ABSTRACT - In this modern era, technology is developing rapidly in various aspects of life, where technology that is already known for its effectiveness has also begun to be widely used both from the education sector, government, and in the trade sector. Endo Tani shop is a type of trading business that sells various types of agricultural fertilizers, which is located at Jl. Parakan - Trajaya Blok Rabu RT/RW 004/005 Parakan Leuwimunding Village. As for the problems that exist at the Endo Tani Store, the data processing of incoming goods and outgoing goods is still using a manual system, namely by writing in books or on paper that has been provided, the data search process becomes constrained and inefficient because they have to search first in the document. This is of course less effective and efficient, considering that paper bags can be damaged or lost, which allows inventory data to be lost. Therefore, there is a need for a solution to these problems, namely designing a computerized inventory system. In the process of collecting data with the aim of solving problems, the authors use primary data sources, namely (Observation and Interview). The software methodology used for development is the prototype method, this inventory system is built using the PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) programming language and the data is stored in a MySQL database. The final result obtained in this study is an inventory application that is expected to help and facilitate shop owners in processing goods data, searching for goods, and being able to produce the information and reports needed quickly, precisely, and accurately.
In-vitro antibacterial activity of Annona senegalensis root and stem extracts against Salmonella typhimurium, Shigella flexneri and Escherichia coli
Authors: D Yandev , J Ngbede , IO Ogbonna , CT Orhii
Published: June 2022

The aim of the preset study was to determine the efficacy of Annona Senegalensis stem and root extracts against Salmonella typhimurium Shigella flexneri and Escherichia coli through the evaluation of bacterial sensitivity and determination of the minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentration of the extracts against the test isolates. Plant materials were collected and duly authenticated. The methanoic and aqueous extracts prepared from the powdered forms were tested on the bacterial after cultural and biochemical identification of the isolates. The antibiotic sensitivity test was carried out using the Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method while chloramphenicol was used as the standard control. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the plant extracts were determined by broth dilution method while the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) was determined by a method described using standard protocols. The ratio of MBC:MIC was computed to determine the bactericidal or bacteriostatic effects of the extracts. Data were analyzed using the Minitab 16 statistical package. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard error) and analysis of variance tools were applied while mean separation was done Fischer’s method at 5% level of significance. Antibacterial sensitivity test showed that the control test (Chloramphenicol) had significantly higher antibacterial sensitivity ( P<0.05) than any of the plant extract. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the plant extract ranged from 6.25 mg/ml to 25.0 mg/ml. The lowest MIC of 6.25mg/ml was observed in Salmonella typhimurium among all extract types. Root and stem had similar effects on the test organisms (P>0.05) but, methanoic root extract had the lowest MBC of 6.25mg/ml against S.typhimurium and S. flexneri. Based on the MBC/MIC ratio, all extract types had bactericidal effects on Salmonella typhimurium and Shigella flexneri except aqueous root extract that showed bacteriostatic effect. Only the methanoic root and stem extracts exhibited bactericidal effects on Escherichia coli. Annona Senegalensis root and stem could possibly be explored commercially as an antibacterial agent against species of Salmonella, Shigellia and Escherichia.

Determining the seasonal alterations in the essential nutritional constituents of Channa striatus fish will be important to estimate their nutritive value with different seasons so as to plan the most beneficial consumption time period, commercial processing and storage for future. In the present work, it was evaluated that the seasonal variations in nutritional value of Channa striatus including total carbohydrate, protein and lipid content with respect to three season’s i.e winter, pre-monsoon and post monsoon from Halali Reservoir in the Raisen district, of Madhya Pradesh. Nutritional components like carbohydrate, protein and lipids are severely influenced with the change in season and water quality parameters. Total carbohydrate, protein and lipid were estimated by phenol-sulphuric acid method, Follin’s-Lowry method and Folch et al. method respectively. The nutritional analysis showed that the nutritional value of Channa striatus in the winter sample (January to February) was maximum as compared to post monsoon (October to November) and pre-monsoon (Juneto July) sample. So, it is suggested that the consumption of Channa striatus fish of Halali reservoir in the winter season must be increased for obtaining maximum nutritional benefits

Contextualizing Relations Between Presumptions and Legal Fictions: An Analysis of the Chinese Civil Code
Authors: Wen Du
Published: June 2022

This research aims to achieve two goals: first and foremost, clarify the similarities and dissimilarities among statutory (legal) presumptions, judicial (factual) presumptions and legal fictions. The second is to provide a set of theoretical tools that can correctly distinguish two types of presumptions from legal fictions, so as to facilitate the accurate identification and application of those three by Chinese judges in their judicial practice. This study mainly adopts two research methods: legal theory analysis and law article analysis. The research results of this paper mainly are: first, compared with legal fictions, two types of statutory presumptions are more or less refutable. Their differences are as follows: on the one hand, the scope of refutation is different; on the other hand, the difficulty of refutation is different, too. Second, litigators are forbidden to refute the conclusive part of an applied legal fiction, but they can disprove its premise fact. By nature, that refutation is “a challenge against the lawfulness of that legal fiction’s usage”. Third, for related ultimate facts, the using of statutory presumptions will not lead to their reversed burden of persuasion. Fourth, when the principle of presumptive fault is applied, as for the issue of whether the defendant has subjective fault or not, the related burden of persuasion will be reversed to be assumed by the defendant. By comparison, in the usage of statutory presumptions, there will be no inversion of burden of persuasion. Fifth, direct denials, indirect denials and defenses can be used to rebut premise facts of the legal fiction, basic facts of two types of statutory presumptions, and presumptive facts of the refutable statutory presumptions. Sixth, when direct denials and indirect denials are launched, the evidence is the disproving evidence (Gegenbeweis). When the defenses are raised, the evidence is the proving evidence (Hauptbeweis). Seventh, the successful effect of discrediting basic facts of refutable statutory presumption: the using of that presumption lacks legitimacy, so the corresponding presumptive facts are untenable, too. Eighth, the successful effect of contradicting the presumptive facts of the refutable statutory presumption: while those presumptive facts are proved groundless, the related basic facts will be considered as confirmed continually. And finally, the successful effect of disproving basic facts of irrefutable statutory presumption: because it has been proved that the using of that presumption is lack of lawfulness, the related presumptive facts can not be sustained, either. By making use of those aforesaid study results, 28 statutory presumptions and 30 legal fictions are identified in the Civil Code of China.

Discovering Gender Bias in Indian IT Industry
Authors: Surya, S Raja , , I Sivakumar
Published: June 2022

The rise of the information technology sector in India has opened the doors of employment for many Indian women. Undoubtedly, these rapid technological developments in this industry have a massive impact on the way the information technology sector performs its work, thus giving rise to many employment issues. Indian women, who were mostly found in traditional jobs, are now actively participating in the information technology sector. Most of the time, this electrically transferable work has forced many millennial women to start their work even before the sun rises, which is invigorating their family life. Even though the official work hours may vary from 8–9 hours, the time taken to reach a work destination can act as a constraint for individuals working in this sector. The immediate consequences of work-life complexities blur the boundaries between work and family life, and this will have a significant impact on the physical and psychological health of these millennial female employees in the long run.

Talent training in Colleges and universities is a process of the unity of education and talent cultivation. To build a high-level talent training system, we must consider the ideological and political work system, pay attention to the construction of Ideological and Political Theories Teaching in All Courses(IPTTAC), and solve the problem of "two skins" of professional education and ideological and political education[1]. In the teaching process of data structure course, Teachers practice IPTTAC and explore a series of methods of IPTTAC. Breaking the boundaries of disciplines, carrying out benign interaction, engineering culture and IPTTAC going hand in hand, engineering ethics education, socialist core values and Chinese traditional culture should be applied to IPTTAC.Paying attention to teachers' ethics and style, teaching by words and deeds, it will prompt IPTTAC. In teaching, we should start from the professional curriculum itself, explore the content related to ideology and politics, extend and expand the curriculum content, and enrich the charm of the curriculum itself.
Destabiliserande mjölkflöden
Authors: Zethson Michell
Published: June 2022

This essay focuses on processes wherein human bodyfluids are materialized as foody and potentially edible. Influenced by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, I follow a milky rhizome (2015). This brings me to, among other things, breastmilk rings in China, breastmilk ice cream and to cows whose genes have been manipulated to produce breast milk. Scholars within critical animal studies pinpoint that animals are made absent when their bodies are transformed into edible matter. Carol J. Adams terms this the structure of the absent referent (2004, 2013). In this article however, I show that, in a similar way, the foodiness of human bodies is continuously made absent. Situations when humans appear as foody tend to generate feelings of disgust and repulsion. At the same time, I also argue that processes such as these can be interpreted in widely different ways depending on the (body and) context, and that the milky flows are considered most threatening when they are connected with – or emanate from – the bodies of Others.
Kompetent aktör eller psykiskt skör?
Authors: Callegari Julia , Levander Ulrika
Published: June 2022

Mental health problems among children and youth is positioned as one of the most urgent public health issues in Sweden today. Both research and official reports assert that mental health issues have increased among adolescents, especially girls, during the last decades. The aim of this study is to investigate how changes in childhood and gender discourses have implicated the construction of young people’s mental health as a public problem since the early 1990s up until today. The empirical material consists of documents published by state authorities between 1990 and 1998, and between 2006 and 2017. The results show that the construction of mental health issues among children and youth is characterized by an ideological and gendered shift, promoting different ideals of childhood. In early 1990s, young people’s poor mental health was understood as a result of social inequality, most common among working-class boys with behavioral problems. Today, it is framed as an introvert phenomenon most common among girls, who are depicted as having trouble handling stress and performance-related pressure. In this shift, the child (read boy) is initially framed as a “child of society” in need of support, to later on being defined as a “competent child” (read girl) who has the responsibility to create a good life for herself. In this way, the construction of mental health among children and youth reflects how gender orders are reformulated in the individualized era, where young girls who do not embody neoliberal ideals of independency, flexibility, and female empowerment are framed as mentally fragile and in crisis. Furthermore, the construction shows how current ideas about the child as a competent actor has central implications for today’s understanding of young people’s mental health.
En kolonial elits sista strid
Authors: Douglas Christina
Published: June 2022

The Baltic Germans constituted a colonial elite within the Baltic provinces of the Russian Empire, but at the turn of the 20th century their elite position was increasingly challenged. A major part of the Baltic German bourgeoisie in Riga spent their summers at Rigaschen Strand, a string of bathing resorts just outside the city. The spatial and social boundaries that constituted Rigaschen Strand as place also became challenged, pushing the Baltic Germans into a defensive position. Preserving the custom of bathing in the nude with its inherent strict gender separation became a symbolic issue among the Baltic German bourgeoisie who in the intersection between class and ethnicity strove to safeguard their elite position against other ethnic groups and social classes. In these conflicts and boundary-drawing processes regarding the place of Rigaschen Strand, the Baltic Germans’ colonial self-perception becomes evident. At the same time, the struggle was clearly enacted in the arena of gender relations and formulated with gender-infused arguments.
Neutralitet och muslimska kvinnors slöja
Authors: Jakku Nina
Published: June 2022

This article takes the ruling of the European Court of Justice concerning the so-called neutral clothing policy, within private companies, as a starting point. The ruling facilitates prohibition of visible religious, philosophical and political signs. The resulting neutrality policies are studied from the point of view of their consequences, both concrete and emotional ones, as well as how they are perceived and experienced among Muslim women in Sweden. One of the concrete consequences appeared in an employment process at Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), which is discussed together with subsequent media representation that questioned practices of active citizenship among Muslim women in Sweden. Furthermore, I study how the resistance against the ruling was articulated in different arenas in Sweden. These issues are analyzed in the light of a normative secularity and how such an understanding impacts on exclusion of Muslim women in Sweden and hinders their possibility of belonging and partaking in social matters on equal terms.
#Metoo. Motståndsberättelser om sexuella trakasserier i(nifrån) socialt arbete i Sverige
Authors: Jangland Sanna , Thorén Lagerlöf Louise , Livholts Mona
Published: June 2022

#MeToo has become a global digital feminist resistance movement where sexual harassment and sexualized violence have been made visible in different situations and occupations. In Sweden the hashtag #orosanmälan (English: #ReportingWorries) was created in 2018 for social workers. Very few studies have been conducted on sexual harassment in social work, a gap that this study aims to fill. The aim is to make visible, analyze and critically reflect on resistance stories about sexual harassment from within social work in Sweden. The study applies an analytical framework of gender and heteronormativity, age and racialization, emphasizing Butler’s key analytical concepts performativity, heteronormativity and subversion. The method is a narrative analysis of “small stories” (Georgakopoulou 2015) based on the first one hundred entries on the Swedish website #orosanmälan for social workers (https://www. metoo-orosanmalan.nu). The analysis shows how sexual harassment occurs in contexts of unequal power relations constituted through performative acts of speech against women social workers, students and girls who are clients, and focuses on pregnant, young, racialized, and lesbian bodies. Findings demonstrate how both men and women as leaders and colleagues participate in sexual harassment to devaluate women’s competence, and how threats of punishment are used to subordinate and objectify women social workers. #ReportingWorries challenges the discourse of Sweden as a country of equality and the core values of social work as a discipline and profession based on human rights, social justice, respect, and dignity when sexual harassment is investigated from within social work.
Abort – vems rättighet?
Authors: Feshari Nadia , Karlsson Caroline
Published: June 2022

This article interrogates how the concept of fetal “personhood” is employed in the political debate on abortion in Swedish politics. By examining the arguments for and against changes in Swedish abortion policy, we critically engage with some of the problems that the Swedish abortion legislation is faced with, from a feminist perspective. The article illustrates how assumptions of fetal “personhood” are central to arguments that challenge the current Swedish abortion policy, whilst the defense of this policy rests on recognition of the subjectivity and agency of women seeking abortion. We argue that, in order to address new challenges to the legislation, there is a greater need to question assumptions about “fetal life.” Thus, our article builds on and contributes to previous research that emphasize the importance of feminist engagement with fetal representations in order to defend and uphold women’s bodily and reproductive rights.
”Varför vi är där vi är idag”
Authors: Fahlgren Margaretha , Rubertsson Christine , Williams Anna
Published: June 2022

This article explores if conversations about literary texts that thematize abortion can provide new knowledge about the clinical everyday practice of midwives. The empirical material consists of conversations with seven clinical midwives after shared reading of a sample of fictional and biographical Swedish texts from the 1930s, 1950s, 1990s, and 2010s. Drawing on theories of power relations, gendered knowledge, and narrative medicine, the article investigates the relationship between the texts and the midwives’ professional experiences. The study demonstrates that the participants agreed on the positive effects of reading and discussing literary texts related to their professional work. The study cannot establish that it has provided new knowledge about the midwives’ clinical practice; it concludes, however, that the shared reading and conversations generated an exchange about experiences of abortion care that subsequently could deepen knowledge about treatment and practice within the profession. The study demonstrates that the reading experience generated discussions about the clinical practice that otherwise would never have taken place, for the participants asserted that the conversations had given time for reflection about medical, social, and emotional issues that did not occur in clinic. The texts brought specific professional experiences to the fore and offered new perspectives on norms, practices, and the professional role. One distinct impression conveyed by the participants was that shame is still a salient feeling among the patients, signaling that abortion is still a sensitive subject. The article concludes that similar elements of reading and discussing literary texts could prove an important part of (continuous) training for professional midwives.
Fotbollsflickors känsla för genus. Meningsskapande om jämställdhet genom sportmediers genusrepresentationer
Authors: Ringfjord Britt-Marie
Published: June 2022

Studies on how people use media is a recurring theme in several research areas, not least in terms of the variety of media habits that describe how we relate to others and ourselves in a complex society. Several studies about media genres and audience preferences show how the stories people tell also hold them together within social relations. This article starts from a micro-social perspective to investigate a specific community, namely a group of seven football-playing teenaged girls, and their thoughts about gender, power relations, and sports media. The material consists of two focus group discussions about gender, sports media content, and female footballers, which are analyzed through the concepts of participation, passion, and frustration. The aim is to discuss gender equality in a Swedish context in order to widen the understanding of identity processes. The article also draws on a study from 2006 on female footballers and media gender representations. Concepts from media and gender studies inform the theoretical perspective on gender and media reception. The article uses an understanding of the concept habitus, based on how storytelling embedded in cultural contexts reveals ideology, myths, and gendered power structures. The female identity (habitus) is a situated position from which women narrate, form, and express the self. The results of this study clearly indicate how female identities not only situate relational gender structures, but also potentially involve claims for gender equality and citizenship. The female footballers use the process of narrating the self in complex ways in their everyday life, oscillating back and forth between feelings of participation, passion, and frustration.
”När var strejken?” Minnet av Algotssömmerskornas kamp, Västerbotten 1972–1986
Authors: Overud Johanna
Published: June 2022

This article focuses on the seamstresses at Algots in their struggle for their jobs at Algots Nord textile industries in rural localizations in the Swedish north (West Bothnia) in 1972. The textile company Algots Nord (a subsidiary to Algot Johansson AB) had factories in Skellefteå, Norsjö, and Lycksele. This localization implied labor market participation among women who had not previously held paid employment. After just a few years, bankruptcy was announced, and all three northern factories had to close. The downturn, followed by protests and demonstrations, were at center of societal debates. A solidarity movement comprising loosely organized individual and collective initiatives was formed. The purpose of this article is to study the writing of the history of the seamstresses at Algots and show its symbolic position in relation to the women’s movement. I want to make visible local stories about experiences of power and set them against the collective memory of the feminist movement. I show how the seamstresses at Algots become a symbol for many solidarity groups. How did the seamstresses become a concept for the women’s movement? Is it possible to talk about a unified “we,” a struggle on equal terms, in the case of the seamstresses at Algots? Are there challenging notions and conflicting stories? How can one explain a group’s collective memory of one or more events that have helped to shape and define history? An important point here is how groups can form a symbolic content that has a function to retain the group’s collective memory.
Nedläggningen av BB Sollefteå. Känslor, rumslighet och motstånd
Authors: Larsson Emma
Published: June 2022

This study explores expressions of emotions, space, and resistance in narratives of the closure of BB Sollefteå, a maternity ward that used to be located in a sparsely populated Swedish municipality. The closure took place in a context of healthcare restructuring and centralization politics, causing basic services to close down in rural municipalities and regions. Interviews with eight pregnant women were conducted between March 2017 and June 2018 and the interviews were subjected to narrative analysis. Theoretically, the study leans on a feminist and relational approach to emotions, space, and gender, and specific attention is paid to women’s emotional positioning in relation to spatial objects such as the longer distance to the hospital, the town of Sollefteå, the regional assembly, etcetera. Three narratives are repeated in the interviews with pregnant women: a narrative about the longer distance to the closest maternity ward; a narrative about the experience of peripherality; and a narrative about resistance. The results reveal how women’s positioning in relation to specific objects made certain emotions stick to both the women and the objects in ways that were determined by place and space. Feeling ignored by decision-makers in the region, women performed acts of microresistance, including avoiding giving birth in the region’s biggest town and renegotiating the narrative of the town of Sollefteå.
”Vi gör det på vårat sätt”. Pride på *bygd, av-urbanisering och de-centrering av hbtq-frågor
Authors: Olovsdotter Lööv Anna
Published: June 2022

Research on Pride festivals highlight the ambivalent meanings of Pride today. While debates about Pride have illuminated a variety of important issues they tend to be located in urban contexts and the effects of urban normativity is absent in these debates. This article explores LGBTQ activism in a rural setting in Sweden with a point of departure in ethnographic material from a fieldwork conducted at a Pride festival organized in 2015. In the material Pride was situated at the crossroads of metropolitan conceptualizations of Pride and specific conditions relating to rural spaces. This intersection presented Pride organizers with different challenges that they reflected and acted upon when organizing a festival. Organizers described local expectations of their festival resembling Stockholm Pride, and emphasized the difficulty of designing their festival with Stockholm Pride as both model and antitype, pointing out the different conditions facing urban and rural Pride festivals. Wanting to counter the urban image and take local conditions and what was needed in the region as a point of departure they expressed how they wanted to do the festival their “own way.” This article takes this notion of “doing it our own way” as a starting point. Doing it their own way meant de-urbanizing Pride by localizing and familiarizing the festival. The rural Pride festival represented a “paradoxical space” (Rose 1993) where LGBTQ activism and Pride were de/ constructed and re-worked. When adapting Pride to the everyday realities of rural life the festival became a space focusing on different subjects relevant to the region and a space in which metropolitan conceptualizations of LGBTQ struggles and Pride were challenged. By de-urbanizing Pride the festival became less normatively urban, but also less LGBTQ centered.
Tell Me More: Parent–Child Sexual Talk and Young Adult Sexual Communication Satisfaction with Romantic Partners
Authors: Wilson Kelsi N , Jensen Jakob , Ballard Sharon , Taylor Alan
Published: June 2022

Young adults (18–30) tend to show insufficient levels of communication about sex with their romantic partners, despite its many benefits to relationships among this age group. Learned sexual shame and guilt can play a role in inhibiting sexual communication with partners, and early messages about sex from parents stemming from narrow cultural boundaries of communication may play a role in fostering sexual shame and guilt from a young age, potentially influencing later sexual communication patterns with partners. We sought to identify whether a significant relationship existed between the sexual communication participants received from parents while growing up and their current sexual communication satisfaction, relational satisfaction, and sexual satisfaction with romantic partners. Path analysis revealed a significant, positive link between parent–child sexual communication and current partner sexual communication satisfaction while controlling for all other variables and length of relationship. ANOVA analyses revealed greater reported sex guilt among males and highly religious participants. Correlation and regression analyses yielded significant, positive relationships between former parent–child communication quality and current young adult sexual satisfaction with partner. Clinical implications and research directions are discussed for increasing open parent–child sex communication.
Relationship Talk With Partners and Friends During Emerging Adulthood: The Role of Relationship Satisfaction

Research indicates that discussing one’s romantic relationship with one’s partner benefits individual well-being and reduces uncertainty about the future of the relationship. Implications of relationship talk with friends remain less clear, though talking with friends may actually increase uncertainty about the relationship (e.g., by making one’s partner jealous of these friends), particularly for emerging adults. Relationship talk with friends may be especially likely to promote relational uncertainty for couples who are already unsatisfied in their relationships. In this study, we explored whether relationship talk with one’s partner and one’s friends would each be uniquely associated with depressive symptoms and uncertainty about the relationship, specifically in the form of perceived partner jealousy of one’s friends and whether these associations would be moderated by relationship satisfaction. Results from a series of path models using data from 202 romantically involved emerging adults in the United States revealed that associations between relationship talk and outcomes were indeed moderated by relationship satisfaction. For example, only in unsatisfied relationships was relationship talk with friends positively associated with a partner's jealousy and negatively associated with depressive symptoms. This research expands our understanding of relationship talk by differentiating between talk with partners versus friends, while considering the contextual role of relationship satisfaction.

The incidence of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) in the Arab world, particularly, oil and gas rich Gulf Cooperative Council (GCC) countries has more than doubled in the last twenty years. Therefore, there is a dire need for careful systematic familial cohort studies, especially in high-risk populations. Several immunogenetic factors affect the pathogenesis of the disease. Genes in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) account for the major genetic susceptibility to the disease. Triggering agents initiate disease onset by the destruction of pancreatic β-cells. The autoantibod-ies against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA), insulinoma antigen-2 (IA-2A), insulin (IAA), and zinc transporter-8 (ZnT-8A) comprise the most reliable biomarkers for T1D in both children and adults. Although three of the GCC countries, namely Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar are among the top 10 countries with the high incidence rates of T1D, no proper prediction tools are applied in the region. Understanding the disease sequelae in a homogenous gene pool with high consanguinity in the GCC could help solve some of the challenges in understanding pathogenesis, as well as hasten the prevention of T1D. Arab states must incorporate T1D predictive and intervention policies on a war- 26 footing basis to minimize the burden of this serious disease.

Published: June 2022

Si algo bueno dejó la pandemia, es saber que los docentes pueden ser creativos e innovadores, cosa que se creía perdido en el perfil de salida de la carrera de profesionalización; pero no solo eso, sino también saber que son investigadores y que se adaptan a los cambios; en definitiva, el COVID 19 saco lo mejor de los docentes los cuales tuvieron que capacitarse y actualizarse de acuerdo con las necesidades y exigencias del contexto educativo remoto. Con estos antecedentes se planteó reflexionar sobre cómo se desarrollará la educación en la post pandemia, tomando en cuenta lo sucedido a nivel educativo desde marzo del 2020 hasta la actualidad desde una visión integral como educador en el contexto latinoamericano.

This study assesses the level of awareness, knowledge, attitude, and practices of Grade 6 pupils in terms of the solid waste management of a public elementary school in Laguna, Philippines. Using a descriptive research design, the data has been collected from the responses in the survey questionnaire distributed to the selected respondents and analysed using descriptive statistics. Findings reveals low level of pupils’ awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and practices on the solid waste management. Findings also reveals that while the school has already introduced solid waste management to the pupils, they still need to have a systematic and well-defined goals and practices to highlight the importance of managing waste. Based on informal interviews with the head teachers and school leaders, the researcher has been able to confirm that the school does not have any formally drafted guidelines and policies about the school’s solid waste management program. Thus, the study recommends specific ways to enhance the school-based solid waste management program of public elementary schools in the Philippines.
