Twenty-four male Nellore steers (445 ± 31 kg initial body weight) were used to evaluate the effects of different doses of phenolic compounds from a propolis-based product (PBP) on growth performance, carcass traits, and meat fatty acid (FA) profile. The total mixed ration consisted of 470 g kg-1 corn silage and 530 g kg-1 concentrate (dry matter [DM] basis), which were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: control (CON, without phenolic compounds from the propolis extract), PBP1 (225 mg of phenolic compounds g-1 of propolis dry extract), and PBP2 (300 mg of phenolic compounds g-1 of propolis dry extract). The animals were fed in a feedlot for 84 days and presented an average final body weight (FBW) of 542 kg. Dietary addition of phenolic compounds had no overall effect on growth performance. Mean values for dry matter intake, average daily gain and feed conversion ratio were 9.99 kg d-1, 1.14 kg d-1 and 8.82 kg DM kg gain-1, respectively. Hot carcass weight and hot carcass yield had average values of 308 kg and 56.8%, respectively. In addition, carcass traits did not change after PBPs were added to the diet, except for the ribeye area, which was higher for PBP2 (21.5 cm2 100 kg-1) than for PBP1 (18.6 cm2 100 kg-1). Dietary addition of PBPs maintained redness better than the controls after 9 days in the refrigerator; no major changes were observed in the meat FA profile after the addition of PBPs to the diet. These results suggest that phenolic compounds present in propolis (300 mg g-1) have positive effects on meat color and improve the sensory quality of meat.

Perception of Elementary School Heads and Teachers on Child Protection Policy in Private Schools in Tanauan City Division
Authors:   Sto. Tomas Senior High School Batangas, Philippines, B. Baronia John Meldwin
Published: May 2022

Child-friendly schools dramatically minimize or remove frequent physical threats and other types of violence occurring in and around schools and learning spaces, such as teachers' corporal punishment, student-on-student abuse, gang wars, bullying, sexual assaults, other forms of gender-based abuse and external group school assaults. Schools that are child-friendly need to collaborate with parents and local groups to avoid abuse. To protect children from physical damage and mental, physical, emotional and sexual violence, simple, transparently implemented policies and procedures and firm measures must be in place. The study's main objective was to evaluate the awareness rates of principals and educators’ engagement on the Child Protection Program at Tanauan City Division's Private Schools, Batangas. The argument is that officials in child-friendly schools should be vigilant in recognizing child violence and neglect, and should be prepared to act in compliance with national laws and policies on child safety, including compulsory reporting to police or other legal authorities. The school's position in serious child protection matters is not to investigate them but to identify cases that need attention and refer them to appropriate child care agencies. The descriptive method of research was used in this study using a survey questionnaire as the main instrument to gather data. The respondents of the study were 15 principals and 185 educators in the said Private Schools in Tanauan City Division. Statistical tools like weighted mean were used in determining the extent of implementation of Child Protection Program and level of perceptiveness of principals and educators. The non-significant differences between their perceptions were established using the t-test formula. Meanwhile, the Pearson r product-moment correlation and r-test were used to resolve the nonsignificant relationship between the extent of implementation of Child Protection Program and level of participation of principals and educators. The result indicated that the views of the two groups of respondents were not substantially different, although both stated that there was intense observance of involvement in the execution of the school manager's duties and responsibilities. It further revealed that there was no shared agreement between the heads of school and teachers about the school manager's roles and responsibilities in enforcing child protection policy. Child-friendly schools should be prepared to recognize, refer and evaluate vulnerable children, especially those who have suffered, suffered or are at risk of serious harm.

Published: May 2022

The objective of this research is to analyze the conceivable cointegration and direction of causality among the oil price, trade openness, foreign direct investment and the growth rate in Thailand, using the time series data from 1974 to 2018. In addition to these variables’ fiscal development and inflation are also employed to observe the influence of financial openness on economic growth. Johansen cointegration test is utilized to detect long-run relationship incorporated with the vector error correction for the short-term association. Further, granger causality is utilized to determine the direction of causality among the contending variables. The outcomes of Johansen and vector error confirms the short and long-term affiliation among variables in Thailand. The coefficient of VECM (Wald test) detect the cumulative influence on the growth rate. The estimations of granger causality affirmed that oil price, inflation, fiscal development via trade, granger cause the growth rate and the fiscal development and foreign direct investment granger causes the growth rate in bi-direction and uni-direction, respectively. The study suggests, based on the impulse response function (under the consideration of the behavior of variables) government should liberalize trade openness as it fortifies the position of Thailand in the neighbored.

Published: May 2022

The study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of collaborative inquiry approaches such as problem-based learning and project-based learning on improving the thinking and reasoning skills of students. Furthermore, it aimed to determine the difference in pretest and posttest scores, and correlate the students’ perceived effectiveness on the approaches’ process, implementation and outcomes to the mean posttest scores. Descriptive-comparative research design was used. Sixty Grade 10 students clustered into two groups were selected as respondents in San Pablo City Science Integrated High School during the academic year 2018- 2019. Survey questionnaires and pretest-posttest questions were utilized to obtain the data. Results revealed that there was a significant relationship between the students’ perceived effectiveness of collaborative inquiry approaches and their mean posttest scores in thinking and reasonings skills. However, the results of the pretest and posttest of the students were significantly different. On the other hand, there was no significant difference between the students’ mean posttest scores exposed to problem-based learning and project-based learning. Both learning approaches can co-exist inside the classroom as effective modes of teaching real-world learning and building future-ready skills.

Published: May 2022

Due to the unprecedented change in science and technological advancement, strengthening of STEM Education in the Philippines becomes an important goal under the K to 12 Curriculum aimed to produce 21st century and globally competitive learners. The educational reform was implemented even in rural areas to lessen inequalities and poverty in consonance with Education for All (EFA) and Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs). Senior high school (SHS) students can take STEM strand towards STEMrelated careers without going into Science high schools or universities. However, very few students are opting for STEM because of grade requirements and negative perceptions towards STEM. Those who enrolled failed to finish and graduate as STEM students. Hence, this study aimed to explore the factors that contributed to the persistence in STEM of selected SHS students. The study utilized a purposive selection of the seven participants (n=7) who are among the first successful STEM graduates under the K to 12 Curriculum in 2018. The participants underwent a one-on-one in-depth interview. Transcription, coding, and thematic analysis were employed to arrive at the insightful narration of their lived experiences as STEM students. Based on the results gathered, the factors that contributed to the persistence of the SHS students are self-efficacy and social support. The result of the study provides sound evidence that cognitive, affective, and psychosocial support from parents, family, peers, teachers, and school are essential for students’ success. Students should have the freedom to choose the track/strand they wanted to pursue. School authorities must provide relevant activities that could strengthen STEM initiatives and implementation among SHS students.

Authors:   Polytechnic University of the Philippines Mulanay, Quezon Branch, O. Manalo Mercy
Published: May 2022

In the Philippines, there are more than 110 culturally diverse ethnic tribes and communities. As clearly stated in the 1987 Philippine Constitution, Article XIV, Section 17, the state shall recognize, respect, and protect the rights of the indigenous cultural communities to preserve and develop their cultures, traditions, and institutions. The Aeta, Agta or Ayta are indigenous people who live in scattered, isolated mountainous parts of Barangay San Jose (Anyao), Catanauan, Quezon. The researcher conducted an ethnological study to document the Indigenous People integrated pest management practices employing the descriptive survey method. Based on the result, 80% were still practicing the traditional way of managing the pest without harming the human and environment. The Aeta farmers leave the infected crops, manually pick burn or use smoke to eliminate the pest.Moreover, the farmers also practice crop rotation, mixed cropping, and properly manage the farm. Crop loss due to pests was one of the major problems resulting from reducing production and income. The chemical control of pests was predominant, but the Aeta farmers still practiced traditional pest control. The conventional pest control practices played a significant role in the management of agricultural land, and it was an inevitable practice for sustainable agriculture. The proper control of pests minimized economic losses and damage to the environment. Some of the respondents have insufficient skills and knowledge on the ethnological way of controlling pest and diseases using insect repellant like marigold or Amarillo, lemongrass or tanlad, oregano, and by spraying wild chili mixed with water. Based on the result, it was recommended to conduct seminars and workshops on Organic Agriculture as well as an awareness campaign on the effect of chemical fertilizer to human and environment
Fostering Transformational Instructional Leadership Vis-À-Vis Recalibrated Hamline Plan Through Assimilated Habermasian Public Spheres
Authors:   FEU Cavite, Silang, Cavite, Philippines Philippine Normal University, Manila, Philippines, L. Rodriguez Jr Roberto
Published: May 2022

Instructional leaders’ mental model of leadership and its implementation are of importance in augmenting the quality of the teaching and learning process. Assessing and monitoring teacher development are embedded in their practices. Yet less is proposed on resolving the usually passive role of teachers in their performance assessment using common standards that can limit the consultative skills of both parties. Hence, this study aimed to contextualize the Hamline Plan originally used in teaching the Liberal Arts with integrated Habermasian Public Spheres to exemplify discursive action between teachers and instructional leaders in the assessment process using autoethnographic research design. The study merged the concepts of the Hamline Plan and Public Spheres by Habermas in the context of instructional leadership capitalizing on the personal observation and experiences of the author as a teacher and as an instructional leader aiming to ameliorate the involvement of teachers in the teaching performance assessment. Thus, this is recommended to be rolled out and undergo cycles of implementation to possibly promote transformational instructional leadership in the country.

Evaluation and scientific justification of polymer flooding application in the Uzen oilfield
Authors: Imanbayev Bakyt A. , Sagyndikov Marat S. , Kushekov Ruslan M. , Tajibayev Maksat O.
Published: May 2022

The Uzen field is at the late stage of development, with an average field water cut of over 90% due to a long-term non-shale waterflooding. At the same time, the current oil saturation of the reservoir is estimated as more than 50%, which may provide a promising future for the field. According to world practice, the application of chemical enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) methods can provide high oil recovery, and extend the cost-effective life of the field. Therefore, the application of chemical enhanced oil recovery is particularly relevant considering the current status of the Uzen field. The main method of CEOR is polymer flooding (PF), which has proven its high efficiency over 60 years of application in the industry.
The objective of this study is to evaluate and justify the application of the polymer flooding technology to the conditions of the Uzen field. According to this objective, first of all, the world experience of polymer flooding was studied, including the latest large-scale projects in the fields of China, the USA, Canada, India, Oman and other countries. Criteria for the effective application of polymer flooding were developed and screening of the geological and physical characteristics (GPC) of all objects of the field was carried out. In addition, facies maps and the current state of development were analyzed to select a potential pilot test site. A review of the surface facilities, an analysis of the water supply sources and the characteristics of different polymers were carried out to develop a project for the pilot test of the technology. Preliminary hydrodynamic calculations show reduced water cut, increased oil production and an increase of 7% in oil recovery. Feasibility studies prove the profitability of the polymer flooding at oil prices above $55/bbl. This study is the basis for further implementation, adaptation and optimization of polymer flooding
The Design of an Auditory Alarm Concept for a Paper Mill Control Room
Authors: Sirkka Anna , Fagerlönn Johan , Lindberg Stefan , Delsing Katarina
Published: May 2022

Auditory alarms are common in industrial control rooms. Sound has certain advantages over other alarm modes. Salient auditory stimuli effectively capture and guide attention, regardless of the operators’ visual focus. Sound can also convey detailed information. However, auditory alarms are often carelessly implemented, utilising sounds that are too loud, too numerous, and too confusing. The aim of this work was to develop a concept to enhance the auditory alarms in a control room. Before the concept was developed, a study involving 21 operators evaluated the state of the alarm sounds. The results indicated a poor design and confirmed certain well-known issues with alarm sounds. The concept included new alarm sounds, spatial presentation of the sounds, and alarm repetition intervals. The sounds are based on a new design principle in which each alarm sound composes two parts. One conveys urgency information, and the other contains information associated with the section in question. The design process involved 24 control-room operators and 13 design iterations, which were used to refine the concept. An evaluation involving 20 operators was conducted to examine the appropriateness of the concept. The results demonstrate that the developed concept increases operator effectiveness and acceptance as well as the overall sound environment.

Published: May 2022

Employee executes precarious responsibilities for the subsistence of the organisation unrelatedly to any gender differences. Management seems to be more than it has ever been at the centre of handling workforce diversity as they structure their businesses to meet rapidly changing business needs and individual expectations. Indeed, corporate leaders who want to improve labour productivity think about workforce diversity. It is because they regard diversity as a massive corporate concern whose limitations have a consequence on their employee performance, firm's growth and profitability. This study looks at five different aspects of gender discrimination: hiring/recruitment discrimination, training & Development discrimination, Provision of goods and Facilities discrimination, retention discrimination, and Promotion discrimination.

261 telecom industry employees in the UAE collected data better to understand the consequences of gender-based human resource practices on employee performance. The data was analysed, and hypothesis testing was done using linear regression. The theoretical model and hypothesis were tested using SPSS version 22. According to the findings, discrimination based on gender has a substantial impact on employee performance. This empirical evidence offers Human Resource researchers and managers advice for preventing discriminatory practices that negatively impact employee performance.
Mary Wollstonecraft en català
Authors: Godayol Pilar
Published: May 2022

Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) és un referent de la literatura feminista, i el seu A vindication of the rights of woman (1792), un dels tractats fundacionals. Aquest assaig es traduí al català el 2014, més de dos-cents anys després de la mort de l’autora, gairebé quaranta després de la primera traducció al castellà (1977) i deu després de la versió gallega (2004). Publicat per l’editorial gironina L’Art de la Memòria, traduït i prologat per Joan Josep Mussarra Roca, Vindicació dels drets de la dona arriba en una nova etapa d’auge editorial per al feminisme internacional. Quatre anys abans, el 2010, l’editorial valenciana Tres i Quatre n’havia editat Cartes sobre Suècia, Noruega i Dinamarca, versionades i introduïdes per Òscar Sabata i Teixidó. Aquest article, després de presentar breument la intel·lectual il·lustrada anglesa, resseguir-ne les traduccions a les altres llengües de l’Estat i contextualitzar els feminismes traduïts a Catalunya d’ençà de la dècada dels seixanta, se centra en la recepció catalana de Mary Wollstonecraft i en els factors que confluïren perquè una de les escriptores clàssiques de la història del feminisme fos introduïda al català tan tardanament.
