Parental Involvement and Self-Efficacy in Helping Learners with Special Educational Needs Succeed in School
No full textThis research study delved into the unique influence of parental involvement (PI) and self-efficacy (SE) on the educational success of learners with special needs (LSENs) which the scope that deviate from present research, which primarily concentrates on LSENs. Employing with the used of descriptive correlational design, it surveyed 116 parents from three different schools in Cebu: Sta. Lucia National Central School, the First High School for the Hearing Impaired, and the Naga SPED Center. The respondents, mostly women aged 32-34 with unique backgrounds using adapted questionnaires with a 5-point Likert scale to assess their PI and SE. These results clarified the need for targeted intervention programs to increase PI , raise SE, and amplify supportive system particularly for LSENs parents. Empowering these parents as proactive proponents for their children’s educational success was imperative to unlock potential, validate meaningful inclusion and achievement of LSENs learning

•Resumen:
Greater use of condoms within marriage would help limit the spread of HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. Using data from the Malawi Diffusion and Ideational Change Project (MDICP), the authors examined the influence that the fidelity norm and the traditional association between marriage and reproduction have on condom use with a spouse. The sample included 749 married couples. The authors used latent class analysis to estimate a "true," or latent measure of condom use by couples based on the individual reports of husbands and wives and to explore the reasons why individuals tend to misreport their use of condoms. They found that married couples with more children were more likely to use condoms and that having been informed by experts about AIDS prevention at home induced men and women to overreport condom use within marriage in a survey but may not necessarily increase the extent to which condoms are used.Depto. de Sociología AplicadaFac. de EducaciónTRUEpu
Vida y obra de un médico morisco en el exilio: Muḥammad b. Aḥmad b. Abī l-‛Āṣ (ss. XVI-XVII)
No full textOne of the Spanish Muslim authors that could not be identified until now is Muḥammad b. Aḥmad b. Abī l-‛Āṣ al-Andalusī, to whom two short medical treatises are attributed. A study of the preserved manuscripts of both works, as well as the revision of some sources and recently published studies, will allow us to identify this author as the Granadan Morisco Muḥammad b. Abī l-‛Āṣī (or Muhhemed Bulhaç), a physician that in the first half of the 17th century left the Iberian Peninsula to reside in Istanbul, and afterwards in Cairo, where his trace is lost in the year 1637. In this article, we will expose all the available biographical data about this person, and we will make a brief analysis of his two treatises.Uno de los autores hispanomusulmanes que hasta la fecha no había podido ser identificado es Muḥammad b. Aḥmad b. Abī l-‛Āṣ al-Andalusī, a quien se atribuyen dos breves tratados sobre medicina. Un estudio de los manuscritos conservados de ambas obras, así como la revisión de algunas fuentes y estudios recientemente publicados, nos permiten identificar a este autor con el morisco granadino Muḥammad b. Abī l-‛Āṣī (o Muhhemed Bulhaç), médico que en la primera mitad del s. XVII abandonó la Península Ibérica para residir durante algunos años en Estambul y posteriormente en El Cairo, donde se pierde su pista en el año 1637. En el presente artículo, expondremos todos los datos biográficos disponibles de este personaje, y haremos un breve análisis de sus dos tratados

ABSTRACT
The work "Become a Guru of Database" presented by the author Leonardo Ponte Cordero, discusses from an ethical, managerial and even spiritual point of view technical aspects of database design and manipulation using the Structured Query Language (SQL) and SQL-based Programming Language (PL / SQL) through a database manager under LINUX environment. It is organized into five (5) broad topics ranging from the DML (Data Manipulation Language) instructions to the creation of PL/SQL Program Blocks, useful for database administration duties. It is an easy and enjoyable reading, recommended not only for undergraduate and graduate students in areas of IT, but also for professionals whose work is related to database administration.

Verses, subverses and subversions in contemporary postcolonial poetry : the arts of resistance in the works of Linton Kwesi Johnson and Lesego Rampolokeng
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 136-141).This dissertation seeks to analyse insubordination and resistance manifested in postcolonial and post-apartheid poetry as ways of subverting dominant Western discourses. More specifically, I focus my analysis on textual strategies of resistance in the poetry of Linton Kwesi Johnson and Lesego Rampolokeng. The syncretistic quality in the oeuvres of both poets is related to diaspora, hybridity and crealisation as forms of writ[h]ing against (neo)colonially-based hegemonic discourses. Postcolonial critiques at large will frame this analysis of strategies of domination and resistance, but some discussions from the domain of history, sociology and cultural studies may also enter the debate. In this regard there is a great variety of theories and arguments dealing with the contradictions and incongruities in the question of power relations interconnecting domination and resistance. This study is arranged in three pivotal debates. There is firstly an in-depth discussion of underpinning theories that deal with strategies of domination and resistance in the postcolonial domain This is a threefold task carried out by scrutinising (a) the origins of colonial discourse and its binarist tendencies, (b) the pitfalls of anticolonialist resistance based on dualistic opposites, and (c) the hybrid and insubordinate nature of resistance as an efficient alternative to transcend such binaries. Afterwards I seek to investigate how strategies of diasporic resistance and cultural hybridism employed in the poetry of Linton Kwesi Johnson can contribute to moving away from the limitations of dichotomies and also subvert hegemonic power. And finally, I look at crealisation, mockery and insubordination as strategies of resistance in the postapartheid poetry of Lesego Rampolokeng. Besides that, this project is concerned with the increasing importance of academic studies on postcolonial literatures. The present research aims therefore to analyse postcolonial and post-apartheid poems as strategic techniques to decentre dominant Western rhetoric that tries to naturalise inequalities and injustices in the relations between power holders and the powerless in both local and global contexts
GOOD HOUSEKEEPING: LEVEL OF 5S COMPLIANCE OF HOUSEKEEPERS FROM SELECTED BED AND BREAKFAST IN TAGAYTAY CITY
No full textAbstract: Implementation of 5’S in hotels is very important because it provides an organized and efficient workplace for the employees. 5’S implementation can be applied in various industries such as hospitality particularly accommodation provider such as hotels. The researchers assess the implementation of 5’S in selected hotels in the city of Tagaytay which is a known tourist destination. The respondents in the study are the hotel employees from the selected hotels in the city of Tagaytay and survey questionnaire as the instrument of the study the result shows that most of the employees of the hotel age 21 to 30 with a gender of male, had an educational attainment of college graduate a monthly income range of P10,000 to P20,000 and is employed with the hotel for less than 1 year. The result of the 5’S assessment shows that the hotel employees often practiced Sort (Seiri), Set in Order (Seiton), Shine (Seiso) and Standard (Seiketsu) while the Sustain (Shitsuke) is sometimes practiced. The result of the relationship between the profile of the respondents and aspects of 5’S shows that there is no significant relationship.
