Startups Promotion for Overcoming Middle-Income Trap in the Philippines: Effects, Challenges, and Strategies
Authors:   Swiss School of Business and Management, Geneva/Switzerland, Hara, Ph.D., DBA Masatoshi
Published: July 2023

The middle-income trap (MIT) states that middle-income economies have found it challenging to upgrade to reach the high-income stage over an extended period. Overcoming MIT has long been discussed as an essential social issue related to fewer job opportunities and unstable income, notably in Southeast Asia. Particularly, the Philippines has the most extended history of operating under MIT. The Improvement in ease of doing business (EDB), primarily through startups promotion, is the most significant way to solve the economic development issue. However, much less previous research on the relationship between EDB through startups and MIT in the Philippines and on the development strategy relevant to the EDB for overcoming the MIT from the updated Philippine Development Plan were identified. Tran’s economic development stage model and Hara’s business development model were utilized to examine the predictive relationships between the economic development stage and EDB. Using secondary data compiled between 2002 and 2021, primarily from the World Development Indicators and multiple linear regression modeling, the strength of the EDB through startups predicting the percentage change in R2 variance in the MIT was evaluated in nine Southeast Asian economies. Using natural data, EDB was found to be a significant predictor (F [1, 100] = 9.332 p = .003) and is thus a substantial factor in escaping MIT. Then, using the grounded theory model and observing the initial conditions of establishing startups, a time-consuming procedure with high cost due to the strict regulations for foreigners can be a significant culprit in the Philippines. Also, a development plan for overcoming MIT through upgrading the EDB in the Philippines was demonstrated by conceptually integrating two platforms of economic development and business development through startups promotion into one concept. Positive social transformation emanates from the continued support of revising development policies of startups to escape MIT in the Philippines.

Published: July 2023

Este artigo investiga momentos ocorridos em uma das turmas do curso de teatro oferecido pela Escola Faces, na cidade de Primavera do Leste - MT, sob o olhar das estagiárias que acompanharam as aulas remotamente entre julho e dezembro de 2020. Pretende-se analisar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem em teatro vivenciado investigando fatores que possam ter influenciado o desenvolvimento da autonomia dos sujeitos envolvidos, termo compreendido aqui sob a ótica de Paulo Freire. Consideramos ser possível apontar alguns acontecimentos na relação entre os participantes, permeados pela condução didática, os quais propiciaram condições favoráveis para uma educação transformadora. Estes momentos foram significativos para uma valorização das subjetividades e indiciam o que Jacques Rancière chamaria de uma reconfiguração do sensível em um processo político emancipatório. Nessa construção do vínculo artístico-pedagógico entre a turma, houve concomitantemente o fomento de um caminho para libertação dos indivíduos, em que estes puderam reconhecer-se enquanto sujeitos mais emancipados.

Published: July 2023

Skimming and scanning are reading techniques that involve quick eye movements and the use of keywords to swiftly navigate through text, each serving slightly different purposes. Skimming entails reading rapidly to obtain a general overview of the material, whereas scanning involves reading rapidly to locate specific facts. In essence, skimming provides readers with a sense of the overall information contained in a section, while scanning assists readers in pinpointing particular details. This study conducted a comprehensive review of existing literature using a systematic approach. The systematic literature review (SLR) method entails a structured process of gathering, evaluating, and analyzing pertinent information from diverse sources, followed by synthesizing the findings to draw conclusions. The findings revealed that skimming and scanning are seemingly straightforward reading strategies. Employing skimming and scanning strategies proves effective in enhancing students' comprehension in reading tasks. In the scope of Indonesian students, it was found that the skimming and scanning give positive effect toward students’ reading comprehension, especially in speed reading and reading improvement. In conclusion, skimming and scanning strategies are efficient in reducing time consumption during reading tasks.

Transparency: Should It Be a Stand-Alone Governance Principle?
Authors: Chauke Khensani Richard , Thusi Xolani
Published: July 2023

The topics of corporate governance and transparency are discussed in this article. In recent years, the term "transparency" has expanded its application beyond the realm of non-governmental and supranational institutions and into the fields of international relations, public policy, administrative literature, and non-profit organisations. In order to determine whether or not transparency should be used on its own, qualitative study was carried out. The findings were conceptualised via the lens of corporate governance. The research comes to the conclusion that transparency can be used as a standalone principle of governance and describes three different descriptions of the concept: transparency as a public value that is embraced by society to combat corruption; transparency being identical to open decision-making by governments and non-profit organisations; transparency as a complicated instrument for good governance in programmes, policies, organisations, and countries; and transparency as a synonym for openness. In the first definition, responsibility and openness are described as being interwoven. Second, there is a risk to one's privacy and secrecy when information is readily available. Third, those in positions of power need to be forthright, accountable, and productive in their work. It is not appropriate for the idea of transparency to be a property of corporate governance; rather, it should be founded on the function that transparency serves in corporate governance.

Two-Step Medical Inflation Forecasts: Econometric Performance and Related Issues
Authors: Gilbert Scott D. , Trevino Gene A.
Published: July 2023

This paper examines medical inflation forecasting based on a two-step method proposed by Gilbert (2019), whereby the medical inflation rate is forecast via the sum of two terms: a broad inflation published forecast and a historical average of the inflation gap—this being the difference between medical inflation and broad inflation. In a simple forecasting experiment, the two-step method compares favorably to the one-step method of forecasting medical inflation based on its past values alone. Stationarity tests applied to the inflation gap mostly support stationarity, with a possible historical break. The econometric results generally support the use of the two-step method, with a limited historical window for inflation gap averaging, consistent with Gilbert (2019).
Addressing Injustice in the Medieval Body Politic
Authors: Mews Constant Jan , Neal Kathleen
Published: July 2023

Justice and injustice were subjects of ongoing debate in medieval Europe. Received classical and biblical models both influenced how these qualities of moral and political life were perceived, discussed and acted upon. Important among these influences was the anonymous seventh-century Irish text, On The Twelve Abuses of the Age, a biblically-inspired discussion of the moral duties particular to each sector of society. This volume probes its long influence, and its interaction with the revival of classical ideas. By bringing together scholars of political thought and practice, in lay and religious contexts spanning the seventh to fourteenth centuries, this volume crosses boundaries of periodisation, discipline and approach to reflect upon the medieval evolution of concepts of injustice and means of redress. Contributions address how ideas about justice and injustice were discussed among scholars and theologians, and how those ideas were translated into action through complaint and advice throughout the medieval period.
Preaching the Body Politic
Authors: Neal Kathleen B.
Published: July 2023

This chapter explores how John of Wales, OFM, integrated extensive citation from the De XII abusiuis saeculi with Stoic thought in the tradition of John of Salisbury to generate a new vision of the Christian body politic in his popular manual for preachers, the Communiloquium. Unusually, he prioritized the twelfth abuse, a people without law, rediscovering the original social emphasis of the Twelve Abuses. John probably encountered the Twelve Abuses in the context of the baronial rebellion in mid-thirteenth century England, but used it to encourage guided conversation as a means of promoting moral and socio-political reform, rather than advocating violence. The popularity of his Communiloquium may have promoted wider acquaintance with the Twelve Abuses in the later Middle Ages.
Deniz Gezmiş Takes to the Streets: From Photograph to Silhouette
Authors: Erbil Duygu
Published: July 2023

This chapter analyses the role of media materialities and the means of cultural production in the circulation of the visual representations of Deniz Gezmiş. In analysing the afterlife of the most iconic photograph of Gezmiş, it pays specific attention to alternative media and activist cultures of production that are circumscribed by limited material resources and technical skills. It seeks to understand why the composition was so attractive to activists and the methods by which amateurs remediate and reproduce protest ephemera. It argues that the memorability of Deniz Gezmiş’ iconic portrait is facilitated by its availability for legible and recognizable low fidelity reproduction.

Authors: Zenian Suzelawati , Yang Libao , Zakaria Rozaimi
Published: July 2023

Image enhancement is a significant field in image processing. This paper proposes an enhancement method based on an S-sharp function of grayscale transformation and neighborhood information. Firstly, a function is established based on the sine function. Then, the image threshold is added into the function. Finally, the result grayscales are modified by parameter, where parameter is determined by the image pixel neighborhood information. In general, in the result image, each pixel grayscale is determined by both the sine function with threshold and the parameter . In the experiment results, the NIEM method (we proposed) achieves better performance than the comparison algorithms. It gets the smallest MSE and the highest PSNR, SSIM. In image Lena test, MSE value:330.8151, PSNR value:22.9350, and SSIM value: 0.9451. In image Pout test, MSE value:132.0988, PSNR value:26.9218, and SSIM value: 0.9604.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: Treatment with chemotherapy is the most widely used in almost all types of neoplasms, however, the side effects that it triggers affect the patient's style and quality of life, for this reason the nursing staff must know what their intervention should be with these patients. Objective: To analyze the role played by the nursing staff in patients receiving chemotherapy. Methodology: A study was carried out with a qualitative, descriptive approach, non-experimental design, the databases used included search engines such as Scopus, PubMed, eJournals, Google Scholar and Trip Database, Scielo, Ocronos). A total of 27 articles are included. Results: Nursing care for patients undergoing cytostatic therapy must be comprehensive from a holistic approach. In which it allows to cope with activities that are of the utmost importance for the patient such as reducing the risk of phlebitis and extravasation, controlling nausea and vomiting, informing about side effects. In this way it provides physical, emotional, psychological, and practical support. Conclusion: The nursing role is one of the most essential pillars when providing the care required by cancer patients, allowing maintaining the integrity of the skin, achieving optimal nutritional status, attending to the emotional spheres of the patient, reducing the degree of duration of diarrhoea, correct medication administration and effective communication.

Published: July 2023

Mobile messaging applications are increasingly widespread among the new generation of students in Indonesia. They use michat, line, WhatsApp and the other messaging applications. This study aimed to improve students' vocabulary achievement by using WhatsApp of VII C students of SMPS Panca Setya Sintang in the academic year 2022/2023. In one cycle, the writer used classroom action research on 19 male and 11 female students. The writer sent vocabulary instructions electronically for two meetings. The multiple-choice test was conducted after each meeting. The results showed that 63,33 % of the students could improve their achievement in the second meeting. It means that the use of WhatsApp in teaching vocabulary can improve students' achievement. Referring to the writer's experience in conducting action research, the writer offers a suggestion. It is suggested that English teachers can use WhatsApp as an alternative application to improve students' vocabulary achievement.
Amplified surface warming in the south-west Pacific during the mid-Pliocene (3.3–3.0 Ma) and future implications

Published: July 2023

Abstract. Based on Nationally Determined Contributions concurrent with Shared
Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) 2-4.5, the IPCC predicts global warming of
2.1–3.5 ∘C (very likely range 10–90th percentile) by 2100 CE. However, global average temperature is a poor indicator of regional
warming and global climate models (GCMs) require validation with
instrumental or proxy data from geological archives to assess their ability
to simulate regional ocean and atmospheric circulation, and thus, to
evaluate their performance for regional climate projections. The south-west
Pacific is a region that performs poorly when GCMs are evaluated against
instrumental observations. The New Zealand Earth System Model (NZESM) was
developed from the United Kingdom Earth System Model (UKESM) to better
understand south-west Pacific response to global change, by including a
nested ocean grid in the south-west Pacific with 80 % greater horizontal
resolution than the global-scale host. Here, we reconstruct regional south-west Pacific sea-surface temperatures
(SSTs) for the mid-Pliocene warm period (mPWP; 3.3–3.0 Ma), which has been
widely considered a past analogue with an equilibrium surface temperature
response of +3 ∘C to an atmospheric CO2 concentration of
∼350–400 ppm, in order to assess the warming distribution in the south-west Pacific. This study presents proxy SSTs from seven deep sea sediment cores distributed across the south-west Pacific. Our reconstructed SSTs are derived from molecular biomarkers preserved in the sediment – alkenones (i.e. U37K′ index) and isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (i.e. TEX86 index) – and are compared with SSTs reconstructed from the Last Interglacial (125 ka), Pliocene Model
Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP) outputs and transient climate model
projections (NZESM and UKESM) of low- to high-range SSPs for 2090–2099 CE. Mean interglacial equilibrium SSTs during the mPWP for the south-west Pacific
sites were on average 4.2 ∘C (1.8–6.1 ∘C likely range) above pre-industrial temperatures and show good agreement with model outputs from NZESM and UKESM under mid-range SSP 2–4.6 conditions. These results highlight that not only is the mPWP an appropriate analogue when considering future temperature change in the centuries to come, but they also demonstrate that the south-west Pacific region will experience warming that exceeds that of the global mean if atmospheric CO2 remains above 350 ppm.
High-resolution automated detection of headwater streambeds for large watersheds
Authors: Lessard Francis , Perreault Naïm , Jutras Sylvain
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Streams are defined by the presence of a streambed, which is a linear depression where water flows between discernible banks. The upstream boundary of a stream is called a channel head. Headwater streams, which are small streams at the top of a watershed, account for the majority of the total length of streams, yet their exact locations are still not well known. For years, many algorithms were used to produce hydrographic networks that represent headwater streams with varying degrees of accuracy. Although digital elevation models derived from LiDAR have significantly improved headwater stream detection, the performance of the algorithms with different geomorphic characteristics remains unclear. Here, we address this issue by testing different combinations of algorithms using classification trees. Homogeneous hydrological processes were identified through hydrological classification. The results showed that in shallow soil that mainly consists of till deposits, the algorithms that recreate the surface runoff process provide the best explanation for the presence of a streambed. In contrast, streambeds in thick soil with high infiltration rates were primarily explained by a small-scale incision algorithm. Furthermore, the use of an iterative process that recreates water diffusion made it possible to more accurately detect streambeds than other methods tested, regardless of the hydrological classification. The method developed in this paper shows the importance of considering hydrological processes when aiming to identify headwater streams.
Radiative sensitivity quantified by a new set of radiation flux kernels based on the ECMWF Reanalysis v5 (ERA5)
Authors: Huang Han , Huang Yi
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Radiative sensitivity, i.e., the response of the radiative flux to climate
perturbations, is essential to understanding climate change and variability.
The sensitivity kernels computed by radiative transfer models have been
broadly used for assessing the climate forcing and feedbacks for global
warming. As these assessments are largely focused on the top of atmosphere
(TOA) radiation budget, less attention has been paid to the surface
radiation budget or the associated surface radiative sensitivity kernels.
Based on the fifth generation European Center for Medium-Range Weather
Forecasts atmospheric reanalysis (ERA5), we produce a new set of radiative
kernels for both the TOA and surface radiative fluxes, which is made
available at https://doi.org/10.17632/vmg3s67568 (Huang
and Huang, 2023). By comparing these with other published radiative kernels, we
find that the TOA kernels are generally in agreement in terms of global mean
radiative sensitivity and analyzed overall feedback strength. The
unexplained residual in the radiation closure tests is found to be generally
within 10 % of the total feedback, no matter which kernel dataset is used.
The uncertainty in the TOA feedbacks caused by inter-kernel differences, as
measured by the standard deviation of the global mean feedback parameter
value, is much smaller than the inter-climate model spread of the feedback
values. However, we find relatively larger discrepancies in the surface
kernels. The newly generated ERA5 kernel outperforms many other datasets in
closing the surface energy budget, achieving a radiation closure comparable
to the TOA feedback decomposition, which confirms the validity of the kernel
method for the surface radiation budget analysis. In addition, by
investigating the ERA5 kernel values computed from the atmospheric states of
different years, we notice some apparent interannual differences, which
demonstrates the dependence of radiative sensitivities on the mean climate
state and partly explains the inter-dataset kernel value differences. In
this paper, we provide a detailed description of how ERA5 kernels are
generated and considerations to ensure proper use of them in feedback

Authors: von Witte Gevin , Ernst Matthias , Kozerke Sebastian
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Monitoring the build-up or decay of hyperpolarization in nuclear magnetic resonance requires radio-frequency (RF) pulses to generate observable nuclear magnetization.
However, the pulses also lead to a depletion of the polarization and, thus, alter the spin dynamics. To simulate the effects of RF pulses on the polarization build-up and decay, we propose a first-order rate-equation model describing the dynamics of the hyperpolarization process through a single source and a relaxation term.
The model offers a direct interpretation of the measured steady-state polarization and build-up time constant.
Furthermore, the rate-equation model is used to study three different methods to correct the errors introduced by RF pulses: (i) a 1/cos⁡n-1θ correction (θ denoting the RF pulse flip angle), which is only applicable to decays; (ii) an analytical model introduced previously in the literature; and (iii) an iterative correction approach proposed here.
The three correction methods are compared using simulated data for a range of RF flip angles and RF repetition times.
The correction methods are also tested on experimental data obtained with dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) using 4-oxo-TEMPO in 1H glassy matrices.
It is demonstrated that the analytical and iterative corrections allow us to obtain accurate build-up times and steady-state polarizations (enhancements) for RF flip angles of up to 25∘ during the polarization build-up process within ±10 % error when compared to data acquired with small RF flip angles (<3∘).
For polarization decay experiments, corrections are shown to be accurate for RF flip angles of up to 12∘.
In conclusion, the proposed iterative correction allows us to compensate for the impact of RF pulses offering an accurate estimation of polarization levels, build-up and decay time constants in hyperpolarization experiments.

Abstract. Land degradation is a cause of many social, economic, and environmental
problems. Therefore identification and monitoring of high-risk areas for
land degradation are necessary. Despite the importance of land degradation
due to wind and water erosion in some areas of the world, the combined study
of both types of erosion in the same area receives relatively little
attention. The present study aims to create a land degradation map in terms
of soil erosion caused by wind and water erosion of semi-dry land. We focus
on the Lut watershed in Iran, encompassing the Lut Desert that is influenced
by both monsoon rainfalls and dust storms. Dust sources are identified using
MODIS satellite images with the help of four different indices to quantify
uncertainty. The dust source maps are assessed with three machine learning
algorithms encompassing the artificial neural network (ANN), random forest (RF),
and flexible discriminant analysis (FDA) to map dust sources paired with
soil erosion susceptibility due to water. We assess the accuracy of the maps
from the machine learning results with the area under the curve (AUC)
of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) metric. The water and aeolian soil
erosion maps are used to identify different classes of land degradation
risks. The results show that 43 % of the watershed is prone to land
degradation in terms of both aeolian and water erosion. Most regions
(45 %) have a risk of water erosion and some regions (7 %) a risk of
aeolian erosion. Only a small fraction (4 %) of the total area of the
region had a low to very low susceptibility for land degradation. The
results of this study underline the risk of land degradation for in an
inhabited region in Iran. Future work should focus on land degradation
associated with soil erosion from water and storms in larger regions to
evaluate the risks also elsewhere.
Calling out Racism in University Classrooms: The Ongoing Need for Indigenisation of the Curriculum to Support Indigenous Student Completion Rates

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students continue to experience racism in Australian university classrooms. The Reconciliation Australia Barometer report (2022, p. 5) recently noted that experiences of racial prejudice have increased for Indigenous people with 60% of Indigenous people who responded to the survey experiencing at least one form of racial prejudice in the past six months. Many universities are attempting to implement action against racism and there have been concerted efforts to Indigenise curriculum across numerous universities. But there are many challenges and complexities to this process and more work is needed to increase cultural competency of university staff and students. This article explores findings from a National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education (NCSEHE) funded project that focused on “what works” to support Indigenous students to complete their degrees. This article draws on data from interviews with graduates that highlight the perceived experiences of racism in the classroom from peers and staff and the need for further Indigenisation of the curriculum to improve Indigenous student completion rates. The article concludes by discussing recommendations for universities to create a safer environment for Indigenous students. These recommendations echo previous ones (e.g., Behrendt et al., 2012) yet they have not yet been adequately addressed by universities.

Historia de la Gastronomía Española, la Antesala de la Gastronomía Latinoamericana Actual (Siglo III A. C. al Siglo XVIII D. C.)
Authors: Zegarra Dorado Alberto , Salamanca Castaños Rolando , Fernández Saracho Marcelo
Published: July 2023

Cuando hablamos del origen de la cocina latinoamericana contemporánea, tenemos que referirnos a dos vertientes: la gastronomía prehispánica y la española. La primera se refiere a la forma de alimentación de las culturas locales de Latinoamérica, desde los Aztecas y sus ancestros; los habitantes de las islas del mar de las Antillas; los Chibchas en Colombia; los Incas en el Perú y los Aimaras en Bolivia, sin dejar de lado a las culturas amazónicas. La segunda tiene que ver con las costumbres gastronómicas de la sociedad española que dominó esta parte del mundo en una conquista violenta y a la vez pacífica, desde el siglo XV al siglo XIX. Ambas vertientes en un proceso de interacción continua -¿una forma de mestizaje?- han conformado un arte gastronómico de sabores absolutos, con características regionales y locales que lo hacen inigualable. Para comprender ese proceso es necesario analizar la historia, tanto de la gastronomía prehispánicacomo de la española. Este ensayo se inicia con la explicación de los productosgastronómicos de la cultura española.
