Authors: Araun Paolo B.
Published: November 2023

E-learning has become the primary solution to ensure continuous education amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This approach relies on digital devices and emphasizes enhanced internet access for teachers and learners, given that the internet serves as the main conduit for information. This study aimed to examine how college students’ gender influences their experience with e-learning in SOCECON 10-The Contemporary World, a general education course offered at Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan. The research methodology employed a descriptive and quantitative research design to collect participant data. The survey questionnaire was developed based on the Demand-Driven Learning Model (DDLM) and employed a 4-point Likert scale. The questionnaire’s validity was confirmed using Cronbach’s Alpha. Cochran’s formula was applied to determine a sample size of 251 participants, selected through stratified random sampling. The findings revealed notable variations in students’ e-learning experiences based on gender, encompassing content, delivery, service, and outcome. Overall, the male students had a better e-learning experience.
The Prophetic Sunnah: A Second Source of Knowledge in Islam
Authors: Ashimi Dr. Tijani Ahmad
Published: November 2023

The prophetic Sunnah is considered the secondary source of knowledge in Islam. The holy Qur’an which is the primary source of knowledge in Islamic worldview has confirmed the necessity and the importance of the Sunnah in its various chapters; on the ground that the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) who is the founder of the Sunnah is an infallible and a chosen prophet by Allah to all mankind. Therefore, the prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) never acts according to his own desire, but he is always acting with the guidance of revelation from God. Based on this tangible fact, it is an undeniable fact that the prophetic Sunnah is an authentic secondary source of knowledge in Islam. Which is also able to provide valid knowledge not only in religious sciences, but, it is also able to provide us accurate knowledge of natural sciences and humanities. Thus, the objective of this article is to explore vis-a-vis the importance of the prophetic Sunnah, and provide the raison d’etre on the relevance of the Sunnah for our contemporary life. Yet, for the sake of academic paper the Quranic approach will be applied, that is by searching the validity and the relevance of the prophetic Sunnah to human life according to Quranic worldview. Lastly, the article will provide a brief conclusion followed by some suggestions and some recommendations.

Authors: Ssali Kizza Francis
Published: November 2023

The study was meant to establish the extent to which work life balance determines the retention of academic staff n Makerere and Kyambogo Universities. Its specific objectives were to establish the status of work life balance of academic staff, the level of academic staff retention and finally the extent to which work life balance determines academic staff retention in the two universities. The study took a descriptive and cross-sectional survey designs with a number of 298 academic staff and 4 administrative staff selected using stratified random and purposive sampling technique. Findings on the status of work life balance revealed an average mean 3.29 showing that it was fair. On the level of academic staff retention, a moderate mean 3.25 revealed a fair retention of academic staff in the two universities.

The study contributes to existing knowledge as have prove that the work life balance as one of the job fits and sacrifices significantly contributes to ASR Makerere and Kyambogo Universities.
Demographic Characteristics as Determinants of Poverty among Informal Food Vendors (IFV) in Camarines Sur, Bicol Region, Philippines
Authors: Lustre Mae S. A.
Published: November 2023

The paper assessed the socio-demographic profile of informal food vendors and its associated influence on their economic status. The respondents were categorized as poor or non-poor based on their annual per capita income. Information gathered from 200 vendors through direct interview were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency counts, weighted means, percentages, Chi-square test, effect size, and probit regression model. Results showed that the respondents are at their productive age. Most of them are married females who have reached secondary level. The effect size and chi-square test demonstrated a small significant association between household size to the economic status of the vendors respectively. Additionally, Probit analysis revealed that the relationship of household size to the economic status of the vendors was negatively significant. On the other hand, educational attainment was positively significant thus, attaining an additional education or years of training may reduce poverty among informal food vendors. To achieve this, the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) could offer entrepreneurial and technical education programs. These initiatives may encompass vocational training, such as food processing and food handling, as well as business management courses focused on areas like product development and marketing, importantly for women.

PRESCRIÇÃO CURRICULAR PARA O ENSINO DA MATEMÁTICA NOS ANOS INICIAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL NO MUNICÍPIO DE SALVADOR: INDICAÇÕES E DESAFIOS
Authors: Silva da Costa Shirley Conceição , Curi Edda
Published: November 2023

Este artigo apresenta os resultados de uma investigação sobre o currículo prescrito vigente no município de Salvador, com um recorte para o ensino da Matemática. Foi realizada uma pesquisa documental, tendo como objeto de estudo o Referencial Curricular Municipal para os Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. A discussão apresentada utilizou-se do método de análise de conteúdo, fundamentado em Bardin (2016), o que permitiu compreender as concepções adotadas na escrita do documento, em especial, nas prescrições curriculares que orientam o ensino de Matemática dos Anos Iniciais. Com as análises realizadas, percebeu-se que o atual currículo prescrito da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Salvador não está em conformidade com a BNCC (2017), documento normativo em vigência no Brasil, apresentando diferenças na abordagem, com a ausência da exploração de conceitos fundamentais para a garantia da equidade nos direitos de aprendizagem dos estudantes da Educação Básica. Os resultados apresentados contemplam, também, o documento entregue para o município, em 2018, que compara o currículo prescrito municipal com a BNCC, sem uma análise criteriosa dos arranjos curriculares em Matemática para os Anos Iniciais.

Authors: Ribeiro Freitas de Sousa Mirna , Soschinske Vieira Lis , Ferreira Olivindo Dean Douglas
Published: November 2023

O brincar representa um dos aspectos mais importantes na vida da criança e deve ser priorizado no cuidado da recuperação da sua saúde. A atual pesquisa é justificada pelo conhecimento das consequências que a hospitalização traz na vida da criança (ansiedade, medo, quebra de rotina), etapa difícil para o paciente pediátrico, portanto, foi levantada a questão norteadora da pesquisa "Qual é a importância do brinquedo terapêutico na assistência de enfermagem à criança internada em uma enfermaria pediátrica?", com objetivos de demonstrar através das evidências científicas a importância da assistência de enfermagem diferenciada no setor de enfermaria pediátrica utilizando o brinquedo terapêutico. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, feita nas bases Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Base de Dados da Enfermagem (BDENF), e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS). O resultado da amostra conta com 14 artigos incluídos. O brinquedo terapêutico auxiliou desde a entrada da hospitalização dos pacientes infantis, até na explicação de procedimentos que seriam realizados, citou-se o uso de bonecas, fantoches, luvas de procedimento e outros. Contudo, ainda existem barreiras na implementação desse recurso benéfico na rotina dos profissionais de enfermagem.
Emotional solidarity and tourism effect on support for tourism development: Residents’ perception
Authors: DÜŞMEZKALENDER Ebru , SEÇİLMİŞ Cihan , YILMAZ Veysel , YOUSSEF Omar
Published: November 2023

The present study employs a framework of residents’ emotional solidarity with tourists (e.g., welcoming nature, emotional closeness and sympathetic understanding), and tourism’s positive-negative impacts to understand residents’ support for tourism. The Research model was tested using a sample of 405 residents living in Alanya/Turkey. Data were collected using a face-to-face survey. Alternative models were used to test the theoretical structure of this study. The validity and credibility of the constructs were tested through confirmatory factor analysis, while its hypotheses were tested using path analysis. In Model 1, the dimensions of emotional solidarity and the positive and negative impacts of tourism and their direct effects on support for tourism were examined, and Model 2 showed results similar to those in Model 1. Results revealed that welcoming nature and sympathetic understanding had a positive effect on the positive impacts of tourism. However, emotional closeness did not affect the positive impacts associated with tourism. Regarding residents’ support, welcoming nature had the greatest positive effect on the support for tourism compared to other dimensions included in the framework of emotional solidarity, emotional closeness, and sympathetic understanding. The results of this study could enhance destination marketing managers when they need to understand residents’ support for tourism development.

Authors: Biwott Caroline
Published: November 2023

The effective improved cook stoves have been designed to offer environmental, socio-economic and health benefits that facilitates the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals. However, there is low adoption of effective improved cook stoves among the rural populations in Kenya. This study therefore sought to analyse communication lapses in the adoption of improved cook stoves in Kenya. The Research Questions of the study is: What are the communication lapses in the adoption of the improved cook-stoves in Uasin Gishu County? The study was anchored on Constructivist Paradigm and Qualitative research approach was adopted for the study. The study is a case study of Uasin Gishu County in Kenya. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 20 respondents for the study and the Qualitative data was collected using interviews research instruments. Thematic data analysis was used to analyse data qualitatively. The collected data was presented in the form of narratives. From the study findings, the study concludes that communication lapses have led to the low adoption of improved cook-stoves. There is limited use of Participatory communication strategies and media channels have not been utilised adequately to sensitise the rural populations on the health, environmental and socio-economic benefits of improved cook-stoves. It is anticipated that the study will be significant in emphasising the importance of using effective communication strategies to educate, create awareness and campaign for the adoption of improved cook-stoves and thus lead to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals.
Access Control Application Prevention and Mitigation of Cyber Attacks
Authors: Kaur Pawandeep , Farahlina Farahlina , Alam Aftab , Kaur Sukhminder , Sahota Roheender Singh
Published: November 2023

In the rapidly evolving landscape of cyber threats, safeguarding digital assets has become paramount for organizations worldwide. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of access control applications as a frontline defense against cyber intrusions. We delve into the mechanics of contemporary access control systems, highlighting their role in preventing unauthorized access and ensuring data integrity. Drawing on real-world case studies, we demonstrate the efficacy of robust access control measures in thwarting cyber-attacks and mitigating their potential impacts. Further, we explore the challenges faced in implementing these systems, such as ensuring scalability, managing user privileges, and maintaining system resilience. Our findings underscore the indispensable nature of access control applications in today’s digital age. By offering actionable insights and best practices, this paper aims to guide organizations in fortifying their digital infrastructures against the ever-present threat of cyberattacks. To ensure the security of data, it’s essential to update automation processes periodically. This not only safeguards the transfer of information, ensuring its authenticity and confidentiality, but also prevents tampering or misinformation. Incorporating access control into the security strategy can address this concern. Access control restricts data access to designated individuals within the organization. However, there’s an inherent risk: permissions could inadvertently be granted to unintended parties. To mitigate this, we recommend several solutions, with multifactor authentication being a prominent option for future implementation.
Demic Diffusion of the Yayoi People in the Japanese Archipelago

Published: November 2023

The present study examines the 3-dimensional data of human crania from the Yayoi period (800 BC to AD 250) of the Japanese archipelago by geometric morphometrics to investigate demic diffusion patterns. This is the first study on the Yayoi crania using their 3D data and geometric morphometrics with a much larger number of skeletal remains outside of the Kyushu regions than previous studies. The comparative results between the Jōmon and Yayoi samples show that the Yayoi people not only in the eastern parts but also in the western parts of the archipelago are significantly different from the final Jōmon people and the Yayoi people were not strongly affected by the Jōmon people. A relatively gradual geological cline is also found among the Yayoi population, suggesting that the immigrants from the continental East Asia moved from the western parts to the eastern parts of the archipelago though the causes of the morphological changes are unclear.
Social Impact of Dental Caries on Adult Patients in Bungoma County, Kenya
Authors: Sumba Caren Malong’o , Kokonya Donald Apollo , Wesonga Bernard , Kem Paul
Published: November 2023

Dental caries manifests itself through the existence of a hole in the hard tissue of teeth, and it has a brown or black colour. Untreated dental caries causes a lot of challenges such as toothache and eventually tooth loss resulting in swelling, inability to eat or swallow, inability to open jaw or talk, difficulty in breathing and low self-esteem as a result of the bad breath from cavity. The outcome of the social effect of dental caries is the inability to pronounce or talk, inability to chew, sleep disruption due to pain and difficulty in breathing especially for those who use the mouth to breathe. In Bungoma County, little is known about the social impact of dental caries among patients. Therefore, there was a need to investigate the social impact on adult patients in Bungoma County, Kenya. This study was conducted in Bungoma County. The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional study design. Adults with dental challenges and the dental staff formed the study population. The sample size was 347 dental patients. The sampling strategy was proportionate probability sampling and simple random sampling. Data was collected using a pretested WHO-modified assessment questionnaire of 2013, WHO-modified observation checklist and key informant interviews. Data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences tool (SPSS) v 25.0. Data was presented using tables, figures, narratives and verbatim. Association and strength between the variables were assessed using correlation, multiple regression and logistical regression at 0.05. Thematic analysis was used to analyse qualitative data. Results: The burden of dental caries according to sociodemographic was as follows: youth < 35 years was 60%, the female was 57.4%, rural dwellers had 56.8% and low-income earners had 65.6%. The study established that poor oral hygiene habits (OR: 1.2) frequent consumption of sugary food (OR: 1.0) and smoking contributed (OR: 0.8). Toothache due to cavity was 97.9% and tooth loss was 40.4% while bad breath was reported by 60.7%. There was a significant strong positive association between the level of teeth loss and the level of pain experienced by a patient with dental caries, (r (347) = 0.86, p < 0.001). the study concluded that dental caries was more prominent in those with poor oral hygiene practices, those who frequently consume sugary foods and those who smoke tobacco. Toothache, tooth loss and bad breath were the major social impacts of dental caries that affect the quality of the affected. The study recommended that community members should be informed to foster a habit of attending dental clinics occasionally at least once a year for a check-up.

Published: November 2023

The purpose of this research was to compare and contrast the efficacy of different teaching methods in preparing pre-primary school students for success in elementary school. Participants in the study included Curricula Support Officers (CSOs), Section Heads, Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE) center administrators, and educators. The study took a descriptive survey approach. The sample size of 215 was determined by Yamane's (1967) formula and was reached by the use of a systematic sampling technique. Focus group discussions (FGD), questionnaires, and in-depth interviews were all used to compile the data. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, and the results were presented in tables, while qualitative data underwent content analysis and was presented narratively. Parametric and non-parametric tests were utilized in inferential statistics, and a 5% significance threshold was applied in a logistic regression analysis to assess the null hypothesis. The Shapiro-Wilk and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests were used to check for normality. Since the calculated p-value of 0.042 was less than the required significance threshold of 0.05, the null hypothesis was rejected, suggesting that teaching practices had a sizeable impact on students' readiness for academic success. These results can be used by the County Government to provide better Early Childhood Development (ECD) programs. The National Government can use this information in policymaking and regulation to better track and control schools, which will improve students' readiness for the classroom. The results of this study may prove useful to teachers because they provide a variety of suggestions for improving the educational preparation of their students through ECDE programs.

O vírus SARS-CoV-2 é o responsável pela Covid-19. Este vírus se liga a componente celulares presentes nas células do hospedeiro e aproveita o seu o maquinário celular para produção de novos vírus. A infecção viral produz uma resposta inflamatória, que pode desenvolver danos graves ao sistema cardiovascular e respiratório, como também uma resposta inflamatória sistêmica. O início e a evolução dos danos celulares podem ser vistos, por meio dos achados hematológicos, principalmente na contagem de neutrófilos e linfócitos, nos pacientes infectados. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura do tema perfil das alterações nas células sanguíneas de pacientes infectados pela Covid-19. Foram encontrados 17 artigos na literatura, que contemplem os critérios de inclusão e exclusão O farmacêutico que atua no laboratório clínico (setor de hematologia) é o responsável pela gerência do mesmo, através da análise e interpretação de dados, que auxiliarão o médico. Sendo assim, faltam mais estudos que mostrem o fluxo da gestão na qualidade no laboratório clínico, desde a sua pré-análise, análise e na pós-analise, que enfatize a presença do farmacêutico e no compartilhamento de informações com a equipe de saúde, neste serviço essencial a população, na época da pandemia.

Abstract. Chromium (Cr) soil pollution is a pressing global concern that demands thorough assessment. The pollution-induced community tolerance (PICT) methodology serves as a highly sensitive tool capable of directly assessing metal toxicity within microbial communities. In this study, 10 soils exhibiting a wide range of properties were subjected to Cr contamination, with concentrations ranging from 31.25 to 2000 mg Cr kg−1, in addition to the control. Bacterial growth, assessed using the [3H]-leucine incorporation technique, was used to determine whether bacterial communities developed tolerance to Cr, i.e. PICT to Cr in response to Cr additions to different soil types. The obtained results revealed that at concentrations of 1000 or 2000 mg Cr kg−1, certain bacterial communities showed inhibited growth, likely attributable to elevated Cr toxicity, while others continued to thrive. Interestingly, with Cr concentrations below 500 mg Cr kg−1, bacterial communities demonstrated two distinct responses depending on soil type: 7 of the 10 studied soils exhibited an increased bacterial community tolerance to Cr, while the remaining 3 soils did not develop such tolerance. Furthermore, the Cr level at which bacterial communities developed tolerance to Cr varies among soils, indicating varying levels of Cr toxicity between studied soils. The dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and the fraction of Cr extracted with distilled water (H2O-Cr) played an essential role in shaping the impact of Cr on microbial communities (R2=95.6 %). These factors (DOC and H2O-Cr) contribute to increased Cr toxicity in soil, i.e. during the selection phase of the PICT methodology.

Clean water is a primary necessity for human survival, but due to limited access to clean water sources, wells are often used to meet this need. However, water from wells cannot be used directly because its quality varies depending on the soil conditions. Due to these differences, a filtration system needs to be installed in the treatment of raw water from the well. In the process, well water, after being processed through the filtration system, experiences a decrease in flow rate before being stored in water tanks. This creates a problem, namely excessive electricity consumption and insufficient water flow for household use. In this research, the researcher attempts to implement the SNI (Indonesian National Standard) standards in household-scale clean water treatment, whereas previous research focused more on water quality testing. The objectives of this research are to reduce electricity consumption and increase water flow to meet household needs.

Regarding the research method, the researcher conducted a literature review, data collection, pre-improvement testing, redesigned pipeline planning, performance testing of the improvement results, and analysis of the outcomes. The results of this research show that for the 1-liter container testing, the required time has increased, with the fastest time being 6.4 seconds and the slowest being 6.7 seconds, compared to the initial testing, which had a range of 13.2 seconds to 13.6 seconds. As for electricity consumption, there has been a significant decrease, from 2.76 A in the initial testing to 1.76 A, resulting in an average power consumption of 200.3 watt, compared to the previous 603.7 watt.
