ON CHALLENGES OF REINVIGORATING COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE FOR HIGHER EDUCATION AND RESEARCH SYSTEMS IN THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA
Authors: KHACHATRYAN ROBERT , HOVHANNISYAN SAMVEL
Published: March 2022

The 21st century has witnessed arduous efforts of world polities to
endure the ups and downs of globalization and has coerced many economies
to step into the age of knowledge-based economies, subsequently triggering
substantive changes in the domains of national higher education and research
systems. Globalization, geopolitical and socio-cultural provident
developments, and economic instable changes have drastically increased
international competition, have intensified massification in higher education
and rapidly advanced technologies to the level where these veracities
necessitated radical and systemic transformations and reforms in higher
education systems across the world.
Gobierno en cuestión. Una encuesta de opinión pública
Authors: IUDOP
Published: March 2022

A principios de febrero de 1987 se corrió una encuesta de opinión pública entre una muestra de 1081 adultos, representativa de la población urbana de El Salvador, con un margen de error del 3 por ciento. Los resultados muestran la profunda insatisfacción de la población con la actual situación del país y con el desempeño del gobierno. La mayoría de las personas ve con pesimismo la situación económica y piensa que los programas económicos o "paquetes" iniciados el año anterior sólo contribuirán a deteriorar aún más las condiciones de vida. En lo político, sólo 1 de cada 10 salvadoreños considera que se esté dando en el país un proceso de democratización o que el gobierno está teniendo una buena actuación. Incluso 4 de cada 10 salvadoreños piensan que el presidente Duarte debería renunciar. Sin embargo, de cara a las elecciones presidenciales de 1989, los salvadoreños no muestran ninguna preferencia clara. Frente a la imagen que la propaganda suele pintar, la voz del pueblo salvadoreño pone de manifiesto una vivencia muy negativa respecto a la marcha de los acontecimientos y la conducción política del país.ECA Estudios Centroamericanos, Vol. 42, No. 461, 1987: 191-211.

The role of and relationship between hamstring and quadriceps muscle myofascial trigger points in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome
Authors:   , Smith Karen Louise Frandsen
Published: March 2022

Purpose: Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome is a common condition in all age groups, with a multifactorial etiology. This study aimed to investigate the association between the Quadriceps femoris muscle group, Hamstring muscle group and Adductor muscle group, and to establish the relationship between myofascial trigger points (MFTP’s) in these muscle groups and patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Methods: A cross-sectional, observational, quantitative non-intervention clinical assessment study was conducted at the Chiropractic Day Clinic at Durban University of Technology (DUT), to determine the extent of the PFPS, the MFTPs and thus the relationship between the two. The study included eighty patients with PFPS, who were recruited by convenience sampling. The results were captured using Microsoft excel and SPSS version 15.0 was used to analyze the data. Results: Quadriceps femoris muscle group MFTPs were noted in 92.5% of the patients (most prevalent being Vastus medialis TP1 (63.8%), Vastus lateralis TP1 (33.8%) and Vastus intermedius at 27,5%). Least common was Vastus lateralis TP2 only presenting in 2,5% of the patients. Hamstring muscle group MFTPs were found overall in 86.3% of patients (most prevalent being in Biceps femoris muscle (66%), and least prevalent being in Semitendinosus muscle (11,3%)). MFTPs were present in 64% overall of the Adductor muscle group (Adductor magnus muscle being the most common). Significant associations were made between the presence of MFTPs in the Vastus lateralis TP2 (p=0.00), Vastus medialis TP1 (p=0.046; 0.005; 0.004), the NRS and the PPSS. Also significant was the relationship between the NRS, PPSS and the Semimembranosus and Adductor magnus muscles indicated that these muscles were the most likely causes of pain even though they had fewer MFTPs than other comparable muscles. Conclusion: The outcomes of this study supports previous research indicating that an extensor dysfunction of the Quadriceps femoris muscle group may be of MFTP origin and indicates that other muscles in the thigh require further research indicating their role in the development of PFPS.

Authors: Захруддинов Ильёсиддин
Published: March 2022

В статье рассматривается проблема глобализации культуры и влияние, распространение западной культуры и ценностей на другие страны. Отмечается, что западная культура и ее ценности во многом отличаются от восточной культуры и восточных ценностей, и для того, чтобы сохранить отечественную культуру, предпочтение отдаётся консервативным ценностям. Для укрепления отечественных ценностей предлагается возрождение научных и историко-нравственных традиций и ценностей, которые нынешнее поколение постепенно забывает, а также правильно использовать религиозные ценности, в особенности ислама. Тажке, для не распротранения чуждых нам ценностей необходимо ввести некоторую цензуру. Отмечается, что таджикское общество имеет консервативный характер, поэтому реализация предлагаемых предложений сохраняют его устойчивость. В противном случае возможно вторжение культур и ценностей других обществ, которые могут угрожать суверенитету нации-государству.

PROSPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT OF LITHIUM RESOURCE BASE IN UKRAINE
Authors: Naumenko Uliana , Vasylenko Svitlana
Published: March 2022

Rare metals are an important component of Ukraine's resource base. According to preliminary estimates, the overall lithium resource potential in Ukraine is quite high. The main lithium deposits are associated with Proterozoic complexes (1,7–2,1 billion years) of alkaline rocks, carbonate and granite pegmatites. Significant lithium reserves have been discovered at the Shevchenkivske, Polokhivske, Stankuvatske deposits and Dobra, Kruta Balka promising areas. The estimation of lithium oxide reserves is close to 500,000 tons, but none of lithium deposits in Ukraine are not mining yet. Most of lithium deposits are complex that is why even medium and small deposits can be attractive for investment, having well-developed infrastructure and the presence of mining and processing enterprises within the Ukrainian Shield (US).

THE MODERN RESEARCHS ON GROUNDWATER RESOURCES OF MOIST SUBTROPICAL SOILS OF AZERBAIJAN
Authors: Talibi Sima
Published: March 2022

One of the leading areas of modern soil science is the study of groundwater for use in agriculture. The importance of this direction is determined by the development of methods for studying soil processes. In uncultivated soils formed under natural vegetation, the approach of the groundwater level to the surface leads to soil salinization and waterlogging. Long-term and systematic irrigation in the Lerik region creates a completely new water and soil process. The reserves of humus, carbon, nitrogen and the C:N ratio were determined in pseudo-podzolized clayey mountain-forest yellow earth soils (Aric, Staqnic Cleyic Acrisols - Loamic) common in the zone of humid subtropics in the Lerik region located in the southern part of Azerbaijan. In order to turn uncultivated soils into arable land, it is necessary to create a mathematical model of groundwater level fluctuations, to determine the functional relationship between the amount of nutrients and the final product. The application of the results of mathematical calculations ensures the involvement of lands in agriculture and obtaining high productivity from these lands. The results of analyzes of the river waters chosen as the object of study show that there were no serious mineralization processes in the rivers. The mineralization of river waters in the Lerik region varied within 0.439-0.678 g/l. The content of magnesium in water taken from the Lerik region ranges from 0.021-0.037 g/l. The content of sodium and potassium ions in the salinity of water ranges from 0.061-0.083 g/l. According to the results of analyzes, it can be seen that the mineral composition of the Lerik River is useful for drinking and suitable for agriculture, as irrigation water.

Economic coping strategies and food security in poor rural households
Authors: Junaidi Junaidi , Amril Amril , Hernando Riski
Published: March 2022

Purpose. This study aims to analyze economic coping strategies and their relationship to the food security of poor rural households.

Methodology / approach. This research was conducted by comparing food crop farming households with those who farm plantation crops. The used data were sourced from surveys in four sample rural areas in two districts of Jambi Province, Indonesia, namely Merangin Regency and Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency. The used analysis tool was Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).

Results. The results show that poor rural households’ economic coping strategies are still low, both in the context of a passive strategy (cutting back expenses) and an active strategy (generating income). Plantation households have a lower economic coping strategy than food crop farming households. The level of food security in food crop households is relatively good compared to that of plantation crop households. Nearly half of food crop households are categorized as having good food security, while only around 20 % of plantation crop households are so categorized. Family characteristics and coping strategies significantly influence household food security in plantation crop households. On the other hand, the level of household food security in food crop households is not influenced by coping strategies, but only by family characteristics.

Originality / scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of the study is in a study approach that links household food security with coping strategies and family socio-economic conditions. Furthermore, this study specifically conducted a comparative study of households of food crop farmers and plantation crop farmers, considering that these are the two main livelihood commodities for rural residents.

Practical value / implications. Through this research, it is hoped that the concept/theory of improving the food security of poor households (especially in rural areas) can be developed based on the potential and real conditions of the households themselves, so that the formulated policies can be more effective and sustainable.
The relationship between human capital and environmental destruction: the case of European countries
Authors: Yildiz Tuba , Arslan Ünal , Sağlam Çeliköz Yıldız
Published: March 2022

Purpose. This study aims to examine the relationship between human capital and environmental destruction.

Methodology / approach. The analysis includes 56 years between 1961 and 2017 for 14 selected European countries. In the model established for the variables, the ecological footprint is used as the dependent variable, human capital and real national income per capita are used as independent variables. To select the appropriate test method in the analysis, we used the CADF panel unit root test, which considers the cross-sectional dependence. The Pooled Mean Group was used for model estimation.

Results. In the study, it is emphasized that human capital has an important contribution to reducing the ecological footprint as an indicator of environmental pollution. According to the results of the PMG co-integration analysis, the increase in human capital reduces the ecological footprint in European countries. Since the European countries are developed ones, the availability of a good educational infrastructure is an important factor. It increases human capital. In addition, the high level of education and welfare in European countries is effective in increasing the number of environmentally sensitive individuals. This increases the environmental quality and therefore is an important factor in reducing the ecological footprint.

Originality / scientific novelty. There are no studies in the literature examining the relationship between human capital and the ecological footprint of European countries. Therefore, this study closes a gap in the literature and takes its originality from the relationship between human capital and ecological footprint in European countries.

Practical value / implications. The practical value of the results is that human capital reduces the ecological footprint by protecting natural resources, exhibiting a more environmentally friendly behavior, and realizing production that will minimize the damage to the environment.

The Market for a Public High School Degree
Authors: Parker Lana , Delia Deckard Natalie
Published: March 2022

Here, we question the ways in which the preponderance of international students as tuition-paying consumers of public (and private) schools in the core is shifting the model of education, and the vision of citizenship, in the world system. Although significant work has been done to illuminate these dynamics in higher education, we argue that the nascent market at the secondary level is particularly instructive of global trends in late capitalism. A thoughtful consideration of the presence of tuition-paying high school students in U.S., British, Australian, and Canadian public-school systems demands an engagement with the cultural colonization of periphery knowledge systems that accompanies the extraction of all surplus commodified value in service of the idea of development. In the high stakes globalized free market—in which the gap between core and periphery grows ever-larger—core secondary schools become places to attain core credentials, core values, and core belonging. The students’ tuition dollars represent an increasing proportion of underfunded school districts’ revenues in austerity regimes, blurring the line between education as a public good and education as a salable commodity. We empirically demonstrate the dynamics of the market in international secondary education using existing public data, and we explore its contingencies, beneficiaries, and victims. We posit a world system in which commodified children are coerced consumers of core value systems and are credentialed as honorary members of the “haves.” We argue that, in the increasingly zero-sum competitions for artificially scarce resources, inequality drives demand for international secondary school education, which in turn drives inequality.
How Challenging It Is to Learn Mathematics Online

Published: March 2022

Distance education is an unprecedented form of instruction for most students, making it difficult to learn, especially in Mathematics. This study aimed to elucidate the students' level of challenge in learning mathematics and its influencing predictors amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Primary data was gathered through a Google form questionnaire from 135 college students under a non-probabilistic sampling. Some descriptive statistical measures and a regression model were employed to summarize and analyze the data gathered. Results revealed that the mean challenge perception score was 6.45, which indicates that learning mathematics at a distance is "challenging". The regression models revealed that students have difficulty acquiring internet load due to the financial crisis. Due to anxiety brought by the pandemic and distractions through social media friends, students cannot focus on their mathematics activities. In addition, due to some limitations and barriers in remote learning, students have difficulty understanding their lessons. Hence, mathematics teachers need to have positive attitudes and encourage students to pursue despite all the challenges. Furthermore, teachers must also be considerate to their students regarding output deadlines and examinations.

Published: March 2022

Inevitable educational challenges were brought by the COVID-19 pandemic affecting one of the most vulnerable groups, the Students-at-Risk-of-Dropping-Out (SARDOs). Public Senior High Schools provided printed self-learning modules (PSLMs) delivered to and collected from the students, including SARDOs as part of the Philippines' printed modular distance learning (PMDL). This research inquiry in the realm of social science grew out of context faced by the working SARDOs in the COVID-19 ravaged era of PMDL. This phenomenological study had examined, explored, and heard the silent voices and lived experiences of working SARDOs in their quest for learning. This study had utilized Husserlian descriptive phenomenology. Participants were chosen using criterion sampling, a purposeful sampling technique. They were eight (8) Grade 12 identified SARDOs based on the Family, individual, community, and school (FICS) Analysis. The data were collected through unstructured in-depth interviews. The iterative process was followed until a saturation point was reached. The gathered data were analyzed utilizing Moustakas (1994), Modified Stevick (1971)-Colaizzi (1973)-Keen's (1975) method. The study revealed that SARDOs were hurdling difficulties at the beginning of PMDL, including health and psychological issues and the digital divide. These difficulties led to adapting to the newness, including tapping resources for learning, prioritizing, and compromising. Achieving expected and unexpected outcomes were reached, including the attainment of skills and competencies and the gap in the learning acquisition. Realizing new perspectives was the resolution of the transformational journey of SARDOs, which includes the power of grit, perseverance, tenacity, and critical hopefulness. The lived experiences of these SARDOs in the PMDL in the middle of the pandemic is not just an obstacle course on its own but instead, an arduous metamorphic experience that metamorphosed them into resilient and solution-driven learners that aimed higher to reach their academic goals.

Published: March 2022

Before the coronavirus pandemic, digital transformation of education has been more or less an area of science rather than a widespread practice in the Philippines, most especially in schools in the provinces. However, despite the unpreparedness of educational institutions, the digital transformation of education had to happen overnight, which greatly challenged the digital skills of teachers, especially those of the Baby Boomers. Utilizing a generic qualitative research approach, this study explored the lived experiences of the Baby Boomer generation in the digital transformation of the teaching and learning process. The participants were chosen using the purposive sampling technique. The data were gathered from the six full-time online teachers utilizing the unstructured in-depth interview. The iterative process was observed during the interview until the saturation point was reached. The gathered data were analyzed using Lichtman's 3 Cs, the coding, categorizing, and forming concepts. The study revealed three themes with nine sub-themes. Their experiences surpassing challenges and difficulties include facing uncertainties and doubts, conquering fears and reservations, and overcoming limitations and frustrations. Their experiences specific to upgrading and recalibrating oneself include learning independently, seeking help from experts, and investing in technology and gadgets. Their realizations of positive outlook include preparedness leads to success, positive attitude creates positive outcomes, and commitment ensures survival.

Authors: Gallardo Maria Theresa B. , Chavez Maria Lourdes L.
Published: March 2022

Guidance Counselors are professionals with a specialized practice that ensures the holistic development of students. Despite their crucial role, there is little research exploring the experiences and perceptions of guidance counselors in terms of wellness programs, well-being, self-care practices, and retention. This study aims to create research and evidence-based interventions to improve well-being and maintain work satisfaction among guidance counselors. Using Giorgi’s phenomenological qualitative approach, this study is based on interviews conducted with twelve (12) guidance counselors from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The findings suggest improving wellness programs, namely, physical, mental, and spiritual programs, a strong support system among colleagues, and other incentives and forms of compensation. It was also found that a healthy work environment is a key to FGC retention, which consists of harmonious work relationships, a strong support system, psychological safety, counselor training, further education, and a flexible and accommodating workload and schedule. Financial elements also come to play and other long-term benefits of employment. Intrapersonal factors include self-care and personal commitment. The current research recommends utilizing the proposed wellness and retention program framework and offered mental health and wellness programs of FGC.

Published: March 2022

In our world today, pneumonia is among the common diseases that cause difficulty in breathing for humans. In the Philippines, it is one of the deadliest diseases that cut off the life of the citizens. Its direct or indirect negative effects threaten the health and life expectancy of human beings. This study determines the risk factors of pneumonia by applying Binary Logistic Regression then developing a model to estimate the probability that an individual may acquire pneumonia based on his or her medical and non-medical records. Results showed that the best fitting model contains eight risk factors, namely, Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB), Bronchitis, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), duration of hospital stay, age, acute gastritis, cerebral infarction, and dehydration. The first four risk factors and age (at least 65 years) increase the odds of having pneumonia, while the last three risk factors decrease the odds of having pneumonia.

Introdução: A Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) é um setor de alta complexidade que possui tecnologia avançada, sendo destinada a pacientes que requerem maiores cuidados. Devido a demanda excessiva de trabalho é um local que tende a não ter humanização durante os processos de saúde, podendo prejudicar a qualidade da assistência ocasionando algum tipo de dano ao paciente, exemplo desses eventos adversos são as lesões por pressão. Objetivo: Descrever as intervenções de enfermagem que previnem as lesões por pressão em pacientes internados na UTI. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, do tipo revisão integrativa, onde será abordado sobre lesão por pressão na UTI. Foi realizado por meio de busca em base de dados disponíveis na Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS) através dos descritores em saúde: enfermeiros, UTI e lesão por pressão, no idioma português, respeitando o marco temporal de 5 anos (2017 a 2022).  Resultados: Para o desenvolvimento do estudo foram realizadas leituras e análises minuciosas de seis documentos encontrados a partir da busca realizada previamente. Considerações Finais: Conforme citado no desenvolvimento da pesquisa, foi possível perceber que as medidas de prevenção são um conjunto de cuidados que cabe ao enfermeiro do setor prescrever e orientar aos profissionais quanto a importância do desenvolvimento dessas práticas.
Rainwater Harvesting Systems in Urban Areas and the Potential Value of Incorporating Community Engagement
Authors: Beirne Madeleine , Silverman Jeremy , Bronzi Olivia , Quiros Melissa , Tendulkar Shalini , Kosinski Karen
Published: March 2022

Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is a water catchment technique used in urban areas globally. RWH has a deep history rooted in indigenous practices and has recently become more accepted in urban areas. The quality and quantity of harvested water depends both on the geographical location of the system with respect to nearby land-use, seasonality, and rainfall intensity, as well as the material of the catchment surface. The economic viability of RWH systems is dependent on initial expenses, operation and maintenance costs, and water fees. Furthermore, government subsidies and clear, concise policy may improve water tank installation, usage, and maintenance. Policy may also help the general public install and use RWH systems through the promotion of education that improves RWH-specific knowledge. While community engagement (CE), stakeholder participation, and increased community knowledge of RWH may potentially yield increases in system use and sustainability, there is a general paucity of this research in peer-reviewed literature. Future studies should explore community engagement within the context of rainwater harvesting systems in urban areas.
COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy and Acceptance in the Global Context: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Published: March 2022

Large-scale vaccination is the only hope to end the COVID-19 pandemic. Previous studies show that many people are hesitant to get vaccinated and the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy varies between countries and non-dominant groups. Our study aims to shed light on the latest trends in vaccine hesitancy and acceptance across countries and identify the predictors driving these trends in the global context. We used meta-analytic techniques to analyse the trends in vaccine hesitancy and acceptance, and a systematic review approach to analyse their predictors in the global context. We found that, across all studies, the acceptance and hesitancy rates for taking the vaccine are 64% and 21% respectively. The acceptance rate among healthcare workers was found to be higher than the general adult population (70% vs 61%). Female gender, concerns on side effects and perceiving the vaccine unsafe were the most reported predictors of hesitancy. Older age, higher educational level, flu vaccine history, and low perceived risks were found to predict COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. Many nations face huge challenges to get their significant proportion of populations immune to COVID-19. It is important to disseminate accurate information through trusted channels, and policymakers should address predictors of hesitancy when designing vaccination policies.
Putting the First Amendment in Play: Name, Image, and Likeness Policies and Athlete Freedom of Speech
Authors: Ehrlich Sam , Ternes Neal
Published: March 2022

Following a unanimous defeat at the Supreme Court in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) v. Alston and facing an impending start date for various state laws that would force action on athletes’ ability to profit off their name, image, and likeness (NIL), the NCAA recently made the decision to simply allow states and member colleges and universities to promulgate NIL restrictions on their own.  But while such a delegation helps the NCAA stave off relevant antitrust action against them, placing regulatory authority over college athlete endorsement and sponsorship deals in the hands of government actors like state legislators, governors, and public educational institutions brings constitutional analysis into play in a way that has not previously been seen in sports due to the wholly private natures of sports leagues and the NCAA.

Along these lines, this Article applies First Amendment jurisprudence to three recurring NIL restrictions imposed by states and schools:  (1) restrictions on athlete deals that conflict with institutional endorsement deals; (2) restrictions on athlete deals with vice industries like gambling and alcohol; and (3) broad restrictions on deals that conflict with undefined “institutional values.”  To do so, we apply several First Amendment doctrinal frameworks—those concerning commercial speech, student speech, public employee speech, and the overbreadth doctrine—to provide a range of different means by which courts may interpret how the rights of college athletes are affected by NIL policies.  In the end, we find that the nature of these restrictions as overbroad prior restraints of free speech creates significant doubt as to the constitutionality of many of these restrictions under the First Amendment.  We conclude that such restrictions in no uncertain form “present a ‘realistic danger’ [that these actors] could significantly compromise recognized First Amendment protections,” including the advanced protections for political speech.

Published: March 2022

This study reports on efforts over several years to design and implement a yearlong intervention intended to support secondary mathematics teachers in their early years of teaching. The intervention is designed to retain early career mathematics teachers in the professions by engaging them in the development of meaningful professional relationships with a school-based mentors, and  by creating an online community of practice for support with other professionals. The intervention itself consists of early career teachers and their mentors participating in monthly professional learning activities such as online meetings, videoconferencing panels with experts, and collaborative reading and discussing timely, purposeful, and relevant content. The intervention is designed to not over burden the participants and to be feasible for national implementation with little to no funding. This article presents the purpose, design, and implementations of the intervention, as well as a discussion of challenges faced and potential next steps and future directions for similar work.
Jumping on the Shower Curtain
Authors: Throop Robinson Evan
Published: March 2022

In this paper I discuss the possibilities for exploring the hundred chart kinesthetically with elementary preservice teachers using a life-size hundred chart—an innovative tool, homemade from a shower curtain—to build quantity sense. Preservice teachers explored creative approaches to teach mathematics using the life-size hundred chart and planned engaging movement activities for young students. I detail the activity prompts for students, sample lesson ideas from preservice teachers, and reflections from those who implemented the tool in their instruction. I provide additional suggestions for teacher educators to use this tool in building quantity sense with their students.
