Authors: A. Boiser Garin
Published: August 2024

Considering the sudden shift from traditional learning to online and the closure of HEIs during the coronavirus-19 pandemic, issues associated with the adoption of online learning have emerged. A fully online flipped classroom pedagogical approach was employed to face these difficulties in teaching the Core Teacher Education Program at Central Mindanao University, College of Education. Within this context, the study aimed to investigate the factors that contribute to the learning satisfaction of pre-service teachers in a fully online flipped classroom. Specifically, the study focused on the role of engagement and self-regulation skills in predicting learning satisfaction. The descriptive-correlational technique was used in the study to provide a more in-depth grasp of the research concerns. The study's participants were pre-service teachers enrolled at Central Mindanao University's College of Education's Core Teacher Education Program. The researcher employed a self-report questionnaire to assess student involvement, interest, and motivation in the online learning environment to quantify engagement. A similar selfreport questionnaire that examined the ability to create objectives, manage time, and govern one's own learning was used to test self-regulation skills. Learning satisfaction was examined using a Likert scale questionnaire that rated pre-service teachers' overall satisfaction with the fully online flipped classroom approach. The questionnaire data was evaluated using statistical approaches such as correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. This study found that pre-service teachers in a fully online flipped classroom were highly engaged and demonstrated strong self-regulation skills. They were satisfied with the active learning opportunities provided by the approach. The study also revealed a significant relationship between engagement, self-regulation skills, and learning satisfaction. Specifically, learning engagement and metacognitive skills were identified as predictors of learning satisfaction. These findings suggest that the fully online flipped classroom approach can be an effective alternative to hybrid instruction and can be adapted for online learning in higher education post-COVID-19.

Published: August 2024

Context: Since the 1960s, abbreviated geographic information systems, more commonly GIS, which are techniques combining cartography with databases, have emerged thanks to a grouping of information structured and organized in a certain logic in the computer tool called server. Our study focuses on jointly funded road projects. The latter comes up against the inaccessibility of remote work data since they are poorly archived; it is necessary to ask how to continue the control, and the correct archiving of the data of these projects so that we can have remote access and in real time if necessary? Objective: Development of a geographic information and road project monitoring tool based on a multifunctional database. Material and method: data collection with excel software and a smartphone, close to the project engineers, presentation of the processing and analysis processes of the acquired data (georeferencing which made it possible to set all the layers in the same repository, the digitalization of the linear concerned) as well as the development of the database followed by the design of the tools and production of the maps of the various projects. Results: Implementation of a webmapping tool for the archives and remote data access consisting of a database supported by a dynamic information exchange tool and a cartographic interface configured for publication, visualization, project mapping. Conclusion: This tool must allow the archiving of data from work already carried out, remote access to this data, monitoring of the progress of work, as well as the visualization of the cartography of the various works built.
The Influence of eHRM on the Desire for Excellence: A Perspective Based on Daniel Pink’s "Motivation 3.0" Theory
Authors: Ivlev Iustin
Published: August 2024

This article explores the influence of electronic Human Resource Management (eHRM) on the desire for “mastery" or excellence, a central element of intrinsic motivation as described by Daniel Pink in his book “Drive". Using Self-Determination Theory as the theoretical framework, the analysis demonstrates that eHRM can stimulate the desire for mastery by facilitating skill development, providing performance feedback and evaluation, as well as promoting collaboration and knowledge exchange. However, careful implementation of eHRM is crucial to ensure that technology supports, rather than undermines, intrinsic motivation. The article provides practical recommendations for using eHRM to support the desire for mastery and identifies important directions for future research in this field.

AN ANALYSIS OF CONTEMPORARY PHENOMENOLOGY IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF MIND
Authors: Kimani Sabas
Published: August 2024

In the 21st century Philosophy of mind is naturally understood in terms of a certain historical progression. After rejecting introspection as unreliable, some behaviorists sought to understand the mind strictly in terms of widely available data. Nevertheless, behaviorism cannot account for certain inner feelings and states, so the identity theory emerged as a viable physicalist alternative. The identity theory posits a strict, reductive identity between brain states and mental states. However, the one-to-one link between psychological terms and corresponding physical terms was problematic, since terms like “pain” seem to have many relations to physical kinds. To address this issue functionalists described mental states in terms of a kind of finite machine or probabilistic mechanism, defined by a pattern of relationships between inputs, outputs, and other internal states. These structures have the attractive feature that they can multiply and be realized in different physical systems. Consequently, contemporary philosophy of mind has rediscovered phenomenology, notwithstanding in a fairly impoverished form. Contemporary philosophers of mind often address the “phenomenology” of a particular form of experience by inquiring whether “there is something that it is like” to undergo it. The phrase is suggestive, but it has led to a severe phenomenology, an account of the “small mental residue” that materialist theories leave unexplained. On the other hand, this narrow conception of phenomenology has been expanding. “Liberal” accounts of phenomenal character include emotional-affective, agentive, and cognitive experience. Intentionality has been pursued in an increasingly phenomenological way. These and related projects come closer to phenomenology as historically conceived, which was extremely rich in terms of its method, scope, and conceptual apparatus. In this article we give an overview of the phenomenological tradition. In addition, we survey some of the many ways phenomenology overlaps philosophy of mind, how they have shared historical origins in Brentano, Frege and Husserl; the areas of numerous thematic overlaps and the active collaborations. Finally, we shall argue about how phenomenology and philosophy mind can interact.

Published: August 2024

Background: Pentacuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital anomaly associated with symptoms ranging from chest discomfort to palpitations, audible murmur, exertional and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. Progressively worsening exertional dizziness, as seen in the following case, was not recorded in published literature. Case Summary: A 54-year-old male presented with a history of progressive exertional dizziness associated with chest pain and dyspnea. His electrocardiogram (ECG) showed signs of left ventricular hypertrophy and the transoesophageal echocardiography revealed a pentacuspid aortic valve with moderately severe aortic insufficiency, non-coaptation during diastole, and it confirmed the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy. The patient also underwent coronary angiography which revealed normal coronary arteries. The case was managed with an aortic valve replacement surgery using a supra annular mechanical valve. Discussion: Transoesophageal echocardiography plays an important role in diagnosing valvular abnormalities or other structural heart defects. As seen in this case, the patient’s ECG showed signs of left ventricular hypertrophy, which required the use of other imaging modalities to confirm and determine the underlying cause.

Published: August 2024

Face recognition stands as a paramount cornerstone of biometric technology, wielding immense power across a spectrum of applications. Its prowess in security, authentication, identification, and a plethora of other advantages is beyond dispute. This technological marvel, with the finesse to autonomously identify or verify individuals within digital images or video frames, extracted from dynamic video clips, is a force to be reckoned with facial recognition systems, in their diverse manifestations, share a common modus operandi: they meticulously scrutinize selected facial features in a given image, juxtaposing them with a vast database of stored visages. But it's not limited to mere scrutiny; it's revolutionizing the attendance-taking process, an area notorious for its timeconsuming nature, especially when carried out by administrators. The primary objective of this automated attendance system is audacious: to seamlessly identify multiple faces in realtime, specifically tailored for educational institutions. Daily, it captures, compares, and updates the attendance records of students by scrutinizing images captured via cameras and contrasting them with the preloaded database under the administrator's custody. As the designated meeting time arrives, the system springs into action, capturing live video shots and subjecting them to the rigors of face detection and recognition techniques. Those students who meet the recognition criteria are swiftly marked as present, and their attendance records are enriched with timestamp and course identification. And for situations where students are tardy or absent, the administrator retains the power to manually adjust their attendance status. This system heralds a new era of efficiency and accuracy in the realm of attendance management.
Principal Component Analysis on Factors that Leads Students into Cultism
Authors: D. Fom Fulus,
Published: August 2024

Cultism in Nigerian higher education institutions has evolved into a pervasive menace, posing significant threats to education, safety, and the development of young minds. This study addresses a critical gap in the existing literature by empirically identifying the principal factors motivating students to join campus cults at selected tertiary institutions within Nigeria. Utilizing a quantitative cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 400 students across five institutions in Plateau State. Factor analysis revealed five major drivers of cultism: (1) Lack of support systems and disempowerment, (2) The pursuit of power, status, and revenge, (3) Academic frustration, (4) Negative peer influence, and (5) Deceptive cult recruitment practices. These findings offer vital insights into the multifaceted motivations for cultism within the institutional context and provide a foundation for evidence-based interventions. To combat cultism effectively, tailored measures such as counselling programs for students lacking family support, campaigns against negative peer pressure, academic structure improvements, and transparency about the dangers of cults during orientation are recommended. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of cultism within Nigerian tertiary institutions, enabling the development of context-specific strategies to enhance the quality, integrity, and progress of higher education in Nigeria.

WIND RESOURCE ASSESSMENT AND ITS ENERGY POTENTIAL IN NORTHWESTERN NIGERIA
Authors: A. F. Akpaneno , A. U. Idris
Published: August 2024

Nigeria has to create an alternative energy source from untapped wind, which is abundant in the region, in order to fulfill the growing need for clean energy to address the environmental challenges produced by the usage of fossil fuels. This study's objective is to assess seven locations in Nigeria's northwest on their potential for wind energy production. The Nigerian Meteorological Agency provided the 25 years of wind speed data (1996-2020) (NiMeT). In this investigation, the wind power density and wind energy density were derived using the Weibull twoparameter statistical model; the scale parameter (c) and shape parameter (k) were generated using the moment model. The acquired wind speed data was examined using Microsoft Excel. Nigeria's wind speed distribution shows that certain northern regions are capable of producing wind. Furthermore, an assessment of the wind energy resources in the area reveals that Kebbi and Dutse have the lowest potential at 86.52 and 7.69Wm−2 , with WED of 0.998 and 0.712 kWhm−2𝑑𝑎𝑦−1 , while Kano and Sokoto recorded the highest potential at 10m AGL, with WPD of 443.03 and 340.67 Wm−2 , respectively, and annual WED of 4.921 and 5.354𝑘𝑊ℎ𝑚−2𝑑𝑎𝑦−1 . Consequently, Kano, Sokoto, and Katsina are appropriate for large-scale wind power generation, while Gusau and Kaduna are best for small-scale wind power development. But given their poor wind potential, Dutse and Kebbi might not be feasible. It is advised that wind power be properly utilized since it is a significant energy source with enormous potential that will aid Nigeria in resolving its energy crisis. Additionally, since weather patterns throughout Nigeria are becoming more chaotic due to climate change, extensive research should be done to better understand the impact of these trends.

Nutritional status has a significant impact on the growth and development of children. In Indonesia, the prevalence of nutritional status is as follows: 4% (very thin), 7.2% (thin), 10.8% (overweight), and 8% (obese), as determined by body mass index/age. This can be affected by a variety of variables, including socioeconomic status, personal hygiene, and lifestyle. In the odd semester of 2024, Panyaweuyan Elementary School is populated by 285 students in total. The objective of this service endeavor is to conduct early nutritional status screenings for pupils and girls attending Panyaweuyan Elementary School. By assessing the nutritional status of children through anthropometric measurements such as height, weight, and body mass index, this service activity is developed utilizing the PDCA method. The findings from the assessments indicate that while the majority of pupils enrolled at Panyaweuyan Elementary School possess a healthy nutritional status, a subset remains obese and has a compromised nutritional status. Early detection is critical for preventing and treating nutritional issues in children so that they may develop to their full potential.

Pruritus, or itching, is a common symptom in seniors that has a significant impact on their quality of life. Primary skin disorders such as xerosis, atopic dermatitis, and scabies, as well as systemic diseases such as cancer, chronic renal failure, cholestasis, hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, iron deficiency anemia, and certain medications, can cause this condition. Chronic pruritus, which is common in individuals over 60 years of age, can cause discomfort, sleep disturbances, and psychological stress. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) methodology to screen for pruritus intensity in the elderly in St. Anna. One individual (2.4%) reported mild pruritus, while 12 individuals (29.3%) reported severe pruritus. Routine assessment using the 12-PSS provides important information for managing pruritus in the elderly, meeting clinical and research needs, and improving patient care and quality of life.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that the global population aged over 60 years will increase from 900 million in 2015 to 2 billion in 2050. This demographic is particularly vulnerable to disease and disability, with declining haemoglobin levels long considered a consequence of aging. Nutritional deficiencies, chronic diseases, kidney disease, haematological malignancies, and anemia of unknown cause can all contribute to anemia in the elderly. This significantly impacts physical performance, cognitive function, and overall health. We carried out this activity at St. Francis Assisi, Jakarta, with 36 participants. We perform a physical examination and a complete blood count, including haemoglobin and hematocrit levels, to detect nemia. Among the 36 participants, 18 people (50%) had mild anaemia, 6 people (16.7%) had moderate anaemia, and 1 person (2.8%) had very severe anaemia. Anaemia in the elderly can cause severe health consequences, including physical and cognitive decline, increased hospitalisations, and death. Routine screening for haemoglobin and hematocrit levels is essential for early detection and intervention, improving quality of life and health outcomes for older adults.

Temporary blood sugar is the level of glucose in the blood that measured without considering the time of the last meal, and often used to detect diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance. This community service activity aims to describe the distribution of blood sugar levels in 68 men and women of productive age at  Kalam Kudus II High School, Jakarta. This community service activity is carried out using the Plan-Do-Check-Action method. The results showed that the majority of respondents had normal fasting blood sugar levels (97.1%), with an average of 113.26 mg/dL and a median of 104 mg/dL. Lifestyle factors, nutrition, genetics, and chronic medical conditions can affect blood sugar levels at any time. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is essential for early detection and management of diabetes mellitus, which can prevent serious complications such as cardiovascular disease and nephropathy. Prevention strategies include a healthy diet, physical activity, patient education, and appropriate medical interventions. Comprehensive public health programs are needed to increase awareness and management of diabetes, as well as improve the quality of life of individuals affected by this disease.
