Authors: Hukom Kenia , Madrigal Dennis V. 
Published: March 2021

Today, stress is growing day by day among students with single-parents, yet the basic concepts to minimalize, endure, and master the stress are often ignored. In many places around the world, students experience significant academic distress, and being unaware of how to deal with it is a serious concern, which worsens the school-setting situation. Education and social support systems are prime movers in developing and enriching students, particularly in adopting appropriate coping strategies. Hence, this paper describes the level of academic stress and the extent of coping strategies of high school students with single-parents in a Catholic School in Antique during the school year 2019-2020. Likewise, it explores the relationship existing between the students' demographics and their academic stress and coping strategies.

Published: March 2021

Disaster risk reduction and management apply whenever naturally caused disaster or calamity strikes. The reason for this management approach is to minimize injuries and mortalities. A large part of the globe experiences increased risks to natural disasters and calamities, including the Philippines, affecting even schools as well. With that, the Republic Act 10121, known as the "Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010," was passed and enacted into law. The utilization of education to build resiliency was given priority. Section 14 of the Act tasked the DepEd, CHED, and TESDA to incorporate DRRM in the school curricula, both public and private, including Catholic schools such as the Augustinian Recollect schools. Thus, this study ascertains the extent of the practice of DRRM measures of Augustinian Recollects schools in Negros Island. The focus of the assessment includes the four thematic areas: prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response, and rehabilitation, and recovery. Also, it explores the relationship between the practice of DRRM measures and the schools' demographic in size, DRRM budget allocation, location, and population.

Published: March 2021

Studies related to developmental psychology have long recognized the importance of motor development but have recently begun to systematically map out its subsequent developmental pathways. In many international studies, finding evidence on the effects of fine motor skills development on children's language skills with special needs (CSNs) has significantly grown much interest. Fine motor skills and language skills play a vital role in a child's early development. Hence, the study describes the level of performance in the fine motor domain, expressive language domain, and receptive language domain of preschool-aged CSNs of a private intervention center in Bacolod City during the school year 2019-2020. Likewise, it explores the existing relationship of the fine motor skills and language skills between the CSN's age and sex before and after participating in a fine motor development program. Also, it determines the subsequent consequences of the fine motor development program on the expressive language skills and receptive language skills of the CSNs.

Authors: Ruña Candy B. , Diamante Angelus C. 
Published: March 2021

Travel preferences are activities and places that people would like to do and go to. Millennials, who are also referred to as Generation Y, greatly impact the travel and tourism industry as they reach their peak earning years and spending power. They travel more frequently, explore more destinations, and constantly search for information and new sensations. Nowadays, they are active travelers who are starting to build travel motivations and influence their opinions and behavior. To tap this market, it is important for tourism stakeholders to understand millennials and their travel preferences. Hence, this paper describes the degree of travel preferences of millennials of a highly urbanized city in the Philippines in terms of attractions, type of accommodation, transportation, food and beverage, ancillary services, and travel budget. Likewise, it explores the relationship between demographics and travel preferences. It also determines millennials’ travel purpose, preferred destinations, travel lifestyle, and other factors that influence their travel.

Published: March 2021

Teachers are influential individuals in the society. They can positively influence various aspects of people's lives. If financially learned, they can become role models for students and help develop a financially responsible family. Thus, teachers are key contributors to the development of society. This study aimed to assess the degree of financial attitude and the level of financial management of public elementary school teachers in Tanjay City, Negros Oriental during the School Year 2019-2020 as a whole and when grouped according to age, sex, civil status, educational attainment, family monthly income, and location of residence. It also sought to establish if there is a significant difference in the degree of their financial attitude and their level of financial management when they are grouped according to the variables. It also determined if a significant relationship exists between financial attitude and financial management. Findings were used for a financial literacy program that seeks to improve the financial attitude and financial management of the said teachers.

Authors: Alonso Fernández Juan Manuel , López Pablo Carlos 
Published: March 2021

Objetivos: El objetivo es describir los métodos de calentamiento y su aplicación para el mantenimiento de la temperatura corporal en el paciente gran quemado.Metodología: Revisión bibliográfica realizada entre septiembre de 2019 y febrero de 2020 acerca de la termorregulación y calentamiento del paciente quemado en las bases de datos CINAHL, CUIDEN, PUBMED, MEDES y WOS en español e inglés, de los últimos 10 años, de los cuales fueron analizados 24 documentos.Resultados: La respuesta hipermetabólica y la reprogramación hipotalámica provocan un aumento de la temperatura basal en los pacientes quemados, entre 37 y 38,5ºC sin origen infeccioso. Para disminuir el gasto energético en reposo y la repuesta hipermetabólica se puede aplicar una temperatura ambiental elevada, como calentamiento externo pasivo, entre 28 y 32ºC. Discusión: Existen otros métodos de calentamiento externo activo que pueden conseguir el mismo objetivo como las mantas de aire convectivo, placas térmicas o sistemas de superficie.Conclusión: Debe revisarse la recomendación de calentamiento mediante temperatura ambiental elevada, que crea ambientes hostiles para los trabajadores y los pacientes, a través del estudio de la inclusión de métodos de calentamiento externo activo.
Objectives: To describe the heating methods and their application to maintain body temperature in majors burn patients.Methodology: Bibliographic review carried out between September 2019 and February 2020 about the thermoregulation and heating of the burn patient in the CINHAL, CUIDEN, PUBMED, MEDES and WOS databases in Spanish and English, documents from the last 10 years, from which 26 were analyzed.Results: Hypermetabolic response and hypothalamic reprogramming cause an increase in basal temperature in burn patients between 37 and 38.5ºC without infectious origin. To decrease the energy expenditure at rest and the hypermetabolic response, it is possible to act through a high ambient temperature between 28 and 32ºC as passive external heating. Discussion: Other external heating methods can achieve this goal such as convective air blankets, heating plates, or surface systems.Conclusions: The recommendation of warming by means of high ambient temperature, which creates hostile environments for workers and patients, should be reviewed through the study of the inclusion of active external warming methods.

Introduction: Febrile seizures are seizures associated with fever in children. They represent a frequent reason for consultation in pediatric emergencies. Febrile convulsions are often qualified as benign pathologies but they are a source of concern, explaining the number of tolls imposed on these children. The aim of the study was to report the practice to a hospital in Senegal.
Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of children's records, from January 1, 2015 to January 31, 2020. Were included, patients aged less than or equal to 5 years, hospitalized in the pediatric department of the Ziguinchor Peace Hospital, for a febrile convulsion. Newborns and children with psychomotor development abnormalities were excluded. We have studied the clinical and etiological data.
Results: We collected 85 (51 boys, 34 girls) cases of febrile convulsions, ie a hospital frequency of 10,6%. The mean age of the patients was 23,6 months, peaking in infants 12 to 18 months. The mean temperature was 38,8° C and the seizure was tonic-clonic in 64,7%. We noted 57 cases of simple febrile convulsions (67,1%) and 28 cases of complicated febrile convulsions (32,9%). The etiology of fever was dominated by otorhinolaryngologic infections (42,4%); malaria (18,8%) and bronchopulmonary infections (08,2%). The average length of hospital stay was 02,8 days. We deplored two deaths (02,4%).
Conclusion: Febrile convulsions are common in children under 5 years old. They are secondary to respiratory tract infections and malaria.
Occupant evacuation elevators as a measure for crowd management and evacuation for people with mobility impairments in high‐rise buildings
Authors: Minegishi Yoshikazu 
Published: March 2021

AbstractFire evacuation in high‐rise buildings has difficulties owing long‐distance descent with few staircases, long evacuation times, and the congestion of evacuees. Additionally, evacuation measures for the elderly and people with mobility impairments are required. To solve these problems, an evacuation strategy in which able‐bodied people and people with mobility impairments evacuate together with standard passenger elevators (EVs) without discrimination was proposed in this study. This strategy exploits typical architectural and EV configurations optimally designed for main building functions and daily transportation demands. The feasibility of this strategy was discussed through case studies of large‐area rental office‐type and mixed‐use high‐rise buildings. At a fire floor, to avoid excessive dependence on the boarding control of emergency service personnel, intensive EV service was proposed. By reducing the waiting time, evacuees are expected to be sober‐minded when entering the EVs or staying on the floors. For the evacuation of the non‐fire floors, the EV capacities are insufficient. In this case, able‐bodied evacuees are encouraged to use the staircases, and occupants in the other zones are encouraged to wait or evacuate with EVs to prevent merging in the staircases. This guiding method using signage and voice alarm system was also discussed.

Abstract1. Leopards are often translocated away from where they are caught as non‐lethal human‐wildlife conflict mitigation. It is alleged that leopards fail to settle where they are translocated to, owing to territoriality. We address the need to publish more accounts of successful repatriation of leopards, but also include novel applications aimed at orphans and confiscated leopards.2. We satellite collared 16 leopards which included a mixture of relocated and translocated leopards, of which the latter included conventional damage causing animals (DCAs, viz ‘problem animals’), orphans and confiscations. We determined standard home‐range metrics and assessed home‐range stabilization as a means of determining site fidelity. Premature mortality and site infidelity, that is homing back to origins, were considered failures. We looked at range stabilization by examining successive monthly ranges against that of the preceding month, that is utilization distribution overlap indices (UDOIs).3. Relocations turned out to be residents (˜3 km, n = 3), while they were immune to intervention, while translocations resulted in 50% success (n = 12), which were invariably confiscated adults of unknown origin, and simulations of natal dispersals of orphans (˜25 km, n = 3). DCAs never settled where released (˜90 km, n = 5). Resident leopards showed high monthly UDOIs, and for those translocated a minimum of 0.15 was benchmarked to suggest range stability, which also reflected large spatial ranging.4. Success in home‐range establishment was associated with landscapes which were unsaturated by other leopards, but anthropogenic threats still persisted, such that survival after a year was ˜45%, but was not different to the normal background mortality of areas outside protected areas in the country. Operations are costly, particularly that to do with veterinary treatment, immobilization, collars and temporary keeping, but such costs can be carried by public interest groups.5. All adults (>3 years) of known origin should be relocated (transported distance < home‐range diameter), while subadults (1–3 years) can be considered for translocations (transported distance > home‐range diameter), while heeding ecological and genetic considerations, and not exceeding ˜400 km. Other non‐lethal mitigation should however be considered before translocation of leopards is contemplated. These findings can be applicable to solitary felids with a similar social organization.

Published: March 2021

ObjectiveTo evaluate Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) infection risk in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Taiwan.MethodsWe identified 24,367 patients with SLE from the National Health Insurance research database between 1997 and 2012 and compared the PJP incidence rates (IRs) with those in 243,670 age‐ and sex‐matched non‐SLE controls. PJP risk in the patients was evaluated using a Cox multivariate proportional hazards model.ResultsThe SLE patients exhibited a significantly higher PJP risk than the controls, with an IR of 2.63 per 10,000 person‐years and IR ratio of 27.65 (95% confidence interval 17.2–45.3; P < 0.001). Male sex (hazard ratio [HR] 2.42, P < 0.01), end‐stage renal disease (ESRD; HR 1.74, P = 0.01), recent use of mycofenolate mofetil (MMF; HR 4.43, P < 0.001), intravenous steroid pulse therapy (HR 108.73, P < 0.001), and average oral dosage of >7.5 mg/day prednisolone or equivalent treatment (HR 4.83, P < 0.001) were associated with PJP in SLE, whereas hydroxychloroquine use reduced its risk (HR 0.51, P = 0.01). Of note, cyclophosphamide was not associated with PJP infection in the multivariate Cox proportional hazard model.ConclusionPatients with SLE have a considerably high PJP risk. Cyclophosphamide does not increase PJP risk. Male sex, ESRD, MMF use, intravenous steroid pulse therapy, and oral prednisolone or equivalent treatment (>7.5 mg/day) are risk factors for PJP, whereas hydroxychloroquine use reduces PJP risk.

Published: March 2021

AbstractAntifouling coatings are often required to have both excellent fouling resistance and mechanical properties for their applications. This study reports a water‐borne antifouling coating consisting of an amine‐terminated hyperbranched polysiloxane and a fouling resistant epoxy‐zirconium particle, where the former is prepared using amine‐functionalized silanes, and the latter is prepared via the reaction of zirconium alkoxide with epoxy‐functionalized silanes and zwitterionic silanes. Such a hybrid coating is transparent (>99.5% transmittance) and exhibits a combination of polymeric and ceramic characteristics, namely, it has not only high hardness (7–9 H) and adhesion (≈3 MPa) to substrates but also good flexibility (≤10 mm bending diameter). The presence of the zwitterionic group allows the coating to have excellent oil repellency and fouling resistance. The effects of composition and structure on the mechanical properties and antifouling performance are investigated. This study aims to develop antifouling coatings to be used in foldable displays, optical sensors, and biomedical facilities.

AbstractThe use of decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) as a biomaterial has been an important step forward for the development of functional tissue constructs. In addition to tissues and organs, cell cultures are gaining a lot of attention as an alternative source of dECM. In this work, a novel biomimetic hydrogel is developed based on dECM obtained from mesenchymal stem cells (mdECM) for cartilage tissue engineering. To this end, cells are seeded under specific culture conditions to generate an early chondrogenic extracellular matrix (ECM) providing cues and elements necessary for cartilage development. The composition is determined by quantitative, histological, and mass spectrometry techniques. Moreover, the decellularization process is evaluated by measuring the DNA content and compositional analyses, and the hydrogel is formulated at different concentrations (3% and 6% w/v). Results show that mdECM derived hydrogels possess excellent biocompatibility and suitable physicochemical and mechanical properties for their injectability. Furthermore, it is evidenced that this hydrogel is able to induce chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) without supplemental factors and, furthermore, to form hyaline cartilage‐like tissue after in vivo implantation. These findings demonstrate for the first time the potential of this hydrogel based on mdECM for applications in cartilage repair and regeneration.

AbstractThe ability to fabricate materials with ultrathin architectures enables the breakthrough of low‐dimensional structures with high surface area that showcase distinctive properties from their bulk counterparts. They are exploited in a wide range of fields, including energy harvesting, catalysis, and biomedicine. Despite such versatility, the fine tuning of the lateral dimensions and geometry of these structures remains challenging. Prepatterned platforms gain significant attention as enabling technologies to process materials with highly controlled shapes and dimensions. Herein, different nanometer‐thick particles of various lateral sizes and geometries (e.g., squares, circles, triangles, hexagons) are processed with high precision and definition, taking advantage of the wettability contrast of oleophilic–oleophobic patterned surfaces. Quasi‐2D polymeric microparticles with high shape‐ and size‐fidelity can be retrieved as freestanding objects in a single step. These structures show cell‐mediated pliability, and their integration in gravity‐enforced human adipose‐derived stem cell spheroids leads to an enhanced metabolic activity and a modulated secretion of proangiogenic factors.

Published: March 2021

AbstractLuminogens with high photoluminescence efficiencies and high triplet (T1) energy levels are desired to achieve high‐performance white organic light‐emitting diodes (WOLEDs). In this work, a sky‐blue luminogen (DCB‐BP‐SFAC) with enhanced delayed fluorescence in aggregated state, bipolar carrier transport ability and high T1 energy level is developed. DCB‐BP‐SFAC exhibits bright sky‐blue electroluminescence (EL) in both non‐doped and doped OLEDs with maximum external quantum efficiencies of 14.8% and 23.5%. DCB‐BP‐SFAC can function as efficient host for green, orange and red phosphorescent materials as well as thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters with excellent EL performance. In addition, fluorescence/phosphorescence hybrid and all‐fluorescence WOLEDs with a single emissive layer are fabricated by adopting DCB‐BP‐SFAC as emitter and host simultaneously. The all‐fluorescence WOLED shows two‐color warm‐white light with good EL efficiencies of 47.1 cd A−1, 46.2 lm W−1, and 19.1%. The excellent performance of these OLEDs demonstrates the great application potential of DCB‐BP‐SFAC in practical display and lighting devices.
