Authors: Halcon Neil Angelo , Viloria Rulina 
Published: September 2023

The study is a follow-through analysis of past research among St. Bede Mushroom and Vegetable Growers Association (SBMVGA) stakeholders which seeks to determine the impact of the Community Engagement Programs initiated by San Beda University concerning its economic, social, educational, spiritual, and psychological dimensions. It was guided by an “ex-post” impact assessment framework conceptualized by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and anchored on the theory of change provided by UNDG-UNDAF (United Nations Development Group – United Nations Development Assistance Framework). The research aims to: (1) analyze past studies on SBU community engagement programs via documentary analysis; (2) conduct an impact assessment survey and analysis among SBMVGA beneficiaries and analyze using Excel Data Analysis and Jamovi; and (3) generate recommendations for the CEC-SBU to further strengthen community engagements and partnerships moving forward. Upon completion, the key findings include the following: (1) the beneficiaries are willing and able to implement the SBU-CEC initiated programs on their own; and (2) spiritual dimensions had the highest and strongly significant value in terms of impact while economic dimensions had the lowest yet still significant value in terms of impact. Based on the findings obtained the recommendations for SBU as an institution to consider include the following: (1) a gradual and phase-based turnover of the SBU-CEC programs to the local government unit in Pactil, Bauko, Mountain Province is encouraged; and (2) a targeted and comprehensive agreement and undertaking should still be done by the CEC-SBU concerning its service assistance, monitoring and evaluation – capitalizing on SBU’s various clusters and colleges towards its partner communities.
Cosmic anthropological perspective and panentheism on the peripheral pious exercises within popular Filipino religiosity
Authors: Santander Noel 
Published: September 2023

Within various expressions of Filipino popular religiosity are found different peripheral pious exercises. Specifically, they are acts of the piety of the people rendered commonly on religious images, such as touching, caressing, wiping, embracing, and kissing them. These pious actions of the people elicited great objection and even condemnation from other people with different religious orientations. From this context, this research was conducted. It intended to present a different perspective on the peripheral pious exercises of the people within popular religiosity expressions. By applying Ferdinand de Saussure’s dyadic model of sign analysis on collected digital images, layers of meaning about the acts of piety were formed. The semiotic results were translated into deeper but relevant meaning using as a lens cosmic anthropological principle. The peripheral pious exercises were recognized as the unconscious expressions of the panentheistic view of the people. They are expressions of wayless way spirituality that is considered beneficial for progress in the spiritual life of Filipino Catholics. They affirm the very idea that God is found in one’s ordinary life of the believers. They are behavioral symbols identified with and shared by the common people within the Catholic tradition and made Catholic culture more vibrant, colorful, and transformational which affects the inner and outer lives of the ordinary Catholics. They too are expressions of the concept of hiyang that creates some sort of harmony and integration between humans and the divine, which led people to acknowledge their place in the cosmic social order, and that they need to express something to someone whom they can have complete harmony with, God. Finally, they can be regarded as behavioral affirmations of what is naturally true at the quantum level, the interconnectedness of the physical and the metaphysical.
Kritisismo sa New Testament Pinoy version Catholic Edition: Isang suring-salin
Authors: Reyes Marvin 
Published: September 2023

It was year 2018 when Philippine Bible Society released a new version of bible that designed in accordance with the language of the new generation. This is a version that deviates from the conventional way of bible translation, bible interpretation and bible writing. The New Testament Pinoy Version Catholic Edition was considered as an alternative document which has a new or different stylistics that defined the biblical contexts i.e., the teachings and words of Jesus Christ. As mentioned, this is different from what has been the standard biblical version. However, this style of translating has been coincided within two languages i.e., Filipino and English. Code-switching is no longer new as a discourse. It was being used either in technical or creative writing or even in some specific pedagogical approaches. Code-switching in this regard may be considered as form or methodology or technique of translation. But what makes code-switching as a stylistic translation different is that it was used as a tool to translate a very significant document or canon that is considered as the greatest and most notable book of all times. Thus it became a linguistic instrument. This may now be considered that the usage of code-switching is already applicable in almost all discourses including a religious text like the bible.

DIÁLOGO ENTRE POLÍTICA E IGREJA
Authors: Flavio Wender Meireles Paladino  
Published: September 2023

O pequeno ensaio acadêmico tem por finalidade apresentar o possível diálogo entre a Política e a Igreja Católica. Certo é que, em muitos ambientes, ouve-se dizer que a Igreja não deve estar relacionada às questões políticas, uma vez que essas últimas, estão marcadas pelo mal e pela corrupção. No entanto, é a própria Igreja quem apresenta o caminho para uma boa e séria vivência política, radicada na fé, em valores morais e visando o bem comum. Ademais, desde os primeiros cristãos, existem pessoas que destacam-se pelo interesse na boa política, o que foi aceito e ratificado pelo Magistério da Igreja que, percebendo as necessidades dos tempos modernos, orientou os fiéis à justa política e os incentivou na busca por auxiliar os seus representantes eleitos para a promoção da pessoa e do bem comum. Inobstante, a legislação brasileira adota o sistema democrático em sua Constituição Federal vigente, o que possibilita maior participação do povo na expressão de sua vontade através das eleições diretas, bem como permite o acompanhamento por parte do povo aos seus representantes eleitos legitimamente. Dessa maneira, entende-se que é preciso haver maior empenho nas decisões eleitorais, para que se cumpra a vontade legítima do povo e em favor do povo, evitando-se toda forma de relaxamento das leis ou das fiscalizações em benefício próprio, porém, buscando o melhor para o interesse comum da sociedade. Nesse sentido, é preciso que os bons cristãos estejam a par da política e deem bom testemunho de sua fé, moral e bons costumes para o bem da sociedade.

Teacher Motivation and Attrition in Public Schools in The Gambia: A Case Study of Upper River Region (URR)
Authors: DRAMMEH Habibatou , SAMBA Matar 
Published: September 2023

The quality of education offered to children in The Gambia's public schools can greatly be impacted by factors like teacher attrition and motivation. Despite efforts to strengthen the nation's educational system, experienced and skilled teachers frequently quit their jobs. In order to better understand teacher attrition in the Upper River of the country, this study looked at Public Basic and Secondary Schools in the region and evaluated factors affecting teacher motivation and attrition. The study employed the survey research technique with a sample of current and previous teachers. In-depth interviews and questionnaires were used to gather primary data. Descriptive statistical methods, such as basic percentages, frequency distributions, and graphical representations, were used to analyse the acquired data. The researchers relied on the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education and other internet sources to access secondary data. Trend analysis of teacher attrition from 2015 to 2019 was conducted in the region, which indicates a decline in teacher attrition. This may be the result of the ministry's strategy of recruiting teachers based on the regions they come from so that they do not have to travel long distances to attend school.
The study showed that inequality in training opportunities, leadership style, salaries and other monetary benefits, merit-based performance, supportive work environment, etc. are key factors responsible for teacher attrition in Public Basic and Secondary Schools in the region. Most respondents are dissatisfied with the work environment, merit-based performance appraisals, pension and retirement plans and benefits, opportunities for promotion, and management style. However, job security stood out as a motivational package that the respondents regard as satisfactory. Whiles determining the effects of teacher attrition in the region, the study findings reveal that student migration, admissions difficulties, poor performance, wide time–lag in work schedule, and the increase in the workload of teachers and administrators pose serious challenges to the schools. The findings suggest that low salaries, lack of opportunities for professional development and advancement, inadequate resources and support, and poor working conditions are major factors contributing to teacher attrition and demotivation in the region. The study's findings further indicate that the incentive programmes offered to teachers in URR are not sufficient.

Purpose: The emergence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic necessitated the closure of schools and higher institutions worldwide. Most schools resorted to online learning without considering its attendant effects. Most institutions in the developing countries that were stocked with traditional face-to-face learning method migrated to online learning unprepared. The study, therefore, evaluates lecturers’ readiness for e-learning in higher education institutions in Nigeria amid COVID-19 pandemic.
Design/Methodology/Approach: To achieve this, a structured questionnaire was administered to 324 lecturers in selected federal, state, and private universities in Nigeria. The study adopts a quantitative research method. The quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Findings: Findings reveal that Nigerian universities were not ready for e-learning prior to COVID-19 pandemic as the needed critical components to take-off e-learning were not available. Study indicates that resource utilization, resource availability, and e-learning facilitations are the critical factors that affected e-learning readiness in Nigeria universities amid COVID-19. Other challenges include internet unreliability, unavailability of e-learning pedagogy, and lack of prerequisite skills for the instructors and the learners.
Research Limitations/Implications: A major limitation of the study is the failure to evaluate the challenges of e-learning readiness from the students’ perspective. This limitation creates opportunities for further research into the subject matter. Despite this limitation, the findings from the study have potential implications for university management stakeholders, education policy maker, and e-learning implementation in Nigeria HEIs.
Originality/Value: Given the fact that e-learning is still a new method of teaching in HEIs in Nigeria, switching to this method of teaching unprepared poses a major challenge for both the learners and instructors. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate facilitators and beneficiaries’ readiness to embark on this new method of learning.
Macrofungal Diversity in Selected Coastal Mangrove Ecosystems in Guyana, South America
Authors: Sharif Wazim Rafeek , Da Silva Phillip NB 
Published: September 2023

Macrofungi in mangrove ecosystems remain understudied, especially in Guyana. An investigation of the macrofungal diversity in selected coastal mangrove ecosystems in Guyana was carried out, which yielded 19 species belonging to 18 genera, 14 families, nine (9) orders, five (5) classes and two (2) phyla. Majority of the species identified (89%) belong to the phylum Basidiomycota. Consequently, 78% of the species identified were found thriving on the stems, barks and wood above the high tide line, which accounts for the high diversity for the class Agaricomycetes (80%) and orders Polyporales (40%) and Agaricales (25%) since the majority of species are wood-based fungi.
Sampling was done during the dry season from the overwash ecosystem of old-growth mangrove ecosystems and rehabilitated mangrove ecosystems, revealing that most of the species identified (17) belong to the old-growth mangrove ecosystems. Four (4) species (Fomes fomentarius, Gloeophyllum sepiarium, Phaeolus schweinitzii, and Schizophyllum commune) were found in the old and rehabilitated mangrove ecosystems.
Additionally, it was noted that environmental parameters positively and negatively affect macrofungal growth. That is, there is a specific range for each parameter in which macrofungi thrive, and if an increase or decrease beyond those ranges occurs, species diversity decreases.
