Exploring the Brand Experience of Recoletos Education
Authors: Almayo, OAR Ernil F.
Published: March 2021

This interpretative phenomenological analysis explores the brand experience of Recoletos Education in the Philippines. Two levels of interpretation are generated: those of the participants who make sense of their brand experience as lived experience and those of the researcher who makes sense of the participants’ interpretations. The four participants chosen via life history homogeneous purposeful sampling have at least 25 years of connection with a Recoletos school. Validated transcripts from in-depth interviews reveal the participants’ convergent and divergent interpretations of their brand experience. Inspired by scriptural narratives, themes insinuate the evangelizing dimension of Recoletos Education as a Catholic school brand. Finally, they also bring about correspondence with brand attributes, synergy and strategy, brand experience dimensions, and brand challenges, respectively, as they also, at the same time, comprise and reveal the single overarching theme: the key elements in the brand landscape of Recoletos Education.

Viability of the Digitalization of Dental Laboratory in Bacolod City
Authors: Mendez Paul Brian S. , Mibato Rizalie N.E.
Published: March 2021

Dentistry has evolved from its origin to the present day, becoming almost entirely digitized and supervised. The digitalized dental laboratory saves time due to computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) technology, which will capture and display clients' tooth or teeth and gums on a 3D image on a computer screen sent to the lab.  It enables a dental lab technician to work faster and get the perfect design of the digital dental restoration. The main advantage of digitalization includes faster and improved efficiency on the turn-around time of devices, like crowns and bridges, and improved accuracy of procedures and manufactured gadgets. Digitalization Dental Laboratory (DDL) is the first to offer a digital dental lab in the city of Bacolod. The service allows laboratories to design the prosthesis digitally from in-house CAD software and email the design data provider or download the data file into a proprietary web host or server. The lab will cater to the digital needs of dental patients of the Multi-Specialty Dental Center (a sister company of DDL) and other dental clients.

Authors: Ballarta Josefina T. , Roberto Johnny T.
Published: March 2021

Job satisfaction plays a vital role in the overall commitment and productivity of the school organization. It is more about individual attitude, an internal state which can mean different things to different people.  Job satisfaction can be a positive emotional state resulting from a personal appreciation of a person's work experience.  Recently job satisfaction has been cited as a possible cause of the current educational crisis among private catholic schools in Antique, which results in teacher turnover and absenteeism issues that lead to poor quality education. Hence, the paper describes the level of job satisfaction and the teaching performance of basic education teachers in Antique Diocesan Catholic Schools (ADCS) for the School Year 2019-2020. Likewise, it explores the relationship between teachers’ job satisfaction and their teaching performance.

Personality Traits and Self-Concept of Senior High School Students of a Catholic School in Antique
Authors: Alavata Ma. Teresa E. , Maravilla Ma. Wilma M.
Published: March 2021

Distinct individuals show different emotional responses and behavior in a different environment. During transitions, students tend to adjust socially, emotionally, and academically. The persons' dominant personality is a dynamic and structured set of characteristics that uniquely influence their environment, cognition, emotion, and behavior in different circumstances. Meanwhile, the word self- concept refers to the person's interpretation or view as to himself. How someone can act depends on his sense of self, which he feels about himself, including power, weakness, and personality. Previous studies do not provide precise or conclusive proof of what personality trait is correlated with the concept of self. In addition, the personality characteristics and self- concept were typically studied by college students and addressed very limitedly in the sense of the senior high school, especially in an Antique Catholic School. Hence, the paper determines the personality traits of Senior High School students of a Catholic school in Antique during the School Year 2019-2020. Likewise, it assesses the level of their self- concept in the areas of self- esteem, self- image, and self- confidence relative to sex, parenting styles, involvement in school clubs/organizations, and birth order.

FREUD, UM PENSADOR DA TÉCNICA: A PSICANÁLISE ENTRE HUMANISMO E FATALISMO
Authors: Rotstein Eduardo
Published: March 2021

Este artigo busca na psicanálise de Sigmund Freud contribuições teóricas ao debate acerca das novas tecnologias e seus impactos históricos. Freud desenvolveu uma série de reflexões sobre a técnica nos quadros de sua teoria da cultura e da psicogênese individual. É possível mostrar que tais reflexões perfazem um autêntico pensamento da técnica, cuja relevância se verifica não só no conjunto da psicanálise como também no contexto maior da questão da técnica, dominado desde o início do século XX até os dias de hoje pela polaridade entre humanismo e fatalismo. O esquema do aparato anímico, a problemática do mal-estar cultural e a interpretação do mito de Prometeu revelam uma dupla função da técnica em Freud, bem como os contornos originais de sua concepção psicogenética: Vista pelo lado da origem psíquica, isto é, a partir de um conflito inconsciente entre tendências básicas da alma, a técnica difere tanto de um instrumento humanista quanto de um processo fatídico.

AS CONCEPÇÕES AFRICANAS DO SER HUMANO: LEITURAS CRÍTICAS À PARTIR DA BANTU PHILOSOPHY DE PLACIDE TEMPELS
Authors: Gondim Elnora , Tendai Chingore Tiago
Published: March 2021

O artigo debate sobre as concepções africanas do Ser humano a partir da Bantu Philosophy de Placide Tempels, partindo da obra African Philosophy: Myth and Reality. Procuramos fazer uma desconstrução e construção da crítica avançada, à etnofilosofia de Placide Tempels na sua obra Bantu Philosophy (Filosofia Bantu). Portanto, falar de Placide Tempels evoca, de certo modo, toda uma série de questões e debates que estão intimamente relacionados com a existência da primeira tentativa de construir e sistematizar a filosofia africana. Na verdade, não se pode falar da filosofia africana sem fazer menção à Tempels em sua obra Bantu Philosophy de (1945). Tempels foi o primeiro autor que trouxe a questão de filosofia “Bantu” à superfície. Neste contexto, a obra African Philosophy: Myth and Reality de Paulin Hountondji, criou um movimento intelectual bastante forte, que despoletou debates filosóficos fervorosos nos últimos anos. No seu prefácio, Hountondji inicia o debate considerando Husserl, como sendo o filósofo que teria criado algumas formas, técnicas e ideias intelectuais que permitiram a filosofia de ser uma ciência rigorosa. Na mesma linha de pensamento, Hountondji evoca René Descartes no seu Cogito[1], onde defendia que todas as doutrinas deveriam possuir um valor, uma responsabilidade intelectual e uma justificação lógico-racional. Para tanto, o trabalho apresenta-se estruturado em duas partes, onde na primeira parte: faço uma fundamentação do pensamento de Placide J. Tempels e da sua teoria sobre a Filosofia Bantu, descrevo seu perfil, sua concepção de ontologia Bantu e a sua visão em torno da filosofia bantu. Na segunda parte, apresento a ideia proposta por Paulin Hountondji e a sua crítica unanimista à etnofilosofia de Tempels, onde apresento as influências que ele teve, a crítica que faz à etnofilosofia de Tempels, aqui invoco vários filósofos africanos que abordam sobre o tema em estudo, e, por fim, as considerações finais.

La mediación policial y su repercusión jurídico-penal: perspectivas y desafíos
Authors: Miguel Sáez Lourdes
Published: March 2021

La actuación policial, aunque constituye uno de los contextos más difíciles para la mediación, se presenta como herramienta novedosa e irrenunciable para contribuir a la seguridad pública y a la seguridad jurídica. En este trabajo se determina cuál es el marco legal básico que orienta las funciones policiales y las reglas para diferenciar los conflictos de carácter público y privado y, a su vez, determinar si son susceptibles de mediación. Se pretende, por tanto, presentar un modelo policial que se encuentre en consonancia con los cambios y problemas sociales, que promueva una respuesta activa ante la mediación en lo que a la justicia restaurativa se refiere, así como que origine los cambios necesarios en la propia organización policial.

Se estudia el alcance con el que se han visto reconocidos ambos derechos a las víctimas y se van analizando las ventajas e inconvenientes que presenta la regulación legal en este punto, para acabar concluyendo que si bien esta es, en general, positiva, sin embargo, adolece de un problema importante: en la práctica, el ejercicio efectivo de ambos derechos por parte de la víctima alófona puede llegar a resultar muy difícil.
La aproximación subjetiva al concepto de «previsibilidad» como elemento de la garantía criminal en el Derecho internacional penal
Authors: De la Fuente Cardona Francisco Salvador , Valle Mariscal de Gante Margarita
Published: March 2021

En el presente trabajo se plantea uno de los problemas a que se enfrenta la garantía criminal en el ordenamiento internacional penal, esto es, el tratamiento que merece la noción de «previsibilidad». En tanto la garantía criminal se había desarrollado sobre la piedra angular que constituye la reserva de ley formal, en su incorporación al ordenamiento internacional este presupuesto se ha visto alterado y se ha tratado de suplir con el recurso a dicha noción. El objeto de controversia es hasta qué punto es admisible una aproximación subjetiva, y no solo objetiva, a un concepto de «previsibilidad» verdaderamente garantista.

Effects of smartphones on economic and subjective quality of life
Authors: Park Yong Jin , Oh Yu Won
Published: March 2021

Popular characterizations of smartphones presume the benefits of their use. To test this, we used a national survey data (n = 1,261) and examined smartphone effects on economic and subjective quality of life. Preliminary analyses revealed significant associations between smartphone use and earnings as well as quality of life. Two-stage least square models, however, suggested that those associations are potentially endogenous, or can be better recognized as ‘chicken-and-egg’ causality. Subsequently, we dissected the relationships into mediating steps and found an indirect effect of a certain feature of smartphone use — texting to diverse people — on earning, signaling that benefits of smartphone are rewarded indirectly through diverse social contacts. We also found the persistent power of socio-demographics in explaining a large variance for subjective quality of life. Taken together, this study aims to take a historical snapshot of smartphone effects at its ‘critical mass’ turn and make a fuller description of how smartphones will be utilized, shedding a light on societal nature of technological benefits.
Hostility online: Flaming, trolling, and the public debate
Authors: Andersen Ida Vikøren
Published: March 2021

Whereas the amount of hostility found online increases, scholarly interest in online hostility is decreasing. In this paper, I discuss three questions central to the study of online hostility, namely 1) what role the text, the speaker’s intention and the targets’ perception should play in definitions of hostility; 2) whether hostility is always destructive or if it can also be productive in public debate; and 3) how to distinguish between destructive and productive hostility. I demonstrate the difficulties in defining online hostility and argue that rather than aiming for specific definitions, we should acknowledge the situatedness of rhetorical practice and, consequently, that the effects and ethical implications of utterances depend on given situations. In doing so, I aim to encourage renewed academic interest in flaming and trolling.
"Parirás com Dor": a violência obstétrica revisitada
Authors: Ferreira Maíra Soares , Gonçalves Eliane
Published: March 2021

Diante de um contexto social em que predominam os partos instrumentais, via cirurgia cesariana, nos hospitais particulares, e a “cascata de intervenções” nos partos vaginais dos hospitais públicos brasileiros, o movimento de mulheres marcou o início do século XXI com a nomeação da “violência obstétrica”. A  compreensão da violência obstétrica abarca desde agressões físicas, psicológicas, verbais, simbólicas, sexuais até negligências nas assistências, discriminação, medicalização excessiva e inapropriada, adesão a práticas obstétricas desaconselhadas, dolorosas, prejudiciais e sem embasamento em evidências científicas,vividas no momento da gestação, parto, nascimento e pós-parto. Os aspectos dessa violência – com imposição de dor, sofrimentos e mortes evitáveis – se encontram legitimados pela ciência obstétrica eautorizados pelo Estado como assistência à saúde sexual e reprodutiva. Argumentamos que a violência obstétrica é um ato misógino de punição às mulheres, resultado de séculos de negação de sua sexualidade e capacidade de decidir. A proposta do artigo é refletir sobre como se deu tal autorização política para violentar os corpos de mulheres, assim como sua naturalização e invisibilização justificadas pela ciência e porcertas práticas obstétricas. Sendo parte de uma pesquisa mais ampla, foram privilegiadas, aqui, análises históricas de cunho feministas cujo acervo de conhecimentos permitiu rastrear o processo de elaboração doconceito e mostrar como as relações intrínsecas entre parto e políticas de Estado, via diferentes assistências – pública e privada –, coordenam a disciplina sobre os corpos expropriados das mulheres.
Textos de divulgação científica na revista Pesquisa Fapesp: Análise do sincretismo em reportagem sobre AIDS
Authors: Cortina Arnaldo
Published: March 2021

Este trabalho pretende examinar o texto de divulgação científica para verificar como os sentidos constroem-se. Para tanto, propõe examinar a revista Pesquisa Fapesp, que, na percepção do projeto, é constituída por textos sincréticos, compreendidos como aqueles em que a linguagem verbal e a visual estabelecem relação de homologação para a produção do sentido global. A perspectiva teórico-metodológica por meio da qual será empreendida a investigação é a semiótica discursiva, que trata o texto verbo-visual como uma manifestação de sentido resultante do sincretismo de diferentes linguagens. Para atingir esse objetivo, o trabalho propõe, inicialmente, descrever e examinar a organização da revista Pesquisa Fapesp para entender como ela trata a divulgação científica e para qual interlocutor se dirige. Em segundo lugar, objetiva produzir a análise semiótica de uma reportagem da revista referida.

Violenza domestica assistita: effetti sullo sviluppo del bambino e implicazioni cliniche per i pediatri
Authors: Albizzati Alessandro , Riva Crugnola Cristina , Ierardi Elena
Published: March 2021

Witnessing domestic violence may have serious negative consequences for the health, development and well-being of children. Only recently, witnessing domestic violence has been evaluated as a form of child maltreatment, considering the effects it may have within the family. Domestic violence is a complex and lasting experience that often results in interruptions, losses and challenges for the meaningful relationships of children. Children have very often feelings of fear, worry, guilt, helplessness and sadness and adopt strategies to deal with such traumatic situations. Moreover, children exposed to domestic violence have a high risk of having delays in cognitive, psychic, emotional and physical development with school and social interaction difficulties, internalising and externalising problems, learning disorders, aggressive behaviour and post-traumatic symptoms. Therefore, it is critical to early identify the signals that children show to help them and their family get out of the violent and abusive environment.

Published: March 2021

Ileo-colic intussusception is a major cause of intestinal obstruction in early childhood. Diagnosis of this condition might be hampered by variability in clinical presentation. Indeed, the so-called “classic” symptoms, namely abdominal pain, red currant jelly stool, vomiting and palpable mass, may not be present. Nevertheless, prompt diagnosis and treatment are critical to prevent bowel perforation or necrosis and peritonitis. Pneumatic reduction of intussusception with an air enema is the usual treatment. The aim of this study is to highlight the main clinical features of ileo-colic intussusception and its management.

Bilateral thalamic infarction secondary to artery of Percheron occlusion: A rare cause of acute coma
Authors: Brady James Edward , Brown Keith Anthony , Shoaib Raqiya , Roshal David
Published: March 2021

An occlusion of the artery of Percheron (AOP) is a rare clinical condition that remains a diagnostic challenge for physicians given its variable presentation. This infarction is a result of an anatomical variant of a single vessel arising from the posterior cerebral artery. Occlusion of the AOP results in variable levels of alteration of consciousness, vertical gaze palsy, and memory impairment. Unfortunately, due to this variable presentation these strokes are often missed. We report a case of a 71 year-old-female who presented with sudden onset of unresponsiveness who was subsequently diagnosed with bilateral thalamic infarction with midbrain involvement secondary to AOP occlusion. Delayed diagnosis can result in poor neurologic outcomes as demonstrated in this case making it imperative to bring further awareness to this clinical syndrome.
Metaphors Trump Lives by: A Critical Metaphor Analysis of Trump’s Statements in 2020 Presidential Election Debates
Authors: Zhu Chunxi
Published: March 2021

Critical Metaphor Analysis (CMA) helps to define the relationship between metaphor, power, ideology and cognition by recognizing conceptual metaphors in text or discourse. This thesis built a metaphor-centered analytical framework which connects discourse, cognition and ideology to investigate metaphors in Trump’s discourses in the 2020 Presidential Election Debates, which shed light upon cognitive structure and ideology behind his discourse. To win more votes, Trump managed to magnify Republican Party’s contribution while masking its defects, exaggerate the disadvantages of the Democratic Party while concealing its merits. Meanwhile, he declared himself one who represents the interests of ordinary people and to fight for their interests. Besides, his “patriotism” and “exclusiveness” also reflected populism characteristics.
Bopopia, a new monotypic genus of Gesneriaceae (Gesnerioideae, Coronanthereae) from New Caledonia

A new genus of Gesneriaceae, Bopopia Munzinger & J.R.Morel gen. nov., is described from New Caledonia. The genus is based on B. parviflora Munzinger & J.R.Morel gen. et sp. nov., a new species collected during an expedition on Mt Katalupaik, in the North Province of New Caledonia’s main island. Originally considered as a species of Coronanthera, our phylogenetic analysis – including 19 species within Coronanthereae and two individuals of B. parviflora gen. et sp. nov., and using three molecular markers (nuclear rDNA ITS, and chloroplast regions trnL-trnF and trnE-trnT) – showed that the new species is not close to Coronanthera in subtribe Coronantherinae, but belongs to subtribe Negriinae where it is sister to Depanthus. From that genus Bopopia gen. nov. differs in floral symmetry (zygomorphic vs actinomorphic) and the number of stamens (4 vs 5). From the other genera of Negriinae the new genus differs in the white corolla and its indeterminate thyrse with 3 to 5 levels of branching. The morphological circumscription of the subtribe Negriinae is amended to include Bopopia gen. nov. Two keys are provided, one to the subtribes in the tribe Coronanthereae, and one to the genera in subtribe Negriinae. Following the IUCN Red List categories and criteria, the conservation status of B. parviflora gen. et sp. nov. is provisionally assessed as Endangered (EN).

This article describes the design of a high cadence laser micro-drilling machine for the manufacture of large micro-drilled panels, which will form part of the leading edge of tail stabilisers on future commercial aircraft. This type of microperforated surface will be of great interest mainly in the aeronautical field, since it will improve the aerodynamic performance of the aircrafts supposing a fuel saving of up to 10 %. Manufacturing requirements demand through-holes of around 0.1 mm at a cadence equal to or greater than 300 holes per second. The quality of each of the holes, as well as the precision of the distance between them has been decisive in the design phase. The machine will be equipped with on-site measurement and defect detection systems to ensure the quality of the holes.

The Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by a difficulty in processing feedback regarding the current state of the concentration of an individual. One of the main lines of research in the treatment of ADHD involved the employment of electroencephalography (EEG) Neurofeedback as a means of providing a quantification and representation of the concentration level. The current investigation constitutes a first step in developing an application of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems aiding in the treatment of ADHD employing a Brain Computer Interface, based on the measurements detected by an EEG sensor. These measurements modify the flight height of a quadrotor according to the signal evaluation. In order to develop the proposed system, a real-time mechanism for processing and classifying the electrophysiological artifacts has been developed. Finally, the processed signals are then fed into the aircraft controller, modifying the aircraft flight and thus providing the desired feedback to the user.

Published: March 2021

The development of renewable energies has been highlighted as a driver of the energy transition towards a more sustainable society. Despite the well-known benefits in health and regional energy resilience when those sources are leveraged, wind- and solar-based technologies bring about flexibility challenges in the power system. The variability in the generation of energy from renewable sources is probably its greatest weakness. This problem can be alleviated in different ways, but a detailed statistical analysis of the situation in each country is necessary to find the optimal solution in each case. This article analyses, from historical data and possible scenarios, some consequences that must be taken into account in the growth of electric power generation with renewable sources. Many assessment reports have been published to analyse high shares of the variable renewable energy supply (VRES) contribution in the electricity mix. This article aims to improve the accuracy in such reports through a novel analysis tool. Hourly timescale and the use of kernel probability distributions allow the well-represented supply and demand profiles necessary for an in-depth insight into electricity management. Spain offers multiple peculiarities which make our native region of interest for research activities. Here, an official report is analysed for three case studies: Spain as an energetic island without storage; Spain as an energetic island with storage; and Spain with both storage and international interconnections. According to this scenario, in 2050, the results indicate an underestimation of VRE generation (19% of renewable overcapacity) leading to very important challenges to the power system operator in the management of situations with 19 consecutive hours of electricity overproduction. In addition, a common output deserves attention: facing such scenarios with very high shares of VRES, more flexibility is required in the power system in order to be efficient in progressive electricity development.
