Hyperdocument Authoring Link Management Using Git and XQuery in Service of an Abstract Hyperdocument Management Model Applied to DITA Hyperdocuments
Authors: Kimber Eliot 
Published: August 2015

The authoring and management of hyperdocuments through non-trivial development and publication life cycles presents an inherent challenge in the management of the links that make the documents hyperdocuments. When those documents involve the reuse of content within a single publication or among multiple publications the challenge is amplified. There are two principal requirements: managing the resolution of a given invariant address to the appropriate target or targets in the context of a given configuration of the hyperdocument components (e.g., a specific version in time) and in the context of a specific use of a given re-usable component. This is generally expressed as the problems of "version-aware linking" and "use-context-specific linking". Both problems can be addressed through some form of indirect addressing which can solve the use-context-specific linking problem, but does not, by itself, solve the version-aware linking problem (although indirect addressing facilities can be used to represent version- or configuration-specific addreses as an implementation strategy). In addition, there are practical challenges in the human management of hyperdocuments, especially where different related publications have asynchronous or loosely-coordinated revision and publication cycles. Any link management approach must address both the basic challenge of how to represent and resolve addresses and how to support the practical challenges faced by authors of hyperdocuments.
This paper presents an abstract model of hyperdocument management, which satisfies the link and address management requirements, and shows how that model can be implemented in practice using the git version control system (or its equivalent) and a supporting XQuery database that provides essential link management features authors require. Documents based on the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) standard are used to illustrate the problem and solution as DITA provides an indirect addressing facility that both illustrates the problem and provides part of the solution. DITA also enables (and encourages) reuse, providing real-world examples of all the challenging link management use cases addressed in this paper.
Comparing and diffing XML schemas
Authors: Walmsley Priscilla 
Published: August 2015

Schemas evolve over time, and it is useful to be able to automatically compare versions of a schema in order to provide detailed, accurate documentation to implementers. Automatically “diffing” schemas is also an effective quality control technique, ensuring that inadvertent changes were not made, and that all changes made are backward compatible (if that is a goal).
When taking into account the variety of ways of expressing a content model, and the possibility that advanced schema features were used, it is necessary to go beyond simple text diffing or even XML diffing. By first “canonicalizing” schemas to make them easier to compare, and then cataloging the differences between schemas we can answer questions like “Is this schema backward compatible?” and “Is this schema a subset or superset of another schema?”

Published: August 2015

Purpose. To identify and describe homogenous classes of male college students based on their weight-related behaviors (e.g., eating habits, physical activity, and unhealthy weight control) and to examine differences by sexual orientation. Design. Study design was a cross-sectional sample of 2- and 4-year college students. Setting. Study setting was forty-six 2- and 4-year colleges in Minnesota. Subjects. Study subjects comprised 10,406 college males. Measures. Measures were five categories of sexual orientation derived from self-reported sexual identity and behavior (heterosexual, discordant heterosexual [identifies as heterosexual and engages in same-sex sexual behavior], gay, bisexual, and unsure) and nine weight-related behaviors (including measures for eating habits, physical activity, and unhealthy weight control). Analysis. Latent class models were fit for each of the five sexual orientation groups, using the nine weight-related behaviors. Results. Overall, four classes were identified: “healthier eating habits” (prevalence range, 39.4%–77.3%), “moderate eating habits” (12.0%–30.2%), “unhealthy weight control” (2.6%–30.4%), and “healthier eating habits, more physically active” (35.8%). Heterosexual males exhibited all four patterns, gay and unsure males exhibited four patterns that included variations on the overall classes identified, discordant heterosexual males exhibited two patterns (“healthier eating habits” and “unhealthy weight control”), and bisexual males exhibited three patterns (“healthier eating habits,” “moderate eating habits,” and “unhealthy weight control”). Conclusion. Findings highlight the need for multibehavioral interventions for discordant heterosexual, gay, bisexual, and unsure college males, particularly around encouraging physical activity and reducing unhealthy weight control behaviors.

AbstractBrain perivascular cells have recently been identified as a novel mesodermal cell type in the human brain. These cells reside in the perivascular niche and were shown to have mesodermal and, to a lesser extent, tissue-specific differentiation potential. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are widely proposed for use in cell therapy in many neurological disorders; therefore, it is of importance to better understand the “intrinsic” MSC population of the human brain. We systematically characterized adult human brain-derived pericytes during in vitro expansion and differentiation and compared these cells with fetal and adult human brain-derived neural stem cells (NSCs) and adult human bone marrow-derived MSCs. We found that adult human brain pericytes, which can be isolated from the hippocampus and from subcortical white matter, are—in contrast to adult human NSCs—easily expandable in monolayer cultures and show many similarities to human bone marrow-derived MSCs both regarding both surface marker expression and after whole transcriptome profile. Human brain pericytes showed a negligible propensity for neuroectodermal differentiation under various differentiation conditions but efficiently generated mesodermal progeny. Consequently, human brain pericytes resemble bone marrow-derived MSCs and might be very interesting for possible autologous and endogenous stem cell-based treatment strategies and cell therapeutic approaches for treating neurological diseases.SignificancePerivascular mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) recently gained significant interest because of their appearance in many tissues including the human brain. MSCs were often reported as being beneficial after transplantation in the central nervous system in different neurological diseases; therefore, adult brain perivascular cells derived from human neural tissue were systematically characterized concerning neural stem cell and MSC marker expression, transcriptomics, and mesodermal and inherent neuroectodermal differentiation potential in vitro and in vivo after in utero transplantation. This study showed the lack of an innate neuronal but high mesodermal differentiation potential. Because of their relationship to mesenchymal stem cells, these adult brain perivascular mesodermal cells are of great interest for possible autologous therapeutic use.

Authors: Bocar Anna C. 
Published: August 2015

The study aimed to determine the participants’ writing, publication, research presentation, and professional competency. This paper also identified which one among the eight item-hindrances barred the respondents to do research paper writing, presentation, and publication within and outside the Philippines. This study utilized the descriptive survey method. The tool used to measure the educators’ profile is a researcher-made survey form. The participants consist of the 24 teachers with permanent employment status and the 30 probationary teachers. Meanwhile, the instrument utilized to ascertain the professional research competency of the participants is adapted from an online publication with modification to suit the present study. The findings of this study revealed that most of the participants desire to write a research paper. The majority said that to conduct research is very important. Only very few published their research paper in the International and national level. Nearly half of the participants have publication in the local level (in school), and almost similar to these number of participants have not published at all their research paper. The participants’ paper writing interests are present within; however, this interest needs more encouragement to boost their morale.

Authors: Florendo Helena B. 
Published: August 2015

Cigarette smoking is always harmful since it is one of the primary reasons for human death, however, smoking can be prevented. In the Philippines, there are dearth of studies conducted that deal with cigarette smoking and anxiety among college students. The main purpose of the study is to find out the cigarette-smoking behavior among college students and its correlates to anxiety. The researcher used of questionnaires, standardized test and interviews to gather data. Likewise, descriptive-correlational method, purposive sampling and SPSS were utilized. Out of 1,866 freshman students surveyed in Isabela State University Main Campus, Philippines, 286 were current smokers. Findings revealed that most of the participants are in their adolescence stage, male dominated, received minimal allowance, have parents with high educational attainment, and their parents’ jobs require physical labor. Results showed that peer, familial, mass media, environmental factors respectively except for the teacher factor had considerable impact on the smoking behavior of the participants. Findings indicated that most of the smokers have a high level of anxiety. Anxiety is significantly related to the developmental stage when one started smoking and sticks he/she consumed per day. An intervention program aimed at reducing anxiety and cigarette smoking among students need further research.

Extent of Use and Acceptability of HiligaynonHiligaynon as Medium of Instruction in Philippine Schools
Authors: Malaga Ronora S. 
Published: August 2015

There are conflicting views concerning the adoption of mother-tongue based instruction. While there are issuances to use it in teaching preschool and primary grade subjects, many teachers are not lured to embrace it. Grounded on this, the study purported to ascertain the extent of use and acceptability of Hiligaynon as language of instruction in selected elementary schools in Negros Occidental during the academic year 2012-2013. Descriptive quantitative type of research was used with 117 teachers, 39 parents and 39 pupils as respondents. It utilized questionnaire and interview methods for data gathering. Mean, frequency and chi-square were the statistical tools employed. HiligaynonHiligaynon as the medium of instruction was used and acceptable on a moderate level among teachers and parents while higher level of acceptability was exhibited by the pupils. Its extent of use HiligaynonHiligaynon was influenced by gender and assigned school; and its acceptability was affected by the assigned school. Greater confidence in language utilization, the deployment of local learning resources and opportunity for creativity and innovativeness came out as its leading advantages. On the other hand, inadequate information, training and preparation appeared to be its major downsides. For the successful realization of the program, the Department of Education has to carry out significant steps encompassing problem-analysis, placement of appropriate content, adequate materials, clear directives as well as the fitting people to lead the implementation of Hiligaynon instruction. This also necessitates collaboration and higher appropriation for education.

Published: August 2015

The passing of Anti-Bullying Act 10627 in Philippines triggers implementation in different schools and workplaces in the country. This is a call to intensify for the bully-free environment among affected sectors especially in academe. This study described types, sources, and frequency of bullying behaviors encountered by nursing students in their second, third and fourth year of nursing education. The descriptive cross-sectional design is utilized to assess bullying behaviors from nursing students’ perspective. Four- hundred eighty-one (481) respondents experienced at least one or more bullying behaviors from different sources. It also indicated that classmates as the most frequent source of eight out of 12 bullying behaviors, followed by faculty/clinical instructor. However, majority claimed that nothing had been done to bullying behaviors they experienced (f- 156, 15.23%), they pretended not see behavior (f- 155, 15.14%), perceived behavior as a joke (f- 153, 14.94%) and put up barriers (f-143, 13.96%), respectively. The evidence is clear; bullying poisons academic setting, and it can be carried over to practice. Thus, serious attention and management for nursing schools have to strengthen policies/guidelines to bullying prevention. Caring, safe, bullying free environment and collaborative efforts of zero tolerance to bullying has to be established for student nurses in academe.

Authors: Baliton Fructuoso C. 
Published: August 2015

The leader’s style affects the leader’s behavior. The leader’s behavior makes the leader’s style. Encouraging cultural and demographic diversity within an organization helps an organization achieve social responsibility goals and improving cross-cultural relations includes understanding the true meaning of appreciating demographic and cultural diversity. This descriptive survey-correlation method of research aimed to determine whether the supervisory traits of Southeast Asian educational administrators were related to their cross-cultural skills and attitudes. This study aims to provide a list of traits, essential to identify their strongest and weakest traits to set objectives and develop plans to improve their integrity, industriousness, and ability to get along with others in order for them to become successful educational administrators. This may also serve as a feedback for them to determine whether they most likely function well in a multicultural work environment, or they need to develop more cross-cultural awareness and skills to work effectively in a multicultural work environment. Chi-square established that their supervisory traits were not significantly related to their cross-cultural skills and attitudes.

Published: August 2015

Databases for alumni are vital to every learning institution. The data and information are needed by the school to communicate, verify, archive and research the alumni. These are also used to validate the gap between the knowledge and skills possess by the graduates and the required qualifications needed by industries. It determined the effectiveness of instructions in the college and achievement of its graduates. The study aimed to design and develop an alumni database of the University of Cebu that would provide solutions to problems in tracing alumni. The proposed system would enable users to register as well as generate information for the purpose of tracing the whereabouts of the alumni. The descriptive-developmental method was utilized, and two sets of researchers made questionnaires were administered to 95 respondents. Percentages, ranks, and weighted means were used in the treatment of the gathered data. The alumni database was developed based on Commission on Higher Education – Graduate Tracer Study survey questionnaire and was tested by the users based on userfriendliness, system security, and accessibility. The study revealed that an alumni database system is by far a better tool, cost-saving, and time-saving mechanism than the traditional method of recording data. It will also streamline the university’s concern for assisting alumni in disseminating relevant developments to other stakeholders around the globe. The developed alumni database system is highly recommended for use. Keywords - Information Technology, alumni database, descriptive study, Philippines

Published: August 2015

Listening skills of teachers is very significant in the classroom since the students need to be understood and be clarified in their needs. Learning is motivated when a teacher listens to the students and meets the necessities of the students in learning. The purpose of the study was to determine the significance of the relationship between listening skills of secondary teachers and classroom environment in public and private secondary schools of Matanao, Davao del Sur. The study involved 619 fourth year secondary students determined through universal sampling. Employing descriptive correlation with questionnaires, mean, and Pearson r, results revealed that the listening skills of the secondary teachers were related to the classroom environment. It was concluded that the higher the listening skills of the respondents, the higher is the positive effect of the classroom environment to their students. It can also be derived from the result that listening skills and classroom environment are interrelated. It was recommended that teachers should be capacitated to apply the attentive listening and interactive listening skills to upgrade the level of achievement of the students in the classroom.Keywords: Language, listening skills, classroom environment, descriptive correlation, classroom management and Davao City, Philippines
