Published: February 2025

Good governance at the barangay level is critical for fostering community development, ensuring accountability, and delivering efficient public services. However, many rural barangays in the Philippines face challenges such as outdated record-keeping systems, limited access to technology, and insufficient technical capacity among officials, which hinder the effective delivery of services and undermine transparency. This study evaluates the implementation and impact of the Barangay InfoSystems for Development and Accountability (BIDA) program, a capacity-building initiative under the Community Empowerment through Science and Technology (CEST) program of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). The program was implemented in Barangays Mag-Aba, Pandan, and Idio, Sebaste, Antique, aiming to equip officials with digital tools and practical skills to enhance administrative processes, improve transparency, and foster accountability. A convergent parallel mixed-methods research design was used to gather data from 40 participants, including barangay captains, kagawads, secretaries, treasurers, barangay health workers, and Sangguniang Kabataan chairpersons. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while thematic analysis was applied to qualitative responses. Results revealed that 90% of respondents reported improved record-keeping, 85% noted enhanced financial reporting, and 80% highlighted streamlined administrative processes. However, challenges such as limited device access (70%), connectivity issues (60%), and insufficient training duration (50%) were identified. The study concludes that the BIDA program significantly improved governance efficiency and accountability in the target barangays. Key recommendations include adding devices, providing additional training, and improving internet access. These insights can help replicate the program in other rural Philippine communities, supporting local governance modernization.

Tooth loss is always an unpleasant fact, which most often affects elderly people. But such problems are everywhere, even among young people who lose their teeth for various reasons: from injuries to chronic systemic diseases. All of this significantly deteriorates the quality of life and leads to serious consequences, including impaired dictation and inability to chew food. Prosthetics will help to save the position, which will restore not only the aesthetics, but also the functional state of the dentofacial system. If the installation of non-removable bridges and implants is contraindicated or inaccessible to the patient due to the high cost, the dentists of the "May" clinic recommend considering removable prostheses.

This study evaluates the impact of Indonesia’s 2025 Free Nutritious Lunch Program on student well-being and learning outcomes using a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative data were collected through a stratified random sample of urban and rural schools, focusing on changes in student health metrics, attendance rates, and academic performance. Qualitative data were obtained through focus group discussions and interviews with administrators, teachers, and students to contextualize the program's implementation and outcomes. Statistical analyses, including paired sample t-tests and regression analysis, revealed significant improvements in student health, with higher BMI z-scores in both urban (t(99) = 4.56, p<0.001 t(99) = 4.56, p < 0.001 t(99) = 4.56, p<0.001) and rural (t(99) = 3.82, p<0.001 t(99) = 3.82, p < 0.001 t(99) = 3.82, p<0.001) schools. Attendance rates increased significantly, with urban schools achieving a mean of 94.5% compared to 92.7% in rural areas. Academic performance, measured through GPA, also improved significantly (t(99) = 5.01, p<0.001 t(99) = 5.01, p < 0.001t(99) = 5.01, p<0.001), with urban students demonstrating slightly higher gains. Qualitative findings underscored the program’s role in alleviating food insecurity and enhancing student focus, though logistical challenges in rural implementation were noted. These results demonstrate the program’s potential to address educational inequities and improve student outcomes. Policy recommendations include enhancing rural infrastructure, fostering community engagement, and establishing sustainable funding models. This study highlights the strategic importance of school-based nutrition initiatives in advancing health and education equity.

This study was on Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) in catfish farming among commercial fish farmers in Yenagoa Local Government Area (YELGA), Bayelsa state, Nigeria. The objectives were to; ascertain the awareness of GAPs among commercial fish farmers in YELGA, identify GAPs aware of by YELGA commercial fish farmers and determine the GAPs use by commercial fish farmers in catfish farming. A total of 77 fish farmers; randomly chosen from list obtained from Ministry of Trade and Industry, formed the sample size; whom structured questionnaire was administered on. Data were analysed descriptively with percentage and ranking. Findings were that; YELGA fish farmers’ percentage level of awareness of GAPs was incredible; with all the commercial fish farmers (100%) aware of GAPs, and all identified GAPs (100%) aware of by varying percentages of the commercial fish farmers. Similarly, GAPs implementation/use in catfish farming among fish farmers in YELGA was awe with high percentages of above 50% recorded for approximately 94% of GAPs identified. The study concludes that YELGA fish farmers are compliant to the global GAPs standard; being highly aware of GAPs and use/implement GAPs in catfish farming, thus are producing catfishes that will pass global standard tests and stand competition at global market places. Intensified advocacy and farmer engagement by state actors such as extension agency, and policy directive from the government for credit to farmers was recommended to ensure GAPs compliance; for fish welfare, staff/human safety and overall sustenance of GAPs among commercial farmers in the state.

Authors:   Department of Soil Science and Land Resources, Faculty of Agriculture, Padjadjaran University Jl. Raya Bandung Sumedang Km 21 Jatinangor, Sumedang, Indonesia, Gumilar Ahmad Hafizh
Published: February 2025

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between Topographic Wetness Index (TWI) and soil physical properties (permeability, porosity, bulk density, and soil moisture content) and their spatial distribution in the Cikapundung Sub-watershed.

Methods: A survey method was conducted through descriptive, correlation, and interpolation approaches. Thirty soil samples were collected based on a two-way stratification method using TWI and slope gradient. TWI was derived from Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data using GIS. Soil physical properties were analyzed in laboratory and their spatial distribution was mapped using interpolation techniques.

Results: TWI showed varying degrees of correlation with soil physical properties: significant positive correlation with soil permeability (r = 0.37), weak negative correlation with soil moisture content (r = -0.30), and very weak correlations with bulk density and soil porosity (r = -0.03 and r = 0.03). Spatial analysis revealed heterogeneous distribution patterns of soil physical properties across the sub-watershed.

Conclusion: TWI can only be effectively used as a single predictor for soil permeability, but not for bulk density, porosity, and soil moisture content in the Cikapundung Sub-watershed. This suggests the need for additional environmental parameters when predicting these soil physical properties.

Published: February 2025

The study assessed the effectiveness of choosing student leaders based on interviews as a shift from the traditional mode whereby school administrators appoint student leaders in secondary schools. The study is underpinned by the Rational Choice Theory by Adam Smith which posits that individuals make choices based on weighing the costs and benefits. This study adopted a qualitative case study design. The sample comprised purposively sampled aspiring students who applied to be interviewed for the student leadership positions. Ethical protocols were observed before the data was collected. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were used to collect the data. Data was transcribed and coded accordingly. Inductive thematic data analysis was used.

Findings indicate that there are pros and cons of using interviews in selecting student leaders. However, the majority of the respondents indicated that despite the setbacks of using interviews in the selection of prefects it is the right direction to go; schools should move with the times and adopt contemporary electoral modes that are used in their societal contexts whereby leaders are selected as opposed to being appointed by the school administration. The study recommends that secondary schools develop user-friendly instruments (such as interviews, voting etc) that are free and fair to select prefects democratically from the students’ body.

Published: February 2025

Waterlogging is one of the major abiotic stresses that affect growth, yield and physiological traits of blackgram. To evaluate the performance of six different blackgram genotypes imposed under waterlogging stress, a pot experiment was conducted in a two factor randomized complete block design with three replications in the Agroforestry and Environmental Science field lab at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University. Plastic pots with 30 days old plants were placed into a brick water chamber with waterlogging depth of 3-5 cm top of soils for 7 days to simulate waterlogging. Significant reduction was observed for plant height, number of leaves, SPAD value, nodule number, pod length, seeds per pod, yield per plant and the degree of reduction varied prominently over the blackgram genotypes. The number of leaves and SPAD value were higher in BARI Mash-3 which was 5.0 and 46.03 SPAD units in waterlogging situation. Among the six genotypes, BARI Mash-1 performed the best in respect of grain yield (5.04 g/plant) production followed by BARI Mash-3 (4.58 g/plant) under waterlogging condition. Stress tolerance index (STI) and yield index (YI) were highest in BARI Mash-2 (1.87) and BARI Mash-1 (1.67). Hence, these varieties can be added in the existing cropping pattern as a short-term waterlogging tolerant plant. In the future, waterlogging stress tolerant varieties with more suitable genetic base of blackgram plants needed to identify and utilize the novel traits of donors are now required in breeding programs.

BACKGROUND
We describe our approach and experience with the routine implementation of stool-based Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra (Xpert) testing for the diagnosis of childhood TB in Zambia.

METHODS
We
conducted a method validation and subsequently introduced stool as an alternative sample for routine Xpert testing for children and critically ill adults. We reviewed the impact of stool-based Xpert testing during the first 18 months of routine implementation.

RESULTS
The
method validation showed 98.0% (95% CI 92.9–99.4) agreement between Xpert results on sputum/gastric aspirate (GA) and stool specimens. During 18 months of routine implementation, 16,210 stool samples were tested, yielding 157 TB cases in children, including five rifampicin (RIF) resistant
cases, and 45 cases in critically ill adults. In children aged 0–4 years, 10,288 stool samples were tested compared to 2,459 GA samples in the same period. Childhood TB notifications and the bacteriological confirmation rate increased by 30% and 53%, respectively, in 2021 compared to
2020.

CONCLUSION
The routine implementation of stool testing provided access to Xpert testing for children who could not produce sputum or have GA collected, contributing to increased bacteriological confirmation of TB in children. For
critically ill adults with difficulty expectorating sputum, it facilitated a rapid test result.

La siguiente investigación ofrece un análisis exhaustivo sobre la generación y manejo de los residuos derivados de los procesos de mecanizado en los talleres de máquinas herramientas de la ciudad de Manta. Se examina las principales fuentes de residuos, tales como virutas metálicas y otros subproductos generados en los talleres, evaluando tanto su impacto ambiental como las prácticas de gestión actuales. Mediante encuestas y entrevistas con los responsables de los talleres, se identifican las estrategias utilizadas para la disposición y reciclaje de estos residuos, a la vez que se destacan las deficiencias y la falta de normativas locales claras en relación con la gestión adecuada de estos materiales. El presente artículo propone recomendaciones para mejorar las prácticas de manejo de residuos y fomentar la reutilización de materiales para apoyar la sostenibilidad y reducir el impacto ambiental de la industria del mecanizado en la ciudad.Finalmente, el estudio concluye que mejorar la gestión de residuos en talleres mecánicos no solo beneficiaría al medio ambiente, sino también a la rentabilidad económica del sector. Este enfoque no solo contribuirá a la razonable producción del sector metalmecánico en Manta, sino que también puede servir como modelo para otras ciudades con características similares.

This study examines the influence of organizational climate and work-life balance on driver loyalty at PT. Trans Antar Nusabird, South Jakarta. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 312 drivers through questionnaires with a Likert scale. Organizational climate was measured through leadership style, communication, and support systems, while work-life balance was assessed by time management, role balance, and personal life satisfaction. Driver loyalty was evaluated based on compliance, responsibility, and integrity. The results reveal that organizational climate significantly influences driver loyalty, with a positive regression coefficient of 0.406 and a significance value of 0.000. Conversely, work-life balance does not show a significant impact on driver loyalty, as indicated by a regression coefficient of 0.078 and a significance value of 0.243. Simultaneously, organizational climate and work-life balance have a combined positive effect on driver loyalty, accounting for 47.5% of the variance, with a significance value of 0.000. The study concludes that a positive organizational climate is a key determinant of driver loyalty, while work-life balance requires further exploration. PT. Trans Antar Nusabird is recommended to enhance its organizational climate through leadership and communication improvements, as well as explore better work-life balance initiatives

Published: February 2025

This study aims to analyze the influence of the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) and Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) on Return on Equity (ROE) at PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk during the 2014–2023 period. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, this research leverages financial statement data from the company over ten years. The analysis involves multiple linear regression, with LDR and DER serving as independent variables and ROE as the dependent variable. The findings reveal that LDR does not significantly affect ROE, indicating that the bank's liquidity in channeling third-party funds into credit does not directly enhance profitability. Similarly, DER does not show a significant influence on ROE, suggesting that financial leverage alone is not a determining factor for profitability. Furthermore, the simultaneous analysis of LDR and DER demonstrates no significant impact on ROE, highlighting the need to consider other factors that might play a more substantial role in influencing financial performance. The results suggest that operational efficiency, credit quality, risk management, and macroeconomic conditions may be more critical determinants of ROE. This study underscores the importance of adopting a comprehensive approach to analyzing financial performance and offers recommendations for improving profitability and competitiveness in the banking sector.

Using a quantitative method, the research examines secondary data obtained from Bank Indonesia and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The dependent variable is economic growth, while the independent variables are exchange rates and inflation. Data analysis was conducted using classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, and hypothesis testing through t-tests and F-tests. The findings reveal that exchange rates significantly affect economic growth, with a positive regression coefficient. This indicates that higher exchange rates contribute positively to economic growth by enhancing export competitiveness and influencing domestic economic activities. Conversely, inflation does not significantly impact economic growth, suggesting limited effects of inflation during the analyzed period. Simultaneously, exchange rates and inflation explain 83.5% of the variance in economic growth, demonstrating their combined influence. The study concludes that exchange rates are a crucial determinant of economic growth, while inflation requires further investigation for a comprehensive understanding. Policymakers should focus on maintaining stable exchange rates and controlling inflation to ensure sustainable economic development
