This systematic review aimed at exploring Confucius' thoughts and influence on moral education in China. The study results show that ancient Chinese educational thoughts of moral education could be said to have three dimensions: goal, main contents, and teaching methods described in this paper. An analysis of the key elements of Confucius' educational thought's on moral education reveals that the purpose of moral education in ancient China was to cultivate a totally virtuous individual ('Junzi')., while as the concept of benevolence ('Ren') is considered the foundation of Confucius' moral, educational thoughts, while the concept of etiquette ('Li') is the external form of 'Ren.' Both of them are fundamental to Confucius' ideas on moral education. Confucius' moral education includes numerous teaching approaches, such as self-cultivating, individual instruction, enlightenment, and practice, which are presented in this paper. Furthermore, this paper concludes by arguing that Confucius's educational thoughts on moral education provide a significant reference for contemporary education in todays' China and has enduring value for research and practice in contemporary moral education in the 21st century.

This study aimed to explore teachers' perceptions and practices in professional development (PD) activities and the impact of PD on their professional growth. A descriptive mixed-method design was utilized, and the study sample of seven hundred (700) respondents from four primary schools was selected randomly. The results indicate that the program is charming and perfectly designed for the professional development of Zambian teachers; however, there are many flaws in the various steps of the program's implementation, which seem to fail PD activities in teacher training, as the transfer of exercise was found to be very ineffective. The results show that teachers perceived PD as being significant because it improves the teacher's pedagogical knowledge, teaching skills, and updating content knowledge. The results show that the predominant PD practices in schools were workshops, in-service training, and continuing learning. This study argues that PD enhances teachers' pedagogical knowledge, content knowledge, and career growth.

Sea buckthorn pomace (SBP), an agro-industrial waste, containing useful nutrition compounds for animal production. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of growth performance and serum metabolisms in growing pig when consumed SBP. A total of 40 crossbred 70-day-old growing pig with initial body weight (IBW; 30 ±1.5 kg) were randomly assigned to 4 groups. The pigs were fed dietary supplementation of SBP (0.0%, 0.5, 1.5%, and 2.0 %) for 30 d. It concluded that the appropriate level of 1.5% SBP supplementation could improve pig growth performance. Serum immune and antioxidant indexes performed best in 1.5% SBP supplementation group. We suggested that the appropriate level of SBP supplementation would be 1.5% for growing pig, which could improve their growth performance, serum immune and antioxidant indexes.
