Authors: Gouthami M. , Akhila M. , Kaushika P. , Kanth D. Rohith , Kolli Srinivas
Published: July 2023

Elderly persons and patients with chronic illnesses are mostly affected by the pandemic disease Covid which also claims lives. It has terrible implications on daily living, public health, and the global economy. Finding positive examples as soon as feasible is difficult. There are only a certain amount of covid test kits available because of the daily rise in cases. Implementing an autonomous detection system as a speedy alternative diagnosis option is essential to stopping the future spread of this epidemic and to treating afflicted persons as soon as possible. Combining radiological imaging with the use of cutting-edge AI tools can be beneficial for the precise diagnosis of this illness and can also help distant areas who lack expert medical care to find a solution. In this project, we have used double deep neural networks to develop an automatic detection of Covid (Convolutional-Neural-Network model, VGG-16 model). Covid chest X-rays will be used as the history data. It will be determined whether the chestX-ray image is covid positive or covid negative.
Are they similar or are they same origin, Persian language and Korean language? (0132-0144)
Authors: Kim Sangdeog Augustin
Published: July 2023

French missionary Dallet (1874) wrote in his book that Korean language and Chinse language is really different. Several researchers studied the similar relation between Persian language and Korean language (Park et al., 2019; Kim and Park, 2022). And now, the present researcher tried to know if there is close relation between Korean language and Persian language. The present researcher selected several Persian words randomly, and compared them with Korean words. The researcher used the Dictionary of Persian/French and French/Persian (Bau, 2008) in order to study the relation between Korean language and Persian language. The title is ‘Are they similar or are they same origin, Persian language and Korean language? (0132-0144)’. The present researcher tried to compare 13 Persian words with Korean words. And the results obtained here is described as follows.  0132 Gozashita (passed thing, before) Ggoza-eoss-da (I have stabbed, pinned, stuck) 0133 Gor (tomb) Golo-ganda (He or she is going to die, toward death) 0134 Gozar (passage for the river, for road) Gosat (a narrow alley, a small road in the village) 0135 Yunani (Greek, of Greece) Yunan-eul-ddeolda (make a big deal (out of), specially) 0136 Doxtar (daughter, girl) Ddog ddeol-eo-zyeo-yo (It was fallen as a present suddenly.) 0137 Hafez (The person who can memorize Koran) Yeobo! (Calling each other by husband and wife) 0138-1 Pomi (large) Gippeumi (A person who gives joy to others) 0138-2 Pomi (large) Yeppeumi (A person who is beautiful) 0139-1 Panah gah (refuge) Pinan ga! (You, take your refuge!) 0139-2 Panah gah (refuge) Pihae ga! (You, escape from here!) 0140 Awi (Look at the thing!) Ayu! (Oh!) 0141 Hawi (I am afraid of the thing!) Huyu! (I am afraid of the thing!) 0142 Ajala (Make haste!) Ap-zil-leo (You, become faster than others!) 0143 Amma (but, at any case) Omma (My mother! No, it is not such a thing!) 0144 Shora (meeting) Seora (You, stop!) From this study, it is considered that there is a close relationship between Persian language and Korean language.
Reading Mahasweta Devi’s Aranyer Adhikar Ecocritically
Authors: Ahmed Iftakhar
Published: July 2023

The novel Aranyer Adhikar by Mahasweta Devi is well-known due to its highbrow status of ecological consciousness. This study tries to scrutinize the novel Aranyer Adhikar from an ecocritical perspective. The researcher has deployed a close textual analysis approach to conduct this qualitative study. This novel incorporates and highlights the political struggles of the “de-notified” Munda tribes of India based on ecology. Ecocriticism challenges the anthropocentric attitude of human beings. The Indian Munda tribes relinquish their land due to the anthropocentric attitude of the colonizers and the local authorities. They have suffered environmental ruination as a consequence of colonial violence and exploitation. Moreover, the tribals face the threat of losing the traditional household wisdom of living pleasantly with nature. Additionally, in Aranyer Adhikar, Devi brings out the sufferings of the different tribes, such as Kol and Santhals, who have been socio-politically pauperized by the loss of forest land. It can be pointed out that Aranyer Adhikar is about striving for the social, economic and political freedom of the different tribes in India. Substantially, Mahasweta Devi records the “voices of tribal history” and offers “striking narratives” of the tribal rights over the forest

Authors: Salihoun Mouna , Merzouk Soumaya , Serraj Ilham , Acharki Mohamed , Kabbaj Nawal
Published: July 2023

Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL) is a rare disorder in children and it is more exceptional in adults. PIL is caused by a diffuse or localized dilatation and/or rupture of intestinal lymphatic vessels in the mucosa, submucosa, or subserosa due to high pressure in lymphatic vessels. The diagnosis is made on clinical grounds with the support of small bowel biopsies. The following report present a case of intestinal lymphangiectasia revealed by capsule endoscopy examination. This work shows that standard EGD and colonoscopy may miss characteristic lesions of PIL, and capsule endoscopy (or enteroscopy) may be required for the diagnosis because lesions are typically located in distal duodenum/jejunoileum.
LA GRATITUD A LA FAMILIA COMO EXPRESIÓN DEL BUEN VIVIR EN ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS DEL ANDE PERUANO
Authors: Aragón Cruz Walker Ernesto , Yucra Mamani Yudi Janeh
Published: July 2023

En el mundo andino, la vida en comunidad es una de las manifestaciones culturales más importantes, donde la gratitud -dentro de su cosmovisión- es una práctica ancestral denominada “ayni”, esta expresa varias connotaciones, una de ellas es el “buen vivir” o “allin kawsay” que fueron inculcados desde el seno familiar, tal es el caso de los estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional del Altiplano de Puno (UNA-Puno) que aún practican estas costumbres. El objetivo de estudio es analizar la gratitud hacia la familia como expresión del buen vivir de los estudiantes universitarios del ande peruano. Se recurre a la investigación de enfoque cualitativo, métodos fenomenológico y etnográfico, con diseño no experimental de corte transversal, se ejecutaron 339 entrevistas semiestructuradas a estudiantes provincianos de la UNA - Puno. Se aplicó el modelo de reducción de datos cualitativos (edición, categorización y codificación, registro y tabulación), permitiendo obtener diferentes versiones, testimonios y opiniones de gratitud de los universitarios hacia sus familias. Se concluye que la gratitud -como filosofía del buen vivir- está arraigada a la importancia de vivir en familia; el no decepcionar a sus padres es una motivación para salir adelante como reconocimiento al sacrificio y esfuerzo que reciben por brindarles mejores oportunidades de vida; que incluso a pesar de sus desaciertos reciben el apoyo incondicional, es por ello que expresan su admiración y agradecimiento, no sólo a sus padres sino a toda su familia (hermanos, abuelos, tíos y hasta padrinos). Finalmente, el hecho de terminar sus estudios superiores para ser buenos profesionales es un acto de reciprocidad hacia sus seres queridos y comunidad
Comparative Analysis of Contract Farming Effect on Technical Efficiency of Broiler Chicken Farms in Indonesia
Authors: Junaidi Efri
Published: July 2023

The development of broiler chicken farms in Indonesia has taken two forms, namely non-contract and contract farming. This study aimed to compare the technical efficiency levels of production in these two types of farming in Banten Province, Indonesia. Data were collected randomly from 180 broiler chicken farmers, consisting of 103 non-contract and 77 contract farmers. The study used the stochastic frontier production function to meet its objectives. The results showed that non-contract broiler chicken farmers were less efficient in their production than those under contract. The mean technical efficiency of the production factor for non-contract broiler chicken farmers was 0.689, ranging from 0.339 to 0.996. On the contrary, broiler chicken farmers under contract had a higher mean efficiency value of 0.893, ranging from 0.638 to 0.988. Moreover, the type of input supplier had a significant positive effect on technical inefficiency in non-contract farms. Non-contract farmers who purchased their production needs from a poultry shop showed higher technical efficiency compared to those who used distributors. This research sheds light on the efficiency of broiler chicken farms, both non-contract and contract, enabling all stakeholders, including the government, to devise appropriate policies for the development of broiler chicken farming. The study provided valuable insights into the technical efficiency levels of broiler chicken farming in Indonesia, which can help farmers identify areas that need improvement and develop strategies to increase productivity and profitability.

Published: July 2023

Objek jaminan fidusia sering digunakan dalam transaksi keuangan untuk memberikan keamanan kepada kreditur dalam hal pembayaran hutang oleh debitur. Namun, terkadang situasi muncul di mana debitur tidak dapat memenuhi kewajiban pembayaran mereka, dan kreditur menggunakan jaminan fidusia untuk menagih hutang secara paksa melalui juru tagih (debt collector). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis perlindungan hukum yang diberikan kepada debitur dalam situasi di mana objek jaminan fidusia diambil paksa oleh juru tagih. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi literatur dan analisis normatif dari peraturan perundang-undangan terkait. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam banyak yurisdiksi, ada ketentuan yang mengatur proses pengambilan paksa objek jaminan fidusia, yang melibatkan persyaratan tertentu yang harus dipenuhi oleh kreditur dan juru tagih. Perlindungan hukum bagi debitur terhadap objek jaminan fidusia yang diambil paksa oleh juru tagih meliputi beberapa aspek. Kesimpulannya, perlindungan hukum bagi debitur terhadap objek jaminan fidusia yang diambil paksa oleh juru tagih adalah penting untuk memastikan bahwa hak-hak debitur tetap terlindungi dalam proses penagihan hutang. Dengan adanya aturan dan mekanisme yang jelas, debitur dapat mengajukan keberatan jika ada pelanggaran atau perlakuan yang tidak pantas. Namun, penting juga untuk terus memperbarui peraturan yang ada agar perlindungan hukum bagi debitur semakin memadai.

The Named Data Network (NDN) is a future network concept that addresses some of the issues present in the current internet architecture. One of the main advantages of NDN is the use of content caching at each router, enabling faster and more efficient data access. As internet network technology develops, the demand for video content continues to increase every year. Therefore, video optimization and delivery require high access speeds so that clients can run content from the server seamlessly. This research incorporates NDN-DPDK (Named Data Network-DData Plane Development Kit), which is designed as hardware acceleration, and uses NDN's default forwarder, Network Forwarding Daemon (NFD), which allows a wide variety of experiments with NDN architecture. The implementation and analysis of video streaming performance will use Quality of Service (QoS) parameters such as RTT, throughput, and startup delay to measure the quality of video streaming on the network side. In addition, CPU measurements are made on the router closest to the client to evaluate the traffic load required by the forwarder to transmit data. The results of implementation and analysis in this study obtained video streaming quality on the second accessor with an RTT time of 4 seconds, throughput above 0.4 MBps, a video startup delay of 8 seconds, and 100% CPU usage.

Published: July 2023

O objetivo do estudo foi verificar o perfil da composição corporal, somatotipo e aptidão física de jovens jogadores de futebol por posição de jogo. Foram avaliados 23 jogadores do sexo masculino da categoria sub-20. O somatotipo foi calculado pelo método antropométrico e a composição corporal foi estimada por meio da impedância bioelétrica. Para a análise da aptidão física foram realizados os testes de potência de membros inferiores, agilidade, velocidade, resistência abdominal e aptidão aeróbia. Análise de variância (one-way) foi realizada para comparação entre as posições, seguido do post-hoc de Tukey. Para os dados não paramétricos o teste de Kruskal-Wallis foi realizado para comparar posições de jogo. Os zagueiros e atacantes são mais pesados e com maior quantidade de massa corporal magra (MCM) em relação aos meias e laterais, além disso, os zagueiros são mais altos do que os demais jogadores. O somatotipo médio dos jogadores foi de 2,6-3,7-3,3 (ectomesomorfo), não foram encontradas diferenças entre as posições de jogo (p>0,05). Por fim, atletas de meio campo e laterais foram mais rápidos do que os goleiros e zagueiros (p<0,05), não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre as posições estudadas para as demais variáveis da aptidão física. Conclui-se que zagueiros e atacantes apresentam vantagens nas variáveis antropométricas, porém, meias e laterais são mais rápidos. O somatotipo do grupo de jogadores foi o ectomesomorfo.

Authors: Ribeiro Luana dos Santos , Triani Felipe da Silva
Published: July 2023

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar um ponto de vista sobre o protagonismo da Educação Física Escolar no combate a obesidade. A revisão apresenta alguns fatores que contribuem para essa problemática multifatorial, dentre eles se encontram a atividade física reduzida, o excesso de tempo frente aos aparelhos tecnológicos, distúrbios psicológicos e alimentação irregular, elementos que são adquiridos já na infância e que a Educação Física, por meio da conscientização para a saúde, pode contribuir na minimização desse processo. Portanto embora as aulas de Educação Física não sejam suficientes em termos do combate direto à obesidade, seu protagonismo se apresenta em termos conceituais e atitudinais, na medida em que cria espaço dentro das aulas para debater a temática da obesidade e motivar a consciência crítica para que as crianças e adolescentes repensem os hábitos de atividade física.

Published: July 2023

Dementia is an incessant neurodegenerative disease that to a degree influences millions of people around the world. Alzheimer’s disease is a major reason for dementia, a term for the decline of memory and cognition, severe enough to impact everyday human performance. According to various studies, Alzheimer’s disease has been found to account for 60 to 80% of dementia cases. Alzheimer’s disease consists of 7 stages with different indicators. As the stage progresses, the patient’s condition worsens over time and the dependency on the caregivers also increase. In this work, an Android application to provide a virtual guide for people with dementia and make tasks easier for caregivers is developed. This application will provide several features such as Family and Relationship information, Location Tracking using the Android location provider API, medication and exercise reminders with the alarm manager class, memory quizzes, and music therapy using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). The novelty of this application is the connection with volunteers in the vicinity using a spatial index for emergency assistance in situations where the nurse cannot physically attend to the patients. The aim of the application is to provide an integrated solution for counseling in all aspects of life in every stage of dementia.
Transport of Building Materials in North Moravia
Authors: Milerski Osvald
Published: July 2023

North Moravia being the most industrial area in Czechoslovakia supplies 80 % of coal, 84 % of pig-iron, and 77 % of its crude steel production. There are large heavy engineering and chemical works. Apart from this, the area has the most extensive building construction of all other areas in Czechoslovakia, 22 % of the state investments being spent to cover its building costs although its population makes only 12 % of the state total. Such economic level claims an especially thick road transport by motor lorries and trucks. In this sphere traffic has increased by 32 % within the last 5 years, whereas on railways only by 6 %. Greates demands on roads are made by the transport of building materials, which represents approximately 3/4 of all transported load. The author followed more closely the problems of transport of gravel-sands and broken stone since their largest deposits occur at a distance of more than 100 km from Ostrava, the main centre of the area. The distribution and intensity of their transport is depicted in Figs. 1 and 2. The author suggests two possible ways of improvement. Firstly, more differentation of production in local cement works so that they could themselves supply and kind of cement, and secondly, to apply the ash waste of power plants for the production of artifical aggregate of concrete (ageoporit). At least one half of the total consumption could be covered in this way.
Male sexual activity with age-Brazilian specialists point of view

Published: July 2023

There is an established concept in society that men decrease their sexual activity with age and, if they are intellectual, this reduction occurs early. However, if men with the same health characteristics were studied, probably the results would be less unfavourable to the elderly. The daily normal sperm density is (50 to 250) X 106 sperm/ml of seminal fluid and extragonadal spermatozoal reserve is from (500 to 1000) X 106, of which about 200 X 106 are available for ejaculation. There are several factors that reduce spermatogenesis, including age, but the most fertile forms of spermatozoa and their motility reach their highest concentration between 40 and 50 years. The minimal sperm count effective in fertilization is 20 X 106 sperm/ml semen, a value that can be found even after the age of 80 years. Considering that semen is continuously produced, there is a natural desire for ejaculation, manifested by libido, regardless of age, ethnicity, social class and intellect, as long as there are no impeding factors. Sexual dysfunctions result from emotional and psychic disorders, serious pelvic and systemic diseases, as well as complications from trauma, surgical treatments and radiotherapy. Sexual activities are natural and, like all other physiological aspects, are influenced by organic, mental, social, cultural and educational disorders.

Bounds and Extremal Graphs for Total Dominating Identifying Codes
Authors: Foucaud Florent , Lehtilä Tuomo
Published: July 2023

An identifying code $C$ of a graph $G$ is a dominating set of $G$ such that any two distinct vertices of $G$ have distinct closed neighbourhoods within $C$. The smallest size of an identifying code of $G$ is denoted $\gamma^{\text{ID}}(G)$. When every vertex of $G$ also has a neighbour in $C$, it is said to be a total dominating identifying code of $G$, and the smallest size of a total dominating identifying code of $G$ is denoted by $\gamma_t^{\text{ID}}(G)$.

Extending similar characterizations for identifying codes from the literature, we characterize those graphs $G$ of order $n$ with $\gamma_t^{\text{ID}}(G)=n$ (the only such connected graph is $P_3$) and $\gamma_t^{\text{ID}}(G)=n-1$ (such graphs either satisfy $\gamma^{\text{ID}}(G)=n-1$ or are built from certain such graphs by adding a set of universal vertices, to each of which a private leaf is attached).

Then, using bounds from the literature, we remark that any (open and closed) twin-free tree of order $n$ has a total dominating identifying code of size at most $\frac{3n}{4}$. This bound is tight, and we characterize the trees reaching it. Moreover, by a new proof, we show that this upper bound actually holds for the larger class of all twin-free graphs of girth at least 5. The cycle $C_8$ also attains the upper bound. We also provide a generalized bound for all graphs of girth at least 5 (possibly with twins).

Finally, we relate $\gamma_t^{\text{ID}}(G)$ to the similar parameter $\gamma^{\text{ID}}(G)$ as well as to the location-domination number of $G$ and its variants, providing bounds that are either tight or almost tight.

Influence of Joint Liability on Enterprise Development of Rural Women in Nyamache Sub-County, Kisii County, Kenya
Authors: Nyanumba Victor Machuki , Araka Hellen
Published: July 2023

Group lending has received great attention from economists and policymakers for its successful credit delivery to poor borrowers and its role in alleviating poverty in developing countries. The success of group lending in providing credit to poor borrowers has been attributed to its ability to mitigate the asymmetry of information and enforcement problems in credit markets. The ability of group lending institutions to overcome the asymmetry of information and enforcement problems has been theorised to be the driving force behind their outreach to the poor, their sustainability, and their repayment performance. While there is a host of theoretical models explaining the success of group lending, empirical research has lagged behind. The focus of this study was to explore the determinants of group lending mechanisms on the enterprise development of rural women in the Nyamache sub-county, Kenya. The study targeted the rural women development groups that access loans as a group within Nyamache Sub-County. The total target population comprised 781 members, and by using Krejcie and Morgan’s table of determining sample size, the sample size consisted of 260 respondents. Questionnaires were used. The questionnaires were edited first for accuracy and completeness. The study used frequency distribution and percentages and computer software-Statistical Package for Social Scientists version 22 (SPSS v 22) as a tool for analysing data and establishing relationships between variables. The study established that joint liability, training, group representation and loan size positively and significantly influenced enterprise development

The nanofluid, i.e., CuO nanoparticles suspended in water, flow in the duct with an inlet fully developed velocity profile and a cold temperature. The lower boundary of the duct is kept at a hot temperature, while the upper boundary is adiabatic. According to the ALE formulation, numerical simulations of the laminar flow are carried out, by employing the software package Comsol Multiphysics, to solve the governing equation system: mass, momentum, energy, and deformation. The behavior of the Nusselt number, of the temperature and velocity fields as well as of the stress profiles are presented and interpreted. As a result, the addition of CuO nanoparticles to pure water improves the local and global heat transfer rate by up to 21.33% compared to pure water. On the other hand, it causes an additional deformation of the elastic fin as well as the increase of the stress due to the presence of the nanoparticles, leading to an increase of its maximum displacement of 34.58% compared to the case of pure water flow. Moreover, the enhancement of the flexibility of the fin (and thus its deformation) leads to a relative reduction in terms of convective heat transfer rate, especially downstream of the fin.

Academic Literature on Compliance Programs, ESG, Corporate Governance, Fraud Prevention, Human Rights, Corruption, Data Protection, and SDGs
Authors: Corruption Review Journal of Law and
Published: July 2023

This academic summary provides an overview of key themes in recent open-access articles pertaining to compliance programs, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, corporate governance, fraud prevention, human rights, corruption, data protection, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as set forth by the United Nations. Scholars have extensively explored the significance of compliance programs in organizations, evaluating their role in ensuring ethical practices, legal adherence, and risk mitigation. Additionally, research has focused on the adoption and impact of ESG strategies, addressing their influence on corporate decision-making, sustainability, and stakeholder engagement. Corporate governance remains a vital area of investigation, investigating board structures, executive compensation, and the effectiveness of governance mechanisms in enhancing firm performance and accountability. Simultaneously, efforts to combat fraud and corruption have led to analyses of fraud detection techniques, whistleblowing systems, and anti-corruption measures. The literature also highlights the evolving landscape of data protection, emphasizing regulatory developments, privacy frameworks, and organizational responsibilities in safeguarding data. Furthermore, there is a growing emphasis on the integration of human rights principles into business practices, exploring the implications of human rights violations and strategies for promoting responsible corporate behavior. Lastly, articles have explored the alignment of corporate practices with the SDGs, examining businesses' contributions to global sustainability goals.

LEGAL STANDARDS IN EDUCATION AND THEIR IMPACT ON SCHOOL FUNCTIONING: THE CASE OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC
Authors:   The Department Of Czech Language And Literature, Faculty Of Education, Palacký University Olomouc, Czechia, Mašát Milan
Published: July 2023

In the contribution, we present the legislative arrangement of Czech education, using the example of the role, rights, and duties of school principals. In the second part of the contribution, we present our proposals for improving the situation in impact and compliance with currently valid Czech standards. We propose options for optimizing the legal regulation of education and their effective implementation in practice. In summary, there should be a greater degree of transparency in the training of teaching staff and school principals, the introduction of an optional direct teaching obligation for school principals, the introduction of mechanisms to make teachers and principals more familiar with current legal school standards and changes to them, or the development of a unified and coherent concept of teaching within a single school. We are aware that our proposed solutions have their limits. The most significant is the increase in the administrative burden on school principals: however, we believe that without the introduction of transparent and verifiable mechanisms to check the fulfilment of certain obligations, it will not be possible to check the obligations in question.
A Longitudinal Study on Lexical Use Aspects of Korean Learners
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Kim Sun-mi , Yang Myung-hee
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this study is conducting longitudinal examination on lexical use development aspects of Korean learner. Written texts ranging from level 1 to level 4 were collected by targeting one learner of Korean regular course affiliated with university. In order to observe lexical use aspects, lexical diversity, lexical density, and lexical sophistication corresponding to components of lexical abundance were estimated. As a result, it has been found that lexical abundance of achievement assessment written text was lower than written texts from classes. Lexical diversity was estimated by using D value. D value increased as Korean learning period and Korean proficiency increased. Likewise with D value, lexical sophistication also increased as Korean language learning period and proficiency increased. This proves that proficiency influences lexical diversity and quality. Lexical density value did not differ greatly from lexical diversity and lexical sophistication. However, in the intermediate course, the amount of content words corresponding to lexical density estimating categories increased sharply. This result shows that texts created by learner have vast information according to proficiency. This study is meaningful as the basic material of lexical ability estimation even though it is a mere longitudinal study which targeted one person(Chung-Ang University).
Factors Influencing the Faculty’s Use of Open Educational Resources (OER)
Authors: Llanda Shiela Mae D.
Published: July 2023

Open educational resources (OER) allow faculty members to retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute high-quality educational resources at no cost. This study examined the influence of the utilization of open educational resources (OER) among the faculty. A total of ninety-three (93) faculty members, full-time and part-time, from different levels in a private school in Cagayan de Oro City, participated in the study. The concurrent nested mixed method was used with questions taken from the OER Research Hub. Descriptive statistics and multiple regressions were used to organize the data. Findings reveal that the participants' assessments of the use of open educational resources were generally high, specifically in terms of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. The extent of participants' use of open educational resources, considering self-efficacy on the use of OER, peer influence, and facilitating conditions, was likewise found to be high. The utilization of open educational resources by the faculty was rated high for videos, lectures, images, and website links. YouTube/YouTubeEdu/YouTube School, TED Talks/TED-Ed, Khan Academy, and Wikibooks. The participants' assessment of the use of OER and its characteristics significantly influenced their intention to use OER. From the qualitative responses, one (1) theme emerged: Advantages and drawbacks. This theme is categorized into enhanced instructional preparation, convenience, and negative issues. This study points to the need of conducting further empirical investigation on Open Educational Resources with the inclusion of learner’s needs as well as the perspective of the stakeholder.
