Published: August 2023

One country that has high economic potential in the international community is Indonesia. Indonesia is one of the countries with positive economic growth amidst the current global uncertainty. Indonesia's current economic growth is quite high in the region of other ASEAN countries. This study will discuss liquidity, solvency, and profitability on company value with investment decisions as a mediating variable. This research used a quantitative approach with a descriptive quantitative design carried out at the Investment Gallery, Faculty of Economics and Business, Brawijaya University in 2018-2022. This study shows that investment decisions do not mediate the effect of liquidity, activity, and solvency on company value. However, investment decisions can mediate the effect of profitability on company value.
Effects of Unemployment on Economic Sectors: A Proposal for Behavior Analysis with Brazilian Municipalities
Authors: Silva Leandro Aparecido da , Araújo Afrânio Galdino de
Published: August 2023

Although determined municipal public policies focus on the unemployment rate, to understand its determinants, one must assess how the main employment sectors in the country work, and how they affected by unemployment. In view of these facts, it is possible to raise the following research question: what is the influence of the main employment sectors on the unemployment present in Brazilian municipalities? Thus, this research will aim to analyze the effects of unemployment in the main employment sectors in Brazil. The study used data from 5.631 Brazilian municipalities, performing quantitative descriptive analysis procedures, in addition to the development of a linear regression model and a Tobit regression model. The Services sector appears with a positive highlight in relation to the others. Mineral Extractivism, on the other hand, presented a worrying unemployment estimate, being the sector that suffers the greatest impact in relation to unemployment. Among the economic sectors that also presented worrying coefficients are the Transformation industry (0.80) and Business (0.77). The results presented in the research can serve as a basis for decision-making, not only for public sector managers, but also for managers in the private sector.

Published: August 2023

Increasing domestic revenue mobilization remains a challenge for many governments, generally in low-income countries and in Côte d'Ivoire in particular. This work aims to assess the effects of financial development on the mobilization of tax revenues in Côte d'Ivoire during the period 1985-2020. The Granger Causality techniques were applied to data, revealing that there is a one-way relationship between financial development and tax revenue and between export and tax revenue. The results of the estimation of the two-step cointegration model of Engle-Granger (1987) show a cointegration relationship between taxes and their variables in the long term as in the short term. The improvement of financial development and the good quality of national institutions lead to better mobilization of tax revenues. However, the contributory capacity of exports to national wealth positively and significantly influences the mobilization of income in the short term, in the long term, exports become harmful but not significant. The results reflect the non-negligible role of the quality of national institutions in the relationship between the financial sphere and the real sphere.

Genetic Algorithms for Quadratic Equations
Authors: Abbas Basim K.
Published: August 2023

A common technique for finding accurate solutions to quadratic equations is to employ genetic algorithms. The authors propose using a genetic algorithm to find the complex roots of a quadratic problem. The technique begins by generating a collection of viable solutions, then proceeds to assess the suitability of each solution, choose parents for the next generation, and apply crossover and mutation to the offspring. For a predetermined number of generations, the process is repeated. Comparing the evolutionary algorithm's output to the quadratic formula proves its validity and uniqueness. Furthermore, the utility of the evolutionary algorithm has been demonstrated by programming it in Python code and comparing the outcomes to conventional intuitions.

Published: August 2023

We go over the thermal characteristics of graphene, few-layer graphene, and graphene nanoribbons, and we go over some real-world uses for graphene in energy storage and thermal control. The first section of the paper discusses the most recent developments in the graphene thermal area with an emphasis on the experimental and theoretical data on heat conduction in graphene and graphene nanoribbons that have recently been published. In the summary, the effects of the sample's size, shape, quality, strain distribution, isotope composition, and point-defect concentration are discussed. The thermal characteristics of materials used in energy storage that have been increased by graphene are described in the second section of the review. It has been established that the usage of liquid-phase-exfoliated graphene as a filler in phase change materials has promise for the thermal control of high-power density battery parks. The experimental and modelling findings have been disclosed.

A destruição criativa neoliberal contra o setor comercial Sul em Brasília
Authors: Moura Willy da Cruz , Costa Alexandre Bernardino
Published: August 2023

Questionam-se os impactos de proposta do Governo do Distrito Federal para inserir o uso habitacional no Setor Comercial Sul. O artigo busca demonstrar que a iniciativa, apresentada no bojo de um projeto de revitalização da centralidade com alegada motivação de interesse público, tem como único mote o favorecimento do mercado da construção civil e a especulação imobiliária, acarretando, no mais, prejuízos potencialmente irreversíveis de ordem urbanística, social e cultural. A abordagem, ao contrapor a motivação do governo ao conteúdo de parecer do Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (Iphan) que suspendeu a tramitação do processo, revela premissas fáticas falsas, falácias argumentativas e alegações incongruentes que desnudam uma tentativa de destruição criativa e formação de consenso típica do neoliberalismo contemporâneo, conforme estrita receita de violação do direito à cidade denunciada pela crítica neomarxista revisitada pelo texto. Expõem-se os riscos à população do setor (não residente), às atividades culturais e ao bem público consubstanciado no patrimônio cultural, ressaltando a importância da ocupação popular da rua.

Authors: Alencar Anna Karina Borges de , Costa Viviane Barros Amorim
Published: August 2023

Resumo: O Estatuto da Cidade, que regulamenta o capítulo da política urbana da Constituição brasilei-ra, apresenta os instrumentos a serem empregados por planejadores e gestores no enfrentamento àsproblemáticas, como especulação imobiliária, ocupação de áreas ambientalmente frágeis, precarieda-de em assentos informais, sobrecarga do sistema viário, entre outras. O Estatuto, além de apresentartais instrumentos, delega aos municípios a responsabilidade de inseri-los em seus planos diretores,de modo a regulamentar as questões urbanas próprias de cada território. Nesse sentido, faz-se misteravaliar o atual Plano Diretor de Ordenamento Territorial de Teresina (PDOT), aprovado em dezembro de2019, a fim de analisar se este atende aos requisitos estabelecidos no Estatuto da Cidade diante dosdesafios decorrentes do processo de urbanização desigual da capital piauiense. Para tal, foram utiliza-das como técnicas investigativas pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, análise de conteúdo do PlanoDiretor de Teresina e pesquisas de campo para averiguar a realidade local e os principais problemasvivenciados historicamente pelo município. A análise revela que, apesar dos instrumentos estabeleci-dos pelo Estatuto estarem citados no PDOT, estes ainda se encontram distantes de serem colocadosem prática, pois as estratégias estabelecidas no plano diretor, insuficientes diante do passivo socioes-pacial excludente, não refletem a complexidade da realidade local.

Attendance System Based on Face Recognition
Authors: Nabi Md Serajun , Mahmoud Abdullahi Akibu
Published: August 2023

Face recognition is one of the most important applications of image processing in the technical world. The process of identifying students using a face biostatistics system based on high-definition monitoring and other computer technologies is called a face recognition attendance system. A machine learning algorithm (Convolutional Neural Network) has been proposed to utilize the system in this paper. The identification of the human face is a current problem for verification purposes, particularly in the context of student attendance. The methods used today to take attendance are cumbersome and time-consuming. Manual recording makes it simple to alter attendance data. Both
the current biometric methods and the conventional method of keeping attendance are susceptible to proxies. The development of this system aims to digitally replace the outdated method of taking attendance by calling names and keeping handwritten records. The proposed system for this research will help the students get enough time to focus on their studies, which can make them good contributors to our society.

Published: August 2023

This study attempted to investigate the experiences of parents in utilizing children's literature to support teaching and learning. The purpose of this study was to explore parents’ knowledge towards children’s literature and employed qualitative methods as the mode of inquiry. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine Muslim parents from various countries with the aims to investigate the literature’ preference for young children, the main source of literature and the methods used to teach literature. The three found themes translated to our research findings: fiction is the most preferred genre of literature among the parents, Al-Quran and the Prophets’ stories as the main source of literature for Muslim parents, and theatre as a medium to introduce literature. Finally, future researchers are recommended to adapt this study to a larger scale of Muslim respondents to test its confirmability and credibility.

Published: August 2023

The new senior secondary computer studies curriculum for multilingual West African schools came into use in 2015. Since the beginning of its application, there have been few reported studies on the difficulty level of the content as perceived by students, gender equity, and school ownership. The study had two main purposes–to find out (a) the topics in the new computer studies curriculum that secondary school students perceive to be difficult; (b) if gender, and school ownership impact students’ perception of the difficulty of the computer studies topics. Participants were 1,501 computer studies students from nine public and 12 private senior secondary schools in Nigeria and Ghana. About 51% of the respondents were females. Three-quarters of the schools are in urban areas, the rest are in rural locations. Rich qualitative data on the sources of difficulty (unique for this study) are reported. Slight gender differences and marked rural/urban differences were found. Recommendations were made for improving the teaching and learning of computer studies in African schools with the use of Culturo-Techno-Contextual Approach (CTCA).

Published: August 2023

This paper focused on the societal perception of Business Education graduates in Nigeria. Business Education programme is purposely designed to produce competent, knowledgeable, skilful and efficient workforce who can favourably compete with the dynamics of work environment and also become self-reliant. However, most Business Education graduates in Nigeria are not well recognised by the society because of their negative perception towards Business Education as a course of study. The study thus recommended among others that Business Education curriculum should be made more relevant, updated and tailored towards the development of graduates’ entrepreneurial
and employability skills, government should make the programme more lucrative and highly prestigious, teaching and learning should be re-directed from theoretical to practical as this will make graduates of the programme more capable to perform wherever they find themselves and there should be serious public enlightenment on the relevance and prospects of Business Educationin Nigeria.

Published: August 2023

Economic growth and exchange rate stability are each state's goals in the Islamic monetary system. Therefore, there is a need to develop effective instruments to support the achievement of the monetary objectives. This study aimed to determine the effect of Islamic monetary instruments variables proposed by Umer Chapra on economic growth and exchange rate stability in Indonesia, the amount of influence of each variable, and how significant the influence exerted by each variable. M. Umer Chapra is a Modern Muslim economist trying to popularise the Islamic economic system, including the Islamic monetary policy. The originality of the paper lies in its combination of various statistical tests and analyses to examine the relationships among the variables studied. Through utilising VAR/VECM approach, the results showed that deposit money has a negative impact on economic growth while M0 and SRR provide a positive impact. However, for the stability of the exchange rate, all variables (LNM0, LNDM and SRR) shows a negative trend towards exchange rate stability.

A implantação de áreas com o amendoim irrigado na região árida e semiárida do Nordeste brasileiro ainda é limitada devido à disponibilidade hídrica e pouco conhecimento desta técnica para essa cultura na região. Sendo que, a implantação da irrigação na cultura possibilita o cultivo de dois ou mais ciclos do amendoim durante o ano, aumentando assim a renda dos pequenos agricultores que são os principais produtores. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi de avaliar o desempenho agronômico do amendoim em ambiente protegido, sob o efeito de diferentes lâminas de água e diversos níveis de água salina. O experimento foi realizado em casa de vegetação na área experimental do Campus de Arapiraca da UFAL. O delineamento experimental foi de blocos ao acaso (DBC), possuindo 4 repetições, em esquema fatorial 5x5, com 25 tratamentos, totalizando 100 parcelas. Os tratamentos representaram cinco lâminas de irrigação: 224,36; 336,54; 448,72; 560,90 e 673,08 mm correlacionadas com níveis salinos da água representados por: 0,15; 1,15; 2,15; 3,15 e 4,15 dS m-1. Avaliou-se as variáveis: altura de planta (AP), número de hastes por planta (NHP), número de vagens por planta (NVP), comprimento médio das vagens (CMV), diâmetro médio das vagens (DMV), número de grãos por vagens (NGV), peso fresco das vagens (PFV), peso seco das vagens (PSV) e índice de clorofila (SPAD). Os dados coletados foram submetidos à análise estatística e plotagem de gráficos de superfície por meio do software estatístico R i386. Os resultados mostraram que as variáveis, índice AP; NVP; CMV e SPAD respondem à interação de lâmina de irrigação e níveis de salinidade da água. Já o NHP; DMV; VVP; PFV e PSV respondem à lâmina e salinidade isoladamente. Apenas o NGV responde de modo significativo somente para salinidade da água. A resposta de superfície das variáveis analisadas obteve o desempenho agronômico com melhores resultados foram obtidos por lâminas de entre 336,54 e 448,72 mm (75 e 100% da ETc) e a menor salinidade (0,15 dS m-1). Com destaque para variáveis de produtividade, peso verde e peso seco das vagens. Ocorreu interferência direta do alto nível de salinidade na variável índice clorofila (SPAD), decrescendo com o aumento da lâmina de água.
CAPTAÇÃO DE ENERGIA COM MATERIAIS PIEZOELÉTRICOS
Authors: De Freitas Víncentte Weber Batista , E Silva Jusciane da Costa
Published: August 2023

Devido os aspectos ambientais que por tanto tempo não foram devidamente abordados durante a evolução dos processos de obtenção de energia, a sociedade tem, de forma cada vez mais urgente, a necessidade do desenvolvimento de novas formas de captação de energia para suprir suas carências energéticas de forma menos prejudicial ao meio ambiente. Como solução para esse problema, existem as fontes alternativas de energia, que associadas têm potencial de suprir a demanda de energia requerida pela sociedade. Partindo dessa necessidade, faz-se uma abordagem sobre a aplicabilidade de materiais piezoelétricos como fonte alternativa de geração de energia, pois esses materiais são capazes de converter esforços mecânicos em energia elétrica. Um estudo sobre as características dos materiais que apresentam essa propriedade e as relações existentes entre suas propriedades mecânicas e elétricas, além de um dimensionamento matemática, será feito. A partir desse dimensionamento são realizados testes para a obtenção dos parâmetros necessários para verificar a eficiência de um determinado material piezoelétrico, como uma fonte de energia elétrica, vislumbrando suas possíveis aplicações.

A Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) declarou, em 30 de janeiro de 2020, que o surto do novo coronavírus constitui uma Emergência de Saúde Pública de Importância Internacional (ESPII), em 03/02/2020 o Ministério da Saúde constituiu essa mesma emergência em nível nacional. Tendo em vista a premissa de que as medidas de restrição impostas pelo Governo para a prevenção de transmissão desse vírus poderiam interferir no desempenho econômico dos operadores portuários, o presente trabalho buscou, por meio de uma abordagem quali-quantitativa, realizar um comparativo dos indicadores econômico-financeiros das empresas – Companhia Docas do Pará (CDP) e Companhia Docas do Espírito Santo S.A (CODESA) referentes ao segundo trimestre de 2019 e 2020, com o intuito de verificar se houve impacto causado pela pandemia do coronavírus na economia destas empresas. Os resultados demonstraram que para o período analisado, avaliando individualmente os valores de cada indicador calculado, concluiu-se as empresas não apresentaram perdas consideráveis em relação às suas receitas. Tal resultado pode ser atribuído ao fato de que a atividade desenvolvida pelas companhias é considerada essencial, conforme citado na Medida Provisória nº 945, de 04/04/2020, que dispõe sobre medidas temporárias em resposta à pandemia decorrente da covid-19 no âmbito do setor portuário e sobre a cessão de pátios sob administração militar.

LINGUISTICS OF SPONTANEOUS SPEECH: COMPARATIVE COGNITIVE TRANSFORMATION
Authors: Konurbaev Marklen , Ganeeva Elvira
Published: August 2023

The article analyses theoretical approaches to simultaneous interpreting of spontaneous speech and proposes a model of comparative cognitive transformation. The object of the research is spontaneous speech with its characteristic features, which can become an obstacle to successful communication. The subject
of the research is simultaneous interpretation of spontaneous speech at different levels of understanding the original. Сompression as a technique of comparative cognitive transformation is applied for the first time to interpreting oral speech. It allows us to examine in detail how the sense of the source message is formed in the flow of spontaneous speech and perceived by the recipient within the model of comparative cognitive transformation developed by the authors. Interpretation can be performed at different levels of understanding the original through the concept of three circles of understanding proposed in the article.
AUTOBIOGRAPHIES BASED ON MODELS OF FICTION LITERATURE PLOTS IN RUSSIAN MEMOIRISTICS OF THE 18TH CENTURY
Authors: Roshchina Olga S. , Farafonova Oksana A.
Published: August 2023

The article identifies thе alternative changes to the traditional plot pattern for autobiographical narration. Memoirs of the 18th century are based on
the cumulative principle presuming that heterogeneous events (both nation-wide and those of public and private life of the memoirist himself) are described in parallel and in a strict chronological sequence. In contrast to the previous tradition of memoir-making, Shakhovskoy conceptualizes his life as moving from happiness to unhappiness and focuses on the cumulative plot of an adventure novel. He describes only official activity and builds up the plot of the autobiography as a number of series, consisting of structurally homogeneous microplots or plot situations. Happiness alternates with unhappiness both within the series of microplots and in the very sequence of the series (loss of patrons — victories over opponents — victories of opponents — success in the service of Her Majesty). Unlike other autobiographies, The Adventures of Ensign Klimov is based not on the cumulative but on the cyclic pattern of the plot (forced abandonment of the Fatherland and the family — suffering calamities in exile — return). The plot of Klimov’s memoirs is semantically based on the story of cruel fate and God’s will. The memoirs of Shakhovsky and Klimov actually represent two possible options for transferring the plot structure of epic genres into memoir narration: specifically, the cumulative plot of an adventure novel in one case, and the cyclic one of the parable of the prodigal son and ancient Russian stories dating back to it in the other. The use of models of fiction literature plots is predetermined by the authors’ conceptual understanding of their own life history, in contrast to most memoirs of the 18th century, where events are simply recorded as a chronicle and do not line up in a semantically determined plot series.
AN ABORTIVE VOYAGE: J. VON EICHENDORFF’S EINE MEERFAHRT AS A HISTORY OF THE ROMANTIC MOVEMENT
Authors: Cherepanov Daniil D.
Published: August 2023

This article dwells upon time and space in J. von Eichendorff’s Eine Meerfahrt (1836). Eichendorff seldom uses the sea as an element of his fictitious
landscapes; there are, however, a few prominent cases where the sea becomes a symbol of the Absolute, of an element comprising the entire world. Eichendorff rarely uses such an image; he typically relies upon creeks, rivers, streams, etc. The imagery of the novella Eine Meerfahrt provides for an impressive array of allusions to different texts, both by other authors and by Eichendorff himself. In earlier works, Eichendorff used such allusions as a means of discussion, arguing in favor or against certain elements of the worldview expressed in the works of his fellow romanticists. This article suggests that Eine Meerfahrt is different in nature, being comparable rather to Eichendorff’s later works on literary history. This novella is interpreted as a literary ‘biography’ of the Romantic movement. Eine Meerfahrt speaks of a voyage, or rather two voyages across the ocean, both abortive; these are regarded as a symbolic depiction of the ‘promise’ and ‘failure’ of the Romanticism (Eichendorff used these expressions in his autobiographic notes). A change in the narrator’s point of view, which is observed in the last lines of the novella, is interpreted as a shift into the point of view of a historian who is detached both from the passed Romantic era and from the new epoch coming in its stead.
TO THE PROBLEM OF INTRA- AND INTERLINGUISTIC RHYTHMICAL INFLUENCE: PUSHKIN (THE SONGS FROM PIR VO VREMYA CHUMY) AND BLOK (V ETOJ ZHIZNI SLISHKOM TJOMNOJ…)

While literary scholars frequently discuss the issue of rhythmical influence, there is still a need to establish clear criteria for determining such influence. This article suggests examining the processes for developing hypotheses about rhythmical influence within and across languages to initiate a discussion on the methodological principles of comparative rhythmics. Examples are provided, such as songs from Pir vo vremya chumy by Aleksandr Pushkin, where the rhythmical inf luence of possible sources is highly hypothetical, and Aleksandr Blok’s equimetrical translations of Heine’s 4-stressed trochees, including V etoj zhizni slishkom tjomnoj… (1909), which is a clear case of rhythmical borrowing. With Pushkin’s works, the discussion focuses on hypotheses regarding the presence of rhythmical reminiscences from Zhukovsky and Baratynsky in the songs of Mary and Walsingham, as well as a possible influence of English verse rhythm. With Blok’s trochees, his translations of Heine are considered in comparison with the rhythm of the German source and the poet’s original trochees. To assert the fact of rhythmical influence is crucial not only to identify a complex of historical, semantic, and rhythmic factors that support the hypothesis of its presence in the text, but also establish a connection between these factors. It is imperative when dealing with small poetic fragments or fragments with strong rhythmic polarization. When making cross-linguistic comparisons, it is also necessary to consider that independent linguistic factors may fully explain the similarity of individual rhythmic tendencies.

The review analyses the monograph of A.G. Sheshken on the history of Macedonian literature. It is emphasized that the main achievement of the author is the comprehensive description and analysis of Macedonian literature, its periods and most important representatives which is the first in Russian scholarship. The Macedonian literature is placed in the context of the Yugoslavian literature, and the role of foreign (including Russian) artistic experience and translations for its formation is emphasized. The great merit of the book is the coverage of the achievements of the Russian Macedonian studies.
ANALYSIS OF NOUNS WITHIN THE LEXICAL-SEMANTIC FIELD ‘PERSONAL COMPUTING DEVICES’
Authors: Dedova O lga V. , Yuyan Mao
Published: August 2023

This paper clarifies the concept of personal computing devices, which establishes boundaries and describes the structure of a given lexical-semantic field. The material of this study is lexemes beyond the pure professional discourse. Anglicisms had a great influence on nominations in the computer field. And the positive adaptations of loanwords were observed in Russian: word-formative derivation, calquing, game paronymic attraction, metaphorical comprehension. Semantic derivation of Russian usual lexemes is also possible. All this testifies to the significant word-formation and cognitive potential of the modern Russian language.

The unsafe incidents in the Nuclear Reactors at the Chernobyl and Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plants were caused by disruptions to the internal reactor core elements, such as nuclear fuel and the electrical flow supplying the cooling systems. As a result, a complete cooling system failure (blackout) occurred, leading to a significant increase in the reactor core temperature and even the melting of the reactor core. A testing facility has been constructed to study the utilization of large-scale passive cooling systems. This facility is known as the Passive Condensation Experimental Loop (PASCONEL). PASCONEL facility is equipped with components like Pressure Transmitters on Heat Pipe 1, Pressure Transmitters on Heat Pipe 2, Pressure Transmitters on the Main Steam Generator, as well as Inlet and Outlet Flow Meters on the Main Steam Generator. In this research, the approach employed involves static testing of the facility for a duration of 24 hours. The objective of this testing is to gather data that can be used to analyze the performance of all installed components within the facility. The results of this data analysis will indicate whether all components function as intended.

The study examined role of indigenous social organizations in enhancing food security in selected states of in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. It examined the farmers’ characteristics, years of experience and roles carried out by indigenous social organizations, ascertained perceived benefits of participating farmers, and; identified the factors that limit farmers from effectively participating in these organizations. Primary data used were obtained through the use of reliable and validated question instrument. The respondents numbering 224 were selected through multi- stage sampling technique. The generated data were analyzed with the use of descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed that most (58.48%) of the farmers were also civil servants and they (73.66%) were into part-time farming. Participants of indigenous social organizations (ISO) average farm size, farm experience, and farm income were 3.01 ha., 11.4 years and N280,750.00 respectively. The regular activities carried out by the respondents were savings and loans, provision of credits to members, crop farming, supply of farm inputs and processing of farm products (they had means ? 2.00). Perceived benefits achieved from participating in their groups include improvement of farm output, farm income, standard of living and farming skills. The difference in mean farm income between participants and non – participants was N116,964.29 (significant at the 5% level) and it was in favour of group participants. In addition, Logistic regression showed that farm size (b = 1.758), farming status (b = 0.839), farming experience (b = 0.259) and participation index (b = 0.243) were significant to respondents farm income. Based on findings the study recommends the need for the indigenous group leaders to seek and incorporate members’ views in times of designing activities for the group. Also, leaders of the groups should ensure that benefits accruing to the groups are equitably distribute

The study examined graduates' e-competencies required for maximum productivity in the 21st century office. One purpose of the study, a corresponding research question, and one null hypothesis guided the study. A descriptive research survey design was used for the study. The sample of the study consisted of three hundred and twenty-five (325) office administrators in universities in south-west Nigeria. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire titled Graduates' E-Competencies Required for Maximum Productivity scale (GECRMP). The instrument for the study was validated by three experts, two from the department of business education and one from measurement and evaluation, all from the faculty of vocational and science education at the University of Calabar, Calabar. The reliability of the instrument was ascertained through a pilot study involving office administrators in South-South, Nigeria. The data collected from the respondents in the pilot study was used to compute the reliability of the instrument. The Cronbach alpha SPSS statistical procedure was used to determine the internal consistency of the instrument, which yielded an overall consistency of 0.81. The instrument for the study has two parts. Part one sought information on the demographics of the respondents. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the question, and the t-test statistic was used to test the hypothesis. The hypotheses were tested at the 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that reprographics competencies were needed by office administrators for effective discharge of their office responsibilities. Based on the findings, the study recommended, among others, that office administrators should be trained and re-trained in reprographics productivity in modern office activities and that office administrators needed to be equipped with reprographics competencies for proficiency in proofreading documents.
