Published: July 2024

Introducción. México ocupa el primer lugar a nivel mundial de prevalencia en diabetes y segundo lugar en obesidad en adultos, por lo cual son retos importantes de salud pública. Estas enfermedades crónicas tienen una estrecha relación y la sufren tres de cada cuatro mexicanos mayores de 18 años que viven en zonas de alta marginación. Además, la diabetes es considerada una de las principales causas de mortalidad en adultos. Objetivo. Conocer los significados atribuidos a la obesidad y diabetes por jefas de familia migrantes y no migrantes del estado de Nuevo León. Método. Cualitativo con una muestra de 12 jefas de familia que presentaban obesidad y diabetes tipo 2. La información se recopiló por entrevistas semiestructurada y para analizar la información se utilizó el software cualitativo MAXQDA. Resultados. Mujeres de 38 a 70 años, casadas, la mayoría tienen escolaridad de primaria, la mitad eran migrantes y se dedicaban al hogar. Para las entrevistadas la diabetes es una enfermedad desconocida y responsabilizan al factor genético. Persisten en los entrevistados hábitos no saludables, desapego a la dieta y falta de seguimiento de su enfermedad. La diabetes la relacionan con la muerte y esto las acercó más a su religión. Conclusión. La diabetes y la obesidad están relacionadas con la alimentación en la cual influye la enfermedad, las emociones, la economía y la familia. Realizar investigaciones cualitativas en comunidades permite encontrar alternativas de solución dirigidas a desarrollar estrategias de intervención en promoción de la salud.

Prawo do asystencji przy czynnościach egzekucyjnych komornika w sądowym postępowaniu egzekucyjnym
Authors: Olaś Andrzej
Published: July 2024

The article deals with the so-called “right to assist in enforcement proceedings” as provided for in Article 812 of the Polish Code of Civil Procedure, that is, the right of the creditor and debtor to participate in all enforcement actions as well as the possibility of witnesses and the public to participate in these actions. The article also considers the related issue of assisting in enforcement actions by police officers and other state services, carried out under special provisions. The text pays also attention to the adequacy of the current regulation to the goals set by the legislator. In this regard, the tensions and conflicts that may emerge between the value of openness (including transparency) of enforcement proceedings and the need to safeguard other values and legally protected goods were not lost sight of. The problem of the impact of the analyzed law on ensuring the effectiveness of enforcement, which is a prerequisite for achieving the goal of enforcement proceedings in the form of bringing about, within a reasonable time, the fulfillment of the obligation stated in the enforcement title, was also considered herein.
Czy sprzedaż nieruchomości w drodze licytacji elektronicznej pozwala na przyspieszenie egzekucji?
Authors: Sadza Arkadiusz
Published: July 2024

Since 19 September 2021 the Civil Procedure Code has included regulations based on which real properties can be sold by electronic auction. Those regulations provide for many useful solutions, which not only reduce the risk of the development of a pandemic, but let attract a greater number of bidders and, consequently, achieve higher purchase prices, as well. The justification of the draft act, based on which the regulations were added to the Code, also indicates, however, that those regulations aim at accelerating debt collection from real properties. Thus, this article assesses the new solutions from that point of view and verifies whether the regulations allow for arranging for, holding and bidding under an electronic auction faster than in the case of a traditional auction.
The Relationship and Differences Between Surrogacy and Adoption in the Czech Republic
Authors: Kotroušová Denisa
Published: July 2024

Surrogacy is a phenomenon that is receiving increasing attention all around Europe (but not limited to it). Some countries have already managed to incorporate it into their legal systems through explicit regulations or bans of such practice, whereas others remain reluctant about it. This unique mechanism of establishing a family has an interesting bond with another mechanism for family establishment – adoption. Although one may believe the difference between the two is clear as adoption has always been described as ‘accepting a foreign natural person as one’s own’, in reality, it is somewhat complicated, particularly in a country, whose legal regulations almost pretend that surrogacy does not relate to it. This study aims to analyse the two institutions, their differences, and the relationship between them. The key question is ‘Is there any difference, and if so what is the difference, between surrogacy and adoption of a minor child right after it has been born?’ This question entails other interesting questions, such as ‘Who can be a surrogate?’ or ‘Can she be already pregnant at the time she agrees to be one?’ Considering surrogacy is being broadly understood as based on a type of contract between the intended parent(s) and the surrogate, what characteristics should the surrogate have with respect to the close connection with adoption? Can she be already pregnant? All those questions are analysed primarily with respect to the Czech Republic and its blurred approach to surrogacy and missing special legislation. However, other countries and their approach to surrogacy are mentioned as well to provide additional context.
Citizenship Education in Syrian Private Schools: Conceptions of Science and Language Teachers
Authors:   , Koul Sahagian Dzaghig Zohrab
Published: July 2024

The aim of the study was to examine the conceptions of science and language teachers at Syrian private schools about citizenship education, and to explore their views regarding (a) the sources and the origin of their conceptions of citizenship education; (b) the representation of citizenship education in pedagogical planning and practices, and the challenges associated with this representation; and (c) the academic and professional support they need to enhance citizenship education in their schools. Previous studies suggest that context is particularly important in reviewing citizenship education, since the complex and contested nature of the concept of citizenship leads to a broad range of interpretations. Taking into consideration the particularities of the context of Syrian private schools, as well as the distinctive characteristics of science and language teachers as idiosyncratic individuals on one hand and as experts in their respective disciplines on the other, a qualitative multiple-case study was conducted using focus group interviews. Twenty-nine science and language teachers teaching different grade levels from five private schools participated in the study. The teachers in each school were categorized into focus groups based on the subjects that they teach as the following: (a) Languages (Armenian, Arabic, English); and (b) sciences (physics, biology, chemistry), and the teachers of each category of subjects deemed as one case. A total of 8 focus groups were formed. Data was collected through Teacher Profile Questionnaires, focus group interviews, and content review. The results revealed many similarities between the conceptions of science and language teachers. Moreover, the analysis of the teachers’ views from both cases indicated similar factors affecting their conceptualization of citizenship education, as well as very similar views regarding the challenges they face while they integrate citizenship education in their instructional plans and practices, and the support they need to enhance citizenship education in their schools. Few different themes have emerged regarding the instructional practices that the teachers implement to emphasize citizenship education in their classrooms. The overall analysis of the teachers’ conceptions and views revealed that the teachers are more inclined towards the minimal interpretations of citizenship education, promoting value transmission, and transmitting knowledge and fixed values such as discipline, obedience, hard work, integrity, respect and responsibility. Moreover, the teachers’ lack of pedagogical content knowledge and expertise was evident as they used certain terminologies interchangeably, such as curriculum and textbook, and they could not provide thorough elaborations on some of their responses, especially concerning some teaching methods they use like cooperative learning. Based upon the gathered data and literature recommendations, implications for practice are suggested.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are crucial to Indonesia's economy, contributing approximately 60.5% to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employing about 96.9% of the national workforce. Despite the large number of MSMEs and their potential GDP contribution, there is still room for improvement in exports. The government has taken various measures to support MSME development, including policies that encourage digital business growth and education-based training for MSMEs. In West Kalimantan Province (Kalbar), MSMEs play a vital role in regional economic development. Despite their potential, they face several challenges such as access to capital, financial management, and market access. The regional government and the Bank of West Kalimantan have collaborated to revitalize MSMEs post-COVID-19 through various programs, credit schemes, and educational initiatives or training sessions. This study employs both qualitative and quantitative methods with a case study approach. The research results indicate that MSMEs significantly contribute to West Kalimantan's economic development, despite being impacted by the pandemic. The internal and external revitalization strategies implemented by Bank Kalbar have assisted MSMEs in recovery and adapting to digital-based business models. The study concludes that MSMEs in West Kalimantan have the potential to continue growing and thriving as independent economic entities in a digital-based business environment. The revitalization of MSMEs is a result of collaboration between MSME actors, the government, and banking institutions to achieve regional economic stability and recovery.

Published: July 2024

This study was conceived to determine the level of acceptability of Papanicolaou (PAP) Smear among female government workers of Ilocos Sur. Specifically, this study aimed to determine the respondents' socio economic profile, assess their reproductive health history and their level of acceptability of Pap smear. Likewise, it determined if there is a significant relationship between the respondents' level of Pap smear acceptability and the following variables: socio-economic factors and reproductive health history. The descriptive-correlational method was used. A questionnaire checklist was utilized in obtaining data from 771 female government workers in the different local government units and the Department of Education in Ilocos Sur. The study revealed that most of the respondents are married women at reproductive age (MWRA) at an average of 43, have attained baccalaureate degrees with a monthly income ranging P5,000-14,999 at a mean average of P10,281.60. These women generally have normal reproductive health history. They are still menstruating at an average of 26-30 days cycle, are sexually active, and are engaged in sexual contact at an average frequency of every other day, every 3 days andonce a week. The married ones generally have had 1-3 pregnancies and live births via normal spontaneous delivery at an average child/pregnancy spacing of every two years. History ofabortions, still births and ectopic pregnancies was notapparent. The predominant contraceptive method used is the natural means. Most have not yet submitted themselves to Pap smear test but those who already hadwere subjected only once. Reproductive health-related discomforts prevalent among the respondents include low backache, dysmenorrhea, abdominal pain evenwithout menstruation, delay in menstruation, itchy vulva, yellowish or greenish vaginal discharge. There is a "high" level of acceptability of PS among the respondents. They agree that PS is a valuable tool to lessen the increasingnumber of cervical cancer, done by gynecologists and an important procedure to save a woman's life. PS is highly accepted because it is a simple test and does not require lots of preparation and it should be included as a part of the annual medical examination. It's highly recognized as accurate test to detect the presence of STD therefore, every woman (18years old and above) must submit for PS. Civil status, monthly income, frequency of sexual contact, previous experience of having PS Test significantly influenced the respondents' level of PS acceptability. On the other hand, age, educational status, presence of menstruation regardless of the cycle, number of pregnancies, live births, abortion, stillbirth, mode of child birth, pregnancy spacing, use of contraception and reproductive health-related discomforts do not significantly influence the level of acceptability of PS test.

Authors: Norma A. Esguerra
Published: July 2024

This paper presents a unique Ilocano culture through the amazing nature ofconstructing antique houses and churches with the sablot leaves. The crude formulation of the original sablot paste was reconstituted to relate to the modern day context. This study attempts to widen the Ilocano culture through the llocano built environment with the end view of enriching its present collection of subjects unfolding the Ilocano engineering using indigenous resources. This study made use of a mixture of qualitative and quantitative type of research. Interview was the method of gathering information and the researcher conducted experiment based on what she learned from the interview on the use of sablotas paste. Four major llocano values were deemed evident and highly associated with the indigenous construction material known as sablot. They are prudence (kinamanagsakbay), self-reliance (panagwayas), caring (panangilala), and ingenuity (kinawido). The findings disclose four amazing discoveries: 1) The strength of the samples out of sablot paste are as strong as those of cement as binder. 2) There is an effect of soaking time to the strength ofthe sablot samples. 3) The strength of the grout and mortar for concrete hollow blocks using sablot paste as binder is as strong as the grout and mortar using cement. and 4) The plaster out of sablot paste is 35 percent lower in cost than the cement plaster, taking the area of application and thickness of the plaster similar for both. Sablot trees were found still thriving in Vigan City, Sto. Domingo, and Sinait, all in /locos Sur. The presence ofsablot trees within the Ilocos Region is still with a high percentage of probability, basing on the existence of the trees in the three municipalities of Ilocos Sur, owing to the fact that these places hove churches built using the sablot paste.

Modular cooperative learning is a kind of approach wherein, modular and cooperative approaches are combined to come up with a better strategy in teaching. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of modular cooperative learning in teaching college algebra. This study made use of quasi-experimental research that involved the BSIT I-7 which is composed of 30 students assigned as the experimental group exposed in modular cooperative learning and BSIT I -9 with 32 students assigned as the control group exposed in the traditional lecture -discussion method. The study started with the administration of pretest and pre-mathematics attitude test and it ended with the administration of a posttest and post –mathematics attitude test. The instruments used to gather data included the module, pretest and posttest and mathematics attitude inventory test. The scores were compared and the significance of their differences were determined using the t-test. Findings showed that modular cooperative learning improved mathematics performance of the students. It also performed significantly better than the traditional lecture-discussion method. Positive changes taking place when teachers change their teaching methods towards a more student-centered approach like modular cooperative learning. Hence, modular cooperative learning should be adopted to develop a more enjoyable learning environment.
