Authors: Perez Ryan Clifford L.
Published: September 2023

The advancement of finance and technology in what is commonly referred to as Fintech has introduced an opportunity for many business models in the new normal which provides ease of conducting money-related transactions amongst consumers, retailers, suppliers, and society as a whole. One of the most commonly used FinTech is the electronic wallets (e-wallets); a cashless electronic payment system. E-wallets provide the user the services and access to accomplish financial transactions and digital payments quickly that only require the application of smartphones and Internet connectivity. However, there are many perceptions about the application of e-wallets, particularly in e-money-related transactions such as in school enrolment, and would still prefer the use of money in physical form. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the perceptions among the students from Marinduque State College that contributes to the use of e-wallet as the mode of payment for school enrolment and transactions through the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) using Perceived Ease of Use (PEU), Perceived Usefulness (PU) Perceived Convenience (PC), Willingness (W) and Behavioral Intention (BI) as the main variables. To reach the objective, a sample size of at least 267 respondents was identified. The questionnaires were sent to 600 students to accommodate possible non-response which are students from the Institute of Information Systems and Technology (IIST) Marinduque State College, and a quantitative approach was applied to examine and test the hypothesis. The study finding shows that Perceived Usefulness (PU) and Willingness (W) have a positive significant effect on the Behavioral Intention (BI) to use an e-wallet as the mode of payment. In contrast, Perceived Convenience (PC) and Perceived Ease of Use (PEU) have no positive significant effect on the Behavioral Intention (BI) to use an e-wallet.

Misi masih disalahartikan hanya dengan penginjilan dan menjadikannya orang Kristen. Misi holistik merupakan misi yang tidak terbatas pada kesaksian, penginjilan  pribadi, melainkan misi yang mencakup  seluruh ajaran Yesus, seperti memberi makan  orang yang kelaparan, menolong orang yang sakit, menghibur yang sengsara dan duka, menderita, tidak berpengharapan, yang tidak percaya, serta bersikap sangat kritis terhadap pemerintah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menjelaskan misi holistic yang bersifat alkitabiah. Metode penulisan yang digunakan adalah kepustakaan (library research) dengan pendekatan analisis deskriptif. Penemuan dari penulisannya adalah dalam teologi misi holistik yang alkitabiah menunjukkan bahwa Tuhan memakai segala hal untuk dijadikan alat atau sarana guna Injil. Misi merupakan “hati Tuhan” bahkan disebut sebagai “jantungnya Tuhan” sehingga misi itu harus holistk dan alkitabiah.

This writing explains the frequent misunderstanding that many evangelical figures who still like to call themselves Fundamentals, are unable to distinguish between the Evangelical and Fundamentalist movements to seem to be the same as the Fundamentalistic. Evangelical movements are different from fundamentalist movements. These evangelicals have emerged since the early 20th century as a reaction to the rejection of Modern/Liberal Theology. Fundamentalism is a movement that emphasizes the preservation of the truth of doctrine and beliefs that are considered fundamental to religion. Fundamentalists believe that religious teachings should be preserved in their original form and should not undergo adaptation or reinterpretation. They tend to be skeptical of social and cultural changes that are considered contrary to their religious beliefs and principles. Fundamentalism is often identified with a rigid attitude and rejection of modernist approaches in theology and religious life. In this article, the author uses the qualitative method of literary research as a reference in describing the problems studied. The outcome of the authors would show that the Evangelical is not the same as the fundamentalist so the equation caused by the lack of understanding of the Evangelistic can be explained.
 
Tulisan ini untuk menjelaskan akan kesalahpahaman yang sering terjadi dimana banyak tokoh Evangelikal masih suka menyebut dirinya sendiri Fundamentalis, mereka tidak bisa membedakan antara gerakan Evangelikal dan Fundamentalis sehingga seolah-olah gerakan Evangelikal sama dengan Fundamentalis. Padahal gerakan Evangelikal berbeda dengan Fundamentalis. Kaum Evangelical ini muncul sejak awal abad ke-20 sebagai reaksi penolakan terhadap Teologi Modern/Liberal. Sedangkan Fundamentalisme adalah gerakan yang menekankan pemeliharaan kebenaran doktrin dan keyakinan yang dianggap mendasar (fundamental) bagi agama. Para fundamentalis percaya bahwa ajaran-ajaran agama harus dijaga dalam bentuk aslinya dan tidak boleh mengalami penyesuaian atau reinterpretasi. Mereka cenderung bersikap skeptis terhadap perubahan sosial dan budaya yang dianggap bertentangan dengan keyakinan dan prinsip-prinsip agama mereka. Fundamentalisme sering kali diidentifikasi dengan sikap yang kaku dan penolakan terhadap pendekatan modernis dalam teologi dan kehidupan beragama. Dalam artikel ini,  penulis memakai metode kualitatif yaitu penelitian literatur  sebagai  acuan dalam  mendeskripsikan masalah yang  dikaji. Hasil akhir penulis akan menunjukkan bahwa Evangelikal tidak sama dengan fundamentalis sehingga penyamaan yang disebabkan oleh kurang mengertinya tentang Evangelikal bisa dijelaskan.

Introduction: Hydrocephalus is frequently seen in children with posterior fossa tumors (PFT), and endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) prior to tumor resection can improve surgical conditions by treating the hydrocephalus. Moreover, a scoring system predicting the success of ETV could aid in decision-making for this procedure.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of ETV in the treatment of hydrocephalus related to PFT and to evaluate the accuracy of the ETV success score in predicting ETV success.

Methods: Patients under 18 years of age who underwent ETV before PFT resection between 1996 and 2021 were included in a retrospective study. The ETV success score was retrospectively obtained for all patients, and its predictive capacity was compared to the actual success observed.

Results: Of the 59 surgical cases, a global success rate of 62.7% was observed in the first 6 months following ETV. This rate dropped to 50.8% for those patients reassessed one year after surgery. There was no correlation between the success rate and the histological grade of the tumor or the age of the patient. The ETV success score presented acceptable accuracy at both time points (AUC = 0.671 at 6 months, AUC = 0.649 at one year).

Conclusion: ETV proved be a safe procedure, capable of treating hydrocephalus in patients with PFT, and the ETV success score is useful for indicating probable success of the endoscopic procedure.

Authors: Dassi Natália , De Aguiar Carolina Silva , Dastoli Patricia , Silva Nasjla S , Cavalheiro Sergio , Cappellano Andrea M
Published: September 2023

Introduction/Background: Central nervous system (CNS) tumors in infants are rare, ranging between 1 and 10% of all pediatric CNS tumors. The infratentorial location is a challenge to neuro-oncologist and -surgeons due their subtle clinical presentation, different histopathological types, biological behaviors, and anesthetic-surgery difficulties.

Methods: Single center retrospective study of infants diagnosed with posterior fossa tumors between 2010 and 2023.

Results: Nineteen patients were included. Mean age 8.8 months; eight males. The most common presenting symptom was torticollis (n-6, 31.6%), followed by vomiting (n-3, 15.8%) and increased head circumference (n-3, 15.8%). Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor (AT/RT) was the most common subtype (n-11, 57.9%), followed by Medulloblastoma (MB). Metastatic disease at diagnosis was evident in five cases. Seventeen patients initially underwent correction of hydrocephalus. Regarding surgical resection, one (5.3%) patient underwent biopsy, 13 (68.4%) complete resection, four (21%) partial resection. Only one patient, diagnosed with ependymoma, did not receive chemotherapy after surgery, 14/19 received high-dose chemotherapy, eight of these followed by autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT). Focal radiotherapy (RT) was performed in four patients with AT/RT and in one ependymoma, following ABMT and complete resection, respectively. Event-free survival at 2 and 5 years was 64.9% and overall survival 63.2% and 54.2% respectively.

Conclusion: Despite aggressive histological subtypes, neurosurgical challenges, and limitation of adjuvant therapy, we have shown acceptable survival rates in this challenging group of patients showing the importance of appropriate supportive care, improvement in surgical techniques and a multi-professional approach.

Estudio de los roles de género en español moderno desde la perspectiva de género
Authors: Qiu Manqing
Published: September 2023

Las investigaciones anteriores sobre materiales didácticos de enseñanza del español como lengua extranjera (ELE) para sinohablantes suelen ignorar los aspectos de género. El presente estudio se concentra en analizar los roles de género de la colección Español Moderno con el objetivo de averiguar si dicho manual cuenta o no con la perspectiva de género. Este trabajo estudia las identidades y relaciones/cualidades para aclarar la vía de estudio. Valiéndose de los 105 textos coleccionados y el análisis de contenido, constatamos que la colección Español Moderno apenas obtiene la perspectiva de género. La desigualdad se fundamenta de acuerdo con los siguientes aspectos: (1) la escasez cuantitativa de los roles de las mujeres; (2) la ignorancia y el desprecio hacia la identidad profesional y familiar de las mujeres; (3) la estigmatización sobre la cualidad personal de las mujeres por medio de las palabras. Concluimos que los roles de las mujeres son discriminados, estereotipados y subordinados. Es indispensable formar a los profesorados y estudiantados del área de ELE con perspectiva de género a que capten y quiten de forma eficaz el androcentrismo del didacticismo y del aprendizaje. Así, se construirá un ambiente del lenguaje inclusivo que mejorará la incorporación de igualdad a la sociedad actual.

Published: September 2023

Background: It was estimated that 36.7 million people lived with HIV globally, and approximately half were on antiretroviral therapy. In both resourced and resource-limited settings, retention in care and rates of viral suppression are lower in adolescents and young adults when compared with older adults or younger children. In Rwanda, among adolescents and young adults (those aged 13-24 years), the prevalence of HIV varied geographically, ranging from 2.2% in the North to 4.3% in the City of Kigali. The aim of this study was to assess the factors associated with viral load suppression among HIV positive adolescents and young adults at Muhima District Hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional study with quantitative approach was conducted on 361 selected sample using systematic sampling techniques, data were collected using interviewer-administered questionnaires and processed and analyzed using SPSS Version 21, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to determine the factor associated with viral load suppression among HIV positive adolescents and young adults at Muhima district hospital, significant of statistical association will be tested using 95% confidence interval and p-value (<0.05). Results: Among 361 respondents, Female were 68.1%; 82.3% were single and 85.6% were aged from 20-30. The results indicated that 62% of respondents took the ARV as prescribed (good adherence) to ART; 98.1% observed positive health benefits from using ARV drugs, however 16.1% failed to take prescribed ARVs because of hiding from friends their HIV status and 15% due to forgetfulness. Non-suppressed viral load was found from 29% of respondents. Adolescence period (15-20) (AOR=1.14 95%CI: 1.008 - 2.442), Having no formal education (AOR=2.71, 95%CI: 1.211-3.061, P=0.002) primary education (AOR = 1.84, 95%CI: 1.154-2.074, P=0.019), failure to attend clinic schedule (AOR=3.29, 95%CI: 1.009 - 4.120, P=0.022), alcohol consumption (AOR=4.09, 95%CI: 2.03 - 6.302, P=0.026), comorbid condition (TB) (AOR = 2.08 , 95%CI: 1.042 - 3.981, P=0.029) increased the odds to non-suppressed viral load. Conclusion: The viral load suppression is quite lower than the county’s viral load suppression. Interventions targeting adherence support, stigma reduction, and peer support should be implemented to improve viral load suppression among HIV-positive adolescents and young adults.

Background Unplanned pregnancies continue to be a major public health problem particularly in low-income countries. Their increase the risk of unsafe abortion, maternal morbidity, and mortality. Contraceptive methods play a crucial role in reducing unplanned pregnancies by providing individuals with the means to prevent or delay pregnancy. The recent Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey RDHS (2020) revealed a higher unmet need for family planning among adolescents and young adults compared adults’ women. This study aimed to provide valuable insights into the current status of contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and practices among young women attending selected health centers in Gasabo district. Methods A cross-sectional study design was employed and quantitative approach was used to collect data from adolescent and young women aged 15 to 24 years who sought routine services at 16 health centers in Gasabo District. The sample size was determined using the Cochran formula, resulting in a sample of 384 participants selected using stratified sampling method. Data were cleaned analyzed using SPSS version 21. Results The results showed that 81.4% of the participants have good knowledge regarding contraceptive methods, while 18.6% have poor knowledge. The respondents generally held a positive attitude towards contraceptive methods (79.4%), Morever, 76.3% exhibit good practice towards the use of contraceptive methods. The Logistic regression showed that young women 20-24 years (AOR = 3.436, 95% CI = 1.007-6.733, p = 0.022), Having more than one child (AOR = 2.461, 95% CI = 1.054-7.246, p = 0.024), coming from higher ubudehe Category (AOR = 1.427, 95% CI = 1.071-3.561, p = 0.035) and receiving more income (AOR = 1.616, 95% CI = 1.025-3.671, p = 0.028) increase the odds of contraceptive methods use. However, being unemployed (AOR = 0.447, 95% CI = 0.09-0.921, p = 0.03) was negatively associated with contraceptive methods use. Conclusion This study highlights the importance of contraceptive methods in reducing unplanned pregnancies. The findings indicate a good level of knowledge, positive attitudes, and satisfactory practices among young women in Gasabo District. However, targeted interventions addressing factors such as age, parity, socioeconomic status, and employment are needed to further promote contraceptive use and minimize unplanned pregnancies.

Authors: OTITOJU Moradeyo Adebanjo , FIDELIS Emeka Solomon , OTENE Eunice Ojimaojo , ANIGORO David Oghenenyerovwo
Published: September 2023

Climate-Smart Agriculture Technologies (CSATs) have emerged as innovative solutions that seek to revolutionize traditional agricultural practices by leveraging enabled sensors and automation and using data analytics to boost yields, reduce costs, and increase profitability. With Nigeria’s largely agrarian rural population, the adoption of CSATs has the ability to transform the country’s agricultural sector significantly. The implementation of CSATs in rural Nigerian communities can enhance the productivity and sustainability of smallholder farmers, particularly in the face of climate change-induced challenges. By utilizing advanced techniques and technologies, farmers can optimize production while minimizing negative impacts on the environment. Furthermore, the integration of digital platforms would enable smallholder farmers to access critical market information, which could lead to better prices for their products. This paper provides a comprehensive review of works that have been done on the potential application and adoption of CSATs in rural Nigeria. The study highlights the importance of creating an enabling environment that incentivizes farmers to adopt these technologies.
Contemporary Kenyan Contexts and Adult Character types in Select Children’s Literature.
Authors: Namukuru Milcah , Musungu Dr. Joseph , Orina Felix
Published: September 2023

This present article focuses on the relationship between contemporary Kenyan Context and Adult Character types present in select Kenyan children’s literary texts. The texts include; “Uncle Sese and The Sunday School Project” by Kabaji, and “Naomi and Cindy” and “Naomi in her New School” by Muleka. The study aims at identifying different contexts that give rise to the various adult character types present in the texts. The study shows that there is a close link between the contexts the writers have painted in their works and the characters in those works. This indicates that perhaps there is as much realism in children’s literature as there is in most adult fiction. Character and characterization being an aspect of technique, the theory of formalism serves as the main analytical tool. The study is descriptive in the manner it delineates contexts and character types. The paper helps to bring out not only the serious nature of children’s literature but also adds to the appreciation of the aesthetic value of children’s literature.

Authors: Ghunaimi Hisham Al , Mamari Dr. Saleh Al , Abri Dr. Salem Al
Published: September 2023

The primary purpose of a librarian is typically overseeing daily operations in a library. Moreover, librarians tend to provide different research and information services to different scholars. In this technologically changing era, the role of librarians has also evolved from an armchair librarianship into technological based librarianship, where the roles are more defined and regulated. In such case for the betterment of the academics, they should provide additional forms of services that include authorizing and authenticating different relevant books, documents, manuscripts and other related sources. This study contributes to the literature by providing an understanding of the new role of public librarians as notary officers. Specifically, the study identifies the new responsibilities that librarians in public libraries can carry out to keep abreast with the changing needs of the society. Therefore, considering the significance of the librarians it is necessary to redesign the job description and job specification of the librarians. Henceforth in order to get a clear understanding about the redesigned job role and job specification this specific study can be quite beneficial. Thus, this study highlights the importance of the need of redesigning the job role and how it can be beneficial for other academicians.

Fiscal Imbalances, Economic Growth and Macroeconomic Stability in Nigeria.
Authors: Esu Godwin Essang
Published: September 2023

The study was undertaken to assess the interaction between fiscal imbalances, economic growth and macroeconomic stability in Nigeria, with emphasis on its impact on output growth, economic stability as well as its joint effect on the two frontline dependent variables – economic growth and macroeconomic stability. Amongst other techniques of analysis, the Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) was deployed for its features as one of the very unique cointegration techniques with special properties to take care of data-related issues, outliers and other encumbrances in the course of analysis. Employing data from secondary sources [CBN – Statistical Bulletin and World Bank’s World Development Indicators, all various years] to proximate and test fiscal imbalance, economic growth, macroeconomic stability and other controls, analyses were carried out, results obtained and findings, amongst others, was that fiscal imbalances in the Nigerian economy would stifle economic growth and deter macroeconomic stability. Factors like increasing debt volume, current account imbalances, high consumption expenditures, low total revenue, jumping inflation rate and exchange rate and very low productivity were seen as fuelling the outcome. The study recommended that tackling adequate adjustments in those macroeconomic indicators, which will close fiscal imbalance gaps as much as possible, may reverse the outcome, ceteris paribus.

Celles-ci incluent, entre autres, les conceptions et représentations de l’abandon, les façons dont la famille, la communauté et l’état abandonnent êtres, objets, et lieux, ainsi que les processus de pouvoir et de différentiation sociale qui rendent l’abandon possible, normalisé, et parfois nécessaire, voire un moteur, aux systèmes économiques et de gouvernance contemporains.

Work stress is a common phenomenon that has multi-dimensional impacts on employee’s private and professional life. It affects employees’ familial, social and other types of relationships. In pandemic situations like Covid-19, work stress is rising to an alarming level. This study aims to determine how stressors such as workload, workplace social support and change in the mode of service during covid-19 contribute to job stress and the relationship between job stress and employee family relationships such as marital, parent-child and sibling relationships. This research was carried out at Dhaka International University and WBB Trust in Dhaka, Bangladesh among 90 respondents. The study was based on a quantitative approach using a survey questionnaire as an instrument and utilized a random sampling method to obtain data. Results show a substantial correlation between work stress and employee marital connection (r=0.753), parent-child relationship (r=0.778), and sibling relationship (r=0.845), according to downhill linear associations. Regression analysis reveals that work stress is significantly correlated to the above employee family relationships with p-value 0.000 (p=0.000<0.05) respectively at 0.05 level of confidence. Recommendations such as further investigation among the government employees, rationalization of work schedules by employers, online and offline stress mitigation programs and real-time online and offline work role and family role awareness sessions were suggested based on the findings. To obtain a more exact response, it is also suggested to undertake additional research using a bigger sample size, a wider scope, and more components.

Published: September 2023

This study investigates the share of inbound tourism expenditure to exports in the Philippines from 2000 to 2022, drawing upon comprehensive secondary data from the Philippine Tourism Satellite Account of the Department of Tourism. The research employs linear regression analysis to analyze the dynamics of this vital economic indicator. The findings reveal a complex interplay of factors influencing the share, with fluctuations over the years and a notable decline in 2020 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. While the linear regression analysis does not identify a statistically significant linear trend, the high R Square value underscores the significance of time in explaining variations in the share. This study underscores the importance of monitoring and adapting to the evolving tourism landscape as the Philippines strives for economic recovery and long-term growth in a post-pandemic world
Analysis on the Tourism Direct Gross Value Added and Share to Gross Domestic Productof the Philippines
Authors: Cheyserr C. Lelis
Published: September 2023

This study employs a data-driven research methodology to investigate the evolving proportion of domestic tourism expenditure in relation to household final consumption expenditures in the Philippines over the period from 2000 to 2022. Leveraging secondary data from the trusted Philippine Tourism Satellite Account, managed by the Department of Tourism, this research provides a comprehensive analysis that spans both pre-pandemic and pandemic periods, offering insights into trends, fluctuations, and the influence of significant events on the interaction between these variables. The focal point centers on the dynamic relationship between share of domestic tourism expenditure to household final consumption expenditure and time, scrutinized through the lens of linear regression analysis, renowned for its ability to unveil linear trends over time. The years from 2010 to 2019 exhibited substantial growth, reflecting a growing preference for domestic travel, potentially influenced by government initiatives, infrastructure improvements, and rising incomes. However, the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted the industry in 2020, highlighting its susceptibility to external shocks. While some recovery has occurred in subsequent years, figures remain below pre-pandemic levels, posing challenges for the sector's revival. The regression analysis indicates a gradual annual increase in the growth rate, but only about 26.2% of this variability can be attributed to the linear relationship with time, emphasizing the influence of other factors. Policymakers and stakeholders must consider these dynamics to foster domestic tourism growth in the Philippines, particularly in the post-pandemic era
Trend Analysis on Share of Tourism Gross Fixed Capital Formation to Total Gross Fixed Capital Formation
Authors: Cheyserr C. Lelis
Published: September 2023

This study analyzed the share of tourism gross fixed capital formation to total gross fixed capital formation using data from the Philippine Tourism Satellite Account of the Department of Tourism for the period 2012-2022. Data were analyzed using linear regression analysis. The study found that TGFCF initially rose during the mid-2010s but declined in later years, notably dropping in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic's impact on tourism. However, the graph alone can't explain these fluctuations definitively. The regression analysis showed a negative correlation between the year and TGFCF share but found the year variable to be statistically insignificant. This suggests that year alone is not a strong predictor of TGFCF changes, indicating other unaccounted factors influence tourism capital formation. Future research should consider additional variables like government policies, tourism trends, and economic conditions to gain a more comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon.
