Network Structure of Financial Institutions in the Philippines: Insights on Corporate Control and Competition
Authors: Tabuga Aubrey , Ruiz Mark Gerald , Serafica Ramonette , Baino Madeleine Louise ,   Philippine Institute for Development Studies
Published: November 2024

This exploratory study focuses on understanding the structure of networks of financial institutions in the Philippines. The literature notes that the financial sector occupies a central position within corporate networks. More importantly, the significance of deepening understanding of the connections within the financial sector stems from its role as an intermediate sector. The financial sector is crucial because of its role in promoting efficiency in other economic sectors. In fact, this sector occupies a unique position of influence regarding how the wealth of an economy is generated and allocated. Using a network lens, the structure of interrelationships via ownership is examined to draw insights related to corporate control, competition, and financial sector development. Data from the Philippine Stock Exchange on publicly listed financial companies and their networks is utilized to distinguish between subsidiary networks, ownership networks, and networks created by board interlocks. The subsidiary network of financial companies is found to be fragmented, and the connections among members of a group are closely knit. Subsidiary networks exhibit a hub-and-spoke structure, with a parent company in the center and subsidiaries around it. This centralized structure is thought to be used by investment companies to pool assets, cut costs, and improve efficiency. Financial institutions also diversify their portfolios by owning various companies not only in the financial sector but also in other sectors. Evidence of interconnections among companies in the financial sector and between financial companies and others is found. The networks formed via interlocks of board members and officers show a high proportion of triples, suggesting ease of reaching others within a short distance—a characteristic of the small-world phenomenon. The finding of an interconnected network, nearly a single-component network, also suggests that the extent of corporate control can be broad.

Published: November 2024

This is the lead chapter of the 2023–2024 Economic Policy Monitor (EPM) of the Philippine Institute for Development Studies. It examines the economic performance of the Philippines for 2023 and, at most, the third quarter of 2024. It presents the conditions driving global, regional, and national outlooks, projections on growth, consumer prices, and prospects coming into 2025—all of which are relevant to making informed household, enterprise, and policy decisions. As the economy moves towards a better normal, it faces challenges from persistent headwinds stemming from both internal and external factors. According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the economy grew by 5.6 percent in 2023, driven by growth in major sectors such as industry and services, while year-to-date headline inflation was recorded at 6.0 percent. Like previous EPM publications, this report also includes projected growth and inflation estimates for 2024 and 2025. It also considers the flow of funds from abroad, employment, financial conditions, use of public funds, and expected consumer and business expectations regarding the economy’s state of health. Building on the issues mentioned in previous macroeconomic prospects, this report underscores risks related to inflation, exchange rate movements, fiscal position, and the impact of external factors on national economic growth and development.

Published: November 2024

Anemia in goats is a prevalent and significant health issue, characterized by pale mucous membranes, tachycardia, weakness, activity intolerance, reduced body weight, and stunted growth. It is often caused by hemoprotozoan diseases, parasitism (both internal and external), and nutritional deficiencies. For small ruminant farmers, anemia poses severe economic challenges by reducing productivity, including slower growth rates and lower milk yields, and increasing mortality if left untreated. This study was conducted in Barishal Sadar Upazila, Barishal district, over a 3 month period from November 2021, to January 2022 Out of 216 goats examined, 37 cases (17.12%) were diagnosed with anemia. The data revealed that Black Bengal goats had the highest prevalence of anemia (62.16%), followed by Jamunapari (29.73%) and crossbreeds (8.11%). Female goats (62.17%) were more affected than males (37.83%). Anemia was most prevalent in goats aged 13-18 months (59.46%), compared to 7-12 months (24.33%) and 0-6 months (16.21%). The FAMACHA scoring system was used to assess anemia severity, offering an affordable, practical, and accessible tool for evaluating conjunctival color on a scale from 1 (no anemia) to 5 (severe anemia). In this study, I standardized the FAMACHA chart for goats in the Barishal district. The results showed that as FAMACHA scores increased, red blood cell (RBC) counts, hemoglobin (Hb) levels, and packed cell volume (PCV) decreased, while white blood cell (WBC) counts increased, indicating more severe anemia. Elevated WBC counts also suggested possible underlying infections. This study underscores the FAMACHA chart’s effectiveness in diagnosing anemia and highlights its potential as a valuable tool for anemia management in tropical and subtropical regions.
Knowledge production as an enabler to effective organisational resilience
Authors: Blyth Mike , Sluka Kevin , Bassett Andy , Daniel Ian , Lowe Matt , Frey Kelly
Published: November 2024

Organisational resilience depends on knowledge-driven standards and practices that enable risk owners to identify, evaluate, manage and react to complex, dynamic and interconnected threats. It is knowledge that determines the level of sophistication and effectiveness of an organisation’s resilience strategy. This knowledge rests with those whose role is focused on security, who support security as an ancillary function, or who lead in specific technical risk areas. The establishment of consistent, credible, accredited and recognised knowledge production allows individuals and their employers to establish a competency framework that shapes the development and exercising of focused and relevant knowledge, and that critically allows the effectiveness of knowledge application to be measured. The process of knowledge production can be opportunistic or structured, enabling either transformative or incremental change. Learning can bring together professionals from markedly different career start-points to enable the process of career convergence where strengths, weaknesses and gaps in capacity are identified and addressed to create an effective and rounded security professional. This paper explores the concept of the security professional, how knowledge is created, the value of training, the importance of credible knowledge resources, how change can be affected, and the need for a formally recognised competency framework to shape professional development pathways within the security community.

Published: November 2024

This article explores the phenomenon of big data and its potential for use in the public sector. It argues that big data is not just “more of the same”, but that it face challenges that can open the door to the enormous advantages in the use of algorithms and massive data, guaranteeing to the citizens that its less desirable effects will not appear. A scientific perspective is adopted to emphasize the enormous potential of big data, its main limitations, and, most importantly, the intermediate arena formed by challenges and uncertainties typical of a dynamic and still unstable phenomenon.
Algoritmización del mundo de la vida: crítica y propuestas para la desdiferenciación
Authors: Urban Bárbara
Published: November 2024

Jürgen Habermas speaks about technocracy referring to the dissociation of the whole formed by the society’s self-understanding from the system of reference, the communicative action and the symbolic interaction. As a result, we find a politicized usage of technological elements, such as algorithms, which have even served to influence democratic electoral processes. The solution to this fact must involve a practical use of communicative action, to boost commitment, thus adopting a deliberative democratic model in which companies participate as producers of science and technology.

Authors: Mendoza Dianne Olan
Published: November 2024

Inclusive education is an approach that ensures every student, regardless of their learning needs, has fair access to quality education. This study delved into the inclusive education practices, difficulties, and recommendations of Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) teachers in public junior high schools in Lipa City, Batangas, Philippines. Drawing inspiration from frameworks, like the Salamanca Statement, Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences and Vygotsky’s Social Constructivism, the research explored how TLE teachers incorporated education into their curriculum design, instructional strategies, and assessment of learning.  Using a descriptive-quantitative research design, this research surveyed 81 TLE teachers from 21 public junior high schools. Their demographic profiles were collected, along with their inclusive education practices in the aspects of curriculum design, instructional strategies and assessment of learning. Significant differences were observed in the teachers’ curriculum design and instructional practices while there was no significant difference in their assessment of learning when grouped according to their ages and educational attainment. No significant difference was observed in the three aspects of their inclusive education practices when grouped according to their sex, number of years in teaching, areas of specialization, and length of inclusive education training attended. A comprehensive professional development program for TLE teachers in Lipa is proposed as a way of addressing key challenges and opportunities in the practice of inclusive education. It emphasizes inclusivity in practices and acknowledges the significance of equal provision of high-quality education for all students, stakeholder collaboration, sufficient fund allocation, and continuous professional development to further improve inclusivity and ensuring that no student is left behind in any learning process.

Introdução: A cesariana é um procedimento cirúrgico que idealmente deveria ser reservado para situações em que o parto vaginal não é seguro para a mãe ou o bebê. No entanto, no Brasil, foi realizado em uma proporção alarmante, chegando a representar 40% de todos os partos. Esse alto índice de cesarianas está associado a um aumento significativo no risco de infecções pós-parto, especialmente infecções cirúrgicas locais. Objetivo: Identificar os fatores associados às infecções do sítio cirúrgico relacionados à assistência durante o procedimento de cesariana. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura do tipo integrativa de estudos publicados entre 2019 e 2024, nos bancos de dados Scientific Eletronic Library Oline (SciELO), National Library of Medicine dos Estados Unidos (PUBMED) e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), nos idiomas português e inglês. Resultados: Após a busca e seleção de estudos, foram identificados 07 trabalhos relevantes. Esta pesquisa permitiu analisar dados do Brasil e de outros países, destacando fatores de risco e a importância da assistência humanizada prestada pela enfermagem na redução dos riscos de infecção puerperal. A má higiene das mãos e o traje cirúrgico inadequado se destacam como os principais causadores de infecções no local da cirurgia. Conclusão: A equipe de saúde desempenha um papel fundamental na prevenção e cuidado de qualquer sinal de complicação no puerpério, pois tem contato prolongado com a parturiente, possibilitando a identificação precoce e intervenção no tratamento. Portanto, este estudo proporciona uma compreensão aprofundada e relevante sobre um tema crucial na obstetrícia, contribuindo para futuras pesquisas nessa área. Assim, a implementação de procedimento operacional padrão (POP) e educação continuada é essencial para prevenir tais situações e obter resultados satisfatórios, apesar da resistência por parte dos profissionais da saúde.

Organ transplantation is a complex intervention, often essential for patients with organ failure. In this context, anesthesiology plays a crucial role in hemodynamic stability and pain control. However, there is evidence that anesthetic techniques may impact the recipient's immune acceptance of the organ and prevent rejection. Some anesthetics appear to be effective in modulating the immune response, reducing rejection, and improving the postoperative function of the transplant. This is an ecological, observational, and retrospective study based on data from the databases of the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS), in the hospital procedures section, filtered for the procedure “Organ, tissue, and cell transplantation,” specifically kidney transplants. The objective of this study is to analyze the landscape of organ transplants in Brazil over the past 10 years, with a focus on the use of sevoflurane in kidney transplants.

Brazil stands out globally for the number of cesarean sections performed annually, with figures far exceeding the recommendations of the WHO – World Health Organization. Cesarean delivery requires appropriate anesthetic blockade, with various techniques possible, the most common being spinal anesthesia and, less frequently, general anesthesia techniques. Both regional and general anesthesia techniques have advanced significantly in recent years but are not free from complications, which are associated with both maternal history and the anesthetic procedure itself. Maternal morbidity and mortality during the gestational period is a public health issue, which is also linked to the appropriate choice of delivery method and necessary anesthesia procedure. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the national number of maternal deaths related to anesthetic procedures over the past 10 years – from 2014 to 2023 – and to compare national data with international data, based on the most recent scientific literature.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to improve research, publication, and outreach partnerships in ASEAN high- and low-performing institutions. It stresses research integrity and compliance, stressing that top universities value ethical data management, communication, and error repair. Researchers must follow human subject, animal, and environmental rules and well-established methods to prevent research misconduct such as fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism. Lower-performing institutions struggle with research collaboration, unclear laws, and bureaucratic impediments. Data was collected from Harvard, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, and less successful universities like Myanmar, Cambodia, and Timor Leste using qualitative methods like focus group talks and document analysis. Two collaboration-focused platforms were created from the findings. This research seeks to close ASEAN institution performance gaps. Sustainable scientific collaboration and institutional development frameworks are essential for the future. Formal collaborations between high- and low-performing universities can spur creative research and enhance resource allocation, creating a more equal academic environment. Mentorship programs from top schools should be used in collaborative approaches to improve lower-performing university researchers’ skills. Technology-enabled communication and data sharing promote research community transparency and accountability. Developing an inclusive research ecosystem requires continual evaluation of collaboration outputs and adjusting to changing academic difficulties to promote sustained institutional growth.

Focal Cortical Dysplasias (FCDs) are a common cause of pharmaco-resistant epilepsy. FCDs are rare conditions, and their pathogenesis remains poorly understood. We report a 12-year-old patient seen in our clinic for focal onset epileptic seizures. Neurological examination and brain CT-scan were nearly normal. However, an electroencephalogram (EEG) revealed a slightly slow background rhythm with slow spikes in the medial and right parietal regions and a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a focal cortical thickening in the right parietal lobe with FLAIR hypersignal, indicating a focal cortical dysplasia.

Le pyothorax est définie par la présence dans l’espace pleural d’un liquide purulent. Elle peut être primaire, secondaire d’une pathologie générale dont la pneumonie représente une part majoritaire, ou faire suite à un traumatisme. Nous rapportons le cas d’un homme de 32 ans, immunocompétent au VIH, tabagique actif non sevré, présentant une cellulite cervicale d’origine dentaire compliquée de pleurésie purulente. Le diagnostic a été posé sur la base clinique et d’imagerie (radiographie pulmonaire et l’échographie abdominale). La prise en charge pluridisciplinaire consistait en un drainage, une avulsion des dents affectées, un curetage alvéolaire et une bi antibiothérapie adaptée. L’évolution a été favorable avec régression totale des symptômes respiratoires et le retour du poumon à la paroi. Mots-clés : dent, cellulite, pyothorax.

Introduction : Il n’existe que très peu de données publiées sur la mortalité hospitalière. Notre objectif général était de déterminer le taux de mortalité hospitalière à la clinique de neurologie Ibrahima Pierre Ndiaye de Janvier à Décembre 2019. Méthodologie : du 1er Janvier au 31 Décembre 2019 nous avons mené une étude transversale, rétrospective et descriptive. Notre étude concernait tous les patients hospitalisés à la clinique de neurologie Ibrahima Pierre Ndiaye de CHUN FANN de Dakar. Les données recueillies provenaient du registre des hospitalisations et des archives du service de neurologie. Elles ont été analysées par les logiciels Epi info7 et SPSS version 22. Résultats : au total 760 patients ont été hospitalisées durant la période d’étude. Parmi eux, 167 sont décédés, soit un taux de 21,97%. La classe modale était celle de 51 à 70 ans avec 75 patients (44,91%) et le sex ratio était de 0,72. L’HTA était le plus fréquents des antécédents (72,79%) suivi des AVC (30,88%) et du diabète (14,71%). Le dernier examen clinique retrouvait des signes de gravité chez la majorité des patients dont l’abolition des réflexes du tronc cérébral (30%). Le score de Glasgow moyen était de 8,34±2,89. Discussion-Conclusion : notre taux de mortalité était très élevé. Cela pourrait être dû à une place toujours importante des pathologies infectieuses dans notre contexte alors que les pathologies non transmissibles sont plus fréquentes. Les AVC et les méningo-encéphalites étaient les diagnostics les plus fréquemment. Mots-clés : Mortalité-Hospitalière — Afrique Subsaharienne — Neurologie — Dakar.

Nous rapportons les aspects épidémiologiques, anatomo-cliniques et thérapeutiques de perforations intestinales traumatiques dans notre pratique. Il s’agissait d’une étude rétrospective et descriptive de 05ans (2017-2022) concernant 23 patients opérés pour perforations intestinales traumatiques. Les données épidémiologiques, cliniques, paracliniques, thérapeutiques et évolutives étaient analysées. Nos malades étaient des hommes avec un âge moyen de 26 ans (18 ans-70 ans). Les étiologies concernaient dans 87% (n=20) un traumatisme ouvert abdominal et dans 13% (n=3) un traumatisme fermé. L’agression à l’arme blanche prédominait dans 74% (n=17). Le délai moyen d’admission était de 03 heures (01 heure et 84 heure). Six patients (26%) présentaient un état de choc. Le syndrome péritonéal était retrouvé chez tous nos patients. Le délai moyen entre l’admission et la chirurgie était de 07 heures. Le bilan peropératoire objectivait en moyenne 2 lésions intestinales par patient. Les plaies linéaires prédominaient dans 17 cas (34%). Le jéjuno-iléon était le siège majoritaire dans 84% (n=20) et le côlon dans 16% (n=4). Les gestes chirurgicaux réalisés sur le grêle étaient une résection-anastomose dans 11 cas (58%) et une suture simple dans 8 cas (42%). Sur le côlon, une suture simple était effectuée dans 50% (n=2) et une chirurgie en 2 temps dans 50% (n=2). L’évolution était compliquée dans 30% (n=7). La mortalité était de 13% (n=3). Le diagnostic de lésionnel intestinal traumatique a été peropératoire. La chirurgie en un temps doit être préférée aussi bien pour le grêle et le côlon dans les tableaux simples. Mots-clés : traumatisme intestinal, contusion, plaie-abdominale.
Measuring the digital behavior for health purposes of the Garifuna community in Atlántida, Honduras
Authors: Agudelo-Santos Carlos , Zablah Isaac
Published: November 2024

Historically, the Garifuna community has been relegated to northern Honduras. The access indicators for the
behavior in telecommunications services of this ethnic group are not known in depth. A sample has been
chosen to study variables such as hours of use of computers and mobiles, the monthly budget for telecommunications services, and characterization of complementary final services, especially the behavior and digital knowledge from the intersection of technology together with an aspect of common knowledge among
the Garifuna, which in this case is proposed to carry out the analysis to be able to encourage and promote
health in terms of the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Data were collected electronically
using an instrument between January and May 2022. In the behavior and knowledge of digital technologies,
basic statistics have been used to analyze quantitative data, but an unstructured text analysis algorithm has
been used, together with graph theory, to find the relationships between the terms used by the participants.
The result has been widespread access to telecommunications services, but there is also low knowledge of
the basic concepts associated with these technologies.

Improving the Al-Qur’an Recitation Skills of Children at Nurul Bahar Mosque’ TPA, Sungai Pisang Village through a Mentoring Program

Published: November 2024

Children in Sungai Pisang Village have a low interest in Al-Qur’an recitation because many of them prefer to play rather than learn the Al-Qu’ran. One of the factors causing the low interest of children in Sungai Pisang Village in reciting the Al-Qur’an is the shortage of teachers or facilitators so that the children feel bored waiting for their turn to recite the Al-Qur’an. For that reason, this community services activity aims to improve the children's ability to recite the Al-Qur’an in Sungai Pisang Village by participating in teaching the Al-Qur’an recitation. The methods used were observation and face-to-face mentoring. Observation was conducted by visiting Al-Qur’an learning center (TPA) at Nurul Bahar Mosque and collecting information from teachers regarding the children's interest in reciting the Al-Qur’an in this place. The activity implementation comprised reading and reciting hijaiyah letters, learning the length and shortness of recitation, reading short passage, and didikan subuh (activities to educate children about fundamental virtues of Islam). Partners in this activity were teachers and children who recite the Al-Qur’an in Sungai Pisang Village. The results of this activity can help teachers to improve the learning process of Al-Qur’an recitation for children at Nurul Bahar Mosque’ TPA, which is indicated by the number of students who have improved their ability to read and recite the Al-Qur’an, namely 35 children or 70% of total participants.
