Collections & Collectors: 54. Tunbridge Wells Museum: Geology and George Abbott (1844-1925)
Authors: Gill Margaret A.V. , Knell Simon J.
Published: August 2022

Above the door of the Natural History Room in Tunbridge Wells Museum hangs a portrait of George Abbott FGS, as a tribute to his struggle for over forty years to provide Tunbridge Wells with a museum. 'Knowledge of the Earth and its Story helps to make a man fitter for life on it and also to raise him above it' (E.B. Cumberland) was one of his guiding principles, and he placed the quotation above the window display in the newly-opened Municipal Education Museum in 1918. As instigator and first Curator he was responsible for the creation of its fine geological collections, of which a mere fraction now remains. Recent research into their disposal has shed new light on the history of these collections and on the work of Abbott who, as a collector, supplied concretions to museums throughout the world.

Perpetual Excitement: The Heroic Age of British Geology
Authors: Morell Jack
Published: August 2022

This paper is derived from a talk delivered to the annual meeting of the Geological Curators' Group held in the Yorkshire Museum, York, on 6 December 1990. That meeting attempted to examine why geology had lost ground to archaeology in the popular imagination and how museum geologists might help geology to re-capture the initiative. I was invited to review briefly the heroic age of British geology and the nature of curatorship at that time to see what could be learned from the past which might interest curators trying now to promote geology against the competing attractions of archaeology. The talk was accordingly divided into two parts. Firstly, it tried to analyse the attractions of geology in Britain in the so-called 'Heroic Age' which was adorned by such brethren of the hammer as William Smith, Greenough, Buckland, Sedgwick, Murchison, Lyell and Darwin. Secondly, given the location of the meeting, it seemed worth while to look at the aims of curatorship pursued by one of those heroic geologists, John Phillips, Keeper of the Yorkshire Museum from 1826 to 1840 and its leading spirit until 1853 when he left York for Oxford. Parts of the talk leaned on my current research towards a biography of Phillips and on my recent analysis of his geological work in the 1820s (Morrell 1989).

Is Environmental Kuznets Hypothesis Vice-Versa for Bangladesh Especially in the Times of Global Climate Change? – An ARDL Econometric Modeling Approach
Authors: Ferdous Refat , Ahmed Md Tanvir
Published: August 2022

The relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation has been one of the most studied topics especially in developing countries around the world. This paper intends to investigate whether the Environmental Kuznets Hypothesis holds for Bangladesh when the country is experiencing a phenomenal rate of economic growth amidst global climate challenges. By exploiting the data from 1981 to 2019 for Bangladesh, a developing country highly vulnerable to the threats posted by the recent global climate changes, the integration between CO2 emission and economic development has been explored and the validity of the Kuznets hypothesis has been checked through the lens of an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bound test process. The findings ascertain that there is a positive relationship between environmental degradation and economic growth of Bangladesh which represents a vice-versa trend in terms of Kuznets hypothesis. An increase in one kiloton of CO2 emission leads the growth of GDP by 0.016 per cent. Furthermore, the study also lists some of the policy approaches to help prepare Bangladesh to confront the impending consequences from climate changes and to promote environment friendly economic development.

In principle, blood donation is a noble charity that can save the lives of many people. Humanitarian tragedies in the form of accidents, operations, etc., almost certainly require assistance and the availability of adequate blood. Such events should arouse the feeling and spirit of human solidarity. Unfortunately, information about the benefits of blood donation for humanity and health has not been well communicated. In the polar literature at-Turats found a chapter that specifically discusses the law of donors and blood transfusions. With the various honors of the principle of good deeds to others using the blood donor media, Muslims in general need a more detailed and systematic reconceptualization of the decisions of Syara' law related to the practice and dynamics of the medical world. Therefore, this research will answer the following problem formulations, (1) what are the views of the fuqaha on the law of blood donation?, (2) what are the views of the fuqaha on the law of blood transfusion? And (3) What is the law on buying and selling blood for blood transfusion needs? To answer some of the problem formulations above, the researcher uses a type of research that adopts some qualitative research techniques that are library research, namely reviewing and researching library sources, in the form of fiqh books by contemporary fiqh scholars related to the theme discussion. The data collection technique used by the researcher is documentation technique because this research is library research. After the data is collected, it is analyzed by following the mile and hiberman analysis model and added with content analysis. This study produced three answers as a follow-up to the problem formulation that was made at the beginning of the discussion. First, contemporary fiqh scholars differ on the law of blood donation. In ikhtiyar conditions, the law of blood donation is prohibited. Meanwhile, in an emergency, they agree that it is permissible. Second, blood transfusions are not allowed because blood is an unclean object. However, if you can save human life, then yes. Third, the law sells blood both to individuals and to foundations or banks. because it is very useful for humans to help the souls of fellow humans who need blood transfusions due to operations and accidents

Mathematics Teachers’ Pedagogical Beliefs and Practices: Does being ‘Conventional or Constructivist matter?’
Authors: Alburo Flordeliza G.
Published: August 2022

This study explored the pedagogical beliefs and classroom practices of mathematics teachers and determined whether their beliefs system and practices lean towards the conventional or constructivist pedagogy. It employed the mixed method design and stratified-purposive sampling procedure to identify the 20 participating schools that provided the 96 mathematics teacher-participants. Overall, math teachers held beliefs system and teaching practices that are combinations of both conventional and constructivist perspectives. However, when grouped accordingly, high school math teachers demonstrated classroom practices that leaned more to conventional approaches and are inconsistent with their pedagogical beliefs. Result suggests that math teachers' preparation for K to12 implementation through training seemed not enough to shift their pedagogical   perspective to lean more towards constructivism view. Such would likely strain if not impede the effective implementation of K to12 program. Hence, continuous and periodic teacher trainings on how to design a constructivist learning environment are deemed essential.

Authors: Quimbo Josephine D.J. , Ardales, Jr. Gregorio Y. , Quimbo Maria Ana T.
Published: August 2022

This descriptive study examined the acceptability of the Senior High Shool (SHS) program during its first year of implementation, considering urban and rural differentiation. Cluster and purposive sampling selected 1,420 students and 96 parents, respectively, from five urban and five rural schools offering two or more academic with technical-vocational-livelihood strands in Laguna. Factor analysis on indicators revealed higher program acceptability among urban respondents, who recognized its role in making students college- or work-ready and cited advocacy efforts as crucial to acceptability. Finance-related factors elicited poor acceptability, especially among low-income families due to additional expenses and lost opportunity for children. Mann-Whitney U test results indicated more openness and willingness among urban respondents towards SHS implementation. Content analysis of interviews with four purposively chosen local government officials showed that advocacy programs significantly raised acceptability and that government provision of needed resources is paramount, especially in rural areas. Policy and practice implications are discussed.
Filipino Pedagogies from Social Mimesis
Authors: Reyes Wensley M.
Published: August 2022

Social Mimesis Pedagogies are pedagogies emerging from social practices (e.g., livelihood, habits, lifestyles). The paper aims to highlight the pedagogical ideas of Filipino educators and contribute to the discourse of Filipino pedagogies by documenting and highlighting a developing trend among Filipino educators of being inspired and reflective of social practices resulting in the development of pedagogical frameworks. The research utilizes a documentary research method that reviews basic documents and sources from their respective proponents. For ethical purposes, the author requested the proponents to read the final article for the additional elucidation of their ideas and concepts. The research identified three elements in the development of these Filipino pedagogies from social mimesis: inspiration (moved by or influenced by); reflection (deliberate thinking and inference); and adaptation (written for education or expressed in a pedagogical form). Filipino pedagogies are localized pedagogies that reflect social practices. The study recommends to further inquire into these attempts of Filipino educators.

The study followed a descriptive research design that targeted five participants who were purposively selected by two of their retired SPED teachers in an elementary school in Legazpi City Division SPED Center. Interviews were conducted to gather the needed data and a documentary film was crafted to preserve the veracity of the collected information. Findings revealed that the teachers contribute a great part to the achievement of the five participants. Results also showed the struggles SPED teachers have encountered during their community days and how they were able to deal with them. Using cross-case analysis the study emphasizes that every teacher's story is a story of heroism. The study recommends documentation of teachers' stories in every field which may serve as inspiration to everyone.

The purpose of this research is to look at the factors that influence the dividend payout ratio such as foreign ownership, current ratio, debt-to-equity ratio, return on assets, and firm size in non-financial businesses listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2016 and 2019. This research employs an explanatory strategy and focuses on a quantitative approach using multiple regression similar to earlier studies, by utilizing secondary data from the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Findings, the current ratio and firm size have little bearing on dividend distribution strategy. While the debt-to-equity ratio has a considerable negative impact on the dividend payout ratio, return on assets has a significant positive impact. Furthermore, the impact of foreign ownership on the dividend payment policy can reduce the link between the current ratio and the debt-to-equity ratio. Foreign ownership, on the other hand, is unable to modify the link between return on assets and firm size and dividend policy. The study utilized the SPSS (Statistical Package Pocket Social Sciences) version 22.0 software.

Authors: Mehmood Rabia , Sheikh Nadeem
Published: August 2022

Background: Amongst the industrial hubs in Pakistan, Wazirabad is renowned for its cutlery industry. Cutlery industry generates heaps of multi-metallic dust in whetting units during the processing of stain fewer steel tools. This dust comprises certain potentially toxic and even carcinogenic constituents, thus pose a serious health threat to the workers involved in its processing. Laborers health and safety is something quite non-seriously considered in most of the developing countries, no different is Pakistan. Present exploration was aimed at searching for the differences, in blood profile and quantitative serum protein profile of a group of laborers in cutlery industry that are directly and regularly exposed to multi-metallic dust.

Materials and Methods: After taking written consent from the participants, blood samples were drawn for hematological analysis and serum analysis. Hematological analysis was performed with hematological analyzer and serum was subjected to SDS gel electrophoresis for protein profiling.

Results: Statistically significant changes were observed in the number of RBCs, MCV, HCT and RDW, whereas platelet count was decreased in experimental groups when compared to control group. Serum protein profiling using SDS-PAGE revealed the protein fractions ranging from 73 to 287 kDa. Densitometric analysis has shown changes in the serum proteins of the subjects exposed to metal dust.

Conclusion: Chronic exposure to the metal dust induce changes in the hematological parameters as well as serum proteins. The industrial workers should ensure the use of industry specific personal safety equipment.

Key words: Health hazard, Hematology, Metals, Metal dust, Proteins, SDS-PAGE.
A study on the possibility of combining the dismantlement of faciality with digital character creation: Focusing on the 'Art Brut' of Jean Dubuffet
Authors:   K-Culture·Story Contents Research Institute, Kang Ju-Hyeong
Published: August 2022

This paper examines the possibility that the discourse of dismantlement of faciality can be combined with character creation in the digital age by analyzing the facial images in Jean Dubuffet's Art Brut painting focusing on Gilles Deleuze's concept of 'faciality'.
According to Deleuze, the face is a layer of linguistic expression deterritorialized from the body, and it is the mechanism of faciality that fixes humans to signifiance and subjectification by a single code that dominates Western civilization. This paper attempts to capture the prototype of the face that the mechanism of faciality do not penetrate through the raw image of faces in Art Brut, which breaks down the classical representation system. These informel faces of Art Brut and Deleuze's undecidable faces suggest the possibility of various expressions of face and body images through the undecidability between faciality and body, and the relationship with material objects. In other words, the deconstruction of faciality as claimed in this paper can open the infinite possibilities of creating digital characters with another vitality as a new approach to face representation.
