Abstract: This research departs from the importance of Shallot agricultural products as a horticultural commodity with high economic value in Indonesia, in the West Nusa Tenggara area, especially in East Lombok Regency. However, shallot farmers in this area face various challenges in marketing, such as limited access, dependence on middlemen, and low bargaining position of farmers. This prompted the author to analyze the performance of the shallot market in East Lombok Regency in order to provide efficient recommendations to improve farmers' welfare.

The main problem studied is how the shallot marketing channel is structured, marketing behavior occurs, and the level of marketing efficiency in various shallot marketing distribution channels in East Lombok Regency. To answer this problem, the research used a descriptive-quantitative analysis approach by collecting primary data through direct interviews with farmers and traders, as well as analyzing secondary data from related sources to quantitative research data.

The research methodology used in this research is a descriptive method. The descriptive method is a research method that attempts to describe a symptom, event, incident occurring now.

The results of this research area. Farmers - Collectors - Wholesalers - Retailers with a volume of 33,540 kg, b. Farmers – Collectors – Retailers with a volume of 44,400 kg, c. Farmers – Wholesalers – Retailers with a volume of 45,700 kg and d. Farmers – Retailers with a volume of 16,380 kg. While the marketing function of shallots can be carried out by farmers, collectors, wholesalers and retailers, farmers carry out the marketing function of sales, marketing costs and risk bearing costs, market information. Collectors carry out marketing, purchasing, sales, transportation, storage, standardization/sorting, marketing costs, risk bearing and market information functions. Wholesalers carry out the functions of marketing, purchasing, selling, transportation, storage, standardization/ sorting, marketing costs, risk bearing, and market information. Retailers perform marketing, purchasing, selling, risk bearing and market information functions. Meanwhile, the most efficient channel is the IV channel (from farmers directly to retailers).

Abstract: Pringgabaya District is one of the cayenne pepper producing districts in East Lombok Regency. In general, farmers grow cayenne pepper using surface irrigation, but here some of the farmers who farm cayenne pepper using paid water pump irrigation. The existence of irrigation costs causes additional input costs compared to farming that uses surface irrigation. This research aims to: (1) Analyze the costs and income of Cayenne Pepper Farming on Pumped Water Irrigation Farms in Pringgabaya District, (2) Analyze the Efficiency of Using Cayenne Pepper Farming Inputs on Pumped Water Irrigation Farms in Pringgabaya District. The research method used is descriptive research method. The number of respondents was 30 farmers. The types of data used are qualitative data and quantitative data. The data collection technique was carried out using the survey method. The research results show that: (1) The average production costs incurred are IDR 18,897,381/LLG or IDR 39,924,043/Ha. Meanwhile, the farmer's income is Rp. 26,148,786/LLG or Rp. 55,243,914/Ha, (2) The production factor of area of cultivated land, number of seeds and use of Antracol pesticide has an Efficiency value (NPMxi/Pxi) > 1, which means Not Yet Efficient. Meanwhile, Urea fertilizer, NPK Phonska fertilizer, Prevathon pesticide, the amount of water used, and the use of labor have an efficiency value (NPMxi/Pxi) < 1, which means it is not efficient.

Abstract: This study examined the relationship between sustainable agricultural practices and food security in Nyagatare District of Rwanda, focusing on organic farming, agroforestry, conservation tillage, and irrigation. Aiming to empower farmers with climate-resilient practices and aid policymakers in developing eco-friendly policies, it also aimed to inform efforts against soil erosion and deforestation. Targeting 7,085 farmers, with 379 respondents selected through stratified and convenience sampling. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS IBM version 23.0. The findings revealed high adoption of organic farming practices, such as crop rotation and composting, which positively correlated with food security (Spearman's rho = 0.614, p < 0.01). Agroforestry practices, including fruit tree planting and alley cropping, also showed a positive correlation with food security (Spearman's rho = 0.486, p < 0.01) despite moderate engagement levels. Conservation tillage practices, such as no tillage and cover cropping, strongly correlated with food security (Spearman's rho = 0.569, p < 0.01). Similarly, irrigation practices, like drip and sprinkler irrigation, positively affected food security (Spearman's rho = 0.418, p < 0.01). Overall, sustainable agricultural practices exhibited a strong positive correlation with food security (Spearman's rho = 0.586, p < 0.01). The study emphasized the need for thorough research to understand specific challenges faced by farmers, such as financial limitations and lack of information, to design targeted interventions. Suggested efforts included microcredit schemes, expanding agricultural extension services, and promoting community engagement programs.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to determine whether the modular teaching strategies utilized at Subic Central School and the learners’ health skills are related in any way. A summative test was given to grade 4 pupils to assess their academic progress in understanding the characteristics of infectious illnesses, recognizing the agents of communicable diseases, and identifying practices and personal habits in the prevention and control of communicable diseases. Learners at Subic Central School were able to describe and recognize the agents of communicable illnesses to a satisfactory level. They possess very high levels of proficiency in their routines and individual habits for stopping the transmission of contagious illnesses. Overall, the learners’ levels of health knowledge are all extremely good. The researcher draws the conclusion from the data that there is a significant positive correlation between modular teaching methods and the students’ health skills in terms of teaching methodologies.

Abstract: This research seeks to propose a curriculum framework that can serve as a guide for higher education institutions (HEIs) in developing their sign language interpretation programs. This is in response to the increasing demand for professional sign language interpreters in the Philippines [12]. Purposive sampling was utilized to target twenty participants who are involved as sign language interpreters, trainers, faculty members, Deaf community representatives, and school administrators and/or directors involved in sign language interpreting (SLI) education. SLI training varies and is usually offered by either HEIs or private, non-Commission on Higher Education (CHED) accredited institutions. Six themes emerged from this study which include sign variations, practicum and internship programs, lack of qualified sign language trainers to teach in HEIs, learning resources and facilities, national standards based on the Philippine Qualifications Framework, and local and international linkages. All data collected, including the criteria and expectations from the Deaf Community, are considered in the crafting of the proposed SLI curriculum framework in Philippine tertiary education. The said curriculum framework has undergone initial validation from the respondents who are experts in SLI training education. The recommendations of this study are very significant to regulate and professionalize this field of study.

Keywords: curriculum framework, sign language interpretation, tertiary education, Deaf education.
