Predicting Anti-Coastal Reclamation Engagement: A Logistic Regression Analysis of Philippine Mainline Protestant Church-Members in Bacolod City
Authors:   University of the Philippines Los Baňos, Trio Jericho
Published: January 2025

The Banago Coastal Reclamation Project is a 247-hectare reclamation initiative in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental. Proposed in August 2022, it is predicted to displace 6,000 families and damage surrounding mangrove ecosystems lining up coastlines of Banago, Bacolod. The political engagement of religious actors participating in anti-coastal reclamation movements has been evident in opposing such project, particularly in alliance-networks of mainline Protestant churches present in the area. In mainline Protestantism, the discourse on political participation involves integrating the practice of evangelism on the principles of social justice and ecological well-being. The focus of this study hinged on identifying the odds of political participation amongst mainline Protestant church-members in anti-coastal reclamation movements using logistic regression analysis. The study is only limited in exploring increments of political participation on five (5) Bacolod mainline Protestant churches – the Convention of Philippine Baptist Churches, United Church of Christ in the Philippines, United Methodist Church, Philippine Independent Church and the Salvation Army. The assumed predictor variables are personal resources, political motivational factors, group membership and demographic proximity. The logit model suggests church doctrinal stance (under the category of political motivation factors) is the only predictor which expresses a significant parameter for comparing the Political Participation with “Yes” response versus the Political Participation group with “No” response. A one-unit increase in the said predictor is associated with a 1.719 increase in the relative log odds for a mainline Protestant church-member to participate (or not participate) in anti-coastal reclamation movements.

Background: Patient satisfaction is a critical measure of healthcare quality, reflecting patients’ experiences and the extent to which their needs and expectations are met. While global studies have identified various determinants of satisfaction, research in some regions, particularly in the Gulf, remains limited. This study investigates the determinants of patient satisfaction in primary healthcare settings, focusing on socio-demographic factors and dimensions of care. Methods: This  study was conducted among patients receiving services at primary healthcare centers. A systematic sampling approach yielded 398 completed questionnaires. The instrument assessed six dimensions of satisfaction: interpersonal care, technical competence, accessibility, convenience, availability, and overall satisfaction. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, and exploratory factor analysis, with internal consistency measured using Cronbach’s alpha. Results: The mean satisfaction score was 35.2 (SD = 6.8). Married patients and those with college degrees reported significantly higher satisfaction. Factor analysis revealed interpersonal care, accessibility, and technical competence as the most influential dimensions. Communication quality and the time spent with healthcare providers were strongly associated with satisfaction. Approximately 64.8% of participants reported high overall satisfaction. Conclusion: Effective communication and patient-centered interactions are key determinants of satisfaction in primary care. Addressing gaps in provider-patient communication and ensuring sufficient consultation time can enhance patient experiences. These findings emphasize the need for ongoing assessment and improvement of healthcare delivery to meet diverse patient expectations

Authors: Xenofonte de Brito Alisson , Joviniano Alvares dos Prazeres Paulo
Published: January 2025

This article aims to demonstrate, through legislative and bibliographical research, that the Brazilian Public Ministry is an agent of environmental governance. It is not just an inspector of environmental standards, but an entity that shares the power of the environmental agenda, together with public and private powers and bodies. The study is justified since there are questions about the extent of the public ministry's duties in environmental protection. The question is: can the Public Prosecutor's Office be considered an agent of governance and, consequently, environmental governance? The Study intends to answer the aforementioned question with the hypothesis of the possibility of interpreting its constitutional and legal role, as well as the concepts of governance in the science of public administration. The deductive method was used in the investigation phase and made use of bibliographical research techniques and operational concepts.

Published: January 2025

Este artículo analiza cómo el uso de productos de limpieza doméstica contribuye a la contaminación atmosférica, ya que contienen compuestos orgánicos volátiles (COVs) y sustancias químicas que afectan la calidad del aire. A través de una revisión de estudios científicos y datos ambientales, se examinan las fuentes de emisión de estos compuestos y sus implicaciones para la salud pública y el cambio climático. En Estados Unidos, los productos de limpieza son una fuente significativa de COVs, que contribuyen a la formación de ozono y partículas finas en áreas urbanas. El California Air Resources Board (CARB) ha implementado regulaciones estrictas para reducir estas emisiones. Además, muchas naciones lideran la adopción de medidas para mitigar el impacto ambiental mediante regulaciones y la promoción de productos de limpieza sostenibles. Los resultados indican que el uso indiscriminado de productos de limpieza, junto con la falta de regulaciones, ha aumentado la contaminación en áreas urbanas y periurbanas. Se proponen recomendaciones para mitigar estos impactos mediante alternativas más sostenibles y regulaciones más estrictas.

Corruption in Public Procurement and its Implication on Public Service Delivery and Development in Uganda
Authors: Mukobi Robert
Published: January 2025

Although public procurement is prone to corruption, its extent and impact vary across countries. This inquiry posits that without understanding the magnitude and consequences of corruption, efforts to prioritize anti-corruption measures and develop appropriate strategies to enhance value for money in government spending will be significantly undermined. This paper presents an empirical study on the impact of corruption in public procurement on public service delivery and development in Uganda. The research is based on the surging complexity of corruption in public procurement—a critical function of service delivery, whose effective management is essential for achieving Uganda’s development goals. The study reveals that corrupt practices by stakeholders at all procurement stages indicate a collusion between internal and external actors, undermining the objective of delivering value for money in government acquisitions to Ugandans. The findings show that corruption in public procurement weakens public service delivery when a significant portion of the budget intended for this purpose is misappropriated. This corruption in acquiring public services, goods, and works deprives the majority of Ugandans of a decent living and better livelihoods, reduces the quality and quantity of public services, and increases costs, disproportionately affecting the poor and other vulnerable groups. It hampers economic growth and development by raising the cost of doing business and obstructing strategic investments and entrepreneurship. This article underscores the urgent need for comprehensive reforms aimed at improving the Ugandan governance system, strengthening criminal prosecution, and enhancing efficiency, effectiveness, and economy to combat corruption in public procurement.
Mitigating Malawi’s Corruption Crisis: Lessons from Botswana
Authors: Gumboh Esther
Published: January 2025

Malawi is losing its fight against corruption. Despite improvements to its anti-corruption measures, the country continues to multiply its high-level corruption scandals. Anti-corruption agencies work in a challenging environment underpinned by systemic challenges. Recent events at the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), Malawi’s main corruption watchdog, have further dented the country’s anti-corruption efforts, undermining public trust in the ACB and fuelling speculation on political interference in the institution. A presidential commission of inquiry into the matters revealed a sombre image of a broken anti-corruption front fostered by misconceptions of absolute independence that have bred animosity and mistrust. Worse, stripped of integrity and public trust, the Bureau is isolated from key anti-corruption agencies like the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Attorney General, and the Malawi Police Service. Unsurprising, Malawi’s anti-corruption fight has been left compromised. Meanwhile, despite its challenges, Botswana remains a beacon for anti-corruption strategies in Africa and offers some lessons. Sustained genuine political will and cooperation amongst anti-corruption institutions are key. These factors, plus an enabling institutional environment uninterrupted by political interference and which fosters well-resourced and unified mechanisms, will assist Malawi to restore public trust in its anti-corruption drive and steer the country towards success.

Après les célébrations du quatrième centenaire de la naissance du Barde, il était nécessaire de scruter le revers de la médaille et de s’intéresser à toutes les formes d’insatisfaction, voire de désaveu, qui poussent à réécrire, transformer, manipuler ou massacrer le grand homme. Il ne s’agit pas de faire une histoire des réécritures, en considérant la simple transposition dans une autre aire culturelle ou la nécessaire adaptation à un contexte nouveau, mais de regarder de plus près les formes de refus qui sont inhérentes aux réutilisations de toutes sortes, en tentant de cerner ce qui, jusque dans l’hommage, se glisse de réticence, voire de rejet profond.
Les études réunies en ce volume émanent d’un colloque tenu en Sorbonne en décembre 2015. Pour prendre la mesure de ces résistances, elles balisent un large empan chronologique (du XVIIe siècle à nos jours), culturel (Angleterre, France, Belgique, Allemagne, Espagne, Italie, Canada) et générique (pièce, essai, pamphlet, film, fanfiction).

Hetairas: The Pre-Feminist Empowered Womenof the Western Antiquity
Authors:   Polytechnic University of the Philippines-Manila, De Loyola Ronel
Published: January 2025

Women being equal to men is a rare episode in antiquity. However, the existence of hetairas proves that the oppression of women throughout history cannot be steadily maintained as the sole relationship between the sexes, where men always dictate the dynamics of power. The strategic utilization of their sexuality enabled hetairas to participate in the intellectual, political, and artistic fields; such experience of a select group of women should be seen as a nuanced exposition of women’s history before the advent of the feminist movement. The hetaira, whose identity was associated with the elite sympotic culture, was antithetical to both the prostitute and the wife in terms of her privilege for self-definition and economic independence. With her capability to navigate the spaces dominated by men, a hetaira may seemingly appear empowered by not being commodified, just like a prostitute or a wife who was unable to live outside the sanctity of marriage. However, her ‘glory’ is at the mercy of the attention and material benefits she receives from her male patrons.
THE LONELINESS AND FRUSTRATIONS OF EDEL GARCELLANO
Authors: Jimenez Jayson C.
Published: January 2025

It is undeniable that Edel Garcellano’s works – from poetry to criticism to philosophy – dawned on a new form of pessimism. His intensification of nihilism made Garcellano an undeniable force in Philippine literature and an original thinker amongst us. This essay intervenes by exploring the philosophical pessimism of Edel Garcellano. Comparing him to the Romanian philosopher Emil Cioran, I argue that Garcellano’s pessimism and nihilism challenged the established texts and contexts in the Philippine intellectual landscape. Of particular interest is how his works embody a consistent grasp of philosophical nihilism a la Cioran that made him ahead of our time.
Novels of the 20 th Century Analyzed Basedon Marilyn Frye’s Oppression
Authors:   Polytechnic University of the Philippines-Manila, Angoluan Mary Sarah
Published: January 2025

Novels have been considered mirrors of social realities. In Soledad S. Reyes’ work Values of Love and Marriage in the Tagalog Novels (1980), with the help of 25 novels, Reyes reveals the Filipino concept of love and marriage and how such concepts are influenced by parents, society, and family members to adhere to the idealized love and marriage. Taking Reyes’ work as true, this paper will look into Reyes’ work and her conclusion that the concept of love and marriage are networks that oppress women based on Marilyn Frye’s Oppression (2000). Hence, this paper will conclude that despite Reyes’ work being only one, the novels she has analyzed are numerous, and these novels have different themes which when related to each other will reveal a network that oppresses women to adhere to the idea of women during those times.

Published: January 2025

It has been found that language use differs according to age, gender, socioeconomic class, background, region, and ethnicity. Linguists should look at this reality further and more thoroughly. In the context of mainstream, English-speaking, white settings in the US, UK, and Australia, their studies have examined how language usage varies by gender. This qualitative research is conducted to discover the topics and how they develop in the talks among single, middle-class, white women in their 30s, working, and living in New York City, United States of America (USA). The data are taken from 16 conversations considered talks among these women as the main characters in the 12 episodes of the first season of the USA TV series, Sex and the City. The data are then analyzed by referring to the research conducted by Jennifer Coates (Coates and Cameron, 1988). Based on the analysis, it is found that these talks are about women’s opinions, feelings, and experiences and that there are six patterns of topic development in these all-female conversations. These conversations consist of exposition, development, and coda but only differ in how the participants introduce the topics, lead them into the discussion, and end the conversations.

Published: January 2025

Blood transfusions have recently emerged as a crucial element in the global healthcare system. The procedure is carried out by giving the recipient blood that a healthy (disease-free) donor donated. Repeat blood donors could be more at risk of iron deficiency anaemia than first-time donors. Even in those with normal haemoglobin levels, iron levels can become low. Iron deficiency anaemia caused by blood donation in donors who have given blood multiple times has been documented. This Study is conducted to assess the comparative haematological parameters among first-time blood donors and repeat blood donors of Kathmandu Valley. Eighty blood donors of both genders were included in the Study from different locations of Kathmandu Valley through the blood bank of Frontline Hospital. Blood was collected from blood donors according to the guidelines for blood donation by the World Health Organization (WHO). Blood was collected from an anti-cubital vein in an EDTA vial, which was used for the estimation of Hematological parameters (Hemoglobin, RBC, PCV, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW ). MCV, MCH, and MCHC were found to be significantly lower in repeat blood donors who have donated blood five times and more when compared to first-time blood donors (p< 0.05), whereas RDW was seen to be significantly higher(p<0.05).On the other hand, haemoglobin, RBC, and PCV were not significantly different in repeat donors and first-time blood donors. The main conclusion of this Study was that donors with a blood donation history of five or more times had significantly lower MCV, MCH, and MCHC and significantly greater RDW. Since these repeat donors have a high risk of iron deficiency, the proportion of subclinical anaemia that was recorded.
Medication Adherence to Psychotropic Drugs among Patient Attending OPD of Teaching Hospital Chitwan Medical College Teaching Hospital, Nepal
Authors: Kafle Rukmani
Published: January 2025

Mental disorders constitute a serious public health problem, mental disorders pose a major problem with regard to adherence to medication and are influenced by various factors. This study aimed to investigate the level of medication adherence to psychotropic drugs and the association between selected factors among mentally ill clients in psychiatric OPD of CMCTH, Chitwan, who were under medication for at least two months or more. A sample of N=155 clients was selected using a non-probability convenient sampling technique. Data were collected by using a structured interview schedule, and medication adherence was categorized into three levels. Data were analyzed by using descriptive (frequency, percentage, median and interquartile range) and inferential statistics (Chi-square). The study result revealed that only 26.5% of clients had high medication adherence. A statistically significant relationship was found between medication adherence and selected variables such as the residence of the client, duration of illness, follow-up visit on the right date, dropout when felt better, the effectiveness of drugs, perceived stigma due to mental illness, stress and traditional health-seeking behavior. In deduction, about one-fourth of clients had high medication adherence in this study. Factors associated with medication adherence were diverse and complex. In light of this, health workers should focus on factors affecting adherence while treating or caring the clients to achieve high adherence. Ultimately, high adherence to medication decreases the risk of psychiatric morbidity and mortality.
