Validation of a Customized Local Traffic Simulator (LocalSim)
Authors: Eden Mel Francis , Taguiam Jebus Edrei , Palmiano Hilario Sean
Published: November 2022

Traffic management offices in the Philippines commonly rely on experimentation or the trialand-error implementation of traffic management schemes to solve the growing traffic problem. This method is unreliable, time-consuming, costly, and inconvenient to road users who are often not aware of the sudden changes in traffic rules, regulations, and road configuration. One possible way to test the effectiveness of proposed traffic schemes is by implementing them in silico or by computer simulation. There are traffic simulation software programs available in the market, but they are either too expensive for massive use of the different local government units (LGUs) and/or too general such that they are unable to replicate some features of Filipino driving behavior. It is under this backdrop how LocalSim was conceptualized: A traffic simulation software customized to the needs of the different LGUs with driving models designed to capture Filipino driving behavior. This study presents the model validation performed, which proves that LocalSim can generate simulation results that are acceptable representations of the real-world scenario. The study area is the EDSA–Quezon Ave Intersection where the in situ or on-site traffic behavior was measured using the selected measure of performance (MOP) and evaluated with Theil’s indicator.

Published: November 2022

Rabies is a viral disease transmitted to humans through the bite of a rabid animal, commonly from dogs. In Davao City, Philippines, many of the dog bite victims are children below 15 yr old. To educate the city’s vulnerable age group on rabies, the City Veterinarian’s Office (CVO) conducted a school-based information and education campaign (IEC). In this paper, we assess the knowledge gain on rabies of the student participants aging 6–19 yr old after participating in the CVO’s school-based IEC program by comparing their pre-test, post-test, and retention test scores. We also identified socio-demographic drivers that are related to the student participant’s rabies knowledge scores. Observations coming from 367 student participants were analyzed. Our results show that 294 student participants scored higher in the post-test than in the pre-test, but 213 student participants scored lower in the retention test than in the post-test. Nevertheless, 264 student participants still had a higher retention test score than the pre-test score. Furthermore, the student participant’s age and whether he or she received a human rabies vaccination, the head of the household’s gender, educational attainment, and monthly income, and the CVO’s IEC lecture are significantly associated with the knowledge score to rabies. Even though CVO’s school-based IEC lecture is positively associated with rabies knowledge, this paper recommends that rabies education be integrated into classroom instructions to ensure knowledge retention among student participants. Furthermore, developing age-specific IEC media for students and IEC reinforcement through text messaging are recommended as well.

Segmental Features of English as Spoken by the Ilokanos
Authors: Fernandez Mark Lawrence , Lino Marlina
Published: November 2022

This paper documented the segmental features of English as spoken by the Ilokanos. It specifically characterized the vowel and consonant sounds evident in the English spoken by the Ilokanos in Regions I, II, and the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR). Moreover, the participants were purposively limited to those who have been born and raised in their local provinces, who are using Ilokano as their first language, and who have been schooled in their respective regions.Using frequency counts, averages, and percentages, the study described the distinctive segmental features of English as spoken by the Ilokanos. Chi-square was used to establish significant differences in terms of region, age group, and language domain.Additionally, the study identified distinctive features as well as variation patterns by using Tayao’s (2004) 80% mathematical scheme.Overall results show complex patterns of variation on how the Ilokanos produce the segmental features of English. In terms of the study variables, significant differences are established in terms of age group and language domain. Geographical consideration does not indicate much of a difference as Ilokanos share a common phonological system. With the issue of variation as clearly revealed in the findings, more quantitative documentation across geographical, socio-cultural, and linguistic backgrounds should be conducted to come up with more stable results than what the present study has established. By doing this, the Ilokanos can contribute to the growing studies and documentation of Philippine English phonology as well as in constructing their own phonological framework.

Published: November 2022

Tobacco and corn cultivation are both vital into the whole world due to its importance in the industry. This narrative study was conducted to describe the lived experiences of tobacco and corn farmers. The researchers formulated an aide-mémoire that was used to gather information or data. Through interviews with 10 farmers, the cool and warm analyses of the extended texts revealed the two foci of experiences: farmers' perspectives or views on farming and their difficulties in farming. Their views are dubbed as 3F’s: farming in a better perspective, farming as a sustainable livelihood, and farming as challenging. The difficulties are sustaining financial stability, crop infestation and combating climate change. These difficulties characterize the title ‘Magtanim ay ‘di biro’ which is translated as ‘Farming is not a joke’. With the findings of the study, it is clear that tobacco and corn farming post challenges or difficulties; however, farmers remain optimistic and resilient as they continue farming. As such, future studies should look into ways of helping the farmers in their pursuit for a better tomorrow.

EFFECT OF AGE AND PARITY ON PREGNANT WOMEN'S KNOWLEDGE ABOUT DISCOMFORT OF THE THIRD TRIMESTER
Authors: Maryati Sri , Yanti Damai
Published: November 2022

Introduction. Pregnancy is a physiological process that almost always takes place in every woman. However, there are some mothers who experience discomfort. Knowledge can be influenced by a person's characteristics including age and parity. Increasing a person's age can affect the increase in knowledge gained. Likewise, mothers who have several children generally have better knowledge because they have had hands-on experience in previous pregnancies. The incidence of discomfort in the third trimester at Clinic A was 56 cases. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of age and parity on knowledge of pregnant women about discomfort of the third trimester at Kilink "A" Banjaran in 2022. Method. This research is an analytic study with a cross sectional approach. The sample in this study were 85 pregnant women in the third trimester. Data analysis used multivariate analysis with linear regression, namely to test jointly the effect of the dependent variable, namely age and parity with the independent variable, namely knowledge. Result & Analysis. The results showed that the age variable has a correlation value of 0.363 while the parity variable has a correlation value of 0.041, meaning that the age factor is the most influential factor on knowledge. This can be related to the theory that the older a person is, the experience will increase and affect knowledge. this can happen because in this study most of the mothers were aged 25-35 years. Discussion. The age of 20-35 years is a mature age and has sufficient knowledge and experience both in terms of maturity in thinking and mentally to live a household.
Gudina Tumsa’s Contributions to Theology
Authors: Jodock Darrell
Published: November 2022

Gudina’s way of doing theology is important because it is both contextual and universal.  The dynamics are universal, the focus on relationality is universal, the holistic emphasis is universal, while at the same time these dynamics intentionally take seriously the here and now of particular individuals and particular peoples and engage their specific social settings so seriously that the end result turns out to be deeply contextual--but contextual in a way that does not set one part of the church against another.  There can still be a common witness to the centrality of the power and presence of Christ and the ongoing activity of God in the world.    

The kind of theology Gudina practiced continues to be of great value for all who confess the Christian faith, today and on into the future.  We honor him best by appreciating and learning from his theology.
Gudina Tumsa and Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Authors: Decke Gerd
Published: November 2022

The situations in which Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Gudina Tumsa lived were basically very different from each other, but nevertheless similar because of the parallel challenge through a totalitarian dictatorship with a quasi-religious anti-Christian world view. In many basic theological decisions, both prove to be amazingly similar. Both have been equally gifted in initiating ideas and inspiring people during their lives and far beyond. Many of Gudina's statements have the evocative, associative, fascinating power of Bonhoeffer's sometimes fragmentary, but always provocative, deep and concise reflections. Both their legacies are certainly worthy of interpretation for each generation--the theology of Gudina Tumsa just as the theology of Bonhoeffer has been during the past decades.
Eleitora, talvez; eleita, jamais! Marcas do positivismo num discurso sufragista feminino
Authors: Brayner Cristian , Danielle Gruneich
Published: November 2022

Analisa o discurso de Adelina de Saint-Brisson, que se posiciona favorável ao voto e contrária à candidatura feminina na publicação O Imparcial. Buscou-se, por meio de análise histórica, ressaltar a influência do discurso positivista comtiano em seu discurso, e pode-se compreender como o feminino dialoga com as exigências normativas e assume significados culturais de emancipação ou repressão no campo dos direitos políticos. Conclui-se que o alheamento da mulher no processo eleitoral, longe de representar uma ameaça ao progresso, é condição sine qua non para o fortalecimento da então recém-proclamada República.

Mulheres e poder: cotas femininas para participação na política
Authors: Silva Christine , Aguiar Letícia
Published: November 2022

Versa sobre cotas femininas para participação na política, considerando a temática mulheres e poder, bem como as divergências sobre as condições de possibilidade das ações afirmativas, em prol do incremento da representatividade feminina nos cargos políticos. O trabalho, fruto de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, justifica-se tendo em vista o fato de que, desde a introdução do voto feminino, conquistado, no Brasil, em 1932, as cidadãs brasileiras, apesar de eleitoras, ainda não foram devidamente incluídas como eleitas, gerando como consequência uma sub-representação, que merece ser combatida por meio de ações afirmativas, pauta da agenda de uma urgente e necessária reforma eleitoral.

Authors: Kombui Babaaradio , Adom Dickson , Asamoah Samuel Prophask
Published: November 2022

Ghanaian modernist painting started with the establishment of Achimota school in 1927 where the artists learned to combine the traditional Ghanaian artforms with the European representation artistic techniques. Though the influences of this new movement went beyond the academically trained artists to affect the self-trained artists, very little is known about it. The main objective of this paper was to  conduct a biographical study of Nana Yaw Frimpong who without any art college training, booked a notable slot for himself through his painting within the modern Ghanaian art space. An Iconographic analysis of five paintings of Nana Yaw Frimpong using Erwin Panofsky’s three-step approach which include 1. the pre-iconographical description, 2. the iconographical analysis, and 3. the iconological interpretation. The selected paintings were compared to the philosophical underpinnings of the works of the earlier academically trained artists from the Achimota school. The findings revealed that the philosophy and style of Nana’s paintings were the philosophical foundations of modern painting in Ghana hence, placing Nana within the Ghanaian modern painting space.
Relief modelling using the Chiaroscuro technique: A project work among student-sculptors
Authors: Christian Ebenezer , Adom Dickson , Adu-Agyem Joe
Published: November 2022

Relief modelling is a very peculiar task that requires the creation of three-dimensional forms onto two dimensional surfaces to depict depth and volume in a composition. Preliminary research revealed that students in the Sculpture section in the Department of Painting and Sculpture in the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology faced the challenge of producing relief sculptural pieces to give them the three dimensionality that suggests volume and depth. This project work that utilized studio-based research approach rooted in the constructivism theory was aimed at experimenting on how to overcome the flaws in relief modelling using the chiaroscuro technique. Twelve (12) student-sculptors participated in this project using the stratified sampling technique. They were taken through practical sessions in modelling compositions of geometric forms, still-life, and human figures, with drawn or image references with the chiaroscuro technique as the focus. After the project, the student-sculptors were able to interpret the illusion of three-dimensionality in picture reference into the actuality of depth and volume during modelling, rendering compositions in its right planes or surfaces. The study recommends the application of the chiaroscuro technique in relief sculptural practices such as relief carving, repoussé, and other relief related sculptural practices.

Conflicts occur between people, institutions, tribes and nations and cold be resolved when language and dialogue are effectively used. Peace linguistics and traditional ways of conflict resolutions in Terver T. Udu’s Ikyav Saan Aga Saan and Sam Patrick Terngu’s Adezungwen examines the causes of conflicts, explores the language of hate speech and states traditional ways of resolving conflicts in the select texts. This study adopts Coleman’s (2006) Human Relations Paradigm (HRP) for conflict resolution. The model emphasises the prominent roles that human social interactions play in resolving conflicts. The model uses mediation, integrative negotiation and constructive controversy as parameters for conflict resolution. Methodologically, this study used purposive sampling technique. The choice of the two select texts was deliberate hence the texts are laced with conflicts and how they were amicably resolved using traditional methods. The study used primary and documentary sources. The primary sources are Udu’s Ikyav Saan Aga Saan and Terngu’s Adezungwen while the documentary sources are journal articles, theses, glossary and textbooks. As data analysis, the select texts were read, data relating to causes, language of hate speech and resolution of conflicts were grouped and translated into English and then analysed. It was revealed that domestic conflicts could be resolved using human relation mechanism and nonviolent communication. This study has presented Tiv culture where the voices of the elders are respected and their decisions were unanimously accepted. Finally, peace repairs broken relationships and enhances progress. Traditional rulers should apply the solutions proffered by Terver Udu and Sam Paddy Terngu in their fictional texts to resolve conflicts in their domains.
Elements and principles of design in scenic design in Ghana’s Most Beautiful Reality TV Show: An aesthetic evaluation
Authors: Brako Daniel Kofi , Gilbert Sennah Johnson
Published: November 2022

Scenic design or set design are expressions used interchangeably to mean the creation of scenery backgrounds for theatre, film and television. Scenic design in theatre, film and television are practically similar in approach and shares the same qualities. The major difference is the spaces in which the scenic designs are constructed and mounted in theatre, film and TV for performance. Spaces in theatre includes the proscenium, thrust, arena, found or created spaces. In contrast, spaces in film includes location or studio whereas spaces in tv comprises of studio. Therefore, to create the scenery, in theatre the scenic designer has to consider the sightlines of the audience whilst the designer in film and TV must consider what camera’s lens sees. This study examined the elements and principles of design in scenic design in TV3, Ghana’s Most Beautiful reality show 2017, and assessed the aesthetics of the elements and principles of design in scenic design in TV3 Ghana’s Most Beautiful reality show 2017. Qualitative research approach was employed for this study using descriptive and interpretive methods. Purposive and snowball sampling techniques were used in selecting the show based on its unique design concept and the participants. Data collected employed observation and interviews. The show was observed and pictures collected which elicited the data. Also, five (5) member audience who watched the show throughout to the final stage were interviewed. Data were analysed using visual and thematic analysis. The paper argues that a good combination of appropriate elements and principles of design in scenic design gives meaning and add some form of believability to the show. Findings revealed that appropriate combination of elements and principles of design inculcated in the scenic design defined the mood, themes and established the locale of the show. This attracted some audience members and made it enjoyable to watch.

Artistic expressions with the use of costumes in selected Ghanaian video films: The freedom and responsibilities of the costumier as an artist
Authors: Dennis Albert
Published: November 2022

The increase in advertisements for newly produced films in Ghana is a testament that the Ghanaian film industry has become one of the fastest growing businesses in the country. Contemporary film producers or directors have continued the tradition of their forebears in the use of various traditional visual elements of communication, particularly the use of costumes. Costumes are powerful visual elements employed in film productions for effective characterization and to offer vital narrative cues to viewers. While acknowledging that costumiers have the freedom to express themselves in constructing costumes, both for utilitarian and aesthetic purposes, it is equally important for such artistic expressions to be accompanied by some responsibilities to social norms. Employing a qualitative approach and relying on purposive sampling to sample two Ghanaian video films, this study relied on content analysis to explore how costumes have been used in films. Anchored on the theory of representation, the study contributes to the ongoing debate on the ways in which costumes are used in video film productions. The findings revealed that some costumiers in the third historical phase of film making in Ghana have not articulated their artistic freedoms and equal responsibilities associated with costuming films. This calls for regular in-service training and workshops for costumiers.

Published: November 2022

Background: Public participation is of crucial importance in immunization programs. Therefore, we aimed to study the determinants of participation in immunization against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) before the distribution of the vaccines in Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in February 2021 with interviews and online components. The questionnaire comprised socio-demographic information, past medical history, perceived susceptibility to COVID-19 infection, and the tendency to participate in vaccination against COVID-19. Results: Of 2071 participants, 1020 (49.2%) were men, and 1803 (87.1%) were determined to participate in the COVID-19 vaccination program. Among participants, 87.1% (1803) stated that they were determined to participate in the immunization program against COVID-19. In addition, in this group, 52.1% believed vaccination could reduce mortality, and 48.8% thought the vaccine could decrease transmissibility. There was a significant association between positive attitudes toward vaccination against COVID-19 and the respondents’ socio-economic status (SES), educational levels, reporting non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in themselves or their first-degree families, perceived susceptibility toward getting COVID-19 infection in the following months in themselves or close family members and being a healthcare worker. Most respondents were determined to participate in the COVID-19 vaccination because they believed vaccination would be effective in preventing mortality and decreasing COVID-19 transmission. Conclusions: SES, educational level, positive history of NCDs, perceived susceptibility toward getting COVID-19 infection, and being a healthcare worker had a significant positive association with the respondents’ intention to participate in the COVID-19 vaccination program.

Estudos em Direito Ambiental - Desenvolvimento, desastres e regulação
Authors: Simões Nunes Matheus
Published: November 2022

As sociedades tem despertado para a necessidade de mudanças para um paradigma ecológico que valoriza comportamentos e ações mais sustentáveis. Para tanto, se tem como arcabouço jurídico dessas ações, a criação de normas jurídicas que, em conjunto, visam a proteção do meio ambiente. Essas diretrizes norteiam e delimitam as ações antrópicas ao meio ambiente, buscando manter a relação do ser humano-natureza mais sustentável. Nessa perspectiva, o Brasil tem diversos instrumentos jurídicos locais, estaduais e federais. Entretanto, ainda temos lacunas e vieses quanto a aplicabilidade dessas normas que impede que avancemos para uma sociedade ambientalmente mais justa, equilibrada e alinhada com os interesses de desenvolvimento social. Nessa obra, trazemos discussões sobre algumas dessas leis e de como o direito ambiental é fundamental para conseguirmos metas e diretrizes afins ao desenvolvimento socioambiental e à proteção ambiental.

A educação ambiental surge como uma proposta estratégica para propor informações e alternativas concretas que minimizem os problemas ambientais à toda a comunidade, principalmente no âmbito educacional. Este estudo, teve o objetivo enfatizar a importância do reaproveitamento da água após utilização em atividades domésticas, dando ênfase as questões: identificação do nível de conhecimento e importância do reaproveitamento da água pelos alunos; conhecimento dos discentes acerca de métodos adotados para reutilização da água; participação dos mesmos em eventos com abordagem sobre o tema em questão e práticas de reuso adotadas no cotidiano. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida no segundo semestre de 2017, com 54 alunos pertencentes a duas turmas do 1º ano do ensino médio, em uma escola da rede pública estadual localizada em Petrolina-PE. Foram aplicados questionários contendo 07 perguntas objetivas, abordando o tema em questão. Os dados foram analisados de forma quantitativa e descritiva em relação ao objetivo da pesquisa realizada. Para análise dos dados foi realizada a contagem de todas as alternativas marcadas pelos discentes e calculada a porcentagem referente a cada uma destas alternativas. Acerca do tema abordado os alunos sabem do uso e da importância da reutilização da água, e quais as maneiras para que esse processo de captação ocorra, no entanto, há necessidade que o tema seja trabalhado numa perspectiva mais crítica, reflexiva e com mais frequência, dentre as várias demandas educativas.

O reuso de água desponta como uma das contribuições para minimizar a escassez de água. Compreender a situação dos recursos hídricos, o que é o reuso e como estão as políticas públicas relacionadas ao tema, com o auxílio da literatura científica, é um passo importante para a promoção de mudanças no que se refere ao atual cenário. Com a revisão de literatura, feita a partir de bases de dados, como a Comunidade Acadêmica Federada (CAFe), contendo informações de 2016 a 2021, chegou-se a um conjunto de periódicos e artigos científicos que constituíram a base referencial para a construção deste texto. Das informações coletadas, depreendeu-se que o reuso de água ainda carece de ações tais como ampliação nas pesquisas cientificas, desenvolvimento de tecnologias, construção de políticas públicas que efetivamente contribuam para o equacionamento e solução das questões hídricas, com ênfase na escassez e, por fim, popularização do acesso para que se torne uma alternativa viável.

Os conflitos socioambientais emanam da disputa pelo uso, exploração e apropriação da naturezapara o desenvolvimento das atividades humanas. O turismo, atividade promissora do mundo moderno têm se difundido reconfigurando territórios com significativas repercussões econômicas, ambientais e sociais. No Brasil, esta atividade se consolida a partir da diversidade fisionômica do litoral brasileiro, sobretudo, no Nordeste onde está a Praia de Porto de Galinhas, um importante balneário situado em Ipojuca município da mesorregião metropolitana de Recife - (PE). Reconhecida pelos atributos naturais, este território ganhou projeção no cenário nacional e internacional do turismo. Pelos impactos das práticas turísticas em diferentes espaços e, considerando o arcabouço legal, buscou-se no presente artigo analisar a efetividade da gestão de território turístico considerando a possibilidade de garantia da sustentabilidade e do direito ambiental. O estudo de natureza exploratória baseia-se em fontes bibliográfica e documental. Possibilitou revisitar a legislação vigente e seus desmembramentos na criação dos instrumentos de planejamento, controle e ordenamento de territórios turísticos. No transcurso de sua realização, constatou-se que a legislação brasileira não tem sido aplicada efetivamente de modo a contribuir com a gestão, ordenamento e sustentabilidade dos territórios turísticos em diferentes escalas espaciais. Em Porto de Galinhas, a gestão ambiental tem se tornado ineficiente, negligenciando o direito ao ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado. A gestão sustentável de território turístico requer, entre outros aspectos, a aplicação de uma sólida legislação, maior participação social na formulação das políticas públicas e estruturação técnica, financeira e gerencial das instâncias de gestão e controle ambiental.

O Brasil engloba um sistema de áreas naturais protegidas, conhecidas como Unidades de Conservação (UC’s). As UC’s possuem peculiaridades em suas características, tornando um desafio para os gestores na conservação de suas biodiversidades. Algumas dessas UC’s apresentam zona de amortecimento (ZA), área estabelecida em seu entorno, em que as atividades humanas de interação com os recursos ambientais ficam submetidas a normas e limitações específicas, objetivando minimizar impactos negativos nas áreas protegidas. Essas interações entre os diversos grupos humanos e os recursos naturais, resultaram em relações de relevância social, cultural e econômica para a sociedade e para melhor compreender essas relações, a Etnobiologia é a ciência que busca analisar a forma como povos e comunidades classificam, compreendem e se relacionam com o meio ambiente. Entre as áreas da Etnobiologia, a Etno-ornitologia, busca compreender as relações entre os seres humanos e as aves, incluindo aspectos do conhecimento ecológico local, assim como as práticas, simbolismo, significado e uso da avifauna pelas pessoas. Dessa forma, a pesquisa tem como objetivo geral, referenciar estudos de etno-ornitologia já realizados em regiões no entorno de UC’s presentes no Cerrado Brasileiro.do aquecimento global.

In order to define specific management criteria for populations in rural environments, it is necessary to deepen the knowledge of their form and building typologies. The experience collected in this text summarizes the work carried out by a group of students to build the morphotypological survey of Guimerá (province of Lleida). The exercise starts from a confluence of interests between the contents and the skills that are required to be trained within the Degree in Architecture and the needs of the Administration. Through active learning, the students used various instruments to analyze the construction of the town and the landscape, focused on drawing, through surveys at different scales, and the perceptive experience of walking, as an essential tool for knowing the place. As a result of this collective work, a morphotypological cartography was obtained in plan and section of Guimerá, which turned out to be an enriching experience for the students, and very useful for the municipality.

Para poder definir criterios de ordenación específicos para poblaciones en entornos rurales es necesario profundizar en el conocimiento de su forma y tipologías edificatorias. La experiencia que se recoge en este texto, resume el trabajo realizado por un grupo de estudiantes para construir el levantamiento morfotipológico de Guimerá (provincia de Lleida). El ejercicio parte de una confluencia de intereses entre los contenidos y las competencias que se requiere entrenar dentro del Grado de Arquitectura y las necesidades de la Administración. Mediante el aprendizaje activo, los/las estudiantes utilizaron diversos instrumentos para analizar la construcción del pueblo y del paisaje, centrados en el dibujo, mediante levantamientos a diferentes escalas, y la experiencia perceptiva del caminar, como herramienta imprescindible de conocimiento del lugar. Como resultado de este trabajo colectivo se obtuvo una cartografía morfotipológica en planta y sección de Guimerá, que resultó ser una experiencia enriquecedora para los/las estudiantes, y de gran utilidad para el municipio.
