BACKGROUND: The Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) has been linked with better cognitive function and brain integrity. OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of modified Mediterranean diet (mMedDiet) scores from early through middle adulthood in relation to volumetric and microstructural midlife MRI brain measures. Assess the association of mMedDiet and brain measures with four cognitive domains. If variables are correlated, determine if brain measures mediate the relationship between mMedDiet and cognition. METHODS: 618 participants (mean age 25.4±3.5 at year 0) of the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study were included. Cumulative average mMedDiet scores were calculated by averaging scores from years 0, 7, and 20. MRI scans were obtained at years 25 and 30. General linear models were used to examine the association between mMedDiet and brain measures. RESULTS: Higher cumulative average mMedDiet scores were associated with better microstructural white matter (WM) integrity measured by fractional anisotropy (FA) at years 25 and 30 (all ptrend <0.05). Higher mMedDiet scores at year 7 were associated with higher WM FA at year 25 (β= 0.003, ptrend = 0.03). Higher mMedDiet scores at year 20 associated with higher WM FA at years 25 (β= 0.0005, ptrend = 0.002) and 30 (β= 0.0003, ptrend = 0.02). mMedDiet scores were not associated with brain volumes. Higher mMedDiet scores and WM FA were both correlated with better executive function, processing speed, and global cognition (all ptrend <0.05). WM FA did not mediate the association between mMedDiet scores and cognition. CONCLUSIONS: mMedDiet scores may be associated with microstructural WM integrity at midlife.

Published: July 2023

This study revealed the results of simulating the techniques for eliminate cluster initialization in clustering through series of test of different clustering techniques. Clusters of similar database schema from heterogeneous data sources was successfully clustered at an improved accuracy of 93.33%. The accuracy of clusters using self-organizing map neural network (SOM) was improved by implementing the two-step clustering method prior to SOM with an accuracy of 93.33 percent, an increase of 6.33% from the clustering result of SOM. Agglomerative clustering with hierarchical clustering are best combined to come-up with an automatic clustering task, thus, initialization was eliminated.

Increasing Mathematics Performance of Grade 8 Learners through Computer-Based Interactive Learning Activities
Authors: Mengote Proceso L. 
Published: July 2023

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Computer-Based Interactive Learning Activities (CBILA) in Increasing Mathematics Performance of Grade 8 Learners. The pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design and purposive sampling technique were used. There were 80 heterogeneous learners involved in this study, 40 students in the CBILA group and 40 students in the Traditional Methods of Teaching (TMT) group. The experimental group was exposed to CBILA with guided learning materials that include activities and exercises in audio-visual presentations and interactive multimedia format. The scores were taken from the pretest-posttest of Quarter 4 Math 8 subject. Students’ performance in mathematics was described from the mean scores. A t-test analysis was conducted to determine the significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores of the two groups. Findings showed that before the conduct of the study, the two groups have the same performance at the beginning of the experiment. The posttest scores in the CBILA group were noted to be significantly better compared with those in the TMT group. The performance in Mathematics of the learners taught using CBILA was better than those students taught using TMT. The results of this study showed that technology-based teaching and learning when introduced to and utilized by learners were effective in increasing the mean percentage score. Hence, it is recommended to use CBILA in other learning areas to confirm the result of the experiment. Furthermore, CBILA can be implemented in other schools to supplement its effectiveness and to maximize its use in the future.

Published: July 2023

The emergence of technology is intensifying and changing the realm of education, thereby calling for a new leadership approach to champion change. This study identified the technology leadership competencies of people in key positions from selected public and private senior high schools in the National Capital Region and are offering a technology-vocational-livelihood track with the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) strand; described the challenges and recommended a framework for technology leadership competencies. A qualitative research method using a phenomenological approach was employed with triangulation as a data-gathering technique. Results show competencies identified were on: leadership and vision (support initiatives for state-of-the-art and collaboration with other institutions); teaching and learning (implement blended/ flexible learning, use of differentiated instruction); productivity and professional practice (collaborate using technologies, continuing professional development); support, management and operation (policy implementation, technology resource maintenance); assessment and evaluation (initiate technology innovation, data management); and social, legal and ethical issues (promoting data privacy, appropriate electronic waste disposal). Financial constraints, limited facility, computer illiteracy, minimal administrative support for a number of respondents, and limited time appeared to be the challenges. The technology leadership competencies and the challenges pointed out the areas necessary for the development of the framework. These areas are Vision, Utilization, Motivation, Collaboration, and Sustainability. VUMoCoS framework was formulated for technology leadership competencies in the Philippines.

Noken dan korupsi: Degradasi nilai budaya antikorupsi pada era otonomi khusus di Papua
Authors: Bao Bonefasius , Paramma PRT. , Nurak Anitha , Ayomi Hendrik Vallen 
Published: July 2023

Dimasa lampau orang-orang asli Papua (indigenous Papuan) memiliki cara yang unik dalam budayanya untuk mengajarkan nilai-nilai kerja keras, kejujuran, keterbukaaan, dan kewibawaan. Nilai-nilai ini terkandung dalam noken. Noken adalah produk kerajinan tangan terbuat dari bahan alami yang fungsi-nya sama seperti kantung digunakan untuk mengisi hasil panen, barang-barang belanjaan, kebutuhan pribadi dan dipakai dalam upacara sebagai cenderamata serta sebagai aksesoris untuk kaum perempuan. Filosofi Noken ini sarat nilai, termasuk dalam hal transparansi dan integritas yang mana orang Papua telah diajarkan budaya antikorupsi sejak awal. Namun hal tersebut kontradiktif dengan keadaan masa kini, dima-na praktek korupsi meningkat terutama dikalangan pemangku jabatan publik. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis degradasi budaya antikorupsi pasca pemberlakuan otonomi khusus Papua dengan menguna-kan perspektif kualitatif yaitu menggali informasi dari informan terpilih melalui diskusi kelompok terbatas (FGD) dan wawancara (in-depth interview). Hasil studi ini menunjukkan bahwa penyebab degradasi budaya antikorupsi karena adanya perubahan gaya hidup konsumtif dan lemahnya pengawasan, sistem politik ber-biaya tinggi dan alur birokrasi yang berbelit-belit. Konsekuensinya adalah pudarnya budaya antikorupsi berbasis noken, ketergantungan terhadap dana otonomi khusus dan semakin menajamnya konflik sosial. Untuk itu dibutuhkan political dan good will pemangku kepentingan untuk merevitalisasi nilai-nilai luhur Noken melalui internalisasi nilai dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat.

Who cares for the mothers?: A narrative inquiry exploring substance use disorders among pregnant women
Authors: Bigalky Jodie 
Published: July 2023

Background: The nexus between pregnancy and substance use disorders is usually studied from the perspective of the fetus, quantitatively examining the risks associated with in utero substance exposure. There is little regard for the mother and her experience. With an awareness of some of the challenges pregnant women with substance use disorders face, the purpose of this research was to explore how pregnancy and substance use disorders are situated within motherhood and to identify opportunities to shift the understanding of women’s experiences among health care professionals so more supportive care can be offered. Methods: Narrative inquiry was used for this research. The researcher engaged with three pregnant women who self-identified as having a substance use disorder. Formal and informal conversations, field notes, and a research journal were used to collect data. Narratives were co-constructed between the researcher and each woman.
Results: The results are presented as excerpts from each woman’s narrative. Narratives extended beyond pregnancy and into a period of conditional motherhood where women were forced to meet state mandated conditions or risk loss of motherhood. Sobriety was fragile and impacted by stressful events such as child apprehension and treatment programs did not meet the needs of mothers. Conclusions: Ongoing, comprehensive services that support pregnant women and are continued into the postpartum period are needed. Peer support models may be an effective means for providing pregnancy specific substance use treatment. Treatment programs must be accessible and meet the distinct needs of women. Extensive breastfeeding support should be considered for women in recovery to promote mother infant attachment.
Musical sources – meaning of the term in bibliology and museology
Authors: Łubocki Jakub Maciej 
Published: July 2023

Although it may seem improbable, various types of musical sources can also be found in the collection of the Publishing Art Department of the National Museum in Wrocław. They are not only music sheets and songbooks, but also written documents related to musical works or people of music, and in the future, they could be even printed elements of sound documents or ephemeras related to music life. This was the reason for the general reflection on the understanding of the term “musical sources” (“musicals”) and its meaning in relation to the universes of music and publishing art. Then, basic categories of museum objects that are simultaneously from both universes – music and publishing art – were presented (with examples).

Authors: Tenecela Valencia Esthefany Michelle , Ortiz Tejedor Jonnathan Gerardo 
Published: July 2023

Introducción. La leche cruda es una fuente de alimento y existe la posibilidad de contaminación por microorganismos al ser ordeñada de manera manual. Sin embargo, puede contener bacterias como Staphylococcus aureus, coliformes totales y Escherichia coli que son responsables de causar numerosas enfermedades transmitidas por los alimentos. Objetivo. Identificar Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli y Coliformes totales mediante el empleo de placas de Compact Dry X-SA y EC a partir de muestras de leche cruda expedida en Tarqui-Ecuador. Metodología. Estudio de corte transversal y observacional descriptivo. El universo de estudio lo conformará la leche cruda expedida en Tarqui- Ecuador. Se realizará un muestreo de tipo no probabilístico por conveniencia, para la obtención de 20 muestras de leche cruda. Resultados. En las muestras de leche cruda se presenta un 50% de coliformes en dilución 1:100 y 1:1000. Por otro lado, E. coli representa un 15% de las 20 muestras analizadas. Así mismo, S. aureus supera los límites establecidos registrando un 70% en 1:100 y el 25% para 1:100. Estos límites de rechazo van a depender a las normas establecidas de cada país ya que no existe una norma estándar. Conclusión. En este estudio, el recuento de S, aureus se reportó valores altos, superando los límites de rechazo. Por otro lado, E. coli registró un 15 % de contaminación, así como los coliformes presentaron entre 35% al 50% de contaminación en la leche cruda. Por lo tanto, los valores de los indicadores de contaminación van a depender de cada país. Área de estudio: Bioquímica y farmacia
Recaudación del impuesto predial y eficacia de los GAD ecuatorianos
Authors: Silverio Vásquez Nery Mariuxi , Tigua Moreira Sonía Jacqueline 
Published: July 2023

La redistribución de recursos, a través de políticas y programas que buscan aumentar el acceso a estos servicios y recursos, puede mejorar significativamente la calidad de vida de los más desfavorecidos, reducir la pobreza y la exclusión social, y contribuir a una sociedad más justa e inclusiva. Además, la redistribución de recursos también puede mejorar la estabilidad y el crecimiento económico al aumentar la demanda interna, reducir la desigualdad y fomentar la inversión y la innovación. La investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar la recaudación del impuesto predial y la eficacia de los gobiernos autónomos descentralizados ecuatorianos, utilizando una metodología cuantitativa que incluyó el análisis de datos estadísticos y un cuestionario aplicado a una muestra de 383 personas. Se empleó un enfoque descriptivo correlacional y estadístico para aprobar la hipótesis de que la recaudación del impuesto predial mejora la eficacia de los gobiernos autónomos descentralizados ecuatorianos. La investigación fue no experimental y utilizó métodos analíticos, estadísticos y sintéticos, así como inductivos y deductivos. Los resultados presentan que el Chi cuadrado calculado es 8,54 y el valor crítico es 9,48, por lo tanto, no se puede afirmar con un nivel de confianza razonable que las variables estén relacionadas, concluyendo que no hay una relación significativa entre la recaudación del impuesto predial y la eficacia de los gobiernos autónomos descentralizados ecuatorianos, destacando así la importancia de mejorar la cultura tributaria y la participación ciudadana en el proceso de toma de decisiones para el desarrollo del país.
