description: We live in a world which embraces the fact that change is the only constant. Inventions aid in bringing change fueled by the necessity of the dynamic world. The patent system seeks to facilitate inventions by granting protection  to the inventors. In India, the Patents Act, 1970, has laid down the nonobviousness or inventive step standard for patenting inventions such as radical inventions. What is needed is that the invention is not easily obtained and was beyond the capability of the ordinary skilled person. Every inventor attempts to create an invention which will make oneself question the usual. However, the non-obviousness standard acts as a strict gatekeeper of patent protection which affects the patentability of radical inventions under business methods and artificial intelligence. Business methods are explicitly made non-patentable under Section 3(k) of the Indian Patent Act, 1970. While jurisdictions such as United States of America allows patent protection for business methods, the hindsight bias in business methods owing to its development being linear, transforms the inventive step standard into a powerful gatekeeper which devoid business methods from attaining patent protection in India. On the other hand, as we witness the alteration of economic landscape by the creation of radical inventions which utilizes Artificial Intelligence or AI, the potential of replacing the person having ordinary skill in the art (PHOSITA) under the inventive step standard is being raised. It is crucial to determine the application of patent law to the unprecedented inventions born through AI.

description: Recently, research capability has received an overwhelming and remarkable interest among academics and practitioners. This is timely since the Department of Education had institutionalized research and encouraged teachers to engage in it to support evidence-based practice, decision-making, policy, and program development. On these premises, a study was carried out to assess the research capability of public teachers in Malaybalay City, determine its correlates and determinants. It utilized descriptive, correlational, and explanatory designs. It administered survey questionnaires to 92 participants. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that teachers were slightly capable of conducting research and having neutral attitudes toward it, motivated to write research, had a high level of difficulties in research processes, and moderately capable of action planning. They also show evidence of potential in mentoring. Further, mentoring and action planning skills, motivation to write research, attitudes toward research, and the number of studies completed by teachers were the correlates of their research capability at different magnitudes of the relationship. Notably, the research capability of teachers had a low, negative but significant relationship with their age and accumulated years of service. Thus, this capability deteriorates as they age and accumulate years of service. The motivation to write research, the number of studies completed, and age were the determinants of research capability. It was concluded that research capability can be determined and predicted by how motivated teachers are to write research, how productive they are in research, and how young they are when they engage in this rigorous endeavor. The study identified and recommended topics for continuing professional development.

description: The study identified the level of competencies and the extent of professional development needs of kindergarten teachers in the Sultan Kudarat Division, during the school year 2019 - 2020. The study employed a descriptive method. The study involved 54 kindergarten teachers in the division in accomplishing the 12-item self-assessment instrument. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results revealed that kindergarten teachers have a high level of competencies in content knowledge and pedagogy, learning environment and diversity of learners, curriculum and planning, and assessment and reporting. These indicate that they possess almost all of the competencies of efficient teachers. Results further revealed a very high extent of professional needs in content knowledge and pedagogy and the learning environment and diversity of learners, while they had a high extent of professional needs in the remaining domains. Since they reported very high priorities in content knowledge and pedagogy and the learning environment and diversity of learners, these areas would be the main considerations in the crafting of a professional development plan.

Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2023

description: Existing studies lack comprehensive insights into the success and effectiveness of culturally responsive leadership (CRL) in higher education. To address this gap, a scoping review was conducted to provide an integrated framework of CRL and guide current and future school leaders in higher education who aspire to implement it. Initially, 47 literature sources were searched, screened, and 18 articles were selected for thematic analysis based on predefined criteria. The analysis revealed three key themes: culturally responsive school leadership in higher education, the success of culturally responsive leadership, and effective practices of CRL which serve as an integrative framework. The findings underscore the importance of prioritizing culturally responsive school leadership in higher education to promote access, equity, and improvement. Furthermore, the review highlights the potential impact of embracing CRL in higher education settings and fills a gap in the existing literature by offering an integrative framework. It contributes to understanding the potential of CRL to enhance higher education institutions. The recommendations and implications discussed in the review provide valuable guidance for educational leaders seeking to implement culturally responsive practices. Overall, this review enhances our understanding of CRL in the context of higher education and emphasizes its potential benefits for educational institutions.

description: Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) weaves together rigor and relevance while it improves student achievement and engagement. The Philippine Department of Education implemented Indigenous People’s education to respond to the demands for culturally responsive teaching. Teacher education graduates are expected to articulate the rootedness of education in sociocultural contexts in creating a learning environment that recognizes respect, connectedness, choice, personal relevance, challenges, engagement, authenticity, and effectiveness. Practice teachers need relevant exposure and immersion to fully develop their competence in CRT. This scenario necessitates attention to assessing the competence of 191 practice teachers in CRT, correlating their competence across dimensions, and verifying the role of gender and degree programs in competence development. This investigation provides evidence on the role of gender in competence development toward culturally responsive teaching. Such competence is vital in practice teachers, especially because they are exposed to learners with diverse backgrounds during their teaching internship. This evidence informs supervising instructors in molding practice teachers.

description: Follicular T helper cells (Tfh cells) provide key B-cell help and are essential in germinal center formation and (auto) antibody generation. To gain more insight into their role during the earliest phase of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), we analyzed their frequencies, phenotypes, and cytokine profiles in peripheral blood and lymph node biopsies of healthy controls (HCs), autoantibody-positive individuals at risk for developing RA (RA-risk individuals), and early RA patients. Subsequently, we confirmed their presence in lymph nodes and synovial tissue of RA patients using immunofluorescence microscopy. In the blood, the frequency of Tfh cells did not differ between study groups. In lymphoid and synovial tissues, Tfh cells were localized in B-cell areas, and their frequency correlated with the frequency of CD19+ B cells. Compared to lymphoid tissues of healthy controls, those of RA patients and RA-risk individuals showed more CD19+ B cells, CD4+CXCR5+ follicular helper T cells, and CD8+CXCR5+ follicular T cells. These Tfh cells produced less IL-21 upon ex vivo stimulation. These findings suggest that Tfh cells may present a novel rationale for therapeutic targeting during the preclinical stage of RA to prevent further disease progression.

description: Transforming growth factor-beta (TGFB) is a critical regulator of normal haematopoiesis. Dysregulation of the TGFB pathway is associated with numerous haematological malignancies including myelofibrosis, acute myeloid leukaemia, and lymphoid disorders. TGFB has classically been seen as a negative regulator of proliferation in haematopoiesis whilst stimulating differentiation and apoptosis, as required to maintain homeostasis. Tumours frequently develop intrinsic resistant mechanisms to homeostatic TGFB signalling to antagonise its tumour-suppressive functions. Furthermore, elevated levels of TGFB enhance pathogenesis through modulation of the immune system and tumour microenvironment. Here, we review recent advances in the understanding of TGFB signalling in B-cell malignancies with a focus on the tumour microenvironment. Malignant B-cells harbour subtype-specific alterations in TGFB signalling elements including downregulation of surface receptors, modulation of SMAD signalling proteins, as well as genetic and epigenetic aberrations. Microenvironmental TGFB generates a protumoural niche reprogramming stromal, natural killer (NK), and T-cells. Increasingly, evidence points to complex bi-directional cross-talk between cells of the microenvironment and malignant B-cells. A greater understanding of intercellular communication and the context-specific nature of TGFB signalling may provide further insight into disease pathogenesis and future therapeutic strategies.

Scoping Review on Employability Skills of Teacher Education Graduates in the Philippines: A Framework for Curriculum Enhancement
Creators: name: Caingcoy, Manuel
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2021

description: The demand in the workplace is rapidly changing brought about by the educational reforms and the emergence of disruptive technology. The changes increase the importance of employability skills and literacy that would ensure career success and degree program relevance. On this premise, a study was carried out using a scoping review to examine the existing literature that published information related to employability skills of Teacher Education graduates in the Philippines. The review covered fifteen published articles that qualified in inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results revealed the top employable skills which include communication; information and communication technology; problem-solving and critical thinking; collaboration, cooperation, and teamwork; research; and leadership. This study offers these skills as a framework in the curriculum enhancement of teacher education programs. It was recommended to Teacher Education Institutions to revisit their curriculum and find out if these competencies were given considerable emphasis in instruction. The partially employable skills of graduates from teacher education programs imply the furtherance of the inquiry to confirm if these skills are employable or not. Future tracer studies may take the lens of the framework in evaluating the responsiveness of the curriculum.

Year: 2023

description: Culturally responsive pedagogy is crucial in education, valuing diverse backgrounds to create inclusive learning environments. This paper synthesizes 32 literature sources systematically highlighting the importance of recognizing cultural backgrounds, building relationships, adapting instruction, and promoting critical consciousness. Recognition of students' backgrounds enhances academic achievement and engagement, while positive relationships foster belonging and well-being. Adapting instruction meets diverse needs and improves outcomes. Promoting critical consciousness empowers students to challenge stereotypes and address social injustices. Ongoing professional development and support are essential for effective implementation. By addressing these areas, educational institutions can create equitable and inclusive environments. Further research is needed to explore effective strategies for recognizing cultural backgrounds, investigate the impact of inclusive communities, study strategies for diverse learning needs, and examine the outcomes of promoting critical consciousness. Addressing these gaps enhances understanding and informs evidence-based practices in culturally responsive teaching.

description: Tracing graduates has become an imperative for higher education institutions much more during the pandemic. This tracer determined the employment and employability status of the 2019 BSE graduates and identified the competencies they adequately acquired and deemed vital for work. It used descriptive design, and data were collected from the 103 graduates through a Google form with open and closed-ended questions administered between November and December 2020. Results revealed that most of the graduates had been employed in teaching and teaching-related jobs but mostly in contractual arrangements within the first and second six months after graduation. Many had their first jobs with meager salaries from the private sector. Communication, pedagogy, information communication technology, time management, and flexibility were the top competencies they adequately acquired and were beneficial in work. The study concluded that these graduates had acquired 21st-century skills in their respective degree programs. These results have corresponding implications for future research in confirming the most employable skills in secondary teaching. As recommended, classroom instruction might emphasize the development of these skills. Eventually, these become the competitive advantage and employability capitals of future graduates. Administering the licensure examination and the release of its results can be done within the first three months after graduation to lessen the cost of waiting.

description: Holistic wellness is vital to sustaining sound mind and healthy body of third-agers. These individuals are considered vulnerable. Previous surveys indicated limited wellness activities among third agers. With this, an extension project was designed and implemented to address this concern. This paper evaluated the impact of the project on the holistic wellness of third-agers and determined its contribution to national and international goals. The result chain framework was used to identify the impact. It gathered data through survey tools and interviews supported by annual reports. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that the university-wide extension project was successful in implementing activities and producing desired outputs. Its outcomes are evidenced in the attainment of its vision, mission, and objectives. As found, the project had a very high impact on the holistic wellness of third agers in each dimension and as a whole. This means that the third-agers have balanced well-being. This paper also highlights the contributions of the project in the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022, ambisyon 2040, and sustainable development goals. In the end, relevant recommendations are specifically articulated for future actions.

description: This article explores the social thought of E.L. Mascall, Anglican theologian and philosopher. The bewilderment of the 1930s and 1940s, Mascall believed, was at root a loss of a proper sense of the human person: dependent on the action of God for very existence, simultaneously bodily and spiritual, a worker on earth yet a pilgrim towards glory. Human fulfilment was contingent on a right relation of humankind to God, and the subservience of society, economy and politics to human need. Mascall was rare among his contemporaries in living and continuing to write into the mid-1980s, and thus being able to look back on the eclipse in the 1950s and 1960s of much of what he had advocated. I suggest that the waxing and waning of Mascall’s interventions mirrors the rise, eclipse and (finally) partial revival of a catholic understanding of society and the human person which was given the name of ‘Christian sociology’.

description: Perceptions of sex offenders are often negative due to the nature of their crimes, leading them to be viewed as a homogenous group. Previous research, has, however, suggested that for sex offender treatment to be effective, it needs to address the individual’s specific criminogenic needs within a compassionate and on-judgemental setting. Given the significant impact of sexual abuse, understanding what factors promote treatment effectiveness and influence compassionate care is needed. This researched explored specific sex offender populations, child sex offenders and sex offenders with learning disabilities (SOwLD). The paradoxical nature of forensic services is considered, given the emphasis placed on compassionate care needed in the treatment of sex offenders, and the requirement for security to manage risk. The challenge in providing patient-centred care was acknowledged when treatment was mandated or delivered in secure environments, a common occurrence in forensic services. In Chapter 1, qualitative research that explored the therapy experiences of child sexual offenders was synthesised. The themes reported within the eight identified studies were compared, resulting in the emergence of five superordinate themes. Results indicated the importance of non-judgemental, empathic, and compassionate support in improving meaningful engagement. In Chapter 2, a qualitative research study was conducted which explored nursing professionals’ experiences of working with SOwLD. This study identified the challenges and benefits of working with this population. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to develop themes from the narratives of eight nursing professionals. Two superordinate themes emerged: Becoming Janus and The pervasive influence. A lack of support or progress could increase job-demands, in turn risking compassion-fatigue. Consideration is given to how staff wellbeing can be improved when working with this population. In Chapter 3, a critical appraisal was conducted to explore the use of labelling language within research and healthcare services, including how this could be changed.

description: Individuals with high self-concept will likely have high life satisfaction, they easily get adjusted to life, and they communicate their feeling more appropriately. However, it was not certain whether self-concept would decline or improve as individuals age, or whether self-concept would vary between genders and ethnic groups. To prove, a study was carried out to compare the self-concept of college students in an Asian context. The inquiry utilized the cross-sectional design in finding out significant differences in the self-concept of participants in terms of age, gender, and ethnicity. A 22-item questionnaire was adapted and administered to 222 Bachelor of Public Administration and Bachelor of Science in Business Administration students from the satellite campus of Bukidnon State University in the Philippines. Initially, a sample was randomly drawn from the population. During the actual data collection, the researchers had difficulty getting the responses from the randomly selected individuals due to internet connection and it was done amidst a pandemic. Instead, it took all responses from those who were available, have access to the internet, and could accomplish the google forms. The data were analyzed using Mean, Standard Deviation, T-test for independent sample, ANOVA and Post Hoc test. The results revealed that college students at the locale have a high level of self-concept in self-fulfilment, emotional adjustment, and honesty. Yet, they only had a moderate level of self-concept in autonomy. Further, there were significant differences in college students’ autonomy and honesty in terms of age and gender. Furthermore, there were significant differences in their emotional adjustment and self-fulfilment as to their ethnicity. The results have implications for instruction, administration, guidance services, and future research.

description: Positive mental health thrives on strong social and emotional connections. Cultivating a child's ability to forge close, secure, and meaningful relationships is the cornerstone of well-being. Yet, pandemic-induced isolation has created barriers to face-to-face interaction with friends, posing a significant challenge to this critical developmental task. This scoping review delves into previous research concerning children's socio-emotional well-being before and during the pandemic. We screened studies, focusing solely on those directly addressing the core issues impacting children's emotional landscape. Our findings reveal disturbing trends: the pandemic has amplified anxieties, particularly among vulnerable children. The evidence speaks for itself – this global health crisis has inflicted a negative impact on children's socio-emotional health. In response, researchers have proposed a range of policy recommendations to equip teachers and parents with the tools to recognize and mitigate the pandemic's consequences on children. Among these, ongoing debriefing sessions for teachers can foster understanding and gradually alleviate anxieties that ripple through classrooms. Simultaneously, parents – as children's primary caregivers – must remain informed and offer unwavering support, actively monitoring and addressing anxieties within their homes.

description: Effective stress management strategies correlate with improved academic performance in college students, yet inconsistent findings in existing research warrant further investigation. This study explored the intricate interplay between stress levels, copingstrategies, and academic achievement in HyFlex learningenvironments. A stratified random sample of 111 students from five specializations within the Bachelor of Secondary Education program participated. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational design, data were collected through validated self-report questionnaires and a weighted general average. Subsequent descriptive statistics and bivariate correlation analysis revealed moderate stress levels among participantswho preferredtask-oriented coping strategies. Interestingly, a significant positive association was observed between stress levels and academic achievement and emotion-oriented copingstrategies, while a negative correlation emerged between stress and task-oriented copingstrategies. Avoidance-oriented copingstrategies, conversely, displayed a significant negative association with academic success. These findings underscore the crucial role of educational institutions in providing robust support mechanisms for stress management and cultivating a task-focused learning environment to optimize student well-being and academic performance within the HyFlex model.

Plus energy building

description: In the CULTURAL-E project, four representative multifamily residential buildings will be built in Norway, France, Germany and Italy as Residential Energy Plus Buildings. Different policies and related boundary conditions in each country have a great influence on the successful implementation of plus energy concepts. The current deliverable “National and local regulatory frame and boundary conditions” gives an overview of the legislation and requirements in each country and shows how they impact the spread of PEB concepts, with the help of a practical example. Therefore, national funding schemes and local policies were analysed in regard to support renewable energy generation in buildings and favor the connection with the electric grid and other district buildings (e.g. direct delivery of power to neighbour buildings, grid feed-in) as well as the local energy market (e.g. energy prices, feed-in tariff) and foreseen developments and environmental aspects. The present report summarized the results of this analysis. The results will be also included in the European Climate and Cultural Atlas for Plus Energy Building design (2CAP-Energy Atlas).

ABSTRACT: "Song of Eternal Love on Sun-Moon Lake" is a heartfelt love song that celebrates the enduring romance of senior lovers. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Sun Moon Lake, the lyrics depict silver-haired couples who find solace and joy in each other's company. From the sparkling sunlight on the eastern shore to the soft moonlight on the western shore, the song captures the timeless beauty of their love. As they chase dreams over Jade Mountain peaks and stroll hand in hand by the lake, their spirits resonate and intertwine. The song beautifully portrays their eternal embrace, illuminating the tranquil waters with their love. This publication is the forth one in the Sun-Moon Lake series. The musicians around the world who are interested in converting the song lyrics in this publication to music should contact the authors directly. 《日月潭永恆愛情之歌》是一首讚頌銀髮戀人持久愛情的深情歌曲。歌詞以日月潭的美麗景色為背景,描繪了銀髮夫婦在彼此陪伴中找到安慰和快樂的情景。從東岸閃爍的陽光到西岸柔和的月光,這首歌捕捉了他們愛情的永恆之美。當他們追逐夢想越過玉山峰,牽手漫步在湖邊時,他們的心靈共鳴交織。這首歌美麗地描繪了他們的永恆擁抱,用愛點亮了寧靜的湖水。

description: Despite the importance of immune cell–biomaterial interactions for the regenerative outcome, few studies have investigated how distinct three-dimensional biomaterials modulate the immune cell-mediated mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) recruitment and function. Thus, this work compares the response of varied primary human immune cell populations triggered by different model scaffolds and describes its functional consequence on recruitment and motility of bone marrow MSC. It was found that poly-lactic acid (PLA) and chitosan scaffolds lead to an increase in the metabolic activity of macrophages but not of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), natural killer (NK) cells or monocytes. PBMC and NK cells increase their cell number in PLA scaffolds and express a secretion profile that does not promote MSC recruitment. Importantly, chitosan increases IL-8, MIP-1, MCP-1 and RANTES secretion by macrophages while PLA stimulates IL-6, IL-8 and MCP-1 production, all chemokines that can lead to MSC recruitment. This secretion profile of macrophages in contact with biomaterials correlates with the highest MSC invasion. Furthermore, macrophages enhance stem cell motility within chitosan scaffolds by 44% but not in PLA scaffolds. Thus, macrophages are the cells that in contact with engineered biomaterials become activated to secrete bioactive molecules that stimulate MSC recruitment.

description: Alternative Learning System (ALS) has been adopted in Philippine basic education, yet there is no academic institution in the region prepares ALS teachers in teaching life skills. ALS teachers graduated from different programs of teacher education for formal education. In response, an extension project was conceptualized and implemented to enhance the teaching capacity and effectiveness of ALS teachers. Case study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the project. It explored the transfer of life skills among ALS teachers. Data were collected from multiple sources. Interview and written responses, and feedbacks were analyzed using thematic narrative analysis. Other data were analyzed using document and descriptive analyses. The project had achieved its objectives and rated best by participants. These indicate that the project was implemented effectively and successfully. ALS teachers have acquired life skills and transferred them to others. Thus, the project has made a difference in the lives of these teachers.
