Developing a Framework for Addressing Research Competence and Challenges Among Local College Faculty: Toward a Targeted Training Program
Authors: Quiño-Justol Jeddah , Gomez Frederick
Published: February 2025

Improving the research competencies of faculty remains a significant challenge for higher education institutions (HEIs) in the Philippines, with low research productivity often linked to limited faculty competencies. This study assessed the faculty's research competencies and challenges at a Local College in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, Philippines, to address these gaps and propose solutions. Using an explanatory sequential mixed-method design, the researchers combined quantitative data from a Research Competencies Scale with qualitative insights from open-ended questions. The study evaluated research competencies across six domains: research inquiry, literature review, sampling methods, qualitative and quantitative processes, ethics, and dissemination. Results indicated moderate overall competency, with strengths in theoretical frameworks and ethical standards but significant challenges in formulating qualitative research questions and adhering to scholarly writing standards. Time management, resource limitations, and gaps in foundational skills emerged as significant barriers, compounded by a lack of institutional support and mentorship. The study proposed a structured training program based on the S-PA-T (Strategy, Program, Activities, Tasks) framework to address these issues. Key recommendations included establishing an Education Research and Development Office with an accompanying Research Ethics Board, allocating 1% of the institutional budget for research initiatives, and implementing interactive workshops to enhance research design, data analysis, and scholarly writing skills. By leveraging existing resources and addressing systemic barriers, the institution can foster a robust research culture and empower faculty to make meaningful academic and community development contributions. This study highlights the importance of institutional support, targeted training, and collaboration in aligning faculty research competencies with higher education goals and national priorities
Peculiaridades de la EREA e implicaciones en su manejo en asma grave
Authors: Bobolea Irina , Ayala Soriano Say
Published: February 2025

La Enfermedad Respiratoria Exacerbada por Aspirina (EREA) es un endotipo bien reconocido de asma grave y de difícil control, caracterizado por la tríada de asma, poliposis nasal e intolerancia a los AINE. La EREA representa una hipersensibilidad no alérgica a los AINE que inhiben la COX-1, desencadenando típicamente broncoespasmo tras la exposición a estos fármacos. La evitación de los AINE no resuelve la inflamación persistente de la vía aérea, predominantemente de tipo 2 (T2), mediada por la linfopoyetina estromal tímica (TSLP), marcada eosinofilia, activación de mastocitos y desregulación del metabolismo del ácido araquidónico. Esta inflamación crónica suele conducir a asma corticodependiente y poliposis nasal recurrente, afectando significativamente la calidad de vida. Los tratamientos médicos y quirúrgicos convencionales a menudo no logran un control óptimo de la enfermedad. No obstante, la introducción de terapias biológicas ha mejorado notablemente el pronóstico, reduciendo síntomas, exacerbaciones, la dependencia de corticoides y la necesidad de cirugía endoscópica nasosinusal (CENS). A pesar de estos avances, sigue sin estar claro hasta qué punto los biológicos pueden reducir la intolerancia a la aspirina/AINE. La evidencia emergente de casos aislados y series pequeñas sugiere una posible eficacia, y nuestro grupo está llevando a cabo un estudio prospectivo en vida real para esclarecer los mecanismos subyacentes y sus implicaciones terapéuticas.
Políticas anticrisis y paro: una comparación entre Italia y España
Authors:   Istituto di Ricerche sulla Popolazione e le Politiche Sociali, Gagliardi Francesco
Published: February 2025

Este artículo compara las políticas puestas en marcha en España e Italia para contener los efectos de la crisis sobre el empleo. Para lograr una recuperación con empleo hay que integrar las políticas de apoyo a la renta, y por lo tanto de apoyo a la demanda, con las políticas de oferta. Éstas deben dirigirse por un lado a favorecer la adaptabilidad de las competencias de los trabajadores a los procesos de reestructuración realizados por las empresas precisamente como respuesta a la crisis, y, por el otro fortalecer significativamente las inversiones en conocimiento y en la sostenibilidad medioambiental y social. Una exigencia cuya aplicación está muy limitada por la escasez de recursos públicos y privados disponibles en ambos países.

Published: February 2025

La mitigación del cambio climático (CC) y la respuesta ante la posible escasez energética (EE) son dos importantes factores que apuntalan la necesidad de un cambio en el concepto de «competitividad hacia la sostenibilidad». La problemática que encierran las hipótesis de CC y EE ofrecen una oportunidad a las empresas para dar un salto en su competitividad, más que un mero coste económico y social. Tanto las políticas de última generación establecidas desde Kioto relacionados con el medio ambiente así como la llamada hipótesis de Porter otorgan un papel central a la innovación como pilar de la competitividad sostenible. Este artículo reflexiona sobre las debilidades y fortalezas que presenta la industria vasca ante una economía baja en carbono. Del mismo modo, se presentan algunas de las políticas más notables emprendidas por la Administración vasca.

Authors:   Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy, Schepelmann Philipp
Published: February 2025

Northrhine-Westphalia (NRW) is the largest land of the Federal Republic of Germany. Until the 1970ies the Ruhr-area with a population of about 12 million people and a strong coal, steel and chemical industry had been plagued with severe pollution. In the 1970ies environmental protection had emerged on the international and national policy agendas. The federal and regional government launched massive legislative and economic public interventions for cleaning-up rivers, soils and air. As a result, a highly competitive eco-industry emerged. The article outlines main features of ecoindustries, the structural change of the Ruhr area and regional economic cluster policies in support of eco-industries in NRW. It draws conclusions for eco-industry policy developing from end-of-pipe towards integrated preventive approaches.
Cradle to Cradle criteria for the built environment
Authors:   Universidad Erasmus de Rotterdam, Mulhall Douglas , Braungart Michael ,   Universidad Erasmus de Rotterdam
Published: February 2025

The positive agenda of Cradle to Cradle establishes a new paradigm for redesigning in the built environment. Cradle to Cradle consists of a philosophy, quantifiable principles, and implementation tools that together comprise an innovation platform for enhancing the quality of materials, energy and biodiversity. This platform generates social, economic and eco-effective benefits, which go beyond the conventional sustainability approach of using eco-efficiency to minimize environmental impacts. Cradle to Cradle is well known through earlier published works but most practitioners in the built environment are still unfamiliar with how to apply its principles. The framework here provides an introduction to the philosophy then translates the three basic Cradle to Cradle principles into criteria that can be quantifiably applied and evaluated. It further describes implementation criteria, which allow the innovative integration of defined financial, contract, and design application tools. Definitions of Cradle to Cradle energy in relation to climate change gases are also provided.

Published: February 2025

Abstract: Cervical insufficiency is a challenging obstetric condition often associated with late miscarriages and preterm births, significantly impacting maternal and fetal health. This study aimed to review the main techniques used in managing cervical insufficiency, evaluating diagnostic and therapeutic advances to improve pregnancy outcomes. The review followed PRISMA guidelines, with searches in databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Medline Ovid, and SciELO, resulting in the analysis of 483 studies, 12 of which were included for detailed discussion. The results highlight that techniques such as cervical elastography, pessary use, cerclage, and progesterone therapy have contributed to reducing preterm birth risks, extending pregnancy duration, and improving maternal-fetal quality of life. However, barriers such as unequal access to technologies and the need for professional training were identified. It is concluded that an integrated approach, combining advanced diagnostics and therapies with traditional practices, is essential to optimize management and improve accessibility.

Authors: Carvalho Lucas Jezuino , Mello Arthur Lobato Barreto
Published: February 2025

RESUMO 

INTRODUÇÃO: O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) é uma condição neuropsiquiátrica que pode afetar o neurodesenvolvimento, manifestando-se desde os primeiros anos de vida e impactando comportamentos e interações sociais. No Brasil, a Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) desempenha um papel essencial na identificação precoce e encaminhamento de casos, alinhando-se aos princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) de descentralização e integralidade. 

OBJETIVOS: O objetivo principal é analisar a linha de cuidado para pacientes com TEA no contexto da APS e da Estratégia Saúde da Família. Os objetivos específicos incluem mapear fluxos de encaminhamento no Distrito Federal (DF), listar documentos orientadores da rede pública e descrever os métodos diagnósticos aplicados. 

MÉTODOS: Este trabalho baseia-se em uma revisão bibliográfica exploratória de caráter qualitativo, utilizando descritores como "Transtorno do Espectro Autista", "Sistema Único de Saúde" e "Atenção Primária à Saúde". Foram consultadas bases de dados científicas e documentos oficiais, como a "Linha de Cuidado para Atenção às Pessoas com Transtornos do Espectro do Autismo e suas Famílias" e a "Cartilha do Autista", além de relatórios da Secretaria de Saúde do Distrito Federal (SES-DF).

RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: A APS é a principal porta de entrada para o cuidado de pessoas com TEA no SUS, sendo responsável pela identificação precoce e pelo encaminhamento a serviços especializados. Apesar de avanços na estruturação das redes de atenção, persistem desafios como o acesso desigual a serviços especializados, falta de integração entre níveis de atenção e necessidade de maior capacitação dos profissionais da APS. A abordagem interdisciplinar e o diálogo entre saúde e educação são cruciais para um cuidado integral. 

CONCLUSÃO: O estudo reforça a relevância da APS no cuidado às pessoas com TEA, destacando a importância de estratégias para diagnóstico precoce, estimulação e suporte contínuo às famílias. É fundamental investir na formação dos profissionais, aprimorar fluxos de cuidado e fortalecer a articulação entre diferentes níveis e setores, promovendo inclusão e equidade no atendimento às necessidades dessa população.

İnsanın, toplumun ve devletin inşasına zemin oluşturan; değer küresi ve kültür çerçevesi tarafından belirlenen bir tür varoluş serencamının tezahürü olan söz konusu serüven, sahip olmak ile olmak arasındaki ince farkındalığın eyleme ve söyleme yansımasının da adıdır. Değerler sferinin belirlenmesindeki bütün bilinç öznelerini ve aktif etkenleri teorik ve pratik alana taşıyarak dyadolojik bir uzlaşı zeminini oluşturmayı hedefleyen çalışma, hem insanlığın mefkûresinin inşasına katkı sağlayan isimlere karşı bir vefanın hem de gelecek nesillere ve insanlığa karşı bir sorumluluğun gereği olarak “kudret”ten “hâkimiyet”e evrilerek yürümektedir.

The theory, which is also inspired by Plato's conception of the ideal state, argues that an ideal world state can be established through the opportunity created by democracy and education, and by enabling the coexistence of the qualities of wisdom and rulership. This humanitarian state, which is based on ranks, built on the basis of morality and formed within the framework of culture, consists of a federation of cultures. The theory, which progresses locally by being influenced by Anatolia and its ancient values, also continues its march towards the universe and the cosmos. The idea that a new consensus can be created with dyads in a sphere woven with dichotomies is also valid for Ülken's humanitarian confederative world state theory. The theory of ‘Dominance’, which is identified with Ülken as the name of the adaptation of the integral structure of human beings to political theory, voices the hope that people with their differences can build a single world state with their similarities and common denominatorsrnKeywords: Hilmi Ziya Ülken, Dominance, Politics, Morality, Culture, Human, Humanism, Levels
Corporate governance and marketing performance of agricultural marketing cooperative societies in Uganda; Case study: Namungalwe Area Cooperative Enterprise, Iganga district
Authors:   ,   Uganda Martyrs University, Muhwezi B. Godfrey
Published: February 2025

This study examined the relationship between corporate governance and marketing performance of agricultural marketing cooperative societies, with Namungalwe Area Cooperative Enterprise Ltd (NACE) as the case study. The study objectives were; to examine the effect of corporate planning on marketing performance of agricultural marketing cooperative societies; to assess the effect of corporate staff control on marketing performance of agricultural marketing cooperative societies; and to examine the effect of corporate accountability on marketing performance of agricultural marketing cooperative societies. This research was mainly guided by the Agency theory of corporate governance, supported by stakeholder and resource dependency theories. A case study research design was used for this research. Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to select a representative sample of 66 respondents out of a population of 80 people using Krejcie and Morgan (1970) table. Structured questionnaires and interview methods were used to collect primary data, backed up by literature review to obtain secondary data. The following results were obtained; Findings of this study established that corporate planning role of the board is positively and significantly related with marketing performance of NACE with a correlation coefficient of 0.720. Results indicated a positive significant relationship between corporate staff control and marketing performance with a correlation coefficient of 0.724. It was also established that there was a significant positive relationship between corporate accountability and marketing performance of NACE with a correlation coefficient of 0.780. Corporate accountability was found to have the strongest relationship with the marketing performance of NACE since it produced the highest correlation coefficient of all the three. Recommendations of the study were made as follows; NACE’s board should put in place mechanisms to own up, take full charge and streamline corporate planning to enhance marketing performance; the government department regulating cooperatives and the cooperative Apex body (Uganda Cooperative Alliance) should design and implement tailor-made trainings for board members in areas of strategic planning in order to ably take on the responsibility and best practices of corporate planning that contribute to the desired marketing performance of their organisations; NACE’s board should develop a system of assigning performance targets to the management staff of NACE and utilize them to follow up and monitor staff performance with particular emphasis on enhancement of marketing performance and strengthen good corporate accountability practices like instituting and functionalizing internal audit committees.
Bulgarian Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology (BFOG) reference ranges for MCA PI and PSV
Authors:   Orthogyn Medical Center, Ignatov Petar , Yordanova-Ignatova Teodora
Published: February 2025

Introduction:
The assessment of fetal well-being is a key aspect of prenatal care. Doppler velocimetry of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), particularly the calculation of the Pulsatility Index (PI) and Peak Systolic Velocity (PSV), are well-established methods for monitoring fetal hemodynamics. The accurate interpretation of these values requires reference ranges specific to the given population. The lack of such reference data for the Bulgarian population motivated the present study.

Materials and Methods:
Between 2022 and 2024, we conducted a prospective, observational, cross-sectional study involving 725 low-risk singleton pregnancies between the 28th and 40th gestational weeks. All pregnancies were dated based on last menstrual period (LMP) and/or ultrasound measurement of the crown-rump length (CRL) in the first trimester. Pregnancies with complications, fetal anomalies, and multiple gestations were excluded. Measurements of MCA PI and PSV were performed by certified specialists following a standardized protocol. For each gestational week, we calculated the median, 5th, and 95th percentiles of the listed modalities.

Results:
Based on the collected data, we established reference ranges for MCA PI and MCA PSV in the Bulgarian population. Comparative analysis with other established nomograms revealed significant differences in the numerical values of both parameters across different gestational weeks.

Conclusions:
The development of local reference ranges for MCA PI is an essential prerequisite for more accurate calculation of the cerebro-placental ratio (CPR)—a key indicator for fetal well-being in the third trimester. Furthermore, analyzing variations in MCA PSV within the Bulgarian population enables a more precise diagnosis of fetal anemia during intrauterine development.

Authors: Vidal Melvin , Tamayo Ma. Rosario
Published: February 2025

This study assesses the implementation of Provincial Ordinance No. 016 Series 2017, known as the Public-Private Joint Venture Ordinance, in Batangas Province, Philippines. The ordinance provides a legal framework for promoting a partnership between public and private sectors to address infrastructure and socio-economic challenges. The research focuses on assessing the ordinance's implementation, particularly in terms of projects and modalities, procedures, regulation, and accountability, while identifying problems encountered, such as stakeholder collaboration, risk management, and regulatory efficiency. Using a descriptive research design, data were collected from 380 department heads of local government units (LGUs) involved in Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects through a validated survey instrument. Statistical analyses revealed that the ordinance is generally implemented, with the highest ratings for project initiation and execution but notable gaps in contract management and monitoring. Challenges included procedural inconsistencies and limited stakeholder engagement. Results demonstrated significant relationships between the effectiveness of ordinance implementation and the problems encountered, underscoring the need for robust governance mechanisms.

Educational Beliefs, Career Planning, and Teaching Practice Ability Among Science Teachers in Chinese Primary Schools
Authors: Jie Wu
Published: February 2025

This study aimed to assess the educational beliefs, career planning, and teaching practice of the Chinese primary school science teachers. The findings revealed that while teachers generally held positive attitudes toward their profession, there were areas where improvement was needed, particularly in terms of professional identity, educational beliefs, and teaching practice abilities. Primary school science teachers were not satisfied with their career planning in terms of understanding themselves and their careers, setting goals, and achieving goals. Teaching practice ability includes basic teaching skills, classroom teaching ability, job satisfaction and innovative teaching, etc., and is at an unsatisfactory level.
The study also found that teachers of different genders, ages, educational backgrounds, and teaching experience had significant differences in educational beliefs, career planning, and teaching practice abilities, with females, 20-25 years old, PhDs, and teachers with 26 years or more of service being evaluated relatively well. Furthermore, there is a significant positive correlation between educational beliefs, career planning, and teaching practice ability. This suggests that a strong foundation in educational philosophy and career path can positively impact teaching effectiveness.
Based on these findings, the study recommends several strategies to enhance the professional development of primary school science teachers. Relevant training and discussion activities should be carried out to improve teachers' professional identity and educational beliefs. Strengthen guidance on teachers' career planning to help them better understand their careers, goals, and develop actionable action plans. Provide more opportunities to enhance teachers' ability, especially in innovative teaching. Tailor individualized support across diverse teacher populations. By addressing these areas, it is possible to improve the quality of science education and student learning outcomes.
Occupational Hazards and Environmental Consequences of Sandstone Mining: A Case Study from Soorsagar, Jodhpur, Rajasthan
Authors: Saha Bikas
Published: February 2025

Mining plays a crucial role in the economic growth and supports national development. However, it also raises significant concerns due to its environmental impact and health risks, particularly in the nearby areas. In India’s sandstone mines, both mechanical and manual methods are employed. Mining operations rely heavily on equipment such as trucks, dumpers, compressors, drills for blasting, and cranes for lifting heavy blocks. These activities generate large amounts of dust containing high levels of silica, which poses severe health risks. Prolonged inhalation of silica dust can lead to silicosis, a preventable but serious disease characterized by dyspnoea (shortness of breath) and persistent cough, and is sometimes associated with lung cancer and tuberculosis. Silicosis is one of the most common occupational diseases globally and has a significant impact on workers' health in developing countries like India. The use of heavy machinery and vehicles also creates high levels of noise and vibration in the surrounding. Prolonged exposure to noise can result in occupational hearing loss due to neurosensory deafness. Additionally, continuous exposure to whole-body vibrations leads to degenerative spinal conditions, including chronic back pain. Although stone quarrying near Soorsagar, Jodhpur, contributes to both the rural and national economies, its environmental consequences are considerable. Unplanned and haphazard quarrying has resulted in environmental degradation, and unauthorized mining activities have further worsened the local ecological balance.
