in understanding our environmental impact. The loss of biodiversity has garnered attention from the accounting academic community, especially where accounting for biodiversity is of concern. Considering the present research gap on biodiversity accounting, this thesis aims to investigate companies' biodiversity accounting reporting practices to address the looming threat of biodiversity loss faced by the world. The first essay carried out a bibliometric analysis of emerging and relevant publications on biodiversity reporting in accounting. This study synthesized previous works of literature on biodiversity reporting in accounting using bibliometric analysis and covering the period of 1996-2023. The data was collected using Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases to ascertain the publications, countries, authors, keywords, and journals that have contributed to the body of knowledge. VOSviewer and Biblioshiny were both used as visual output for ascertaining relevant data points and interpretations. The findings showed that biodiversity reporting in accounting is still an emerging topic, with continued maturing interests. This study concluded by highlighting the main trends in research on biodiversity reporting and offered potential opportunities for future research on this research topic. The second essay examined the biodiversity reporting practices of the top 100 manufacturing companies within the European Union (EU). This study used content analysis to explore and investigate the disclosure themes in the sustainability (and its equivalents) reports for the period of 2019-2021. The results showed that reporting on biodiversity is still limited but nascent. There has been an increased reporting on biodiversity from 2019 to 2021 - during the COVID-19 pandemic - with more uptake in disclosures from the sampled companies. Contrary to expectations, companies with larger operating revenue within the sample did not demonstrate significant reporting compared to those trailing in operating revenue. To the best of our knowledge, this study was the first to explore biodiversity reporting and disclosure practices of the manufacturing sector in the EU. The findings contributed to the discussion on biodiversity reporting practices, especially in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results are helpful for policymakers, academic researchers, and stakeholders seeking to promote biodiversity reporting in organisations. The third essay explored the corporate reports published by companies to investigate the extent of species disclosures by the top Fortune Global companies. This study used content analysis to explore and investigate the level of species disclosures in the reports for the reporting year of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic era, by the top 250 Fortune Global companies. The results revealed that species reporting still needs to be improved by the top companies across different regions and sectors. Furthermore, the companies' reports were found to be riddled with preferences for highly charismatic and popular species aligning with the impression management theory. Moreover, the results showed a positive correlation between companies from high biodiversity risk sectors and the extent of species published within the reports. The findings contributed to the discussion on biodiversity reporting practices, especially in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the importance of businesses working with the environment to prevent species extinction.Ao longo dos anos, os relatórios sobre a biodiversidade têm recebido um interesse crescente devido à sua importância na compreensão do nosso impacto ambiental. A perda de biodiversidade tem atraído a atenção da comunidade académica da contabilidade, especialmente quando a contabilização da biodiversidade é motivo de preocupação. Considerando a presente lacuna de pesquisa sobre contabilidade da biodiversidade, esta tese tem como objetivo investigar as práticas de relatórios contábeis de biodiversidade das empresas para abordar a ameaça iminente de perda de biodiversidade enfrentada pelo mundo. O primeiro ensaio realizou uma análise bibliométrica de publicações emergentes e relevantes sobre relatórios de biodiversidade na contabilidade. Este estudo sintetizou trabalhos anteriores da literatura sobre o relato da biodiversidade na contabilidade utilizando análise bibliométrica e abrangendo o período de 1996-2023. Os dados foram coletados por meio das bases de dados Scopus e Web of Science (WoS) para verificar as publicações, países, autores, palavras-chave e periódicos que contribuíram para o corpo de conhecimento. VOSviewer e Biblioshiny foram usados como saída visual para determinar pontos de dados e interpretações relevantes. Os resultados mostraram que o relato da biodiversidade na contabilidade ainda é um tópico emergente, com interesses contínuos de amadurecimento. Este estudo concluiu destacando as principais tendências da investigação sobre a comunicação de informações sobre a biodiversidade e ofereceu oportunidades potenciais para investigação futura sobre este tópico de investigação. O segundo ensaio examinou as práticas de elaboração de relatórios sobre biodiversidade das 100 maiores empresas transformadoras da União Europeia (UE). Este estudo utilizou a análise de conteúdo para explorar e investigar os temas de divulgação nos relatórios de sustentabilidade (e seus equivalentes) para o período de 2019-2021. Os resultados mostraram que a comunicação de informações sobre a biodiversidade ainda é limitada, mas incipiente. Houve um aumento nos relatórios sobre biodiversidade de 2019 para 2021 - durante a pandemia de COVID-19 - com mais aceitação nas divulgações das empresas amostradas. Contrariamente às expectativas, as empresas com maiores receitas operacionais dentro da amostra não demonstraram reporte significativo em comparação com as que ficaram atrás na receita operacional. Tanto quanto é do nosso conhecimento, este estudo foi o primeiro a explorar as práticas de comunicação e divulgação da biodiversidade do setor transformador na UE. Os resultados contribuíram para a discussão sobre as práticas de comunicação de biodiversidade, especialmente na era da pandemia de COVID-19. Os resultados são úteis para os decisores políticos, investigadores académicos e partes interessadas que procuram promover a elaboração de relatórios sobre biodiversidade nas organizações. O terceiro ensaio explorou os relatórios corporativos publicados por empresas para investigar a extensão das divulgações de espécies pelas principais empresas da Fortune Global. Este estudo usou a análise de conteúdo para explorar e investigar o nível de divulgações de espécies nos relatórios para o ano de relatório de 2020, a era da pandemia de COVID-19, pelas 250 principais empresas da Fortune Global. Os resultados revelaram que a comunicação de espécies ainda precisa de ser melhorada pelas principais empresas em diferentes regiões e setores. Além disso, verificou-se que os relatórios das empresas estavam repletos de preferências por espécies altamente carismáticas e populares, alinhadas com a teoria da gestão de impressões. Além disso, os resultados mostraram uma correlação positiva entre empresas de setores de alto risco de biodiversidade e a extensão das espécies publicadas nos relatórios. Os resultados contribuíram para a discussão sobre práticas de relatórios de biodiversidade, especialmente na era da pandemia de COVID-19, e a importância de as empresas trabalharem com o meio ambiente para evitar a extinção de espécies.Programa Doutoral em Contabilidad
