Published: May 2024

The present study used descriptive research design to assess student engagement in an online class of a city college in Southern Philippines. It underscored the critical role of student engagement in shaping the various educational outcomes in an online learning environment. A sample of 239 college students were randomly selected to respond to a researcher-made questionnaire, which was pilot-tested and passed the test of validity and reliability. With at least two years’ experience of attending online classes that started during the COVID-19 era, the students’ Internet profile was characterized as having used cellphones and phone Internet to attend online classes and having spent more than 2 to 4 hours daily on the Internet for non-academic purposes. The findings of this study have further shown that the students are engaged in the cognitive, affective, and behavioral domains of online learning. Using the Kruskal-Wallis test for Likert-scale data, no significant difference was found in student engagement in an online class when grouped according to access to Internet, time use of Internet for non-academic purpose, and types of gadgets used. Based on these findings, the study has recommended the following: a) the use and mastery of teaching strategies that promote active listening, asking direct questions to the teachers, greater talking time of the students, and more interaction between teacher and students; and b) the use of breakout rooms in an online classroom for small group discussions and greater collaborative learning among students.
Microscopy in the Study of Asbestos-Containing Joint Compound and Patching Products, Including Spackling
Authors: Millette James R. , Compton Stephen P. , DePasquale Christopher
Published: May 2024

Drywall (wallboard, plasterboard, gypsum board) became the common construction material for interior walls in buildings in the later 1940s. Joint compound (mud, spackling, taping compound, joint treatment material) and patching products such as spackle or spackling were used to seal the seams between the boards and cover cracks and nail indentations. Most joint compounds from the 1940s into the later 1970s contained chrysotile asbestos in various formulations. Analyses by microscopy determined the chrysotile asbestos content of samples of Bondex, Georgia-Pacific, and Reardon products to be 1–5%, 3–8%, and 1–2% asbestos, respectively. Information compiled from several sources, including corporate responses to the U.S. EPA Asbestos Information Act of 1988 and other documents, suggest that asbestos-containing joint compounds and patching products from the 1930s into the late 1970s contained chrysotile in the range of 0.5% to 23%, with one company having a few formulations with asbestos levels as high as 45.2%. Although there were no documents showing that amphibole asbestos was intentionally added to joint compounds, there is some evidence of amphibole asbestos fibers in certain joint compound products, probably as accessory minerals with added chrysotile, talc, or limestone. No amphibole asbestos fibers were found in a Georgia-Pacific joint compound product tested using the acid/base digestion preparation procedure. During simulation testing, the asbestos level in the breathing zone of a worker during the mixing of Bondex Joint Compound ranged from 6.9 to 12 asbestos fibers per cubic centimeter of air (F/cc) (phase contrast microscopy modified by transmission light microscopy). The level was below detection during application. During sanding, the asbestos level in the breathing zone of the worker ranged from 1.9 to 5.5 asbestos F/cc. The simulations showed results that were within the ranges reported in the scientific literature for airborne asbestos levels caused by dry mixing and sanding of asbestos-containing joint compound. The sale of joint compound and spackling sold for consumer use with intentionally added asbestos was banned by the Consumer Product Safety Commission in 1977.

Published: May 2024

This study estimated the economic losses of Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR) caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The PPUR in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines is part of the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park (PPSRNP) and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The lost tourist arrivals caused declining PPUR revenues, affected the local economy, and posed a potential threat to PPSRNP’s environment. The Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) was used to estimate the revenue and tourist arrivals while the Simple Exponential Smoothing (SES) was used to estimate PPUR expenses. The results revealed that the PPUR lost Php 172,997,905.00 which was attributed to the foregone 281,441 international tourists and 335,687 domestic tourists from 2020-2021. The PPUR management could expect Php 2,230.56 as revenue per potential tourists, an increase in revenue of roughly Php 96.7 million, an increase in international tourist arrivals, and a decrease in domestic tourist arrivals from 2022-2024 had there been no pandemic. Thus, PPUR management should forge active collaboration with different stakeholders for sustainable operation in times of economic disaster.

The health of financial performance is a determinant of a company's value. This is reflected as a record of good company performance in carrying out its operations. However, in addition to healthy financial performance factors, corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices are used as a reference for investors in assessing companies to provide funding. This study aims to empirically analyze the effect of profitability and company size on company value with corporate social responsibility as a moderation variable. The population used as the object of observation used is an energy sector company listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2020 - 2022 using quantitative methods with purposive sampling as a sampling technique. Data analysis techniques using Panel Data Regression Analysis and Moderate Regression Analysis (MRA) with the help of Eviews 12. Based on the findings in the study, that profitability has a positive and significant effect on company value, company size has a negative and insignificant effect on company value, CSR moderation variables moderate the effect of profitability on company value, CSR moderation variables are not able to moderate the effect of company size on company value on company value. Thus, researchers conclude that companies should optimize operations to identify profitable growth opportunities, organizational restructuring or unnecessary bureaucratic cuts to improve operational efficiency, and strengthen their commitment to corporate social responsibility practices as an integral part of their business strategy.

Hiányos ismeretekkel rendelkezünk a halközösségek szerkezetét meghatározó abiotikus tényezők jelentőségéről nagy folyókban. Kutatásunkban a Duna magyarországi szakaszán 2004. és 2022. között végzett halfaunisztikai felmérésekben szereplő 20 leggyakoribb halfaj előfordulásaihoz rendeltünk vízügyi adatsorokból, illetve hidrodinamikai szimulációkból adatokat és ezek között gépi tanulás (Machine Learning-ML) segítségével kerestünk összefüggéseket. Az elemzésben független változóként feltüntetett 9 abiotikus tényező közül a sodrás sebessége, a vízmélység és a mederanyag összetétele bizonyultak a legmeghatározóbb változóknak, ami összecseng a korábbi kutatások eredményeivel. Emellett, az általunk készített Random Forest modell alkalmasnak bizonyult adott körülmények mellett az elemzett halfajok számosságának prediktálására a Duna teljes hazai szakaszán. Ezek a becslések az egyes halfajok számára optimális élőhelyeket számszerűsítik. A ML elemzés mellett lehetőségeket mutattunk a nagy teret és időt lefedő halfaunisztikai adatbázis populációs kapcsolatok vizsgálatában (mint például invazív és őshonos fajok viszonya) való használatára klasszikus statisztikai módszerekkel. Az itt kapott eredmények sok esetben összecsengtek a random forest modellel, azonban okot adnak a modell további független változókkal való bővítésére a dunai halfajok ökológiájának jobb megértése érdekében.

Evidential significance of information from communications obtained by encryption application/modified devices: Such as Sky ECC and EnchroChat
Authors: Škulić Milan
Published: May 2024

In the article is presented one view of information and potential evidence from communication, obtained using special devices and applications for encryption of communication. In particular, the phenomenon of the Sky ECC application is explained, which is not only the most commented on in the media, but is current in a whole series of current criminal proceedings, especially in the sphere of organized crime, both in Serbia and throughout Europe, but also in the world in general. After analysing the basic evidentiary rules in the positive criminal procedural legislation of Serbia, which in principle could be important when it comes to the evaluation of the evidentiary credibility of information derived from communication made with special applications for encryption of conversations, in the article are explained relevant examples from the comparative judicial practice of a number of European countries. Very current cases of this type that were resolved in Serbia were also explained. The practice of the European Court of Human Rights, which concerns the possible violation of the right to privacy due to the interception of communications made with special applications, was also analysed. Special attention was given to the opinion of the General advocate who acts before the Court of Justice of the European Union in relation to a series of questions that the Regional Court in Berlin put to that court, which concern the information resulting from the application of the European investigative warrant, which was previously obtained in France by a special operativetactical ways to collect data from communications encrypted by the EnchroChat application. In conclusion, it is emphasized that there is no miracle recipe that will absolutely solve all evidentiary problems that arise or may arise when dealing with information from communications made with special applications for encryption of conversations. The time in which the future judicial practice will be implemented (the basic contours of which can already be seen relatively clearly), and above all the positions of the highest courts of specific countries, including the positions of the Serbian courts, will show the real importance and the degree of relevance of a number of factors, which could in principle have an impact on the evidentiary credibility of such information/evidence. Of course, such judicial practice, as usual, the practice of courts in the legal environment of the rule of law, must arise in legally and fairly conducted criminal procedures.
Criminal offense of forced marriage in international criminal law
Authors: Ranđelović Višnja
Published: May 2024

During armed conflicts in some countries, it became a common practice for fighters to force women to serve as wives. Although there is usually no official conclusion of marriage, in this way a relationship is created that is in many ways similar to a conjugal relationship. In a forced marriage, "wives" were expected to maintain regular sexual relations with their "husbands", but also to perform housework, get pregnant, take care of born children and their "husbands". Having this practice in mind, the Prosecutor before the Special Court for Sierra Leone determined this behavior as forced marriage and qualified it as other inhuman acts within the framework of crimes against humanity. This opened the door for a lot of legal problems related to the "new" crime. Namely, the question arose as to what the criminal act of forced marriage entails, i.e. what is the actus reus of this criminal act. Then, what is the difference between forced marriage and some other acts of crimes against humanity that are similar to it, such as, for example, sexual slavery. And finally, is forced marriage an act that is similar in its character to other acts of crime against humanity, so that it could be classified as other inhumane acts. The paper analyzes the etiological-phenomenological dimension of forced marriages in Cambodia, Sierra Leone and Uganda. After that, decisions of Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, Special Court for Sierra Leone and permanent International Criminal Court are analyzed regarding all disputed issues related to forced marriage: the status of this act in international criminal law, the relationship with other similar international criminal offenses and the concept of forced marriage. Finally, proposals de lege ferenda are presented regarding the definition of forced marriage and its explicit prescription in international criminal law.

Spherical silica particles were synthesized from two different sources, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and sodium silicate obtained from wheat straw ash, respectively. In the first case, monodispersed and microporous silica particles with average particle size of 400 nm were prepared by hydrolysis and condensation of TEOS. In the second case, the silica particles were generated from supersaturated sodium silicate solution. The extraction of silicate solution from wheat straw ash (WSA) was performed by the multi-step sequential extraction using 2,5 mol/L NaOH. WSA silica particles were polydispersed and contain the primary silica particles with average size of ~250 nm and agglomerates obtained by aggregation of primary silica particles, with average size of ~1.5 mm and 5 mm. The silica particles obtained from WSA have the average pore size of 28.3 nm, total pore volume of 0.1638 cm3 /g and average surface area of 23.131 m2 /g. Flexible polyurethane/silica composites with my(TEOS silica and WSA silica) and different filler concentration were synthesized. Dispersion of silica fillers in polyol system preceded the mixing with isocyanate resulted in formation of cavities in polyurethane-silica composite. On the other hand, dispersion of TEOS silica filler into isocyanate which preceded the mixing with polyol system resulted in homogenous and compact composite. The application of silica filler obtained from TEOS at filler concentration of 4 wt.% increased Young's modulus for 20% relative to that of polyurethane without filler. On the other side, the application of WSA silica filler resulted in reduced Young' s modulus probably due to large silica aggregates.

Published: May 2024

Background/Aims: Gastrointestinal bleeding is a significant and potentially lethal event. We aimed to review the efficiency and safety of self-assembling peptides for the treatment and prevention of gastrointestinal tract bleeding.Methods: We conducted a systematic search for studies describing the endoscopic use of self-assembling peptides for treatment or prevention of bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract in a parallel, independent fashion. The primary outcomes were rates of successful initial hemostasis, delayed bleeding, and rebleeding. The secondary outcomes were adverse events and ease and volume of gel used.Results: Seventeen studies were analyzed. Overall success rate of self-assembling peptides in gastrointestinal bleeding was 87.7% (38%–100%), regardless of etiology or associated treatments. Rebleeding rate ranged from 0% to 16.2%, with a mean of 4.7%, and overall delayed bleeding rate was 5% (range, 0%–15.9%). Only three adverse events were reported in a pooled number of 815 patients. The volume of gel used varied (0.43 to 3.7 mL) according to indication and type of bleeding.Conclusions: The limited available data on the use of self-assembling peptides in gastrointestinal endoscopy suggest a high efficiency and good safety profile.

At the same time, questions of functional knowledge and the epistemic privilege of the knowledge that makers have of their products are addressed. Finally, the discussion of artifacts as value-bearers and their normative dimension of technique is analyzed.
Evolutionary computation, an alternative solution to nonlinear optimization problems
Authors: Espinosa García Francisco Javier , Tapia Herrera Ricardo , Cortés Hernández Tonatiuh , Meda Campaña Jesús Alberto
Published: May 2024

Analytical and numerical methods have been applied to solve problems in engineering. However, in some practical cases, they usually fail when there is a certain degree of complexity, for instance, when there is a certain lack of information about the elements of the system and when the unknowns are functions. These types of problems are often called nonlinear optimization problems. As an alternative to solving them, evolutionary computation methods are usually implemented, although they do not generate an exact solution, and provide a series of approximations that are generally feasible. In this context, the objective of this work is to briefly highlight the most typical characteristics of these type of algorithms, some advantages, and the importance of its use today. Due to the wide variety of existing methods, it would become complex to explain all of them in detail, so only a description of the differential evolution (DE) algorithm will be made because it is one of the most used and because there is current research that seeks to improve its performance.

This study aims to identify the challenges facing the implementation process and necessary processes for the successful implementation of Program and Performance Budget (PPB) in Iraqi universities. Employing a qualitative approach, data was gathered through in-depth, semi-structured focus group discussions involving top management and financial department representatives from the University of Baghdad, the University of Al-Qadisiyah, and the University of Muthanna, totaling 30 participants. Utilizing Nvivo software, the data was analyzed to generate a word cloud, where larger-sized words indicated greater repetitions and higher impact rates. Thematic analysis techniques were subsequently applied for a more detailed understanding. The findings underscore numerous challenges in PBB implementation, including issues related to management competence, organizational commitment, financial constraints, and the unique features of PPB. Key thematic areas for necessary processes are the measurement system and the approach to implementation. The contribution of the theoretical study is to supplement previous literature that is concerned with trying to find an alternative to the traditional method of preparing the budget. The current study showed the challenges associated with implementing the PPB in the Iraqi context and the necessary procedures for that.  The study focuses on Iraqi government universities. This empirical evidence contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and processes associated with PBB implementation, serving as a valuable guide for university management.
