Objective: To evaluate Integrated Child Development Services Scheme in Kangpokpi District of Manipur in terms of input, process and outcome indicators. Method: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted at a tribal hilly district of Kangpokpi in Manipur. The study included ICDS staff and beneficiaries of 35 randomly selected Anganwadi Centres (AWCs). Data related to ICDS was collected by using interview schedules and checklists. The descriptive data were expressed in terms of mean, standard deviation and percentage. Association between important background characteristics and Anganwadi centre attendance was analysed using chi-square test. Ethical clearance was obtained from the institutional Ethic Committee of JNIMS, Imphal before conducting the study (study period: May 2018 to April 2021) Results: Input indicators: The study found that86% anganwadi centres were run in anganwadi worker’s own house. Two-thirds of the anganwadi workers (65.7%) were found to have separate toilet and 22.9% had separate kitchen. Process indicators: Even though the proportions of beneficiaries accessing services from anganwadi centres were high, the number of days Supplementary Nutrition (SN) was provided in a month was comparatively low (mean: 2.97 and SD: 0.618 for under-6 children and mean: 1 and SD: 0.000 days for adolescent girls, pregnant women and lactating mother in a month) due to frequent interruption of supplementary nutrition supply. There was no supplementary nutrition stock in 74.3% of the anganwadi centres on the day of visit. Outcome indicators: Regarding the nutritional status 90% of Under-6 children were found to be normal, 9% underweight and 0.6% severely underweight. Conclusion: The Integrated Child Development Services Programme in the study area was found to have several short-comings both in terms of inputs and process.

Traitors in Tserents’s Historical Novels
Authors: Aloyan Levon
Published: November 2022

This article examines the characters of disunited and treacherous ministers in the
novels "Toros, Son of Levon," "Travails of the 9th Century," and "Theodoros Rshtuni,"
with the goal of studying and comparing the treacherous characters in Tserents' historical novels with those in Raffi's and Muratsan's works, as well as bringing out the infamous and contemptible attitude of the Armenian elite, ministers, princes and clergy towards the fate of the homeland and its people.
The historical-comparative and historical-analytical methodologies were employed
in the course of the research.
Following the previous studies, the author explores the theme of betrayal in three
novelists' works written written different period of time, and comes to the conclusion that in order to preserve the independence of the homeland and the identity of the people, it is necessary to acknowledge the importance of the notions of national unity and patriotism.
Three novelists' works contain plenty of insidious, materialistic, and cowardly Armenian
traitors who, by prioritizing their own personal interests and welfare over national and
state interests, bring great misfortune to the Armenian statehood and homeland through their treacherous activities. The denial of homeland, people, religion while allying with foreign dictators against the interests of the people is a grave crime and betrayal that deserves the harshest punishment.
Some Unique Colophon-Exemplares in Armenian Manuscripts
Authors: KHACHATRYAN OVSANNA
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this article is to specify a very important feature of the colophons in
the Armenian manuscripts - their exemplary character.
The objective of the work is to present the importance of colophon-exemplares in
codicology.
The work is written applying the historical-comparative and comparative methods.
The results of the research show that though colophons are mostly written in colophon-patterns, there are colophon-exemplares of a complete colophon too. There is a typical colophon-exemplar in the Ms. 2335 of Matenadaran (M, Jerusalem, 1476), and there are examples of inscriptions-colophons: a colophon for writing on a fountain and on a cup in the Ms. M 3461 (Tʻokhatʻ, 1662). Comparing the information of the colophons written in the same colophon-exemplar of the manuscripts M 3633, 5664, 6059, 8454, 8578, we clarified the "kinship" connections of those manuscripts. We also found out the place of writing of the Ms. M 8578 (Moks province), as well as who the scribe Sargis was.
He is Sargis Hizantsʻi, the brother of the famous miniature painter Martiros Hizantsʻi from Hizan province.
In other words, due to collecting and classifying colophons written on the basis of
the same colophon-exemplar, it is possible to find out not only various data concerning
the circumstances of the origin of those manuscripts, but also to solve various
codicological issues.

SYSTEM
Authors: HAKOBJANYAN ANNA , MIRZOYAN NARINE
Published: November 2022

The purpose of the scientific article is to examine the general provisions of
borrowers’ creditworthiness assessment models of commercial banks in the Republic of Armenia. In the framework of this, borrower’s ratings are becoming more popular as a method for assessing liquidity risk in commercial banks. To achieve this goal the
necessary data from five commercial banks in RA was gathered and studied.
As borrowers' ratings are becoming increasingly important due to the growth of
provided loans, the rating models of the above-mentioned commercial banks were
studied and analyzed.
The borrower's rating fully determines the terms of cooperation between the bank
and the client, as well as outlines the bank's policy within the framework of the application of the mortgage's and its limits.
During the research the methods of factor analysis, comparison, and statistical
analysis were applied.
It can be concluded that the analysis of the above models of ratings of commercial
banks showed that each commercial bank has its own individual rating model, which,
however, has certain disadvantages, which were discussed in the article. It is also
important that commercial banks analyze both financial and management reports in order to assign an internal rating, which makes the latter more realistic.
MATEVOS MURADYAN’S SCHOLARLY EXPEDITION «KARABAKH-58»
Authors: TIGRANYAN MARIANNA , SARGSYAN LINDA
Published: November 2022

The contribution of musicologist and folklorist Matevos Muradyan (1911-1987) to
the process of collecting and recording the musical folklore of Artsakh is undeniable.
During 10 scholarly expeditions, organized in the Soviet period and carried out under the leadership of M. Muradyan, more than 1800 folk and ashugh songs were recorded, which are now carefully stored in the A. Kocharyan Audio Library at NAS RA Institute of Arts.
Among M. Muradyan’s expeditions, “Karabakh-58” – the first musicological expedition to
Artsakh, organized by the Institute of Arts of the Academy of Sciences of the Armenian
SSR – is worth highlighting, during which a total of 52 songs and instrumental samples
were recorded. Folk music of Artsakh has not been studied to date, although rich musical folklore of the region once attracted Komitas, S. Demuryan, G. Syuni, as well as R. Atayan. One of the major problems during the work was difficulty understanding the audio material (the Artsakh dialect), which was due to the limited technical capabilities of the recording devices of the period (the 50s). From M. Muradyan’s “Karabakh-58” expedition, a remarkable example of a rustic lullaby “Sleep, my baby” is presented in the article for the first time. Drawing parallels with the traditional peasant songs, recorded by Komitas (“Dzig tu, kashi”) and R. Atayan (“Karabakh Horovel”), as well as conducting comparative analysis with other song examples of the region, we have come to the conclusion that musical folklore of Artsakh possesses distinctive features, one of which is the Phrygian scale with an auxiliary tertian base and lowered 4th degree.

Authors: TURKO Olha , OLENDR Tetiana
Published: November 2022

The article deals with the lexical-grammatical nature of half-predicative appositive units as idiolect markers of Ukrainian literature of the late 20th - early 21st centuries, and the type of semantic-syntactic connection between the identified component of the separated substantive unit and the appositive unit. One-word half-predicative units have been described in relation to the signified component in terms of semantic and grammatical indices; phrasal, coordinating series and sub-appositive separated components have been analyzed by the nature of the morphological expression of an appositive unit. In addition, the models of half-predicative appositive units have been described by the valency of the appositive unit with the attributive syntaxemes. The research has proved grammatical interdependence between the identified component and the half-predicative appositive unit, which is manifested in the literary context. All selected examples to designate the denotative field “man” are composed by continuous writing out, which testifies their frequency and idiolectivity.

The Alpha Female: Speech and Thought Presentation of the contemporary Filipino woman in Magnificence
Authors: Diva Maria Cecilia Jhadziah
Published: November 2022

This paper sought to unravel the contemporary views on Filipino woman through speech and though presentation using Magnificence written by Estrella Alfon. Speech and thought presentation is primarily concerned as to how a writer reveals the speech and thought of their characters as they interact with other characters in the literary work. As literature remains a reflection of the society, speech and thought presentation gave way to the perception of how a Filipino woman is now seen in the society. The analysis revealed the following views: an unconventional woman as a mother; an equal partner; and a ‘magnificent’ and headstrong woman. As these contemporary views on Filipino were explored, an acceptance to more progressive perspective on the Filipino women will most likely emerge in the future.

The goal of science education is to increase students’ scientific literacy, which includes the acquisition of scientific knowledge, to become informed and active citizens who can make decisions that influence their health, environment, or society. In line with this, the study sought to determine the efficacy of using infographics in enhancing the scientific knowledge of 160 grade 8 students in Alaminos Laguna. Furthermore, it investigates the students’ dual coding cognition as inputs to developing the infographic materials. It also evaluates students’ preferences for static and animated infographics, and evaluators’ ratings of the created infographics. This study is descriptive developmental in nature, as it employs survey questionnaires to assess students’ dual coding cognition, students’ preference for static versus animated infographics, and experts’ ratings on the designed infographic materials. It also creates, designs, and assesses infographic learning materials in accordance with the criteria established to be effective. The results showed that students’ dual coding cognition in terms of verbal and imagery is both “practiced” and that both infographics were “preferred” by the students. The static infographics received an “excellent” score from the expert raters, while animated infographics received a “very good” rating. The result generated showed infographics enhanced learners’ performance and demonstrated a substantial difference between their pre-and post-test scores in terms of scientific knowledge. The findings indicate that using infographics to increase students’ scientific knowledge and academic performance was indeed beneficial.

In the new normal, educational institutions find ways for teaching-learning to continue. It is remarkable that distance education has been a great means of continuous learning. In this kind of learning condition, access to quality learning is paramount. The main goal of this research was to determine the effect of the factors of distance education on learning quality during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research design was an exploratory descriptive approach that involved the teachers and students in the Senior High School (SHS) Department of four different campuses. Based on the results, the factors in distance education such as instructional design, support system, and implementation significantly predicted the learning quality of SHS students during the COVID-19 pandemic. When grouped according to campuses, the perceived level of learning quality in distance education noted a significant difference. This may indicate that learning quality can be intensified by the factors in distance education and be carried out on the four campuses. This intensification may be considered in the formulation of the Distance Education Program in the SHS on all campuses of the university.
