Can We Teach Environmental Education in English Courses?
Authors: Bercasio Rebecca Rosario O.
Published: March 2022

The preparation of teaching and learning resources in environment education (EE) is important because it supports the attainment of the goals of RA 9512 and addresses the lack of teaching and learning resources in EE (Kimaryo, 2011). Using mixed methods of research, the study aimed to review the English Education curriculum to identify entry points of EE integration using the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (DENR) EE materials, and to develop and to validate exemplar session plans with EE integration in different English Education courses. Data were gathered using documentary analysis, assessment of the DENR EE materials, and assessment of the proposed session plans using rubric. Results show that the entry points for EE integration is adequate, and that the DENR EE materials are found to be appropriate, relevant, and highly flexible as instructional materials for EE integration in English courses. EE can be integrated in the different parts of the lesson such as the motivation, lesson proper and assessment. The proposed session plans were rated excellent by the jurors, and therefore serve as acceptable and relevant materials for the mainstreaming of EE in the English Education curriculum. Wide dissemination and pilot-testing of the session plans integrating EE are recommended.
Required Navigation Performance (RNP) Analysis for ADS-B Data of Makassar-Jakarta Flight using Dot Product Method
Authors: Ruseno N , Putra A
Published: March 2022

Required Navigation Performance (RNP) is known as a performance parameter for a navigation system, where its function is to keep an aircraft within a certain radius of containment. During the flight, an aircraft transmits its real-time location-based on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) technology via Automatic Dependence Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) protocol. However, there are questions about the flight position accuracy. This research aims to analyze the accuracy of ADS-B flight data about RNP requirements. The flight data used is gathered from the FlightRadar24 website and filtered for each flight phase. The selected route used is Makassar (UPG) – Jakarta (CGK) because the route has the highest number of flights per week. The Dot Product method is proposed to calculate the distance between the flight trajectory to the line of flight procedure towards the destination airport. The analysis is conducted based on the compliance of the flight data to the RNP threshold. It is concluded that the majority of evaluated flights in the selected route fly within the RNP boundary. However, some non-complying flights become within the RNP boundary when they are evaluated with other possible published procedures
Managing the New Wave of Migration With Biometric Identification
Authors: Ujhegyi Péter , Kovács Tibor
Published: March 2022

Due to the geopolitical situation, the scarcity of raw materials, the foreign policy actions of the major powers, the excessive use of resources worldwide and the struggle for them, as well as the inequalities caused by the demographic explosion of developing countries, europe and thus Hungary from the wider Middle East region have been under considerable migratory pressure for a long time, and this has increased further in 2021 on the basis of statistical data. (Frontex). Europe is trying to provide more answers to the problem. It is trying to keep refugees as far away as possible by developing and improving living conditions in the countries where migration flows originate, as well as by establishing migration zones beyond the EU’s borders and financing them, because these problems need to start to be addressed and solved at local level. Despite all this, refugees are constantly reaching Europe, and unfortunately among them are not only those who fear for their lives and lose everything, fleeing war, but also economic migrants who join the wave of migration and are probably members of organisations that pose a threat to European values and public security. (Kotzur, Moya, Sözen, Romano 2020). By building physical border closures, several EU countries have closed certain migration routes, but this has not eliminated the problem, only the routes have been reorthled. The registration and clear identification of immigrants in the attempt to cross the border and their identification within the EU pose a number of unresolved problems for the authorities. (Beňuška, T., Nečas, 2021). We are reviewing and comparing the methods of identification used in border policing with modern biometric identification methods in order to draw attention to the fact that technology has long been ready to be used to protect our security in the service of European values and security. But at the same time, a significant deterrent is the difficult transition from entrenched solutions to the fear of misuse of biometric data. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to consider trade-offs in use and technology and to think more effectively together at EU level as a common solution on the regulatory side. (EU Regulation 399/2016).

Authors: Salud Ramon Angel P. , Leochico Carl Froilan D. , Ignacio Sharon D. , Mojica Jose Alvin P. , Ang-Muñoz Cynthia D.
Published: March 2022

In April 2020, the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine (DRM) of the University of the Philippines - Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) transitioned to a telerehabilitation program called ITAWAG, an acronym for Introducing Telerehab As a Way to Access General rehabilitation medicine services. This was in response to the designation of UP-PGH as a COVID-19 referral center and the abrupt closure of all its in-patient and out-patient rehabilitation services. Eleven previous in-patients and out-patients with musculoskeletal and neurologic impairments continued their rehabilitation programs remotely, either through a phone call or video call. Their clinical outcomes and the implementation of the ITAWAG program were monitored to determine the effectiveness of an offsite continuing care program. Using the Clinical Global Impressions-Severity (CGI-S) scale, eight patients had a reduction in the severity of their illness, while the remaining three clients had no change. Feedback surveys showed that most clients and caregivers (68%) and health providers (77%) were satisfied with the program's implementation and its outcome. A frequent complaint was the poor phone reception and internet connection. As threats of a COVID-19 outbreak continue, telerehabilitation gives patients a safe, affordable, and convenient alternative for follow-up and continuity of care in medical rehabilitation. Integrating the ITAWAG program into the initial facility-based rehabilitation management can enhance its value in optimizing functional gains and resolving its shortcomings.
Characteristics of Musculoskeletal Signs and Symptoms during the Recovery Phase of Patients with Moderate-to-Severe COVID-19 at the Philippine General Hospital
Authors: Evangelista Teresita Joy P. , Abiera Joycie Eulah H.
Published: March 2022

Introduction. Musculoskeletal complaints have been observed in the recovery phase of patients with moderate-to-severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We noted several referrals for physical rehabilitation at the University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH), a designated COVID-19 referral center. These observations resembled the musculoskeletal manifestations associated with poorer outcomes reported in other coronavirus studies.

Objectives. The study determined the musculoskeletal signs and symptoms of adults in the recovery phase of moderate to severe COVID-19 using the COVID Musculoskeletal Assessment Tool (CMAT).

Methods. This was a three-phased, prospective, descriptive study of adults admitted for COVID-19 at the UP-PGH. Phase 1 was the development of the CMAT based on a review of related literature and patient charts, and patient interviews. The tool was pretested and validated in Phase 2 before it was used in the evaluation of study participants in Phase 3 of the research. Data was encoded using Microsoft® Excel 2007 and analyzed using STATA, Version 12.0 (Texas, USA). Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the variables collected for the study.

Results. A cohort of 40 patients admitted at the UP-PGH for moderate-to-severe COVID-19 infection was evaluated using the CMAT. Most of the patients had an average age of 55 years and were males. Majority resided in an urban area, reached high school education, and were ambulatory before their illness. The most common comorbidities were hypertension and diabetes. All patients required oxygen support. Based on the CMAT, majority of the participants complained of muscle pain, generalized weakness, and easy fatigability. Other common findings were neck-shoulder and lower limb pain, dyspnea on exertion, limited mobility in the trunk, hips, and knees, joint pains, and decreased muscle strength. Half of the participants needed a wheelchair or walker to ambulate. These findings may be due to the COVID-19 disease and to prolonged confinement in bed. Only one patient underwent physical therapy through bedside instructions.

Conclusion. Musculoskeletal signs and symptoms were common in the patients recovering from COVID-19 disease. The COVID-19 Musculoskeletal Assessment Tool facilitated the evaluation of patients and the recording of results. Early referral for medical rehabilitation and timely intervention are strongly recommended.

Authors: A. S. Sujith , Aithal P. S.
Published: March 2022

Purpose: Globalisation has now become a very common word. It has been the topic of discussion during the last two decades. What globalisation implies is that a country's economy synchronises with the global economy. As the result, severe competition originated in the market. The firm-to-firm competition forced the companies to enhance their productivity and efficiency. Today, PA is used as a most imperative component of HR practices. It helps to assess the performance of employees based on predetermined standards and it enables the HR department to increase the efficiency of employees as well as the organisation. Greenberg was one to apply the theory of organisational justice to Performance Appraisal (PA). Application Greenberg's theory in performance appraisal helps to ensure the system of performance appraisal is fair and just. This study was conducted in five sub-sectors of the service sector in Kerala and primary data was collected from employees. The study is used to understand the application of Greenberg theory in service sector enterprises in Kerala to know the level of justice and fairness of PAS.
Methodology: The study was conducted in the service sector in Kerala. The primary data were acquired through a questionnaire. In this study, the different sectors (Financial Services, Tourism and hospitality, Media and entertainment, Telecommunications, Retail) were randomly selected. Organisations conducting a system of employee Performance Appraisal were considered in this study. A total of 543 samples were selected for the study from the five sectors. The samples were selected randomly. The questionnaire was used as a primary data collection tool.
Finding: The results found that, in Kerala, different sectors follow different methods of performance appraisal techniques to their employees. The methods are different from one sector to another. And the study also found that, the employees in the service sector enterprises in Kerala were believed that the performance appraisal system is fair and just. Finally, the study revealed that the private sector PA system is more effective than the public sector. The techniques used in the private sector were more competent than public sector enterprises.
Originality: This is used to conduct the application of organisational justice theory employee performance appraisal in the service sector enterprises in Kerala.

Análisis y modelización de los parámetros de influencia en la electroerosión por penetración de materiales de baja mecanizabilidad
Authors:   , Torres Salcedo Alexia
Published: March 2022

In the present doctoral thesis the analysis and the modeling of the most influential parameters on the EDM of three low machinability materials are dealt with. Specifically, the study is focused on the alloy Inconel® 600 (Special Metals Corporation) and on the ceramics titanium diboride (TiB2) and siliconised silicon carbide (SiSiC). Nowadays, these materials are of great interest for industrial applications in the aeronautical, nuclear and automotive sectors, due to the combination of good mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and extreme hardness at high temperatures. To carry out this study, Design of Experiments (DOE) techniques are used in order to plan and to select the values for these parameters, as well as, to obtain mathematical models to predict the optimum machining conditions. Moreover, the technological tables for such materials are determined in function of the following design factors: current intensity, pulse time and duty cycle, in the study ranges considered. From these tables, it is possible to achieve a certain surface quality based on two machining strategies: a machining strategy that maximises the material removal rate and other that minimizes the electrode wear. To obtain the technological tables, experimental values are used and, in those cases where it is not possible to provide data, nonlinear optimization methods are employed to predict these values, by using the generated mathematical models, based on the experimental results. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used so as to obtain information of the topography of the resulting surfaces after the EDM process. Finally, a new parameter called ‘energy density’ is proposed for further research in the EDM process.

We report a prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of giant neck hemangioma at 30+1 weeks in a fetus resulting in the postnatal development of Kasabach-Merritt syndrome. Ultrasound scan revealed a large isoechoic mass occupying the whole neck, infiltrating the nasopharyngeal cavity, tongue, lower lip and mandible. Complex sonographic visualization with 2D and 4D was helpful in the process of parental counseling. Key words: ultrasound – fetal neck – hemangioma – Kasabach-Merritt syndrome – congenital malformation

The global population structure and dispersal patterns of Pantala flavescens (Fabricius, 1798) are evaluated using a geographically extensive mitochondrial DNA dataset, a more limited samples of nuclear markers, wing isotopic (δ²H) data and a literature review. No spatial or temporal haplotype structure was recovered between the samples. Isotope data suggest that most samples were immigrants at the collection locations. A literature review of migration events for the species confirms regular inter-and intra-continental migrations occur (the majority reported from Asia, Africa and Australasia), with individuals and swarms dispersing thousands of kilometers over land and oceans. Migrations coincide with prevailing winds and seasonal rains, which points to a mechanism we name the “pantropical Pantala conveyor belt”, suggesting widespread gene flow is possible for an aquatic insect with excellent flying ability linked to rapid larval development.

Authors: Kapdi Manisha , Santoki Uma
Published: March 2022

Background: Endotracheal intubation is gold standard of general anaesthesia. But it has disadvantages of initiation of stress response to laryngoscopy and intubation. To alleviate it we have used Dexmedetomidine & Esmolol. Methods Group E – Inj. Esmolol (1.0 mg/kg) in 10 ml normal saline two minutes before induction Group D – Inj. Dexmedetomidine (1µg/kg) in 10 ml normal saline over 10 minutes prior to induction. Results and conclusion : both the drugs effectively supress stress response but Dexmedetomidine is better than Esmolol

Abstract: IntroductionThe syndromic management has been the cornerstone of management of  sexually transmitted infections (STIs) over the last few decades especially in developing  countries. But due to its inability to treat asymptomatic cases leading to undesirable sequeale,  it has received a lot of criticism recently. On the other hand, Evidence based management of  patients of vaginal and cervical discharge has lead to effective and timely management of  these patient but has increased the financial burden.Objective:The goal of the study is to compare syndromic vs. Evidence based approach in the  management of vaginal and cervical discharge. Method:The present study was conducted in the outpatient department of dermatology,  venereology & leprology of a tertiary care teaching hospital. 354 patients of clinical  impression of vaginal and cervical discharge were included in the study. Detailed history and  examination was recorded. Patients selected for syndromic management were managed as per  NACO guidelines. For evidence based management special investigations were carried out  and patients were managed accordingly. Result:Out of total 342 cases of VD, treated with syndromic and evidence based approach, p  value is significant for 7,14 and 21 days follow-up which means evidence based approach is  better than syndromic approach. Similar findings were observed in patients of cervical  discharge.Also, among CVV patients managed on lines of syndromic approach only 10%  showed improvement by end of one week. Conclusion:The control of STIs in resource-poor settings remains a major  challenge.Focus is now shifting towards a diagnostic model of STI care, given the  improving economic status of developing countries and availability of affordable point-of care testing. Also, various changes in the syndromic approach are needed immediately  for it to still remain relevant.

Published: March 2022

INTRODUCTION : In December 2019, a large outbreak of a novel coronavirus infection occurred in  wuhan hubei province, china. The disease caused by the virus, named novel  coronavirus disease (COVID-19) by the world health organization (WHO) can be  spread through human to human contact. In human coronavirus can cause spectrum  of diseases ranging from asymptomatic patient, simple cold cough to severe acute  respiratory syndrome ( SARS). HRCT is very useful to see the extent of disease  spread in lungs and to assess the severity of infection. It also helps in monitoring  the response and therapeutic effectiveness and prognosis. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: 1]To evaluate the various HRCT thorax Findings in RT PCR confirmed patients of covid-19 infection. 2] To correlate the findings of  HRCT of thorax with patient’s clinical symptoms. METHODOLOGY: A retro- prospective clinical study was carried out on patients who were referred for HRCT thorax to the Department of Radiodiagnosis, Sheth L.G. general hospital  having signs and symptoms of covid-19 and whose RT PCR report was awaited and who had undergone HRCT thorax and only patients who were RT PCR test positive  within 72 hours were taken in the study. Total of 250 patients from May 2020 to  January 2021, who confirmed covid-19 diagnosis with RT-PCR were taken.RESULTS In our study we found, the most common initial CT findings in COVID-19  pneumonia are bilateral, patchy or rounded ground-glass opacities that most frequently occur bilaterally and in the lung periphery with a subpleural basal predominance in  left lower lobe. Most common finding were patchy bilateral ground glass opacity  most commonly associated with inter and intralobular septal thickening giving crazy  paving pattern. Consolidation was also seen with or without GGO suggesting  infective etiology. CONCLUSION:HRCT Thorax may be useful as a standard method for the rapid diagnosis of  COVID-19 to optimize the management of severely ill PATIENTS.

Cloud computing is the delivery of shared computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence— over the Internet (“the cloud”) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale. To simplify, Cloud computing is on-demand delivery of IT resources. Many organizations are stuck in the conundrum of whether to cloudify or not to cloudify, mainly due to concerns related to the security of enterprise sensitive data. Removing this barrier is the pre-requisite to fully unleash the tremendous potential of cloud computing. The revolutionary principle of ‘Shared Resources’ is the cause of concern from Information Security point of view. Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, Authenticity, and Privacy are essential concerns for both Cloud providers and consumers as well. Security concerns have given rise to an active area of research due to the many security threats that many organizations have faced at present. This seminar report provides a concise study on data security and privacy protection issues associated with cloud computing. Then this report discusses some current solutions and finally describes some measures for top identified threats in data security and privacy protection issues in cloud.
Puzles dramáticos. Decisiones crí­ticas, dilemas éticos y narrativas complejas en el videojuego
Authors: Martín Núñez Marta , Porta Pérez Alberto
Published: March 2022

Todo videojuego cuenta con un sistema de penalizaciones y recompensas que ya implica una carga ética implícita. Sin em­bargo, algunos títulos despliegan una na­rrativa estructurada capaz de generar un contexto complejo que propone dilemas éticos para el desarrollo de una narrativa emergente. En este artículo nos centrare­mos en analizar el puzle dramático basa­do en dilemas éticos como una forma de tejer el diseño narrativo y la jugabilidad que permite activar situaciones complejas que ponen al jugador en aprietos éticos y que promueven retos mentales y emocio­nales. Analizaremos las estrategias lúdicas y narrativas de Gods Will Be Watching (De­constructeam, 2014), Papers, please (Lu­cas Pope, 2013) y This war of mine (11 Bit Studios, 2014) y los discursos que generan a través de la agencia del jugador que, además, nos permiten reflexionar sobre aspectos controvertidos de las sociedades actuales.
