Published: June 2023

This study attempted to determine the ALS teachers’ teaching competence and adversity quotient as predictors of students’ learning engagement in the city schools division offices in the Province of Laguna. Specifically, it investigated the respondents’ level of teaching competence in terms of content knowledge and pedagogy, learning environment, diversity of learners, curriculum and planning, community linkages and professional engagement and professional growth and professional development; respondents’ level of adversity quotient and its dimensions; control, ownership, reach and endurance, and level of students’ learning engagement. The findings showed that the overall weighted mean of 3.64 revealed that the ALS teachers’ teaching competence was very high; while the overall weighted mean of 2.76 revealed that the respondents’ AQ level was high. Moreover, the findings showed that the average weighted mean of 3.31 revealed that the level of the students’ learning engagement was very high. Meanwhile, the findings showed that the relationship between the respondents’ level of teaching competence and level of adversity quotient were all greater than the 0.01 significance level. Therefore, there was no significant relationship between the ALS teachers’ teaching competence and their level of adversity quotient was observed. In addition, the finding showed that the relationship between the respondents’ teaching competence and students’ learning engagement were less than the test of significance at 0.01 leading to the rejection of the null hypotheses. This showed that there was a significant relationship between the respondents’ teaching competence and student learning engagement. Lastly, the relationship between the respondents’ level of adversity quotient and level of students’ learning engagement were higher than the test of significance at 0.01 leading to the acceptance of the null hypotheses. This shows that there was no relationship between the respondents’ level of adversity quotient and the level of student learning engagement.

Into The Grey: The Lived Experience Of Clinical Instructors Turned Frontliners In The Now Normal
Authors: Evangelista Portia A. , Bautista Susana C.
Published: June 2023

Abstract- Frontline health workers are the backbone of effective health systems – they are often based in the community and come from the community they serve, they play a critical role in providing a local context for proven health solutions, and they connect families and communities to the health system. Supartini (2022) resolute that nurses can create a more comfortable and comforting environment for the patients they serve especially in times of uncertainty. Undesirably, as the Philippines scuffled with the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Health is filling up the slots for much-needed healthcare workers in both the private and public sectors to help the country battle the COVID19 pandemic (Department of Health, 2020). Likewise, Tomacruz (2021) mentioned the government is also facing another battle that health workers groups warned mass resignations and protests could take place in hospitals across the country if the government does not fulfill its promise to improve support for the sector. Hence, American Nurses Association (2020) denounced nurses may struggle with the call and may choose not to respond. Consequently, nurses account for the biggest chunk of hires by profession.This study aimed at understanding and unveiling into the grey: the lived experiences of clinical instructors turned frontliners in the now normal. The researcher utilized the phenomenological research design to understand and explore the lived experiences of clinical instructors as frontliners in the now normal.The substantial outcomes of the study as to the lived experiences of clinical instructors turned frontliners in the now normal: ten (10) themes shared reality pertained to the lived experiences of clinical instructors turned frontliners in the now normal. It was disclosed that achieving professional goals, financial support and self-development, fulfilling job, shaping the lives of young people vs. providing hands on care for patients, intense physical and emotional pressure, work commitment and dedication, competitive pay was livened and appreciated by the clinical instructors who left the academe and served as frontliners in now normal. Moreover, coping mechanisms with demands and challenges of respondents involved prioritizing, time management, benefits, adaptability and self-care
The disinformation in virtual communities: a systematic literature review
Authors: Azwar Azwar , Sarwoprasodjo Sarwititi , Soetarto Endriatmo , Lubis Djuara
Published: June 2023

This article discusses disinformation in virtual communities. Freedom of speech and freedom of expression are conditions for creating a democratic society. This form of freedom of speech and expression is the creation of a healthy public sphere in people's lives. The real form of a healthy public sphere is that people are free to voice their opinions without being dominated by other parties (structural or non-structural). In addition, people are free to convey ideas and exchange opinions regardless of the existence of power barriers or because of differences in socioeconomic conditions. The public sphere can be created in the realm of reality as well as in virtual space. The intentional, large-scale, and systematic spread of disinformation seriously harms democracy and is a major challenge to democratic societies. Information disorder is not only a problem in Indonesia but has become a problem in many democratic countries in the world. As a problem with humanity, information disorder has been widely studied by various researchers. But the problem is that currently there is no clear concept related to this information chaos. Experts and the public are still confused about defining fake news, hoaxes, or disinformation. As a social problem, a solution to this information disorder is needed. To make a solution to the problem of disinformation, it is necessary to understand the concept of information disturbance clearly. Therefore, this systematic literature review generally aims to ascertain the concept of disinformation, its types, and how to solve disinformation.
Nexus between poverty gap and macroeconomic performance in the MENA region during the period 1990-2021
Authors: Hassan Fatma Ahmed
Published: June 2023

The study aims to explore the impact of some macroeconomic performance indicators on the poverty gap in the countries of the Middle East and North Africa during the period 1990-2021. The study used the econometric approach, where a correlation matrix was built between the variables under study, which is the poverty gap as a dependent variable, and several independent variables, which are the rate of inflation, the rate of population growth, the rate of economic growth, and the ratio of reserves to external debt. Applying Unit Root test, then ARDL model to investigate the effect of independent variables on the poverty gap and using E-Views 12. The study found that In the short and long term, the rate of inflation is associated with an inverse relationship with poverty rates in the countries of the Middle East and North Africa during the period 1990-2021, the increasing ratio of reserves to external debt has a negative impact on the poverty rates in the MENA countries, the increasing exports had a positive impact to decreasing poverty in MENA region, while the population growth rate is associated with a direct negative impact on the poverty gap in those countries, it has the highest influence compared to the other macroeconomic variables.  And the relationship between them goes in the same direction, The study confirmed that after (1) lag period GDP growth negatively affects the poverty gap, thus with an increase in the GDP the poverty also increases, but after (2) lag periods the study confirmed the positive impact of GDP growth on the poverty gap. So the study recommends applying economic policies that reduce inflation rates by using fiscal policy tools through reducing government spending or raising tax rates. Raising export rates through an industrial policy and agriculture that supports the quality and competition of local products in global markets, as well as raising the reserve ratio to the total external debt, which may occur in the event of an improvement in export rates accordingly. It also requires population policies that reduce population growth rates. And finally, economic growth couldn’t reduce poverty without economic policies raising equality degree between individuals

Работа по развитию речи учащихся на занятиях русского языка
Authors: Алибекова Рано
Published: June 2023

Развитие речи обучающихся – одна из главных задач учебного предмета “Русский язык”. Нет ни одного занятия, на котором учащиеся не говорили, не слушали, не читали и не писали. Преподаватель следит за речью учащихся, объясняет значение новых слов, оценивает содержание и логичность ответа, его выразительность. Но только на уроках русского языка развитие речи решается целенаправленно, системно, с опорой на лингвистические знания. Например, если на уроках русской языка ученики освоят структуру текста типа рассуждений, то и на других уроках они смогут чётко и доказательно отвечать на вопросы.

Influence of Self-Efficacy and Emotional Intelligence on The Performance of Sales Managers: A Case of a FMCG in Nairobi, Kenya
Authors: Musau Nicholas Muasa
Published: June 2023

The relationship between Sales Performance and Emotional intelligence has been a thoroughly researched construct. This study was undertaken to examine the influence of emotional intelligence and self-efficacy on the performance of sales leaders of a FMCG in Nairobi, Kenya. The independent constructs were Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Self-efficacy, and the dependent construct was Sales Performance. The research was a qualitative survey with data collected from sales managers of a bottling company in the non-alcoholic-ready-to-drink (NARTD) industry. Purposive sampling was used to select five Area Sales Managers from the five regional markets which formed the company’s total universe. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews with the five selected managers. The study found that emotional intelligence and self-efficacy indeed influenced the level of sales performance among the sales leaders of the company. It concluded that sales leaders with a higher EI and self-efficacy demonstrated good leadership traits and consequently exhibited high sales performance. The study, therefore, advocates for the development of emotional intelligence and self-efficacy in sales leaders as key enablers to sales excellence.
Physical Education as a Foundation for Grassroots Sport in Primary School in Zimbabwe
Authors: Ndlovu Jenitha
Published: June 2023

The importance of physical education in primary schools has been realised worldwide. It is through the teaching of Physical Education (PE) in primary schools that children have been exposed to play and sporting activities at grassroots level. Notably, the delivery of PE varies from one school to the other. Issues of availability of equipment and facilities, resource and assessment procedures influence the teaching of PE. The research set to develop an appreciation on the role and contribution of teaching PE as a foundation for skills development at primary school level amongst stakeholders, universities and colleges. A quantitative approach was used to gather information from participants that comprised teachers of primary schools on the role of PE. Stratified random sampling technique was used and participants were voluntarily selected while confidentiality of the collected data was ensured. Six females and five males of age 31 and above participated in the study. Findings from the questionnaire which targeted teachers point at resources and availability of expertise in schools. 90% of participants point at resources and availability of equipment in schools as a major drawback. On the other hand, 85% of respondents indicate challenges of competent teachers with expertise. Moreover, 100% of respondents allude to PE as a subject that is likely to develop the child holistically. Recommendations put forward were that of government availing both human and financial resources to schools so that PE programmes are implemented effectively. Furthermore, schools should explore ways in which teachers are empowered with innovative skills that will improve delivery strategies and community involvement thereby developing sport at grassroots level. There is a likelihood of having a sport-oriented nation if foundational skills are strongly cultivated.

Published: June 2023

O processo de composição e reposição de efetivo na Polícia Militar do Paraná apresenta-se, desde sempre, como um desafio para a corporação, pois, além de demandar um lapso temporal muito grande, que se inicia com a autorização do Estado para a contratação de pessoal, e continua com um extenso processo seletivo, até se finalizar com a conclusão do curso de formação, também demanda uma grande mobilização de recursos humanos e empenho financeiro. O presente artigo procura apresentar a perspectiva profissional dos policiais militares recém-incluídos na corporação e traçar um paralelo com o aumento de exclusões a pedido e reserva não remunerada de policiais militares que estão no início de suas carreiras, observados nos últimos anos. Por meio de pesquisa nos Boletins-Gerais da Polícia Militar do Paraná foi verificado o número de policiais que estão deixando voluntariamente a Corporação e quanto tempo permaneceram. Com a aplicação de um questionário também procurou-se traçar um panorama dos militares estaduais que ingressaram na corporação no último concurso e estão frequentando o Curso de Formação de Praças no 2º Comando Regional de Polícia Militar, buscando identificar o que os motivou a entrar na Corporação e o quanto estão interessados em permanecer na carreira. Joga-se luz sobre uma tendência crescente de policiais militares que abandonam de forma precoce a corporação, em busca de outras carreiras, buscando suas possíveis causas.

O conceito de justiça na teoria rawlsiana: considerações introdutórias
Authors: KISTEMACHER WELTER NELSI
Published: June 2023

No presente texto, discute-se a teoria da justiça proposta por John Rawls em sua obra “Uma Teoria da Justiça” (1971). Rawls enfatiza a prioridade da justiça como virtude social para a resolução de conflitos de interesses e propõe a "justiça como equidade" como uma teoria da justiça social voltada às instituições sociais. Segundo Rawls, a justiça é a primeira virtude das instituições sociais e baseia-se na inviolabilidade dos direitos de cada pessoa, que não podem ser violados nem mesmo em benefício da sociedade como um todo. A teoria de Rawls se volta para a estrutura básica da sociedade e a distribuição adequada de encargos e benefícios da cooperação social. Ele também distingue entre justiça formal e justiça substantiva, e afirma que a justiça substantiva depende de princípios substantivos de justiça social e que uma sociedade pode ser injusta mesmo que atenda aos critérios formais de justiça.
O sujeito metafísico na arte
Authors: KRINDGES VIEIRA FRANCIELE
Published: June 2023

Neste artigo, discutiremos a visão de Arthur Schopenhauer sobre o sujeito metafísico na arte, conhecido como “gênio”. O gênio é o artista que possui um conhecimento superior sobre a vontade e é capaz de contemplar a vida por si mesma, concebendo as ideias de cada coisa. Esse sujeito é isento de vontade e livre do princípio de razão, dedicando-se à contemplação profunda do objeto. Schopenhauer explora a relação entre a vontade e a representação, em que a vontade constitui o mundo e a representação é a objetidade da vontade tornada objeto. A representação pode ocorrer de forma direta, sem o uso de formas particulares de conhecimento, ou de forma indireta, utilizando o princípio de razão para conhecer. As ideias, como modelos manifestados em existências particulares, são estranhas ao conhecimento individual. A fim de que as ideias se tornem objetos de conhecimento, é necessário suprimir a individualidade no sujeito que conhece, resultando no sujeito metafísico. Schopenhauer relaciona a coisa em si de Kant com a vontade não objetivada.
EFFECT OF MECHANICAL ACTIVATION ON THE POTASSIUM AVAILABILITY OF PHONOLITE ROCK
Authors: GARRIDO Francisco Manoel dos Santos , MEDEIROS Marta Eloisa , SAMPAIO João Alves , TEIXEIRA Aline Maria dos Santos
Published: June 2023

Background: Researchers are carried out to assess rocks containing potassium as an alternative source of fertilizers. These studies are important in reducing the external dependence of Brazil on this commodity. Phonolite is a rock of volcanic origin that has in its mineralogical composition the predominance of feldspar and has been potential to use as an alternative potassium source. The studied rock has 6% total-K but is unavailable to plants in natural rock. Aim: This project evaluated the effect of mechanical activation, wet and dry, on K availability for extractors different and its K leaching curves of phonolite from Poços de Caldas, MG, Brazil. Methods: Phonolite rock was subjected to mechanical activation for 30 and 60 min by wet and dry processes. Particle size distribution, XRD, and FTIR analyses characterized phonolite activated. These results were compared to the behavior of the rock with no activation. K availability (total; water-soluble; exchangeable, non-exchangeable, and structural) was determined in samples activated and no activation. K leaching curves were obtained by successive extractions with 0.01 mol L-1 citric acid and Mehlich-1 solutions to 1812 h and analyzed by FAAS. Results: The samples mechanical activation promoted a reduction in the intensity of the diffraction peaks. In the sample dry mechanical activation for 60 min, K released increased by 15% in relation to the no activation sample. K leaching curves were observed with similar behavior for the extractors and higher K availability after 235 h of total contact time. Discussion: Mechanical activation promoted a decrease in structural K and an increase in non-exchangeable K, released into the soil solution in the medium term. Since the mineralogical composition was not changed, the process action is more efficient in creating the structural defects suggested. K leaching curves corroborate these results, with a continuous and slow K released for a longer contact time. Conclusions: It was concluded that the phonolite activated by dry mechanical activation for 60 min increased K-released content compared with the wet process and ratified the possibility of the activated phonolite rock as a slow-release fertilizer.
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ALCOHOLIC EXTRACTION OF COMPOUNDS FROM ARAUCARIA ANGUSTIFOLIA: MICROWAVE-ASSISTED EXTRACTION VS. MACERATION EXTRACTION.
Authors: DE BONI Luis Alcies B.
Published: June 2023

Background: The Araucaria angustifolia is a prominent tree species indigenous to the southern regions of Brazil. The tree can be a source of different compounds of interest if properly used. Aims: This research aims to compare the alcoholic extraction of compounds from Araucaria angustifolia using two different methods, microwave-assisted extraction and maceration extraction. Methods: Alcahoolic extractions of compounds from the sawdust of Araucaria angustifolia were performed using microwave-assisted extraction and maceration extraction. The color was observed by eye inspection. The taste was observed by putting the samples into the mouth and tasting it. The olfactive test was conducted at hot and cold temperatures. Results: it was obtained red color solution, both from the bark and from the branch. The intensity of the color changed with the extraction method and time of maceration. The solutions tasted like "green wood". Discussion: MAE and Maceration extraction can provide extracts from the bark and branch of the araucaria tree. There is the possibility that the “green wood” taste of the MAE extract can be changed with the thermal treatment of the wood. Conclusions: microwave-assisted extraction can perform the faster extraction of compounds from Araucaria angustifolia than maceration extraction..

Authors: QUINTERO Cristián Andrés , PEREZ-GIRABEL Rocío , PATIÑO Sol , BONTTI Sergio , VALLEJO Mariana Guadalupe
Published: June 2023

Background: Antibiotic resistance is currently one of the biggest problems in public health. Infectious diseases are the second human death cause, and the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria increases mortality and morbidity rates. There is a growing clinical need for the development of new antibiotics. In this line, WHO issued an alert about 12 bacteria with an urgent need to develop new antibiotics. Aims: This review aims to analyze the current knowledge of their antibacterial activity against the gram-positive pathogens listed by WHO and their extraction techniques. Methods: We systematically reviewed the literature in PubMed, searching publications describing the use of natural extracts as antibiotics over bacteria. The exclusion criteria consisted of limiting papers on natural extracts tested over the bacteria culture related to eleven selected bacteria, according to an alert issued by WHO in 2017, and seven plant extracts. Results: All the gram-positive bacteria present in the WHO alert have been treated, with different degrees of advance, with some of the plant extracts and plant-based compounds reviewed. Currently, they are in the preclinical stage. Edible herbs are more often used, as well as artemisia and wine byproducts. Discussion: Natural products based on plants have shown to be efficient in inhibiting bacterial growth, even in antibiotic-resistant strains. The classical extraction methods are still in use and have been improved with the available technology to improve efficiency and yield. Conclusions: Ongoing evidence shows that plant extracts and plant-based compounds are effective as antibacterial, with minimal effects on the host cell, a promising antibiotic source. Furthermore, they are sustainable, environmentally friendly, and renewable.

Published: June 2023

Indian diaspora is the largest diaspora in the world. As we know, the basic reasons for diaspora are unemployment, natural disaster, forced migration, etc. In this paper,I would like to depict Indian diaspora in Fiji as an indentured labourers. Indian labourers brought to Fiji as indenturedlabourers to work on a sugarcane plantation. They signed a contract from labourers which was called ‘girmit' and who came under this contract called ‘girmitiya'. It was a five-year contract that contained rules and regulations for workers. They had to face many obstacles during their journey from India to Fiji and also,they had to suffer hardship on Fiji island as indentured labourers. With the passage of time, Indian indentured labourers and their new generation have got the identity as Fiji-Indians.There are many notable Indo-Fijians like James Madhwan who was one of the longest-serving parliamentarians in Fiji, Mahendra Chaudhary was the fourth Prime Minister of Fiji, Sidiq Koya was politician, opposition leader and statesman and so on. Indians brought as indentured labourers to Fiji island but with their hard work and intelligence they have got their rights and made a distinct place in Fiji

AbstrakPembentukan Malaysia adalah satu proses penggabungan sebuah negara merdeka dengan jajahan â€˜berkerajaan sendiriâ€™ British di Asia Tenggara bagi membentukkan sebuah negara persekutuan yang baharu. Penggabungan ini telah dikompromikan secara perundangan yang melibatkan tiga peringkat perundingan yang komprehensif dari 1961 hingga 1963, iaitu MSCC, Suruhanjaya Cobbold, dan IGC. Wujud kekeliruan dalam kalangan rakyat Malaysia mengenai makna dan sejarah Hari Malaysia, yang disambutkan pada 16 September. Sabah dan Sarawak merupakan negeri kedua belas dan ketiga belas dalam Persekutuan Malaysia. Semenjak tahun 2010, rakyat Sabah dan Sarawak mula kembali berpolemik tentang dua tarikh bersejarah, iaitu 31 Ogos dan 16 September yang secara langsung mempertikaikan status quo â€˜negeriâ€™ dalam Persekutuan Malaysia. Makalah ini cuba menyediakan satu perspektif sejarah berasaskan sumber utama semasa proses tersebut.

AbstractThe formation of Malaysia is a process of merging an independent state with British 'self-governing' colonies in Southeast Asia to form a new federal state. The merger was legally compromised involving three levels of comprehensive consultation from 1961 to 1963, namely the MSCC, the Cobbold Commission, and the IGC. There has been confusion among Malaysians on the meaning and history of Malaysia Day, which was celebrated on 16 September. Sabah and Sarawak are the 12th and 13th states in the Federation of Malaysia. Since 2010, the people of Sabah and Sarawak have begun to a polemic about two historical dates, namely August 31 and September 16 which directly disputes the status quo of 'state' within the Federation of Malaysia. This article attempts to provide a historical perspective based on the major sources during the process.

Perjanjian Malaysia 1963: Kerangka Perundangan dalam Gagasan Malaysia dan Proses Dekolonialisasi Sabah dan Sarawak

Published: June 2023

Sejarah penubuhan Persekutuan Malaysia sememangnya mempunyai hubungan simbiotik dengan kemerdekaan dua buah negeri di Borneo, iaitu Sabah dan Sarawak. Ini kerana perisytiharan Persekutuan Malaysia pada tanggal 16 Haribulan September tahun 1963 tidak akan dapat direalisasikan tanpa penyertaan kedua-dua buah negeri tersebut berserta Singapura. Namun begitu, dari segi perundangan, PerlembagaanPersekutuan Malaysia yang telah mula berkuatkuasa pada tarikh tersebut sebenarnya merupakan pindaan kepada Perlembagaan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu tahun 1957, bukannya satu perlembagaan baharu. Ini bermakna Persekutuan Malaysia bukanlah satu entiti baru tapi sebenarnya merupakan penambahan keluasan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu melalui percantuman Sabah dan Sarawak kepadanya. Status quo ini yang didasarkan kepada kerangka perundangan seperti yang termaktub dalam perlembagaan Persekutuan Malaysia telah juga diperakukan keabsahannya di bawah perundangan antarabangsa apabila ia diiktiraf oleh PBB. Oleh yang demikian, makalah ini bertujuan untuk membincangkan kerangka perundangan dalam Gagasan Malaysia yang diaplikasikan kepada proses dekolonialisasi yang membawa kepada kemerdekaan Sabah dan Sarawak pada tahun 1963. Perbincangan ini akan merujuk kepada provisi yang terkandung dalam Perjanjian Malaysia 1963 dan dokumen lain yang berkaitan dengannya. 

The history of the foundation of the Federation of Malaysia had symbiotic relations with the independence of two Borneo states of Sabah and Sarawak. This is because the proclamation of the Federation of Malaysiaon 16th of September 1963 would not have been realized without the participation of those two states together with Singapore. Nevertheless, the Constitution of the Federation of Malaysia which went into effect on thatday was actually the amendment of the Federation of Malaya of 1957, not a new constitution. This means that the Federation of Malaysia is not a new entity but actually the enlargement of the Federation of Malayathrough the incorporation of Sabah and Sarawak into the federation. This legal framework is also recognised under international law, as its legality is sanction by the United Nations. Hence, this article discusses the legalframework of the foundation of Malaysia that has been applied to the process of decolonisation, which led to the independence of Sabah and Sarawak in 1963. The discussion on the the subject is based on the provisions stipulated in the Malaysia Agreement of 1963 and other related documents.
