Published: March 2024

START (Struggling Today, A Reader Tomorrow): A Reading Intervention Program was conceptualized to bridge the literacy gap as one of the DepEd learning recovery plans after a two-year modular approach to education. This study explored the experiences of reading remediation teachers and Grade 7 non-readers with the START Program in one public high school in Bacolod City. Conversational interviews were conducted with five teachers and five student participants involved in the program. Clarke and Braun’s Thematic Analysis Method was used to determine the themes. Reliability and validity were accomplished through audio recording, triangulation, bracketing, and member checking. Results identified three major themes related to the teachers’ experiences: the challenges, coping strategies, and insights gained from the experience. Three major themes were also identified from the non-readers’ experiences, including the positive learning environment, the hurdles, and overcoming the barriers. Findings reveal that the START program was a challenging yet fulfilling undertaking for reading remediation teachers, and the START program was an enjoyable and helpful reading activity for students. Reading remediation teachers should consider adopting Project Reach & Teach to enhance the START program, address the needs better, and deliver meaningful reading remediation to non-readers.

This study provides a comprehensive introduction to the combustion of solid propellants. We conduct a thorough review of existing physical-mathematical models related to solid fuel combustion processes. Additionally, we explore the heat propagation within the solid phase, examine the physical chemical processes in the k–phase, and investigate the fundamental solution of the heat conduction equation in a multiphase (k–phase) medium. The heat conduction equation plays a crucial role in governing the temperature distribution within a given material, and a profound understanding of its fundamental solution is essential for various engineering and scientific applications. In this research, we expand our analysis to a multiphase scenario, considering different phases with distinct thermal properties coexisting.

Em 1920, a Academia Nacional de Ciências dos Estados Unidos organizou um debate entre Heber Curtis e Halow Shapley sobre a escala do Universo. Haviam várias questões em jogo, mas sobressaem-se dois assuntos centrais: o tamanho da Via Láctea e a possibilidade das nebulosas espirais serem ou não galáxias externas à Via Láctea. Este episódio ficou conhecido como o grande debate e foi registrado em duas publicações em 1921 no Bulletin of the National Research Council. Além de sua importância histórica, o grande debate mostra os detalhes da construção do nosso conhecimento sobre o Universo.

Concept of Six Sigma is comprehensive for finding the appropriate strategy as of the industry can run as efficiently as possible and survive in an economic wave currently under challenging times, including the tourism industry, which is the object of this research. These papers examine an overview of the empirical study of relationships between six sigma strategies toward tourism industry performance. For many countries, tourism is seen as one of the instruments for developing country because it can trigger new economic activities. Tourism also has assertive economic impact on the balance of payments, unemployment, GDP, and profitability. Unplanned and uncontrolled tourism growth has an impact on financial sustainability. The methodology used in this research is quantitative by distributing an online questionnaire consisting of 16 statement items with a five-point Likert scale. The sample size used for this research is 300 tourism service providers in 10 of the city in Indonesia, which is the leading destination for tourists. This research was processed using smart PLS 3.2.9 analysis tools and methods research in this study using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), namely the equation model with a variance-based approach or modeling component-based structural equations. The findings from this study indicate that the latent variable models are involvement and top management commitment, training and education, cultural change, industrial infrastructure, and teamwork has a fit outer model relationship (> 0.7) between latent variables and indicators of efficacious Six Sigma implementation in the tourism industry in Indonesia. However, top management commitment and industrial infrastructure have a low t value, so of course, this is a challenge and input for developing the tourism industry in Indonesia in the future.
HOW IMPORTANT EDUCATION IS? AN EXPLORATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE DROPOUT PHENOMENON IN EASTERN EUROPE

Early school leaving is a structural problem related to the socioeconomic environment involving aspects of local culture and customs that characterize a country. If not controlled, with the intent of hindering it, this phenomenon can generate unemployment, social exclusion, poverty, health problems and a slowdown in the country’s economic growth. Since education policies are one of the most important concerns of national governments and international organizations, the UN 2030 Agenda, containing the common ambitions of the signatory countries, proposes 17 sustainable development goals and specifically, among these, inclusive and equitable quality education. In some Eastern European countries, the percentage of young people who decide not to continue their studies is really too high, exceeding 10%. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to study the dropout phenomenon in this context. We employ a panel vector autoregressive model in first differences to test complex dynamic relationships between share of the population aged 18 to 24 not involved in any education or training (as a proxy for the dropout phenomenon), GDP per capita (as a proxy for a country’s wealth and industrial modernity), gross domestic expenditure on R&D in higher education (as a proxy for a country’s effort to improve its education system), and share of people reporting crime, violence or vandalism (as a proxy for a country’s social condition). The study concerns 10 Eastern European countries for the period 2000-2021. The results show that the government expenditure in education is negatively related to the dropout rate. Moreover, the increase in the relative number of early school leavers seems to stimulate a worsening in social conditions, with an increase in cases of crime, violence and vandalism. Finally, both an increase in dropouts and a deterioration in social conditions generate negative effects on the well-being of the community and economic growth. Improving the quality of the education system is therefore crucial (this is also confirmed by the variance decomposition analysis), even if it may not be enough: from the impulse response functions analysis, indeed, a shock exerted on the government expenditure on R&D in higher education produces positive effects on the (declining) dropout rate, but only for a short period. Policymakers should therefore make constant efforts to reduce the early school leaving.
TAX HEAVENS: THEORETICAL GUIDELINES
Authors:   Faculty of Economic Sciences, University of Oradea, Romania, GUIAȘ Emil Gheorghe
Published: March 2024

The main purpose of this paper is to study the concept and aspects of tax havens and the attempt of companies with significant revenues to avoid taxation, their causes, trends and effects in the European Union (EU) resulting from tax avoidance or tax evasion behavior. These phenomena were triggered by several factors. The purpose of this study is to identify the major determinants of tax havens in the current economic context. In recent years, the international and European tax policy debate has focused on tax avoidance strategies. Attempts and cases of tax evasion have become more frequent. The development of tax havens has been favored by some macroeconomic factors, but also by the tax non-compliance behavior of companies and individuals looking for different ways to avoid taxation. We examine the theoretical implications of tax haven operations on the actual tax burdens of companies based in Europe. One of the factors that has a major contribution to the development of the orientation trend of multinational and national companies with significant revenues made on the territory of the EU is the degree of taxation. Although this level of taxation differs from one country to another, it is a significant one and is the main pillar on which tax havens are based. This expansion of the phenomenon of avoiding taxation by transferring income to tax havens generates negative effects in the European economy, which leave their imprint on the economy more and more. Since the phenomenon of tax avoidance by directing companies to tax havens cannot be eradicated, it is very important to find measures to limit it. In this context, at the level of the European Union, concerns have arisen for the development of a conceptual, institutional and legislative framework to mitigate these phenomena as much as possible. This phenomenon occurs both within the European Union and globally. The European Union together with the Member States must work more and collaborate internationally to limit the orientation of companies towards tax avoidance by transferring profits to tax havens. In the general context of the globalization of the world economy, the governments of countries that want to increase their tax revenues hit a significant obstacle called “tax havens”. The main finding of this approach is that the EU together with other OECD member states are making diplomatic and legislative efforts to limit as much as possible the tendency to avoid taxation.

Authors:   Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iaşi, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Doctoral School of Economics and Business Administration, Iaşi, Romania, FUSU Grigore
Published: March 2024

The paper presents the process of creating and testing three advertising messages in order to select the most effective way to promote a non-banking financial company on a new targeted market represented by online retailers. As a result of a brainstorming session, three concepts were identified for the advertising message: satisfied entrepreneur, future concept, and the playful entrepreneur. Using each concept, three printed advertising messages were created. To test the advertising messages, research was conducted in two steps. The first step involved testing the messages through a quantitative survey based on a questionnaire administered to a sample of 28 employees of the company. This survey evaluated five dimensions of the prints: identification, relevance, capturing attention, intelligibility, and creativity. The second step aimed to test the efficiency of the prints using the Facebook Ads platform, measuring two metrics: CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions) and CTR (link click-through rate). The results of this research indicate that the advertising message based on the concept of the satisfied entrepreneur registered the best response in both testing methods.

Teachers need to understand that identifying learner development is an integral part of the teacher's duties as an educator. By doing this assistance, teachers can prepare themselves professionally to face the challenges of teaching in the classroom. A professional teacher is one who can identify and respond to the needs and developmental levels of each learner. By mentoring the identification of learner development, teachers can develop this ability early on. Identifying learner development allows teachers to design learning that suits the needs and developmental levels of learners. The training method used involves a participatory approach with direct observation, interviews with principals, teachers and students, and filling out questionnaires in the form of guidelines in identifying the development of students based on their developmental aspects. Thus, this mentoring contributes to improving the quality of learning in the classroom. Learner development identification also enables teachers to help learners recognize and understand their abilities and potential. This can increase learners' motivation and self-confidence. By prioritizing learner development identification mentoring for teachers, we can ensure that teachers are ready to be effective, responsive educators who can positively impact the development of their learners.

Yield Components and Nutritional Analysis of Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) Under Varying Rates of Vermicast Fertilizer
Authors: Dollison Mohammad , Tapas Merly O.
Published: March 2024

This study was conducted in a farmer’s field at Balantay, Dimasalang, Masbate, Philippines, to evaluate the performance of different eggplant varieties with different levels of vermicast fertilizers. The different varieties were arranged in the plot while the levels of vermicast applied were set in the sub-plot using a two-factorial design in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Growth parameters such as the number of days to flowering and plant height at maturity were evaluated. The fruit yield and other parameters like yield per treatment in kgs, number of marketable fruits, number of non-marketable fruits, yield per hectare basis, and the chemical analysis of the nutritional value of eggplant fruits were also gathered. Based on the result of the study, growth parameters, and yield performance, particularly on the number of days to flowering, plant height in cm at maturity period, yield per treatment in kilograms, number of marketable fruits, number of non-marketable fruits, and yield in tons were significantly affected by the varying levels of vermicast application. However, a non-significant result was observed between different varieties of eggplant. For nutritional analysis, it was found that the application of higher rates of vermicast (10 tons/ha) resulted in a higher calcium, magnesium, and sodium content. In light of these findings, applying vermicast at 10 tons/ha as a substitute for synthetic fertilizer in eggplant production is recommended for a higher fruit yield and better farm profit.
Exploring News Media Literacy and its Dimensions
Authors: Panayo Jerrel , Tolentino Cleoffer
Published: March 2024

Our civic and democratic participation mostly relies on the quality of the news we consume. In this study, news media literacy dimensions are explored. It looks at how intrinsic motivation, news media skepticism, and media locus of control relate to one's knowledge of news media. It adopted the measure of news media literacy, which defines who a news media literate is. Through a two-part questionnaire on a media knowledge test and self-reported news literacy dimensions sent to Grade 11 students of a Philippine private high school, results show that the students have a low news media literacy level. The absence of a news literacy course is considered a reason for this. Results also challenge the idea that higher news literacy levels result in higher levels of intrinsic motivation, news media skepticism, and media locus of control. Although the results indicate evidence of these factors, knowledge structure appears irrelevant in one's motivation to consume and engage in news media, levels of news media skepticism, and media locus of control. Recent news literacy studies have identified other factors, such as the need for cognition and social norms, as legitimate considerations when understanding news literacy dimensions. These findings lead to the importance of adding news literacy competencies, which are recommended for the high school curriculum. Further research on other dimensions, such as those identified earlier, is recommended as news literacy is a developing area of news media literacy study.

Published: March 2024

The study examined how participants transitioned from being in a traditional dating setting to an online dating setup when the pandemic struck. An interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was employed to explore and provide meaning to the experiences of eight Filipinos who used online dating through social media to pursue romantic relationships. The study highlighted that the participants experienced both happiness and connection, which led them to become better people because of the online relationship. The participants adapted themselves to the use of technology to express their interest, feelings, and care for the other person by exerting efforts to know the other person, spending quality time with each other, and making sure that communication is always there to make sure the other person will feel assured, cared for, and loved. They have overcome challenges, but there were issues concerning a lack of trust and poor-quality relationships like those of traditional daters in the pre-pandemic period, for which specific approaches to couples therapy have been recommended.

A Qualitative Study to Explore the Perception regarding Challenges and Prospects of Empowerment among Nursing Students in a Selected College of Tamil Nadu
Authors: Mariam Abey Evelyn , C Kurian Achsah
Published: March 2024

Empowerment of nursing students is vital in ensuring positive prospect towards future nursing domain. Empowering nurses early in their learning era ensures building of a competent, knowledgeable, confident nurses pool with excellent decision-making, critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. Descriptive qualitative research was undertaken among BSc and Diploma nursing students to explore their perception regarding challenges and prospects of empowerment. A focus group discussion was conducted for students selected through purposive sampling technique. Audio-recording of the discussion occurred after participants’ informed consent was obtained. The audio-recorded data was transcribed verbatim and analysed using Braun and Clark’s thematic analysis. Interview notes were also used to gain further insights. The data revealed that nursing students' empowerment is hindered by educational, academic, experiential learning and clinical setting. Perception of empowerment varied among the students. Multilingual patients and prodigious patient load are an asset as well as a liability. Short staffing in hospital ward hinders efficiency, thereby precluding opportunities to disseminate knowledge regarding advanced clinical procedures and practices. Self-motivation, initiation to achieve knowledge, and awareness about facilities available play a huge role in nurses’ empowerment.
A omissão do yo
Authors: Alves Rebeca Harapuque Galdino , Silva Júnior Pedro Adrião da
Published: March 2024

É bem verdade que o uso pronominal do yo (“eu”, em português) tem sido estudado por vários linguistas e por diferentes vertentes. Para tentar entender mais a fundo esse caso, o presente estudo visa observar as estratégias de atenuação utilizadas nos casos de omissão da dêixis representada pelo pronome de primeira pessoa do singular em língua espanhola, o yo, sob uma perspectiva sociopragmática. Para isso, aderimos uma metodologia de abordagem qualitativa e, quanto aos objetivos, descritiva, tendo em vista que descrevemos os dados à luz das pesquisas de alguns autores como Cantero (1976) e Serrano (2014), no que diz respeito aos estudos pragmáticos sobre a omissão do pronome; Briz (2005), Gomes (2013) e Benveniste (1976), no que tange aos estudos acerca das estratégias de atenuação. Além disso, e levando em consideração o procedimento da pesquisa, de acordo com os estudos de Bauer, Gaskell e Allum (2002), este estudo se enquadra como levantamento por amostragem, tendo em vista que a análise se dá por meio da descrição das características e do perfil linguístico de uma dada comunidade. Mediante os estudos e análise, verificamos, a partir dos resultados, que o contexto foi o fator que mais incidiu nos casos de atenuação por meio da omissão do dêitico nos enunciados selecionados.

This research explored the impact of digital leadership (principals) on secondary teachers' performance in private schools. The major goal of the study was to determine how digital leaders affected secondary teachers' performance in terms of digital learning and digital support. The targeted population comprised the principals of registered private secondary schools, in Karachi. The participants' pertinent information was gathered via a self-developed questionnaire. It included twenty items selected from the literature and tailored to the researcher's area of expertise. The respondents completed the questionnaire using Google Forms. Data analysis was done using Excel. The main hypotheses were examined using regression, ANOVA, and t-tests. According to the findings, there are numerous important effects of digital leadership on teachers' performance. Digital leaders enable teachers to embrace technology, improve their digital literacy, support pedagogical innovations, develop collaboration, and create a positive digital culture through their vision, encouragement, and facilitation. Educational institutions can develop a cadre of empowered instructors who can successfully navigate the digital landscape and get pupils ready for the needs of the 21st century by recognizing the significance of digital leadership.

The study examined the effect of gender and socioeconomic characteristics on the academic performance of university students, as measured by their academic scores. The study aimed to i) examine the socioeconomic factors affecting undergraduates, ii) investigate the academic performance of undergraduates, and iii) analyze the comparative impact of socioeconomic factors on the academic scores of undergraduates. Data from 480 students enrolled in the BS program at three selected universities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was collected using a questionnaire that investigated the socioeconomic status of their parents. The data analysis indicated that factors such as parental qualifications, parental income, parental work type, and the family's social position do not influence academic performance based on gender. Regardless of parents’ social class, the quality of learning facilities impacts student’s academic success, indicative of parents’ involvement in the studies. It is suggested to provide scholarships and establish assistance programs aimed at enhancing the academic performance of undergraduates whose parents possess fewer resources due to poor income and job positions.
La cultura de la violación en entornos psi
Authors: Guzmán Martínez Grecia , García-Dauder Dau
Published: March 2024

La cultura de la violación es una cuestión estructural y sistemática en las sociedades patriarcales, racistas y cuerdistas-capacitistas. Los entornos psi (psicológicos, psicoterapéuticos, psiquiátricos, etc.) no son ajenos a su reproducción, validación e invisibilización. A partir de una revisión de literatura y un análisis crítico, en este artículo explicamos distintos mecanismos de poder que atraviesan y que potencialmente reproducen la cultura de la violación específicamente en dos de estos entornos: la psicoterapia y la institución psiquiátrica. Reconocemos las acciones colectivas históricas y actuales de movimientos feministas y movimientos locos como formas de resistencia, ya que han problematizado la "salud mental" como dispositivo de poder al visibilizar esta realidad (entre otras) y la necesidad de seguir investigándola. Buscamos hacer eco de las voces que han roto el pacto de silencio.

Esta investigación cualitativa analiza las experiencias interpersonales de mujeres que se desempeñan en contextos laborales asociados a ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas (STEM) en la región de Antofagasta, Chile, y los procesos de agencia profesional que inciden en ellas. Se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad a 12 mujeres profesionales pertenecientes a un programa de mentorías para estudiantes universitarias de carreras STEM. Se indagó en los hitos autobiográficos asociados a sus trayectorias profesionales y se realizó un análisis de contenido. Las participantes reportaron experiencias tales como cuestionamiento de sus capacidades; robo intelectual; violencia de género y acoso sexual. Como experiencias favorables mencionaron apoyo técnico o socioemocional y reconocimiento de las competencias profesionales. Las entrevistadas demostraron agencia profesional en estos escenarios, que les ha permitido permanecer y enfrentar ambientes altamente masculinizados, tales como poner límites, perseverar en torno a metas, validar su conocimiento y desafiar prejuicios. Se discuten las implicancias de estos resultados para visibilizar las desigualdades que persisten hacia las mujeres en entornos laborales STEM altamente masculinizados, y reflexionar sobre cómo fortalecer agencia y también generar entornos profesionales más inclusivos.
Aprender a (con)vivir desde los desastres y desafíos contemporáneos: Editorial
Authors: Baleriola Enrique , Reyes Espejo María Isabel , Espinoza Ibacache Jacqueline , Yáñez-Urbina Cristopher
Published: March 2024

Un estudio reciente muestra cómo hay una suerte de "clima de incendios", basado en una combinación idónea de calor, disminución de humedad, sequía y fuertes ráfagas de viento, que está aumentando en todo el planeta. En particular en la zona costera central de Chile el riesgo de incendio está aumentando notablemente debido a las prácticas actuales de ordenación de la tierra, como la expansión de las zonas de la interfaz silvestres-urbanas (incluido el crecimiento de asentamientos informales en zonas forestales) y la conversión generalizada de plantaciones nativas a extranjeras y monocultivo. Las medidas para hacer frente al importante riesgo de incendio deberían abarcar una mejor planificación espacial; una mayor coordinación, asignación de recursos y participación de la comunidad en la prevención de los incendios, y campañas de sensibilización.
