Authors: Garcia Mario A. , Naganag Edgar M.
Published: July 2024

Conservation and preservation of the forest is the primary concern of the cordillera folks for the future generation’s support of their basic needs. The study aimed at documenting the forest conservation management practices and beliefs of the Indigenous Peoples (IPs) of the Cordillera Region of the Philippines and the role they play as stewards of the forest. This is a qualitative research. The data were gathered through interview and empirical experiences of the old folks of the IPs of Cordillera. The IPs have very good conservation management practices, and the Imong, lapat and muyung are some of the many indigenous and environmental friendly ways. Cordillera has very good propagation technique of trees native to the place, land utilization and hunting practices. When fire-woods are needed, the tree trunks are not cut instead the upper branches are cut, resulting to eventual pruning of the trees. There are also tribal laws that punish destruction of the forest. For the IPs beliefs, wanton destruction of the environment is a taboo. Burning trees in the mountain, using poisonous substances to catch fish and cutting trees without real use are two of the many acts punishable by the community. Indigenous practices of the IPs in forest protection, conservation, and management are very environment friendly and costless. These practices are results of the concerted efforts of the whole community. Obedience, commitment, and concern to the future generation are the only rules that are understood by everyone in the IP communities. The forest conservation management practices, and beliefs should be finely identified by government agencies so that these shall serve as inputs in formulating future environmental policies.

Published: July 2024

This study developed and validated modules in Zoology to help enhance learning and scientific skills. The descriptive-developmental method of research was used to highlight the development of this modular package. This study had 120 respondents composed of nine experts, who are fishery and biology instructors and 111 student-respondents. The module development consisted of planning, development, evaluation/validation, and revision stages. Checklist questionnaires and interview were used to determine the validity of the proposed modules. A descriptive form of the presentation of data and simple statistics were utilized in validating the content of the modules by experts and students. Based on students’ learning difficulties, two modules were developed consisting of: Module 1: Aquatic Invertebrates; and Module 2: Aquatic Vertebrates. Both were found to have instructional and technical quality and observed to be valid as instructional materials to enhance learning and scientific skills. The posttest results of both modules 1 and 2 improved students’ performance as compared to the pretest results. Analysis of comparison using independent t-test rejected the hypothesis of no difference in the means of the performance levels in the pretest and posttest in Modules 1 and 2. It is recommended that these modules be reviewed by Institutional Instructional Material Committee and be tried out by other professors inside and outside Sorsogon State College and be mass produced. These may also be used in teaching other areas of science not only Zoology subject.

Authors: Bonna Mae S. Gorospe
Published: July 2024

The study explored Filipino experiences on continuing bonds pertaining to loss of a loved one. The phenomenological-qualitative method of research utilizing semistructured interviews was used. The participants are composed of equal number of surviving parents, children, sibling and spouse respondents from Region I and Cordillera Administrative Region. Data were transcribed, coded, and categorized to obtain results of the study. Findings on the nature of continuing bonds are categorized into (a) concrete representation of the deceased which includes dream visitation, spiritual presence and association with the deceased; (b) preserving the memory of the deceased; (c) sustenance of communication with the deceased involves expressing emotions, asking permission/ consulting with decisions, seeking for guidance and sharing family’s achievements and difficulties; and (d) identification with the deceased. From the findings, it is concluded that (a) the relationship of Filipinos continues to exist despite the death of a loved one (b) Filipinos experience connection in the form of a real symbol of their deceased loved ones. It is therefore recommended that bereaved individuals are encouraged to maintain a grief dream journal since it offers a way  through healing process. Practitioners should help the bereaved individuals by developing appropriate interventions like group dynamics and psychological debriefing for them to cope with the loss of their family member. Future researchers may also explore loss-related resilience in relation to continuing bonds to investigate the impact of the nature of death.

Use of Ilokano in Student Publications in the University of Northern Philippines
Authors: Maximo B. Borje Jr.  , Marie Rose Q. Rabang
Published: July 2024

Student publications aim for student development along critical thinking, creativity and transmission of cultural values. While serving as a forum for students’ views on issues and generating support for their academic development, they also serve as whetstone in honing students’ journalistic and literary talents. This study, which utilized both quantitative and qualitative methods, analyzed the use of Ilokano in student publications in the University of Northern Philippines during School Years 2013-2014 to 2015-2016. The New Tandem (official organ of UNP student body), Layap (literary folio) and 11 student publications were analyzed and found to contain only a few Ilokano articles, majority of which are literary and feature. Writers who used Ilokano did it for cultural preservation and reader-respondents appreciated the Ilokano articles; those who do not use Ilokano in their articles lack the proficiency to do so. It is recommended that the Student Publication Services under the Office of Student Affairs should conduct seminar/workshop on Ilokano language; the Bachelor of Arts in Communication program and the Association of Media Students may sponsor Ilokano writing competitions along editorial, news, literary and feature. The student publications should call for Ilokano articles, allot more space to Ilokano articles and maintain an Ilokano section in every issue.
Women and Religion in Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code
Authors: Mark Louie Tabunan  , Rommel Tabunan
Published: July 2024

This article examines Dan Brown's novel, the Da Vinci Code through the frameworks of post-structuralist theories, namely: deconstruction, feminism, new historicism, and cultural materialism. Following a descriptive design, it demonstrates that the novel offers various interrogations of truth, identity, and history through its representation of the suppressed sacred feminine. However, it might have advocated for feminist empowerment through its representation of Mary Magdalene, but it failed. Sophie's portrayal as a detective/cryptologist who was led to a damsel in distress and the novel’s configuration to deconstruction and différance weaken its feminist agenda. Also, it might have deconstructed patriarchy and its repercussions, but the novel was soon bound in its uncertainty on the signifier Holy Grail, a symbol of marginalized women. The truth about the Holy Grail has never been revealed configures the novel to its language's and aim's uncertainty and fluidity. Insights from this study shed light on how popular literatures such as this participate in the perpetuation of the marginality of women. As such, it could also be extended to other popular literary and cultural forms in an attempt to interrogate discourses and practices that maintain gender inequality-towards improving the circumstances and future of women in contemporary society.

Authors: Leona S. Cayapan  , Rochellewin B. Ignacio
Published: July 2024

Corn is the world’s most important grain, based on the production volume. In 2016-2017, a production level around 1.07 metric tons of corn was achieved (Shahbandeh, 2017). Isabela province is the top corn producer in the country peaking its production at 1, 049, 954 metric tons. The most produced corn in the country came from the City of Ilagan and because of this it was hailed as the “Corn Capital of the Philippines”. Due to the high supply of corn in the City and the limited product produced out of corn, the researchers developed an Energy Rich Corn Bar using Yellow Corn flour as the main ingredient in the development of the product. The general objective of the study is to develop a healthy snack bar which can be served both as a snack and a dessert using corn flour as the main ingredient. The researchers tried different proportions of corn flour: T1 (100% yellow corn flour), T2 (70% yellow corn flour) and T3 (50% yellow corn flour) and baked in an electric oven. They got an overall grand mean of 4.26 and gave a qualitative description of “Highly Acceptable”. It indicates that the Corn Bar is generally “Highly Acceptable” by the evaluators. Therefore, making corn bars using corn flour is possible and acceptable.

Oyster Culture through Hanging Method: An Alternative Source of Livelihood
Authors: Arsenia C. Domingo  , Petronila E. Florendo
Published: July 2024

The Philippines is very rich in soft-bodied, hardshelled animals, known as mollusks. They occur in coastal-, fresh-, and estuarine waters and in local ponds and gardens. It has been estimated that there are at least 20,000 species of the animal in the country excluding those that are still unknown and unidentified (de los Santos, 1988). One mollusk that is easily formed is the oyster or the commonly called "tirem" in Iloko or "talaba" in Filipino. These mollusks, Crassostrea sp. are found throughout the tropics and subtropics and are commonly harvested from the wild population. The need for increasing aquaculture products is becoming a necessity as they are popular for food and profit. Oysters in particularwere found out to be no ordinary food and they are even considered rare delicacy in Europe, Britain, and Ireland and they are good source of calcium, zinc, protein, and some vitamins required by the human body (Goltsoff, 1964). In these years of rapid increasing population but more slowly increasing food resources, it is necessary that any existing or potential resources be appraised. From the study of Angell in 1986, the expansion of oyster culture has been hindered by limited awareness of its potential among fishery development promoters and the need for more widespread dissemination of information on the technology of culture processing and marketing. However many handbooks and manuals are published for the promotion ofthe positive aspects ofoyster to tum more people into its farming and the economic importance of this industry (Fish Farming International, 1995). In the country, oyster culture and its commercial production is concentrated in Cavite, Malabon, MetroManila, and in some municipalities of Pangasinan, to name some of the very few places engaged in such industry. And despite the presence of suitable habitats here in Ilocos Sur, commercial production of oyster is still insignificant.

Evangelisasi di Indonesia: Teori dan Praktek
Authors: Sudhiarsa Raymundus I Made
Published: July 2024

As small minority and being dispersed community, the Christians in Indonesia are always challenged to present themselves amicably and attentively to people of other faiths. As integral part of Indonesian people they are of course responsible for the development of the society at large and the good of everyone, based on their calling to be light and salt of the world. They can accomplish this particular mission (missio ad extra) if their distinctive quality can be relied on. The article argues that the Church in Indonesia should at best work out the image of being salt or yeast rather than big tree. This theological image could be develop in line with the so-called 'theology of participation', since the Church has been elected to participate in missio Dei and to collaborate with people of other faiths in building up the nation-state of Indonesia to be a 'shared-world' of all.

Analysis of Emotional Conflicts of Vāsavdatta in Svapnavāsavadattam of Bhāsa with Reference to Modern Theories of Emotions
Authors: Panchal Renuka
Published: July 2024

Abstract This paper delves into the intricate emotional conflicts experienced by Vāsavdatta, the protagonist of Bhāsa’s classical Sanskrit play Svapnavāsavadattam, through the lens of modern theories of emotions. By employing contemporary psychological frameworks, such as the Cognitive Appraisal Theory, James-Lange Theory, and Schachter-Singer Theory, we aim to unravel the complex emotional tapestry that defines Vāsavdatta’s character. This interdisciplinary approach not only enriches our understanding of her psychological landscape but also bridges the gap between ancient literary narratives and modern psychological insights. The analysis reveals how Vāsavdatta’s emotional experiences, shaped by love, separation, fear, and longing, align with and diverge from current emotional theories. Through this exploration, we highlight the timeless nature of human emotions and the enduring relevance of classical literature in illuminating contemporary psychological concepts. This study provides a nuanced perspective on Bhāsa’s work, demonstrating the profound psychological depth embedded in ancient texts and their potential to inform and enhance modern emotional theory.

Published: July 2024

In Islamic law, the distribution of inheritance (faraidh) is part of a problem that has clear rules (qat'i al-dilalah). Even so, there are still a handful of people who question the justice aspect of this faraidh issue. One solution to bridge this is the concept of a will. The distribution of assets based on a will is relatively more flexible than what has been determined in the science of faraidh. However, wills are still inseparable from the legal rules established by the Koran and Sunnah.

Abdurrahman Wahid or Gus Dur. This paper aims to examine Spiritual Leadership in the perspective of KH. Abdurrahman Wahid. This research is in the nature of a literature study, in which the researcher is to obtain the results of an in-depth study related to the literature on Spiritual Leadership in the view of KH. Abdurrahman Wahid. Gus Dur has views on various issues, always assessed by Islamic universalism which prioritizes spiritual values. In his leadership he strictly forbade Islam to use violence because Islam itself is a religion of peace. However, he allowed the use of violence in certain situations, for example when pressed. But as long as the path of peace can still be taken, he forbids using violence, returning to his original law that Islam is a religion that is rahmatan lil alamin. In the political field, for Gus Dur, democracy means equal rights and status of every citizen before the law, regardless of differences in ethnicity, religion, gender and language. Gus Dur's thinking about religious tolerance does not only use the products of traditional Islamic thought, but also emphasizes the use of methodology (manhaj), legal theory (ushul fiqh), and legal principles (Qawa'id Fiqhiyah) within the framework of making a synthesis to giving birth to new ideas as an effort to respond to actual changes in society so that inter-religious conflicts can be avoided.

Published: July 2024

#تعددت تعريفات الأصل في الإطار المحاسبي الدولي والأطر المحاسبية الوطنية ومعايير المحاسبة الدولية والوطنية التي تناولت تعريف الأصل بشكل عام، كما تنوعت تعريفات أصول المعادن والزيت والغاز في المعايير المتخصصة بالصناعات الاستخراجية، مما أدى إلى ظهور أصول المعادن أو أصول الزيت والغاز في الميزانيات العمومية بمسميات مختلفة تجعل البيانات المالية للمنشآت غير قابلة للمقارنة، ولا تمكن مستخدمي البيانات المالية من اتخاذ القرارات الرشيدة وإذ يعتبر تعريف الأصل نقطة ارتكاز حاسمة في الاعتراف بالأصل، ونظراً للتقارب المنطقي في التصنيف للاحتياطيات والموارد (إنتاج احتياطيات مؤكدة واحتياطيات محتملة، وموارد....)، فإننا نجد انه من الأهمية بمكان تطوير تعريف واضح ووحيد لأصل المعادن والزيت والغاز، ينسجم مع تعريف الأصل في الإطار المحاسبي المجلس معايير الحاسبة الدولية وتعريفات الاحتياطيات والموارد. واعتماداً على هذا الأساس تناقش هذه الدراسة بالتحليل والمقارنة تعريفات الأصل وفقا لبعض الأطر والمعايير المحاسبية الدولية والوطنية، كما تقف على مدى إمكانية تطبيق تعريف الأصل وفقا لإطار مجلس معايير المحاسبة الدولية الحالي على تعريفات أصول المعادن وأصول الزيت والغاز.
