Published: January 2023

Humans and the environment are two natural elements that can never be separated. The environment provides all human needs for survival and humans have also used the environment from 2.5 million years ago to this moment. Currently, the environmental damage that is accelerating cannot be separated from human intervention itself, and the solution should also start from human hands as well. One of the solutions that the government can do is to provide a space for cross-stakeholder collaboration such as the community, non-profit organizations, youth communities in Indonesia with the same enthusiasm to present solutions for environmental restoration, it is hoped that this can accelerate solutions to environmental damage. From this problem, the Greeneration Foundation is trying to be present to offer a concrete solution by inviting the public to donate a minimum of Rp. 10,000 for a sustainable environmental solution by adapting technological developments that are implemented on an online Green Fund Digital Philanthropy donation platform. As a new institution that operates as a fundraiser, the Greeneration Foundation has quite a tough challenge to be able to improve aspects of donor involvement so that they can continue to donate to the Green Fund Digital Philanthropy platform. One way that can be done to increase donor involvement is to implement a gamification scheme on the donation platform, but in its implementation it requires a big commitment from the Greeneration Foundation and must pay attention to the needs of donors. To answer these problems, the methodology used uses a mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative). In-depth interview data is used as qualitative data as an internal consideration for the gamification scheme development process, and survey data is used as quantitative data to illustrate user/donor awareness of the gamification scheme that will be implemented on the donation platform. The results will be calculated using several tools such as the value proportion canvas.
A Stylistic Analysis of Lexical, Cohesion and Context Features of the Literary Styles in the Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar' by Roald Dahl and 'The Little Lantern' by Ghassan Kanafani: A Contrastive Study

The most popular field in literary studies is stylistics. Its goal is to discover the language use and meaning patterns seen in literary writings and to demonstrate the formal elements' functional value in such texts. This study is an attempt to discuss the linguistic and stylistic features of two famous English and Arabic children's short stories in the 20th century by famous writers. The English story being Roald Dahl's Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, and the Arabic story: the Little Lantern by Ghassan Kanafani. Due to their differences in grammar and syntax, Arabic and English belong to separate language families. This paper's major goal is to compare and contrast the lexical, contextual, and coherence aspects used in English and Arabic children's stories. This study is based on a stylistic examination of two works, one in Arabic and the other in English. The writer of both texts employs lexical, context, and cohesion aspects to depict the social and cultural contexts of their respective texts. The study of stylistic variety in languages and how its users take advantage of it is known as 'stylistics'. This definition is unquestionably broad enough to include everyone who uses the word 'stylistics' and would wish to be included. To examine the two texts in this study, the Short and Leech (2007) approach will be used. The researcher explains the linguistic devices utilized in each text and demonstrates the reasons for doing so.

Authors: Huda Anwar ul , Minhas Raheel , Yasir Mohammad
Published: January 2023

Objective: To assess the effect of intravenous ketamine on postoperative pain control, opioid consumption, and the incidence of postoperative adverse events in gynaecological surgeries.
Method: The systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in July 2020 and the search was repeated in July 2021 to ensure accuracy.  The review was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) in July 2020. The search, done on online databases Medline and Science Direct, comprised studies on patients who underwent general anaesthesia for gynaecological surgeries and received intravenous ketamine intraoperatively, and the findings included opioid consumption, postoperative pain control, and associated side-effects.
Results: Of the 79 randomised controlled trials found, 9(11.4%) were subjected to meta-analysis. The use of intravenous ketamine reduced pain score at 2h (p=0.003) and 24h (p=0.002) postoperatively in gynaecological surgeries. In laparoscopic gynaecological surgeries, lower pain scores were reported at 1h (p=0.01) and 2h (p=0.002) hours postoperatively. Lower pain scores were reported at 24h postoperatively in open gynaecological surgeries (p=0.002). Intravenous ketamine increased the time to first-request analgesia postoperatively (p=0.03), and reduced postoperative 24h opioid consumption (p=0.002).
Conclusion: The use of intravenous ketamine significantly reduced postoperative pain at 2h and 24h after gynaecological surgeries and at 1h and 2h after laparoscopic gynaecological surgeries.
Key Words: Ketamine, Pain score, Gynaecological surgery, Opioid consumption.

Seasonal and age dynamics of passalurosis invasion of rabbits and pathological and histological changes in this nematodosis
Authors: Prus Mikhailo , Duda Yulia , Koreyba Lyudmila , Borisevich Borys , Lisova Victoria
Published: January 2023

The most common nematode in rabbits is passalurosis, and climate change in Ukraine in recent decades has altered the epizootic manifestation of this parasitosis, which predetermines the relevance of this study. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to establish the epizootic situation regarding the passalurosis invasion and to investigate the pathological and histological changes in both the large and small intestines of rabbits with a high degree of damage by Passalurus ambiguus. The study used the McMaster method, the improved method of incomplete helminthological dissection according to K.I. Scriabin Private households in the Polissia zone of Ukraine were found to be the most vulnerable in terms of passalurosis infestation, where 37.70-41.67% of sick rabbits were registered. In the seasonal aspect, the highest infection of animals was found in winter (invasion extensiveness (IE) was 35.27%), with a peak in January (IE = 35.29%), the lowest – in summer (IE = 25.79%). Rabbits aged 1 to 2 years had the highest incidence of the pathogen Passalurus ambiguus (82.76%). It was found that with a high degree of damage (invasion intensiveness (II) – 2446.67 ± 422.11 eggs in 1 g of faeces) rabbits with passalurosis had catarrhal and catarrhal-haemorrhagic inflammation, swelling of the mucous membrane of the intestines with dotted or striped haemorrhages. The destruction of the villi of the mucous membrane of the small, caecum, and colon, crypt cells and infiltration by lymphocytes and monocytes, severe swelling of the submucosal base and muscle membrane, and a state of granular dystrophy of all smooth muscle cells of the muscle membrane were established. The detection of seasonal, age-related, and pathological-histological changes in rabbits with passalurosis will allow controlling the degree of infection of animals and promptly taking effective countermeasures, which predetermines the practical value of this study
Before There was a Bible
Authors: McDonald Lee Martin
Published: January 2023

How did authority function before the bible as we know it emerged? Lee Martin McDonald examines the authorities that existed from the Church’s beginning: the appeal to the texts containing the words of Jesus, and that would become the New Testament, the not yet finalized Hebrew Scriptures (referred to mostly in Greek) and the apostolic leadership of the churches.

McDonald traces several sacred core traditions that broadly identified the essence of Christianity before there was a bible summarized in early creeds, hymns and spiritual songs, baptismal and Eucharistic affirmations, and in lectionaries and catalogues from the fourth century and following. McDonald shoes how those traditions were included in the early Christian writings later recognized as the New Testament. He also shows how Christians were never fully agreed on the scope of their Old Testament canon (Hebrew scriptures) and that it took centuries before there was universal acceptance of all of the books now included in the Christian bible. Further, McDonald shows that whilst writings such as the canonical gospels were read as authoritative texts likely from their beginning, they were not yet called or cited as scripture. What was cited in an authoritative manner were the words of Jesus in those texts, alongside the multiple affirmations and creeds that were circulated in the early Church and formed its key authorities and core sacred traditions.
From Byzantine to Norman Italy
Authors: Vernon Clare
Published: January 2023

This book is the first major study to comprehensively analyse the art and architecture of the archdiocese of Bari and Canosa during the Byzantine period and the upheaval of the Norman conquest. The book places Bari and Canosa in a Mediterranean context, arguing that international connections with the eastern Mediterranean were a continuous thread that shaped art and architecture throughout the Byzantine and Norman eras. Clare Vernon has examined a wide variety of media, including architecture, sculpture, metalwork, manuscripts, epigraphy and luxury portable objects, as well as patronage, to illustrate how cross-cultural encounters, the first crusade, slavery and continuities and disruptions in the relationship with Constantinople, shaped the visual culture of the archdiocese. From Byzantine to Norman Italy will appeal to students and scholars of Byzantine art, the medieval Mediterranean and the Italo-Norman world.
Female Heroes in Young Adult Fantasy Fiction
Authors: Phillips Leah
Published: January 2023

Hero stories are deeply rooted in Western Culture. From religion and myth to blockbuster films and YA literature, the story is everywhere, and it shapes how we, the ones who hear and see it, understand the world around us. For too long, hero stories, which could also be called dominant discourse, have undertaken this social and cultural work through the archetypal hero: a white, often 'god'-touched, young man who exists in opposition and superiority to that which he is not, including adolescent girls. This paradigm works by imposing radical alterity on that which is not-hero to ensure his heroicness. Crucially, while this exclusion affects all girls, it does not do so evenly. If the girl is also Black or Brown, disabled, or otherwise not performing expected and accepted versions of adolescent girlhood, marginalisation increases.

Female Heroes explores how the heroes in a subgenre of YA fantasy, one it names mythopoeic YA, intervene in this narrative of superiority by breaking the boundaries and blurring the borders of what it means to be hero, girl, and even human. These heroes — such as Tamora Pierce's Alanna the Lioness, Marissa Meyer's Cinder, and the heterogeneous 'crew' at the heart of Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows duology — disrupt heroic norms and standards by occupying the spaces between oppositions. This occupation frustrates violent hierarchy, radical alterity and erasure, particularly of bodily difference, while also disrupting isolating individuality. In so doing, female heroes offer an alternative and inclusive model of being-hero, one directly impacting adolescent girlhood and beyond.
Theatre Across Borders
Authors: Majumdar Abhishek
Published: January 2023

Is there a fundamental connection between New York's Elevator Repair Service's 9-hour production of The Great Gatsby and a Kathakali performance?

How can we come to appreciate the slowness of Kabuki theatre as much as the pace of the Whatsapp theatre of post-Arab Spring Turkey?

Can we go beyond our own culture's contemporary definition of a 'good play' and think about the theatre in a deep and pluralistic manner?

Drawing on his extensive experience working with theatre artists, students and thinkers across the globe - up to and including an hour-long audience with the Dalai Lama - playwright Abhishek Majumdar considers why we make theatre and how we see it in different parts of the world.

His own work has taken him from theatre in Japan to dance companies in the Phillippines, writers in Lebanon and Palestine, theatre groups in Burkina Faso, war-torn areas like Kashmir and North Eastern India, and to China and Tibet, Argentina and Mexico.

Via a far-reaching and provocative collection of essays that is informed by this wealth of experience, Majumdar explores:

- how different cultures conceive theatre and how the norm of one place is the experiment of another;

- the ways in which theatre across the world mirrors its socio political and philosophical climate;

- how, for thousands of years, theatre has been a tool to both disrupt and to heal;

- and how, even within the many differences, there are universals from which we can all learn and how theatre does cross borders

Of interest to theatre makers everywhere - be they writers, actors, directors or designers - this book offers an oversight, as well as interrogation, into the place of theatre in the world today
Why Do Actors Train?
Authors: Krumholz Brad
Published: January 2023

How are we to understand the actor’s work as a fully embodied process?

'Embodied cognition' is a branch of contemporary philosophy which attempts to frame human understanding as a fully embodied interaction with the environment. Engaging with ideas of contemporary significance from neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, and philosophy, Why Do Actors Train? challenges outmoded mind/body dualistic notions that permeate common conceptions of how actors work. Theories of embodiment are drawn up to shed important light on the ways and reasons actors do what they do.

Through detailed, step-by-step analyses of specific actor-training exercises, the author examines the tools that actors use to perform roles. This book provides theatre practitioners with a new lens to re-examine their craft, offering a framework to understand the art form as one that is fundamentally grounded in embodied experience.
The Woman’s Voice
Authors: Rodenburg Patsy
Published: January 2023

Why are women still often not properly listened to?

Why are they sometimes perceived to be less interesting than they are?

Why do women tend to rush when they speak?

Why do some women feel the pressure to sound like little girls?

From one of the world’s leading experts on voice work comes this book, which is a call to arms for women to reclaim their voices.

Using elements of experience and practice from her prolific career, Patsy Rodenburg examines these questions, and many more, to decipher what lies at the heart of female empowerment.

From the age of four, Rodenburg knew that she found communication difficult. Her struggle with her own voice set her on the journey that led her to discover her vocation. She has spent her life re-finding and re-empowering voices, particularly the lost voices of women. Watching her highly intelligent working-class mother and grandmother ignored and often silenced gave her the insight to investigate why that was and how to help women overcome this centuries-old issue.

With warmth and humour, Rodenburg interrogates Shakespeare's texts and his presentation of female characters; develops the notion of rhetoric in relation to the female voice; and applies concepts explored in her previous books, including The Three Circles of Energy.

And, perhaps most crucially, through arguing that power and voice are directly linked to breath, Rodenburg makes the case that Western society's oppression of women has diminished their natural ability to breathe.

Exploring the female voice through practical exercises and stories from the front line, as well as profoundly personal and formative experiences from her own life, Rodenburg defines the art of accessing the voice within and reclaiming the woman's right to speak.

The European Nobility in The Eighteenth Century
Authors: Lukowski Jerzy
Published: January 2023

The position of the nobility depended on a stable world which accepted their authority: but, in the eighteenth century, that world was becoming increasingly fractured as a result of social and economic developments and new ideas. Since nobles were, in economic terms, an extremely disparate group, ranging from the near destitute to the unimaginably wealthy, how could this ruling class preserve a coherent identity? Was wealth more important than birth or education? How should wealth be retained or accumulated? And what role did women play in shoring up noble pre-eminence?

In this wide-ranging study, Jerzy Lukowski addresses these issues, and shows the pressures and tensions - both from governments and from the lower orders - which challenged traditional ruling groups in Europe during the century before the French Revolution. Lukowski explains the basic mechanisms of noble existence and examines how the European aristocracy sought to maintain a sense of solidarity in the midst of widespread change.

Gender and Community Care
Authors: Orme Joan
Published: January 2023

Are there differences in the way that men and women care? Are the care needs of women and men perceived as being different? What do we mean by community? Is being cared for always a positive experience? How can social workers and social care workers work positively with individual differences?

Much has been written about both the formal and informal provision of community care, and women's role within this. However, less attention has been paid to the users of community care services. Usually described in terms of being old, disabled, or experiencing mental health problems, service users are assumed to fit into homogeneous groups, their race and gender made invisible by the needs or problems they present.

This book takes the experiences of users of community care services as its starting point. Drawing on feminist theory it documents the gender assumptions behind social work practice and community care policies, and reveals how these impact on women and men as both providers and recipients of community care. In doing so it provides an outline of the developments in practice and policy, and illustrates how particular constructions of gender have influenced both. This important text challenges assumptions that caring is always a positive experience for women and men.

To conclude, a comprehensive overview of the literature about user groups is provided. This informs the author's argument that practitioners in social work and social care have to be attentive in their interventions to the way that identities are constructed and experienced, in order to ensure that services reflect both caring and justice.

Appropriating Antiquity for Modern Chinese Painting
Authors: Yang Chia-Ling
Published: January 2023

The pursuit of antiquity was important for scholarly artists in constructing their knowledge of history and cultural identity in late imperial China. By examining versatile trends within paintings in modern China, this book questions the extent to which historical relics have been used to represent the ethnic identity of modern Chinese art. In doing so, this book asks: did the antiquarian movements ultimately serve as a deliberate tool for re-writing Chinese art history in modern China?

In searching for the public meaning of inventive private collecting activity, Appropriating Antiquity in Modern Chinese Painting draws on various modes of artistic creation to address how the use of antiquities in early 20th-century Chinese art both produced and reinforced the imaginative links between ancient civilization and modern lives in the late Qing dynasty. Further exploring how these social and cultural transformations were related to the artistic exchanges happening at the time between China, Japan and the West, the book successfully analyses how modernity was translated and appropriated at the turn of the 20th century, throughout Asia and further afield.
David Bowie and the Moving Image
Authors: Reed Katherine
Published: January 2023

The central image of David Bowie’s “Life on Mars?” could have been ripped from his own experience: a child (with their “mousy hair”) sits “hooked to the silver screen,” reliving fantastical scenes played out on film over and over again. Throughout his life, Bowie was similarly transfixed by the power of film and might be best known among younger generations for his turn on the silver screen as Jareth, the goblin king of Jim Henson’s Labyrinth. From his first film role in The Image to his final music video before his death, “Lazarus,” Bowie’s musical output has long been intrinsically linked to images.

Despite this relationship to film, Bowie’s audio-visual work remains relatively unexplored. More narrowly focused studies address the artist’s music videos or film roles, but none provide a comprehensive view of the two-way street that was Bowie’s work with film, theorizing the way he engaged with the medium throughout his 50-year career. David Bowie and the Moving Image is just such a comprehensive study. Analyzing Bowie’s music videos, planned film projects, acting roles, and musical works included in films, this monograph provides an intervention in Bowie scholarship. This study of Bowie’s multimedia projects informs our understanding of all areas of his work, from music to fashion to visual art. It enters the debate about Bowie’s artistic legacy and fills an important gap by addressing Bowie as musician, actor, and auteur.
Intimacy and the Anxieties of Cinematic Flesh
Authors: Fuery Patrick
Published: January 2023

In a "return" to Edmund Husserl and Sigmund Freud, Intimacy and the Anxieties of Cinematic Flesh explores how we can engage these foundational thinkers of phenomenology and psychoanalysis in an original approach to film. The idea of the intimate spectator caught up in anxiety is developed to investigate a range of topics central to these critical approaches and cinema, including: flesh as a disruptive state formed in the relationships of intimacy and anxiety; time and the formation of cinema’s enduring objects; space and things; the sensual, the "real" and the unconscious; wildness, disruption, and resistance; and the nightmare, reading "phantasy" across the critical fields.

Along with Husserl and Freud, other key thinkers discussed include Edith Stein, Roman Ingarden, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Mikel Dufrenne in phenomenology; Melanie Klein, Ernest Jones, Julia Kristeva, and Rosine Lefort in psychoanalysis. Framing these issues and critical approaches is the question: how might Husserlian phenomenology and Freudian/Lacanian psychoanalysis, so often seen as contradistinctive, be explored through their potential commonalities rather than differences? In addressing such a question, this book postulates a new approach to film through this phenomenological/psychoanalytic reconceptualization. A wide range of films are examined not simply as exemplars, but to test the idea that cinema itself can be a version of critical thinking.
Dance-Punk
Authors: Wodtke Larissa
Published: January 2023

Beginning in the late 1970s as an offshoot of disco and punk, dance-punk is difficult to define. Also sometimes referred to as disco-punk and funk-punk, it skirts, overlaps, and blurs into other genres including post-punk, post-disco, new wave, mutant disco, and synthpop.

This book explores the historical and cultural conditions of the genre as it appeared in the late 1970s and early 1980s and then again in the early 2000s, and illuminates what is at stake in delineating dance-punk as a genre. Looking at bands such as Gang of Four, ESG, Public Image Ltd., LCD Soundsystem, The Rapture, and Le Tigre, this book examines the tensions between and blurring of the rhetoric and emotion in dance music and the cynical and ironic intellectualizing associated with post-punk.
Sounding Conflict
Authors: Magowan Fiona , Norman Julie M. , Phillips-Hutton Ariana , Lehner Stefanie , Rebelo Pedro
Published: January 2023

Sound, music and storytelling are important tools of resistance, resilience and reconciliation in creative practice from protracted conflict to post-conflict contexts. When they are used in a socially engaged participatory capacity, they can create counter-narratives to conflict. Based on original research in three continents, this book advances an interdisciplinary, comparative approach to exploring the role of sonic and creative practices in addressing the effects of conflict. Each case study illustrates how participatory arts genres are variously employed by musicians, arts facilitators, theatre practitioners, community activists and other stakeholders as a means of ‘strategic creativity’ to transform trauma and promote empowerment. This research further highlights the complex dynamics of delivering and managing creativity among those who have experienced violence, as they seek opportunities to generate alternative arenas for engagement, healing and transformation.
Processing noncanonical sentences: effects of context on online processing and (mis)interpretation
Authors: Bader Markus , Meng Michael

Prior research has shown that sentences with noncanonical argument order (e.g., patient-before- agent instead of agent-before-patient order) are associated with additional online processing difficulty, but that this difficulty can be alleviated if the discourse context licenses noncanonical order. Other studies demonstrated that noncanonical sentences are prone to misinterpretation effects: comprehenders sometimes seem to form interpretations with incorrect assignments of semantic roles to argument NPs. However, those studies tested noncanonical sentences in isolation. To further clarify the source of misinterpretation effects, we designed three experiments that investigated how discourse properties licensing noncanonical order affect online processing and final interpretation. All experiments tested unambiguous active declarative sentences in German with agentive verbs and two arguments, probing both online processing difficulty (using selfpaced reading) and accuracy of interpretation (using wh-comprehension questions). Besides word order (subject-before-object, SO vs. object-before-subject, OS), we varied the context preceding the target sentence (neutral context vs. context licensing OS, Experiment 1), the type of NP serving as object (definite vs. demonstrative NP, Experiment 2) and the type of question probing comprehension (two-argument vs. one-argument wh-questions, Experiment 3). Consistent with earlier findings, we observed that discourse properties licensing OS order facilitated online processing in early sentence regions. However, they did barely affect accuracy on comprehension questions, with accuracy instead being a function of word order and question type. Our results support models that explain misinterpretation effects in terms of task-specific retrieval processes. A retrieval mechanism capturing the effects of question type is proposed.

El linfoma folicular de tiroides es una entidad rara que representa menos del 2% de los linfomas extranodales y cuyo principal factor de riesgo es la tiroiditis de Hashimoto. Suele afectar con mayor predisposición a pacientes adultos mayores, en los que con frecuencia se presenta como una masa de crecimiento rápido con compromiso de las estructuras adyacentes en el cuello. Sin embargo, dada su rara incidencia, esta patología debe ser sospechada por elclínico para un diagnóstico temprano oportuno. Aunque en la actualidad no existen guías de manejo estandarizadas para esta entidad, acostumbra tener buena respuesta a radioterapia y quimioterapia. El presente caso describe la historia de un paciente con una recaída de linfoma no Hodgkin de tipo folicular de alto grado localizado en tiroides que se presentó a urgencias con disfonía, parálisis bilateral de cuerdas vocales, cambio en el tono de la voz y disfagia, con el antecedente de un linfoma folicular de alto grado en localización retroperitoneal y en remisión luego de 8 ciclos de quimioterapia con rituximab, ciclofosfamida, doxorubicina, vincristina y prednisona, el cual presentó citorreducción luego del tratamiento con quimioterapia con el protocolo de rituximab, dexametasona, citarabina y cisplatino.

Wilayah laut Indonesia memiliki makna yang sangat penting  dalam pembangunan nasional, dengan konfigurasi wilayah dua pertiga wilayah lautan dan sepertiga daratan. Sehingga laut dengan segala aspek kehidupannya memegang peranan penting dalam pembangunan nasional. Konsep Indonesia sebagai poros maritim dunia yang ditopang 5 pilar kebijakan utama berupa integritas wilayah yurisdiksi; menjaga pertahanan dan keamanan; memastikan keselamatan; pengelolaan sumber daya secara bertanggung jawab; serta memproyeksikan kepentingan nasional dengan menerapkan Good Goverment disetiap aspek dan institusi terkait dalam pembangunan sektor maritim di Indonesia, dihadapkan dengan keamanan nasional. Oleh karena itu peneliti melihat korelasi pembangunan maritim dalam mendukung poros maritim dunia dengan latar belakang sejarah dan kdisi geografi yang dimiliki bangsa Indonesia, beberapa perairan diwilayah Indonesia sebagian besar masih merupakan wilayah pertahanan maritim berupa area medan ranjau di wilayah perairan dengan potensi bahaya ranjau ex perang dunia II. Adapun tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui pelaksanaan jaminan keamanan dan keselamatan pengembangan pembangunan maritim dari bahaya ranjau laut ex perang dunia II dan implementasi tindakan perlawanan ranjau yang dilaksanakan dalam mendukung pembangunan maritim di Indonesia
School dropouts in the Philippines: causes, changes and statistics

School dropout is a major problem as it has negative impacts that result in high social costs. A learner can be called a dropout when the learner fails to enroll in school despite having reached the mandatory school age. This paper aims to identify the root causes of school dropouts in the Philippines, specifically in all regions for the years 2008 and 2013. The secondary data on the proportion of population 6 to 24 years old who are not attending school from the website of the Philippine Statistics Authority were used. The data were analyzed using R version 4.2.1. This paper employed descriptive statistics, namely frequency and percentage to identify the root causes of dropping out in the Philippines when grouped according to region and year. Percentage change (increase and decrease) were explored to track changes in the causes of school dropouts. The findings indicated that the high cost of education, and student employment or when the student is seeking employment were the root causes of dropouts in the Philippines for the years 2008 and 2013, respectively. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the Philippine government, through the Department of Education, should prioritize programs that will address the root causes of the school dropouts with the goal of decreasing the dropout rate in general.

Abstract. Shear properties of mantle minerals are vital for interpreting seismic shear wave speeds and therefore inferring the composition and dynamics of a planetary interior. Shear wave speed and elastic tensor components, from which the shear modulus can be computed, are usually measured in the laboratory mimicking the Earth's (or a planet's) internal pressure and temperature conditions. A functional form that relates the shear modulus to pressure (and temperature) is fitted to the measurements and used to interpolate within and extrapolate beyond the range covered by the data. Assuming a functional form provides prior information, and the constraints on the predicted shear modulus and its uncertainties might depend largely on the assumed prior rather than the data. In the present study, we propose a data-driven approach in which we train a neural network to learn the relationship between the pressure, temperature and shear modulus from the experimental data without prescribing a functional form a priori. We present an application to MgO, but the same approach works for any other mineral if there are sufficient data to train a neural network. At low pressures, the shear modulus of MgO is well-constrained by the data. However, our results show that different experimental results are inconsistent even at room temperature, seen as multiple peaks and diverging trends in probability density functions predicted by the network. Furthermore, although an explicit finite-strain equation mostly agrees with the likelihood predicted by the neural network, there are regions where it diverges from the range given by the networks. In those regions, it is the prior assumption of the form of the equation that provides constraints on the shear modulus regardless of how the Earth behaves (or data behave). In situations where realistic uncertainties are not reported, one can become overconfident when interpreting seismic models based on those defined equations of state. In contrast, the trained neural network provides a reasonable approximation to experimental data and quantifies the uncertainty from experimental errors, interpolation uncertainty, data sparsity and inconsistencies from different experiments.
