Extent of implementation of RA 9262 in Buenavista, Guimaras for the year 2013
Full text linkAbstract onlyViolence against women and children is violence against human right. RA 9262 also known as “Violence against Women and their Children Act of 2004, an act which defines violence against women and their children, and provides for protective measures for victims that guarantee full respect for human rights and prescribes penalties to abusers and perpetrators.
This thesis aimed to determine the extent of implementation of Republic Act 9262, Anti-Violence against Women and Children Act of 2004 in Buenavista, Guimaras in the year 2013. The Socio-economic Profile of the victims are taken into account in terms of age, civil status, highest educational attainment and employment status, the common forms of abuses or violence experienced by the victims, the causes of violence and the disposition of the cases.
The twenty six (26) victims were the subjects of the study based on the Complaint Standard Reporting Form of the NAPOLCOM who were victims of the violence and abuses as enumerated in the RA 9262 according to the blotter reports of the Women’s and Children’s Protection Desk of the Buenavista Police Station.
Descriptive research design was used in the study to determine the extent of implementation for RA 9262 in Buenavista, Guimaras. The data were collected, sorted, and tabulated based on the requirements of the study that were analyzed using Microsoft Excel and further interpreted. The statistical tools used in this study are frequency count and percentage distribution.
Many poor women do not report violence for fear of their abusers aside from their lack of independent means of income, hence, we cannot conclude from the number of reported case that their an increase in the incidence of domestic violence
There is no systematic nationwide training in gender and RA 9262 for prosecutors, law enforcers and barangay officials for the lack of budget instead rely on the 5% GAD included in the annual GAA.
In this study, most of the women were victims of abuse were below 30 years old, married, high school graduates, and unemployed; majority of the victims suffered physical violence or abuse from the perpetrator; majority of the victims were abused due to personal interest of the abuser; and half of the cases reported were held under police investigation.
It is recommended to effectively implement the Anti VAWC law appropriating sufficient funds for gender and development, policy/legislative support and livelihood programs to victims and their families. Also strengthen media representative and intensify information campaigns on RA 9262 for the victims to be empowered to seek protection and support towards attaining a full and satisfying life free from fear of violence and abuses of any form.Includes bibliographical referencesJuris Docto
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
A content analysis of selected Supreme Court rulings applying Republic Act 9262: Its implication on domestic violence
Full text linkAbstract onlyViolence and other forms of abuse are most commonly understood as a pattern of behavior intended to establish and maintain control over family, household members, intimate partners, colleagues, individuals or groups. This study is conducted to analyze selected Supreme Court rulings applying RA 9262 and its implication on Domestic Violence. The aspects looked into were jurisprudence citing the law, the reasons/ justification of the Supreme Court and the effectiveness of RA 9262 in minimizing domestic violence from the time it took effect up to the present. The focus was the experience of women and children as victims of abuse. The five selected Supreme Court decided cases regarding RA 9262 were the subjects of the study. Content analysis was the Research Design used and the cases were examined, studied and analyzed based on applicable law and jurisprudence. In this study, the number of cases of domestic violence increase since RA 9262 took effect. This is because women now are more aware of their rights under the law and cases were reported and recorded in Philippine National Police. It is highly recommended to implement the Anti VAWC Law by instituting programs and policies that are guided with thorough research and analysis. The assigned government agencies and institutions must exercise extraordinary diligence to forestall, inquire and in accordance with the law, castigate acts of intimate partner violence against women and their children and give programs of restoration for the victim survivors.Includes bibliographical referencesJuris Docto
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Branching out: Historical school of legal philosophy as the basis of Republic Act 9262 otherwise known as antiviolence against women and their children
No full textThis research paper is primarily focused in the discussion of the gravity of influence of the Historical School of Jurisprudence created by Savigny to the creation and implementation of Republic Act 9262 otherwise known as Antiviolence against Women and their Children. This thesis aims to draw the link of how opinions, beliefs, longings, usages, traditions, idiosyncrasies, arts, customs and sometimes superstitions (OBLUTIACS) were used as the founding principle behind the enactment of R.A. 9262
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
