Spiritual Culture and Sustainable Development in Rural India
Authors: Sharma Girendra
Published: September 2022

Abstract Spirituality is the essence of Indian culture in general and rural India in particular. India’s culture is mainly recognised as spiritual culture. Most of the elements of Indian culture are intangible by nature and has a spiritual dimension. In the 21st century, in the age of globalisation where western culture that is materialistic by nature is dominating, rural India is still carrying the rich tradition of spiritual culture that is close to the nature and goes in the line with sustainability of environment. This paper seeks to investigate how spiritual culture can show the way to sustainable development and also solve the problems emersed from environmental degradation. The paper is based on the review of related literatures, interviews with different stakeholders and personal observation of Indian rural life. It is revealed that many spiritual activities practices in India is close to the nature and promote sustainable development. However, the process of globalisation that emphasize materialism is getting prevalence in urban India. Rural India is still very much living with sustainability and spiritual culture. So, there is need to encourage spiritual culture that can be proved much beneficial for sustainable development. Key Words: Spiritual, rural, development, sustainability.

En México el IVA es el segundo impuesto recaudatorio más importante. La presente investigación propone algunos cambios en materia del  Impuesto al Valor agregado, el cual fue adoptado por nuestro país más de 20 años después de su surgimiento en el mundo, a través de la historia ha tenidos muchos cambios, así como  diferentes tasas a las que ha estado sujeto, la presente propuesta es con el fin de recabar más ingreso para la Federación, para así cubrir los diferentes rubros del gasto público indispensable por ejemplo para el rubro de salud, en materia de vacunación contra la COVID 19.  Es necesaria una revisión exhaustiva en materia de los bienes y servicios sujetos a una tasa cero del impuesto, así como, analizar el impacto en materia de devoluciones originadas, obtenidas  y solicitadas por los contribuyentes sujetos del tributo, ya que este procedimiento que en algunas ocasiones resulta muy largo y complicado para el contribuyente, también genera un costo elevado a la autoridad, quien tiene que verificar la autenticidad, correcta determinación y cumplimiento del saldo solicitado en devolución mediante la práctica de una auditoría. Se propone también aplicar un gravamen a la adquisición de bienes y servicios considerados de lujo, un sector que durante tiempos de pandemia ha experimentado un crecimiento exponencial y que dicha propuesta no genere perjuicio al poder adquisitivo de la clase trabajadora del país.
Rapid Screening of Pesticide Residues in Organic-labeled and Conventional Vegetables in Southern Luzon, Philippines and Its Implication on Food Safety
Authors: Manuben John Julius , Sarmiento Jasper , Bajet Cristina
Published: September 2022

Pesticide residues on vegetables pose a major concern with regard to food safety. The Rapid Bioassay for Pesticide Residues (RBPR) is a spectrophotometric method used to rapidly screen residues of acetylcholinesterase-inhibiting pesticides – namely, organophosphates (OP) and carbamates (CM) in vegetable samples. In this study, RBPR was utilized to detect pesticide residues in organic-labeled and conventional vegetables from various markets and stalls in selected areas in Southern Luzon, Philippines from January 2016–March 2018. Samples (n = 443) that resulted in > 20% inhibition in RBPR, the value considered as a permissible error, were considered positive for OP and/or CM residues. Results showed that 70 (15.8%) out of 443 samples were positive based on RBPR. Vegetable stalls from Laguna and Quezon, and Laguna public markets got the highest positivity of samples. Based on the farming method, 18.3% (n = 262) were positive in the conventional samples, as compared to 12.2% (n = 181) in the organic-labeled samples. Positivity rate was observed to be highest in bitter gourd, pechay, and tomato. A few samples (n = 6) were then analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) as a confirmatory test. One organic-labeled sample was found to have exceeded the existing MRL based on GC-MS analysis. Overall, the study showed the presence of pesticide residues in commonly consumed conventional and even organic-labeled vegetables in Southern Luzon. The positivity of many organic-labeled samples is of serious concern as it may indicate fraud or mislabel and non-compliance to principles of organic farming. This also highlights the critical need for extensive intervention strategies to limit the potential health risk to consumers. It is advised that pesticide residues be monitored on a regular basis and that farmers be educated about better pesticide safety procedures, particularly the importance of adhering to prescribed pre-harvest intervals (PHI).
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory of a University in the Philippines: the Case of UP Cebu
Authors: Cortes Aiza
Published: September 2022

Estimating the carbon emission of a university is a key step towards carbon neutrality in the education sector and in contributing to the national greenhouse gas emission (GHG) inventory. Following the guidelines of the Philippine Climate Change Commission (CCC), this study examined the university GHG profile using the University of the Philippines Cebu (UPC) as a case study. The main goals were to create a GHG inventory that could serve as a model for other educational institutions in the Philippines and evaluate mitigation strategies that could potentially reduce emissions. Total emission of UPC in 2018 was estimated to be 1,520.6 tCO2e, equivalent to 1.1 tCO2e/capita/yr. The highest contributor to the UPC emission was student mobility, which accounted for 47.2% (717.5 tCO2e) of the total. As the university progressed through the K-12 transition years and assuming a business-as-usual scenario, it was projected that GHG emission had increased by 9.1% (151.4 tCO2e) in 2019 and by 13.6% (238.3 tCO2e) in 2020. If UPC had mitigated its emission in 2018 such as reducing its purchased electricity consumption to 7.5% by shifting to solar energy, total emission could have been reduced by 1.8% or 27.4 tCO2e. If there had been 10% less travels such as by opting to videoconferencing, UPC could have reduced its emission by 0.3% or 5.2 tCO2e. Finally, if UPC had reduced 10% of its solid waste disposal to landfills such as by recycling, carbon emission would have been lessened by 0.3% or 4.7 tCO2e. Through this research, UPC is the first national university in the Philippines to measure its carbon emissions using CCC guidelines. An understanding of the university carbon footprint could significantly raise awareness among stakeholders of their roles and responsibilities in creating a sustainable campus. Moving forward, it is recommended that the inventory would be continued for the succeeding years.

Authors: Borromeo Maurice , Maligalig Dalisay
Published: September 2022

This paper presents the statistical processes that were undertaken in developing the sampling strategy for the research and development (R&D) survey that is periodically conducted by the Department of Science and Technology. Data from the R&D survey and the Annual Survey of Philippine Business and Industry are compiled to derive the country’s R&D indicators that are used for policy planning and monitoring and to update some of the indicators for Sustainable Development Goals target to enhance scientific research and upgrade the technological capabilities of the industrial sector. The study developed an efficient sampling strategy that will render good quality R&D data and indicators by addressing major issues such as fragmented sampling frames and ineligible population units that could lead to non-coverage errors, non-response, and appropriate techniques for deriving domain and important subclasses estimates and their corresponding standard errors. Results showed that despite the substantial non-coverage and non-response errors, the sampling errors are within acceptable range because an adjustment factor for compensating non-response and non-coverage errors was incorporated in the final survey weights. Improvements on the sampling strategy were also recommended based on the evaluation of the 2018 R&D survey round.
First Successful Transport and Short-term Rearing of the Endangered Sardinella tawilis (Herre, 1927) in Ex Situ Captivity
Authors: Camacho Ma. Vivian , Gonzales Jon Carlo , Sorgon Kent Elson
Published: September 2022

The Taal Lake endemic freshwater sardine Sardinella tawilis (Herre, 1927), an important fisheries species, has been recently placed in the Endangered category by the International Union for Conservation of Nature due to its high endemicity and population declines, coupled with potential threats from natural volcanic and geologic events. We examined the survivorship of S. tawilis in short-term ex situ captivity (~ 30 d) and determined water quality parameters that influence survival. Collection, transport, and ex situ captivity trials for a total of 333 S. tawilis individuals were conducted from February–May 2021. The survival rate ranged from 2.6–26.9% after 30 d across the four trials. Principal component analyses showed that salinity, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen (DO) influenced S. tawilis survival. Generalized linear mixed models revealed that the combination of conductivity and DO have a significant effect on survival. Manifestations of handling stress observed in captive individuals include scale loss, hemorrhaging at fin base, swelling of eyes, and possible fungal infections. This study documents the first attempt at rearing S. tawilis via ex situ captivity. The findings of this study will serve as a basis to improve the survival of S. tawilis in captivity and will open possibilities of captive breeding or larval rearing for this endemic freshwater sardine.

Published: September 2022

Lowland ecotype Cyperus rotundus L. has been reported to infest irrigated lowland ricefields in the Philippines. Its effects on the growth and yield of rice under flooded conditions are unknown. Two experimental runs were conducted in a screenhouse to determine the growth of lowland ecotype C. rotundus with transplanted and wet direct-seeded rice at sowing densities of 0, 22, 44, 66, and 88 initial germinating tubers m–2, as well as its effects on the growth and yield of rice. Except for height, growth variables of lowland ecotype C. rotundus were increased with the increase in its germinating tuber densities. Compared with 22 germinating tubers m–2, its number of off-shoots and tubers plus shoot and root biomass at 44–88 germinating tubers m–2 increased by up to three times. Growth variables of rice were reduced by the weed. Grain yield of transplanted rice was reduced by 14–38%, whereas that of wet direct-seeded rice was reduced by 11–28%. The estimated yield losses of transplanted rice per weed plant were 0.8 and 0.1% as germinating tuber density and number of off-shoots approached zero (i) and 75.7 and 66.1% as the variables approached infinity (a). Estimated yield losses of wet direct-seeded rice per weed plant were 0.6 and 0.1% as the two variables approached i and 63.8 and 100% as variables approached a. Results suggest that lowland ecotype C. rotundus can grow well and reduce the growth and yield of rice under flooded conditions. Although the findings were obtained under screenhouse conditions, the results imply the need of developing a holistic weed control strategy against the weed.

Authors: Requiso Princess , Ventura Ruby Lynn , Nayve Fidel Rey , Ventura Jey-R
Published: September 2022

In this study, a sustainable protocol for PHA extraction was methodically selected using two multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) tools, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and grey relational analysis (GRA). AHP was first used to evaluate the proposed criteria categorized into technical, economic, and environmental aspects using a collected survey of pairwise comparisons. Based on the results of AHP, it was identified that both environmental and economic aspects were given higher priorities. Among the criteria, hazards and risks had the highest overall importance, followed by extraction cost and purity. Using GRA, 12 protocol alternatives categorized into solvent extraction and precipitation, non-PHA cell mass (NPCM) digestion, and assisted extraction methods were graded according to the criteria. Overall, the highest priority weights were given to NPCM digestion protocols including sodium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide + sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and ammonia water. The reagents involved in these protocols are ecologically benign and cheaper compared to other solvents, hence the higher grades in the environmental and economic aspects. Sensitivity analysis also proved that these protocols are excellent, particularly if extraction cost is given a higher priority. However, if hazards and risks and purity were given more importance, butyl acetate is preferable to sodium hydroxide. Further investigations such as the validation and optimization of protocols, together with feasibility studies and life cycle analyses, may be integrated with the results of this study to comprehensively determine a sustainable PHA extraction protocol.

Performance Analysis of a Philippine REIT and Its Optimal Allocation in a Mixed-asset Portfolio
Authors: Sallan Alfonso Luigi Miguel , Gemida Eleanor
Published: September 2022

Real estate investment trusts (REIT) are new and potentially lucrative investment vehicles in the Philippines with their inherent risks and rewards. Understanding their behavior and characteristics allows investors to maximize their profits and mitigate their risks. This study specifically considers the Ayala REIT (AREIT) and aims to conduct a performance analysis on it. The study used daily closing quotes of AREIT, Philippine Stock Exchange index and sectoral indices, S&P Philippine bond index, and monthly Philippine treasury bill from August 2020–April 2021. By using established methods in the modern portfolio theory (MPT), the risk- adjusted returns of the AREIT were obtained and compared with those of other assets. Other descriptors, such as correlations that indicate diversification potential were also obtained. This research also extends beyond performance and comparative analyses by using the mean-variance framework to determine the efficient frontiers that highlight the opportunity set of portfolios with the best return for a given level of risk. As a final modification in our AREIT description, this study employed the utility theory to incorporate an investor’s risk appetite in determining the optimal allocation of AREIT. The results show that AREIT had high returns and low risk relative to the other assets considered, as well as low to negative correlations with these assets. Moreover, it was observed that optimal AREIT weight increased with risk-aversion. AREIT played a dual role in increasing yields and mitigating risks in the portfolios considered.

Published: September 2022

Blood cancer is one of the most dangerous diseases in kids because it spreads throughout the body, damages healthy cells, and causes uncontrolled white blood cell growth. If it is not promptly treated, blood cancer can kill a person. Leukemia, commonly known as "White Blood Cancer," is the most common type of blood cancer and it has a devastating effect on many people. In essence, it develops in the marrow of bones. Uncontrolled white blood cell proliferation in leukemia harms the body and creates malignant cells. However, throughout the past few years, numerous computer-aided technologies have been employed to manage, identify, treat, and detect leukaemia. Many researchers presented algorithms, methods, and approaches to treat this disease, and after applying them with traditional dataset samples and some of their own created ones, they produced many positive outcomes. Because imaged data sets are utilized in medical examinations, big data plays a significant part in the data collecting for datasets. Large datasets produced positive results for machine learning algorithms such as convolutional neural networks, which are regarded as the best method for classifying images. Hematologic malignancies, which include blood-related diseases like anemia, are cancers that are connected to the blood. Leukemia and multiple myeloma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and encompasses acute AML( Acute Myeloid leukemia ), ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia), CML( Chronic Myeloid Leukemia ), and CLL(Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia) and affect adolescents, young grownups and the aged, and their prevalence increases with age. The main objective of this research is to present a systematic literature review associated with survey questions on leukemia detection by using machine learning algorithms, techniques, and methods recently. In this study, we outline some past and present uses of machine learning in leukemia prediction, identify manual diagnostic issues, and then discuss the historical background of leukemia discovery. We have also covered leukemia recognition, research motivation, research limits, the composition of white blood cells, and leukemia detection techniques. In order to do our review methodically, the methodology was written with the classification of papers according to their quality.

The assessment of the early rehabilitation's impact on the level of disorders occurring and the process of reinnervation, on the example of facial twigs of the motor nerve in patients with craniofacial injuries
Authors: Tyszkiewicz Szymon , Ujma Patrycja , Szczeciński Dominik , Szczygieł Klaudia , Kozakiewicz Marcin
Published: September 2022

Introduction. Lymphoedema of the skull's facial part is one of the main complications observed in a patient after surgical treatment of disorders of this area. Another noticeable and frequently reported complication by the patient is irregularities in facial expression muscles' work. A relationship between them and reducing edema performed in patients in the first days after surgery will reduce the noted disturbances in motor branches' function. Aim. To investigate the impact of early swelling reduction on the extent of nervous system disorders and its reinnervation rate. Materials and methods. Patients of the Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic of the University Clinical Hospital of the Military Medical Academy in Łódź were enrolled in the study. The study was conducted on 60 people who underwent maxillofacial surgery procedures from February to December 2019. Lymphatic drainage and dynamic taping were used to reduce patients' edema. Forty-five people were divided into three equal groups. Fifteen patients constituted the comparative group. The research tools were a survey created following the author's idea, linear measurements for measuring edema, and the Pietruski scale for assessing the state of reinnervation imaged by mimic muscle motility. On the first day after surgery, patients were examined four times, then on the third and seventh day after surgery, and finally four months after surgery. Results. The use of anti-edema therapy noticeably (from 2-5 points on the Pietruski scale) reduces the disturbances in facial expression muscles' function. The difference has been visible already on the third day after surgery. Regarding the patient's pain, the lack of manual lymphatic system development resulted in pain sensations remaining in each of the three tests performed. The occurrence of edema, pain level, and level of facial expression muscle disorders were similar between groups and made the following research objective in terms of observed relationships. Conclusions. The level of disturbances in the area of the mobility of expressive facial muscles (based on Pietruski scale) indicates that the implementation of anti edematous therapy, and thus the reduction of excess lymph, already in the first days after surgery provides a reduction of disorders of conduction of efferent impulses of motor fibers, appearing already in the first days after surgery. Increased drainage rate also accelerates the reinnervation process, shortens it by several weeks, and reduces pain symptoms.

This paper analyzes a new finding in the philosophy of science through a new disturbance; Covid-19. Covid-19 as a nuisance is measured using the Kilkki-based nuisance framework chart. This measurement will provide clarity as to whether COVID-19 can be categorized as a new disorder or just a disorder that has been found before such as the Spanish Flu. This study uses a descriptive-qualitative analysis model, the type of research is library research, as well as data collection methods, namely documentaries, books, journals, theses, reports and internet sites. The scope of this research is the Covid-19 pandemic by taking into account the two previous major pandemics; Spanish Flu and SARS. The results of this study indicate that covid-19 fulfills every aspect of the Kilkki disorder framework. This is what distinguishes COVID-19 from previous pandemics, including the two that have received the most attention; Spanish Flu and SARS. This is what answers why Covid-19 has not been able to be overcome with methods that have succeeded in stopping the rate of transmission and spread of the previous pandemic virus. In fact, although similar steps have been taken, because it is a new disorder, a renewal in the philosophy of science is needed to answer the final result of a new pandemic; covid-19.

Published: September 2022

Perempuan diciptakan sebagai penolong yang sepadan bagi laki-laki (Kejadian 2:18), dalam arti diciptakan untuk mendukung, melengkapi tugas dan panggilan suaminya.  Begitupun halnya ketika menjadi istri dari seorang gembala jemaat. Istri gembala jemaat dalam kehidupannya harus berkenan kepada Tuhan, memiliki karakter yang sesuai dengan firman Tuhan serta menjadi pribadi yang bijaksana, sehingga menjadi kesaksian yang patut diteladani oleh orang lain dan memuliakan Tuhan. Selain memiliki karakter yang baik, harus memiliki kedewasaan rohani yang memadai sehingga dapat mengimbangi pelayanan suami dan kualitas kerohanian suami, keluarga dan pelayanan suami di gereja.

Tujuan dari penulisan ini untuk menjelaskan mengenai makna “Penolong Yang Sepadan” menurut Kejadian 2:18, supaya istri gembala jemaat masa kini memperoleh pemahaman yang benar sebagai seorang penolong dan signifikansi bagi para istri gembala jemaat Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut penulis menggunakan metode deskriptif dan ditindaklanjuti dengan mengumpulkan data-data literatur.

Penulis menemukan bahwa ada istri gembala jemaat yang tidak hidup sungguh- sungguh takut Tuhan, membuat dirinya tidak hidup didalam kekudusan Allah, seperti istri selingkuh bahkan membunuh suaminya sendiri. Penulis memberi saran istri gembala jemaat harus memiliki pengenalan yang baik akan Tuhan, sehingga apa yang dilakukan sesuai dengan apa yang Tuhan kehendaki. Istri gembala jemaat harus terus meng-upgrade diri baik secara pengetahuan, kecakapan dalam hal-hal praktis yang diperlukan dalam pelayanan, dan keterampilan yang diperlukan sesuai dengan kebutuhan pelayanan

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui sejauh mana anggota komunitas Yosua Ministry tetap mengalami pertumbuhan rohani walaupun harus melakukan ibadah/persekutuan secara mandiri. Pandemi covid 19 yang melanda dunia membawa dampak besar dan perubahan cara hidup manusia saat ini. Untuk mengatasi penyebaran virus maka pemerintah mengambil kebijakan untuk melakukan sosial/phisical distancing dimana masyarakat diharapkan dapat bekerja di rumah, sekolah di rumah dan beribadah juga di rumah. Bekerja, sekolah dan ibadah dilakukan dengan sistim daring menggunakan berbagai media yang tersedia saat ini. Penelitian dengan judul “self directing bagi pertumbuhan rohani anggota komunitas dalam menghadapi covid 19”, memiliki rumusan masalah pengaruh covid 19 terhadap tata ibadah gereja dan dampak bagi pertumbuhan rohani anggota komunitas Yosua Ministry. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif dengan cara mengumpulkan data dalam bentuk angket/kuisoner. Kuisoner dibagikan kepada anggota komunitas Yosua Ministry dan ada 105 orang yang berpastisipasi dalam mengisi angket melalui googleform. Berdasarkan hasil temuan dari angket yang dibagikan melalui googleform maka dapat simpulkan: 1) self directing seseorang memiliki relasi yang kuat dalam mendorong seseorang memiliki kemampuan menghadapi tantangan dalam masa pandemi, 2) self directing memampukan seseorang untuk tetap bertumbuh dalam hal kerohanian sekalipun kurangnya perhatian dari gereja masing-masing. 3) Yosua Ministry dan pembina rohani, termasuk gereja atau permimpin Kristen harus mulai memikirkan cara bagaimana dapat menjangkau dan menolong jemaat yang tidak memiliki self directing dalam menjaga spiritualitas pribadinya.

Economic Growth and Poverty in West Kalimantan
Authors: Wahyudianto Hendra Eka
Published: September 2022

Ideally, the economic development that has been carried out will produce high economic growth as well as improve the welfare of the community. However, based on existing realities, the benefits of economic growth cannot be felt directly, resulting in poverty. In an effort to analyze economic growth and poverty, this study was performed by collecting samples of all districts/cities in West Kalimantan Province from 2010 to 2020, which were then analyzed using two-stages simultaneous equations. The endogenous variables in this study were economic growth and poverty, while the exogenous variables were household consumption, investments, per capita income, and agriculture sector growth. The results showed that poverty had a negative impact on economic growth, but household consumption and investment had no effect. At the same time, per capita income economic growth has a negative effect on poverty, while economic growth and agriculture sector growth has no effects on poverty. Therefore, the quality of economic growth in West Kalimantan must be further improved by focusing on the poor (pro poor).
