La filosofía colonial de los siglos XVII y XVIII: ¿nuestra tardía Edad Media?
Authors: Zabalza Joaquín
Published: February 2016

Por estas fechas, hace veinte años, se reunía en la sala de consejos de esta Universidad un grupo numeroso de filósofos, miembros de la Academia de Historia, de la Academia de la Lengua y del Instituto Caro y Cuervo, con el fin de determinar el pensum de la Facultad de Filosofía que se pretendía fundar. Entre los presentes se hallaba un extranjero. En las últimas sesiones, cuando ya la programación de las materias y los contenidos generales de las mismas estaban casi totalmente configurados, el extranjero anotó la ausencia de una materia o de un capítulo extenso dentro de la historia de la filosofía que se denominara Historia de la Filosofía Colombiana o Historia de la Filosofía en Colombia o algo similar, e insistió en que se llenara ese vacío. Al fin de las deliberaciones la propuesta fue rechazada (un voto a favor y todos los demás en contra) porque prevaleció la tesis de que en Colombia nunca se había cultivado la filosofía de una forma tal que mereciera el esfuerzo de su estudio y recuperación.
El otro como “sí mismo” Una lectura de El retorno del sujeto reprimido de Franz J. Hinkelammert
Authors: Cruz Rodríguez Edwin
Published: February 2016

Este artículo reconstruye la concepción del reconocimiento presente en la obra El retorno del sujeto reprimidode Franz J. Hinkelammert. Plantea que para este autor el reconocimiento implica concebir al otro como “sí mismo”. Dado que la permanencia de la vida propia está determinada por el respeto hacia el otro inmerso en los ciclos naturales de la vida, un reconocimiento recíproco pasa por comprender que el otro habita en el “sí mismo”, es parte de mí y, en consecuencia, el asesinato es suicidio. Por esa razón, esta teoría del reconocimiento deviene en una ética del bien común. Para desarrollar este planteamiento, el texto se estructura en tres partes. La primera reconstruye la crítica de Hinkelammert a la racionalidad instrumental; la segunda se centra en su concepción del sujeto y la última examina su concepción del reconocimiento y la ética del bien común.
Rafael Gutiérrez Girardot y José Luis Romero: historiografía e identidad latinoamericana
Authors: Pachón Soto Damián
Published: February 2016

En este artículo realizo una lectura de la propuesta historiográfica de José Luis Romero y de la “Historia social de la literatura” de Rafael Gutiérrez Girardot, mostrando cómo la primera influye en la segunda, y relacionándolas con el problema de la identidad de América Latina. Se parte de un diagnóstico de la historiografía colombiana del siglo XX y se evidencia la manera como estas dos miradas historiográficas lograron superar las deficiencias de la misma, fundando en nuestro continente una utopía política que aboga por una conciencia de América. 
Trends in Metabolic Syndrome Severity and Lifestyle Factors Among Adolescents
Authors: Lee Arthur M. , Gurka Matthew J. , DeBoer Mark D.
Published: February 2016

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Childhood metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a risk factor for adverse outcomes later in life. Our goal was to identify temporal trends among US adolescents in the severity of MetS, its individual components, and factors related to diet and physical activity.

METHODS:

We analyzed 5117 participants aged 12 to 19 from NHANES. We used regression analysis of individual waves of data, 1999 to 2012. MetS severity was calculated using a gender- and race/ethnicity-specific MetS severity z score.

RESULTS:

There was a linear trend of decreasing MetS severity in US adolescents from 1999 to 2012 (P = .030). This occurred despite a trend of increasing BMI z score (P = .005); instead, the decrease in MetS severity appeared to be due to trends in increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL; P < .0001) and decreasing triglyceride (P = .0001) levels. In considering lifestyle factors, there was no change in physical activity over the time period. Regarding dietary patterns, total calorie consumption and carbohydrate consumption were positively associated with triglyceride levels and negatively associated with HDL levels, whereas unsaturated fat consumption exhibited the opposite associations. Consistent with these associations, there was a trend of decreasing total calorie consumption (P < .0001), decreasing carbohydrate consumption (P < .0001), and increasing unsaturated fat consumption (P = .002).

CONCLUSIONS:

The healthier trend of declining MetS severity in adolescents appeared to be due to favorable increases in HDL and decreases in fasting triglyceride measurements. These were in turn associated with favorable changes in dietary patterns among US adolescents. Future studies should investigate the causality of dietary differences on changes in MetS severity in adolescents.

Zaangażowanie organizacyjne pracowników jako źródło uczestnictwa w organizacji
Authors: Adamska-Chudzińska Małgorzata
Published: February 2016

The article reviews the concepts of organisational engagement from a historical perspective. It emphasises a diversity of approaches and the particular achievements in separate periods. A model of organisational engagement proposed by Mayer and Allen was chosen as best representing the basic trend of contemporary research on engagement. Their model includes differentiation of three independent components of organisational engagement – emotional, rational and normative. Each of them is connected with a different mental state, and a corresponding behaviour at work. Hence, it is possible to suggest three main justifications of participation in an organisation (willingness, necessity and duty) and thus there is a connection between those causes of behaviour and the type of engagement that occurs within it. The author stresses that the majority of scholars agree that the emotional aspect of engagement is key in producing authentic and strong identification with an organisation.
Kultura zaangażowania organizacyjnego a potrzeby psychospołeczne pracowników
Authors: Krzyżak Joanna , Motyka Marek
Published: February 2016

From a psychological point of view, all human activities are motivated by key needs of the individual, be they biological, economic or psychosocial. As living standards improve, the latter factors become increasingly important. Consequently, successful employee motivation is becoming more and more dependent on complex psychosocial reinforcements. The authors of this article seek to emphasise the issue of employees’ internal motivation, which is often underestimated in practice. In particular, much attention is devoted to the importance of incorporating core psychosocial needs of employees into the company’s organisational culture, as the authors believe it to be a key factor contributing to organisational involvement.

Published: February 2016

The article looks at the latest subject literature and seeks to clarify the impact of the organization on employee involvement. How people work together is of key importance, and grows out of the organisation’s values and the behavioural patterns built upon them. Organisational values as part of the regulatory organisational culture determine the rules for cooperation in the organisation. Values motivate action and constitute a basis for the formulation of social standards in the organisation. Particular attention is placed on the importance of consistency between the organisational values and employees’ individual values.
Updated CPT-based p–y formulation for laterally loaded piles in cohesionless soil under static loading
Authors: Suryasentana S. K. , Lehane B. M.
Published: February 2016

The p–y method is currently the most popular design method to predict the response of piles to lateral load. The authors had previously used numerical methods to develop a cone penetration test (CPT)-based p–y formulation for piles in sand and this has subsequently been shown by independent verification to show considerable promise. This paper addresses some of the uncertainties associated with the original p–y formulation by examining the influence of pile bending stiffness, the presence of a water table, the cross-sectional shape of the pile and soil non-homogeneities. Numerical experiments are presented examining these four effects and lead to an updated proposal for a CPT-based p–y formulation. This formulation, which is consistent with the original proposal, is validated against three-dimensional finite-element calculations and data obtained from a full-scale offshore monopile foundation supporting a wind turbine.
E-Learning Management System and its effect on grammar proficiency of grade six pupils of the University of the Immaculate Conception
Authors: Mamonong Virgion H.
Published: February 2016

This study aimed to determine whether the use of e-Learning Management System (eLMS) software for a two-grading period could enhance the English grammar proficiency of the grade six pupils of the University of the Immaculate Conception. This investigation employed a pretest posttest control group design that involved 40 pupils in each of the classes utilized in the study. Findings revealed that post tests scores were significantly higher than pretest scores in both the control and experimental groups. However, no significant differences in the post test scores, as well as in the gain scores, between the control and the experimental groups were established. Hence, the use of both (eLMS) e-Learning Management System and traditional approach as strategies in teaching are helpful in the acquisition and enhancement of the pupils’ English grammar proficiency.

Authors: Sagarino Emma V. , Acosta Presentacion C. , Amoguis Mary Jane B.
Published: February 2016

The ultimate goal of an academic institution is to produce competent graduates who can contribute to the development of the society. The competence of graduates is manifested in their employability particularly to their field of expertise. Thus, this employability mapping has been conceptualized to track business graduates of the University of the Immaculate Conception (UIC) in the different industries in Davao City; document their characteristics in two perspectives – from the graduates themselves and from the employers. The survey included 101 UIC graduates who were traced through snowball sampling. Data were from the key informant interviews with a Human Resource Officer from a private company, another were confirmed with from a government agency. Findings showed that 78% of the respondents have been employed within six months after graduation and the top four industries of employment include Banking, Academe, Retail and Government. The top four skills of respondents considered as relevant in their first job are public speaking, computer literacy, communication skills and customer relations. Based on the gathered data, they have attributed their employability to the UIC education in these aspects –effective curriculum and training, prestige of the university, values and discipline. The characteristics evident to UIC graduates are competence, dependability, trustworthiness, God-centeredness, dedication, and sociability.

Authors: Barluado Mary Jane G. , Lagang Mary Jean M. , Gordonas Ivy faye M. , Bosas Cybonne Diane B.
Published: February 2016

Angiogenesis or the development of blood vessels and oxidation or the radical transformation of cellular substances are two key processes that contribute to cancer progression. This study evaluated the antiangiogenic and antioxidant properties of different concentrations of calamansi (Citrusmicrocarpa)ethanolic peel extract. Preliminary quantification of active compound phenolic acid in 1 ml of 0.1% extract solution revealed 0.005% phenolic acid content. By chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay of 11-day duck embryo, 0.10 g/ ml to 0.30 g/ml extract revealed significantly lower numbers of blood vessels compared to the untreated control (p<0.05), in a concentration-dependent fashion, demonstrating antiangiogenic property of the extract. On the other hand, by 1, 1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, 0.10% to 0.50% extract concentrations were tested against DPPH radical using ascorbic acid as positive control. Spectrophotometric analysis revealed significantly stronger inhibition of DPPH radical by the extract than by ascorbic acid (p < .05), demonstrating more powerful antioxidant property of the extract than ascorbic acid. Hence, the study proved that C. microcarpa peel extract exhibits both antiangiogenic and antioxidant properties. Development of anti-cancer therapy envisaged, antiangiogenic and antioxidant bioassays of the extract using tumor-positive animal models are recommended.

Authors: Morastil Dario N.
Published: February 2016

Coastal Resource Management Program (CRMP), which has been created to teach people to rehabilitate and preserve coastal and marine resources, needs to be evaluated in terms of its stated and realized goals involving principal stakeholders.  Thus, this study assessed the impact of CRMP on the selected coastal municipalities of Davao del Sur. For the primary data, the researcher used descriptive design utilizing 5-point Likert-scaled survey questionnaires distributed to 581 respondents chosen randomly. The sources of secondary data were the local offices of the municipalities covered in the study. Employing paired t-test as statistical measure, findings revealed an uneven impact of CRMP on the coastal municipalities. Although the program increased the level of awareness of fisher folks on conservation and rehabilitation of marine habitat increased the mangrove areas managed and planted, established fish sanctuaries, and increased annual fish catch.  The program failed to increase budget allocation of Local Government Units (LGU) for coastal resource management.  Also, the CRMP intervention had no favorable impact on average fish catch per day per fisherman, and did not improve coral reef cover in the selected municipalities. Lastly, the CRMP intervention was not able to establish a favorable impact on alternative livelihood.

Published: February 2016

Using the positive interdependence element of cooperative learning, the researchers conducted a study aimed to measure whether there was a significant relationship between the level of attitude towards cooperative learning and the level of critical analysis by the students of the Filipino independent films: Serbis, Kinatay, Noy and  Ang Babae sa Septic Tank. Forty students from a Filipino class of the Holy Name University and thirty two students of the University of the Immaculate Conception were purposively chosen as participants of the study. A 20-item researcher-made questionnaire (α = 0.92) was used to assess the level of attitude towards cooperative learning strategy. A 5-item-criteria scoring rubric for written (α = 0.89) and a 9-item criteria scoring rubric for speech (α = 0.92) were used to evaluate the critical film analysis of the participants. Based on the data gathered, the level of attitude towards cooperative learning as an instructional strategy is high and the level of critical analysis is moderately high for students of HNU, on the other hand, the level of attitude towards cooperative learning as an instructional strategy is moderately high while the level of oral critical analysis is low for students of UIC. There is a moderate correlation between these two variables. Generally, the students hardly grasp the real intention of the independent films which are presented more as art forms rather than as entertaining materials that described the film as a comedy about misguided ambitions, the art of making art and the romanticism of Philippine poverty.

Networking is a marketing method which a company taps agents to reach potential customers that could not be contacted by traditional online or offline marketing methods. Being an agent in this kind of marketing endeavor can be challenging. It is evident that many college students have become networkers of various distribution companies in Davao City. Considering that schooling is always demanding and that the students are in a dilemma as to which activities should be prioritized, the researchers were prompted to explore the experiences of college students as networkers. In particular, the study focused on the marketing mix the entrepreneurial students utilized to attain their objectives vis-à-vis the motivation and the difficulties they encountered. The 12 study participants were identified through snowball sampling. In-depth interviews were conducted and recorded interview results were transcribed, categorized, and themes were identified through the emergent approach. Findings of the study revealed that the commodities, which were typically marketed by networkers through direct selling included nutraceutical such as dietary supplements, and herbal products. Networkers attributed their success to the sufficient and appropriate trainings and workshops they participated, observance of favorable business practices, the highly motivated team they belong to, the effectiveness of product they endorse and the appropriate integrated marketing communication they utilized. Difficulties encountered affected their academic and health status.
