Proficiency, Psychological Wellbeing, and Coping of the College Freshmen of the University of Nueva Caceres
No full textThe transition to college is one of the significant life adjustments. Students are expected to adapt to this new environment. However, difficulties in school adaptation may result in social, emotional, and learning instability. This quantitative descriptive survey research determined the skills proficiency, psychological well-being and coping strategies of the University of Nueva Caceres first-year college students for the school year 2021– 2022. The study participants consisted of 429 first-year students of the University of Nueva Caceres. The Skills Profiler Test, Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-being (SPWB), and Brief-COPE Inventory were used to measure the variables. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze the data. The results indicated that the first-year college students of UNC have a skills gap in math, reasoning, and vocabulary. They reflect positive well-being that may help them pursue college life and obstacles that may come their way. The results further suggest that there is a need for the university to come up with programs or interventions that will develop the first-year students' critical thinking skills to succeed in mathematics and life
Analysis of Student Readiness for Online Learning at the University of Nueva Caceres, Philippines: A Case Study at the College of Arts and Sciences during The Covid-19 Pandemic
No full textThe educational sector has been one of the most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The unexpected change from a brick-and-mortar school setting to an online platform became mandatory. Universities and colleges, as the central part of Higher Education Institutions, are considered essential sectors that involve a different level of students who represent the future potential human labor force. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the online learning readiness of the students in this current set-up. This investigation aimed to examine the students' readiness for online learning of the College of Arts and Sciences students during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research also acknowledged that preparedness for online learning would vary according to the student's characteristics. The respondents were 163 CAS students. The Student Readiness in Online Learning (SROL) was used to measure student readiness in online learning. It was found that students are ready in communication and online student attributes and in approaching technical and time management readiness. Strong associations were found between time management and technical subscales along with the demographic factors’ year level of the students and learning modality. Overall, online learning readiness had a strong association with the learning modality of the students. It was concluded that students have limited skills and knowledge to apply a given task independently, which limits effective and successful learning outcomes that are apparent in managing their time well. It is recommended that these skill gaps be addressed to reduce concerns of students from falling behind
Employees’ Well-Being during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Implications to Human Resource Management
No full textInarguable, being in the workforce is one of the most essential aspects of life. In fact, the greatest quantity of the lifetime of the people is spent working. However, the pandemic creates long-lasting effects on the workforce. The pandemic has triggered many modifications reshaping the workforce. There was the abrupt digital and remote working transformation which led to employees a harsh need to quickly adapt to these transformations. With this, there is the big question, how are the employees during this pandemic? How is the well-being of this workforce? This study determined the employees’ well-being of the employees of the University of Nueva Caceres during the COVID-19 pandemic. There were 170 employees of the university who completed the survey administered through online platform. The Personal Wellness Assessment with 8 Dimensions of Wellness was used to measure the well-being of the employees. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze the data gathered. The results showed that during the COVID-19 pandemic the UNC employees reported high level of well-being. Specifically, they have extremely high spiritual, intellectual, and social but they feel challenged when it comes to emotional, financial, and physical aspects of their well-being. Significant relationships were also found between the age of the employees and their well-being in terms of physical, emotional, and spiritual. Significant relationships were also found between the length of service of the employees and their physical and emotional well-being. The gender differences of the employees along the aspects of well-being were significantly found in social and spiritual. Significant difference in civil status was also found in physical and emotional well-being. The results further indicated no statistical difference in the status of well-being according to the department

Resilient Russian Women in the 1920s & 1930s
No full textThe stories of Russian educated women, peasants, prisoners, workers, wives, and mothers of the 1920s and 1930s show how work, marriage, family, religion, and even patriotism helped sustain them during harsh times.
The Russian Revolution launched an economic and social upheaval that released peasant women from the control of traditional extended families. It promised urban women equality and created opportunities for employment and higher education. Yet, the revolution did little to eliminate Russian patriarchal culture, which continued to undermine women’s social, sexual, economic, and political conditions. Divorce and abortion became more widespread, but birth control remained limited, and sexual liberation meant greater freedom for men than for women. The transformations that women needed to gain true equality were postponed by the poverty of the new state and the political agendas of leaders like Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.
The defunct economy and widespread famine, disease, and misery of the 1920s and the policies of collectivization and terror of the 1930s make those decades dark periods in Russian history, as Bolshevik male-dominated work culture triumphed and women’s needs and voices were ultimately silenced. When Russian society chooses to revisit those times, it will find in the remarkable poetry and prose of these resilient women plentiful evidence of the everyday horrors, struggles, and disappointments the people endured.

A Florentine family in crisis: the Strozzi in the fifteenth century.
No full textPhDIn 1434 the Strozzi lineage had held a leading position in
Florentine society and government for at least one hundred and fifty
years, and was one of the largest and wealthiest of the city's
patrician lineages. The records of the catasto of 1427 and of the
scrutiny of 1433 are used to give a profile of the dominant social,
economic and political position of the Strozzi before the advent of
Medicean dominance. Their record of electoral success, and the
political and cultural leadership of influential and respected men
such as Palla di Nofri and Matteo di Simone, with other factors, put
the Strozzi amongst the greatest enemies of the victorious Medicean
regime of late 1434. The effects of political opposition and exile
on the lineage are examined both directly, through records of office-holding,
and indirectly through such indicators as marriage alliances
and household wealth. The two most prominent lines of the Strozzi
were exiled after 1434. Palla di Nofri's life and preoccupations in
his Paduan exile are examined, together with the lives of his sons;
none of these Strozzi ever returned to Florence, pursued as they were
by the enmity of the Medicean regime. The very different careers of
Filippo di Matteo and his brother Lorenzo are also examined: how they
succeeded in founding a lucrative bank in Naples, and in returning to
Florence to 'rebuild' (rifare) the position of the Strozzi lineage
there. The final decades of the century saw the Strozzi in an
economically more secure position, due substantially to the efforts
of Filippo. Except for a very small number of its members admitted
into the regime, most of the lineage is here shown to have remained
excluded from significant political office until after the fall of
the Medici regime in 1494
Exploratory insights into novel prehabilitative neuromuscular exercise-conditioning in total knee arthroplasty.

https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0072-1521VoR added 2023-01-11Contemporary strategies for prehabilitation and rehabilitation associated with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery have focused on improving joint range-of-motion and function with less emphasis on neuromuscular performance beneficially affecting joint stability. Furthermore, prehabilitation protocols have been found to be too long and generic-in-effect to be considered suitable for routine clinical practice. A pragmatic exploratory controlled trial was designed to investigate the efficacy of a novel, acute prehabilitative neuromuscular exercise-conditioning (APNEC) in patients electing TKA. Adults electing unilateral TKA were assessed and randomly allocated to exercise-conditioning (APNEC, n = 15) and usual care (Control, n = 14) from a specialised orthopaedic hospital, in the United Kingdom. APNEC prescribed nine stressful exercise-conditioning sessions for the knee extensors of the surgery leg, accrued over one week (3 sessions·week ; 36 exercise repetitions in total; machine, gravity-loaded) and directly compared with usual care (no exercise). Prescribed exercise stress ranged between 60%-100% of participant's daily voluntary strength capacity, encompassing purposefully brief muscular activations (≤ 1.5 s). Baseline and follow-up indices of neuromuscular performance focusing on muscle activation capacity (electromechanical delay [EMD], rate of force development [RFD] and peak force [PF]) were measured ipsilaterally using dynamometry and concomitant surface electromyography (m. rectus femoris and m. vastus lateralis ). Group mean ipsilateral knee extensor muscular activation capacity (EMD [F = 53.5; p < 0.001]; EMD [F = 50.0; p < 0.001]; RFD [F = 10.5; p < 0.001]) and strength (PF [F = 16.4; p < 0.001]) were significantly increased following APNEC (Cohen's d, 0.5-1.8; 15% to 36% vs. baseline), but unchanged following no exercise control (per protocol, group by time interaction, factorial ANOVA, with repeated measures), with significant retention of gains at 1-week follow-up (p < 0.001). The exploratory APNEC protocol elicited significant and clinically-relevant improvement and its retention in neuromuscular performance in patients awaiting TKA.

In conclusion, moving forward inthis emerging field with a balanced perspective, acknowledging itstransformative potential, and addressing the associated risks in an informedmanner is crucial. When considering the balance between the benefits and risksof personalized dietary recommendations, it is clear that while the benefitshold significant promise, the risks cannot be overlooked. Further research isneeded to better understand these interactions and to develop personalizednutrition strategies based on genetic profiles.

Curriculum for optical diagnosis training in Europe: European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Position Statement
No full textThis manuscript represents an official Position Statement of the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) aiming to guide general gastroenterologists to develop and maintain skills in optical diagnosis during endoscopy. In general, this requires additional training beyond the core curriculum currently provided in each country. In this context, ESGE have developed a European core curriculum for optical diagnosis practice across Europe for high quality optical diagnosis training. 1: ESGE suggests that every endoscopist should have achieved general competence in upper and/or lower gastrointestinal (UGI/LGI) endoscopy before commencing training in optical diagnosis of the UGI/LGI tract, meaning personal experience of at least 300 UGI and/or 300 LGI endoscopies and meeting the ESGE quality measures for UGI/LGI endoscopy. ESGE suggests that every endoscopist should be able and competent to perform UGI/LGI endoscopy with high definition white light combined with virtual and/or dye-based chromoendoscopy before commencing training in optical diagnosis. 2: ESGE suggests competency in optical diagnosis can be learned by attending a validated optical diagnosis training course based on a validated classification, and self-learning with a minimum number of lesions. If no validated training course is available, optical diagnosis can only be learned by attending a non-validated onsite training course and self-learning with a minimum number of lesions. 3: ESGE suggests endoscopists are competent in optical diagnosis after meeting the pre-adoption and learning criteria, and meeting competence thresholds by assessing a minimum number of lesions prospectively during real-time endoscopy. ESGE suggests ongoing in vivo practice by endoscopists to maintain competence in optical diagnosis. If a competent endoscopist does not perform in vivo optical diagnosis on a regular basis, ESGE suggests repeating the learning and competence phases to maintain competence.Key areas of interest were optical diagnosis training in Barrett's esophagus, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, early gastric cancer, diminutive colorectal lesions, early colorectal cancer, and neoplasia in inflammatory bowel disease.
