A REVIEW OF COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY GRAMIN BANKS IN RAJASTHAN

ABSTRACT
Financial institutions are crucial to any country's economic growth and prosperity since they generate the bulk of a country's GDP. It's no exaggeration to say that India's rural banking system plays a significant role in the country's overall economy. It has a significant impact on the expansion and progress of the economy. Since commercial banks are more concerned with accepting deposits than extending loans, their presence in rural regions was very small. Two regional rural banks, the “Baroda Rajasthan Kshetriya Gramin Bank and the Rajasthan Marudhara Gramin Bank”, are the subject of this investigation. The purpose of this article is to do just that—compare and contrast the two Regional Rural Banks in Rajasthan in terms of their financial health and performance. The research used secondary data gathered from the Annual Reports of “Baroda Rajasthan Keshiya Gramin Bank and Rajasthan Marudhara Gramin Bank” for the years 2014-2015 through 2018-2019. In statistical analysis, the mean and the standard deviation are two important quantities. Divergence and variance analyses were performed on metrics such branch CD ratio and net profit ratio.

Analysis of Road 3 Asia (R3A)’s Impacts on Border Trade of Thailand

ABSTRACT
Trade opening has become an important asset for economic development in many countries and an important engine of economic globalization (Wang, Shan-Li, et al, 2020). With continuous foster on the regional economic cooperation, countries with close proximity further promote the mobility and development of infrastructures and policies. Nevertheless, in identifying the factors determining trade integration, testing using the Bayesian gravity equation is essential. After performing a series of simulation experiments, a relationship between bilateral trade volume and simulated trade determinants was predicted for the trade model. The results of the estimated coefficients on GDP in Thailand and GDP of Yunnan province, China are positively significant predictors of the trade growth. The distance between the countries has a negatively significant estimation that implies barriers in trade. The model predicts trade integration, especially towards the trade on route R3A. The Bayesian approach of the gravity model gives robust estimates for determining the impact factor for the bilateral trade, including the fact that the elasticities of total trade volume with respect to distance, population, and the exchange rate of Thailand are negative while the GDP per capita are positively significant. Further, economic size, area, and exchange rate of the destination, and population and area of Yunnan province are positively predicted by the model. The estimated parameters are directly the elasticities, in which increases in GDP is consistent with the higher import volumes. Further, evidence of the gravity equation is used for understanding trade potential, and after some integrations, the estimation is applied for the real trade. The measures of bilateral trade resistance or costs associated with the trade flow has influenced the expanding of the bilateral trade in the model in the GMS economies. Finally, trade integration can be implemented across Asia with evidence and robust estimates of the gravity model, including robustness checking. The Bayesian experiment for the estimation of the impacts of the trade integration on route R3A predicts an increase of GDP, population, exchange rate, and GDP per capita as Photograph Organization Logo predominant predictors in the Bayesian gravity model. Thus, the results revealed that economic size, bilateral distance, and GDP per capita has affected the plausible trade agreements for trade integration on route R3A.

Tao Te Ching: The Unity of Moral and Social Action for peaceful life

ABSTRACT
Tao Te Ching sacred text, written in China around 600 BC, recommends cultivating non-action by observing the natural of the world. Tao Te Ching first articulated the idea of wu wei which means do that which consists in taking no action and order will prevail. The text explains the idea is that we should stop trying to force action and get comfortable doing less. Then, when we do move, our actions are natural and energetic. It can be summarized that Taoist principles are inaction or non-action, simplicity and living in harmony with the nature then everything accomplished the desire result. Tao Te Ching delivered a treatise on how to live in the world with goodness and integrity. Perhaps if we were more aware, we would worry less, and could see better what actually needs doing. Therefore, Tao Te Ching reminds us that everyone has a choice to practice self-awareness and exercise our own power in and over the world for present peaceful life.

Exploratory Factor Analysis of Retail Site Selection in the Metropolitan Area from the Retailer’s Perspective

ABSTRACT
Face-to-face interaction with the customers is preferable in terms of a business relationship and efficient use of time (Lee, Hsiao, Chen, & Guo, 2020). This sentence highlights the significance of personal offline service compared with impersonal online service in retail. Therefore, in today's business environment, store location is more prominent than a century ago. A review of the literature has brought to light the influential attributes of retail site selection with emphasis on the retailer’s perspective; in contrast, insufficient research has been conducted on this topic within the Thailand context. This study was conducted in Organization Logo Photograph Bangkok, Thailand and aimed to examine essential attributes of site selection that help store owners choose the optimal location for enhanced business efficiency. In this study, we focused on the restaurants which sell non-alcoholic beverages as the primary in-store product (coffee & bakery shops and kiosks, tea shops, and milk shops). The data was collected through questionnaires with quantitative approach by census sampling from 120 retailers who were registered with Thailand's Department of Business Development. The top 5 attributes influencing the owners’ site selection were ranked by descriptive statistics and EFA categorized the attributes into 6 components.

THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE DYING CULTURE OF APPRENTICESHIP AND CRIMINALITY AMONG YORUBA ETHNIC GROUP OF SOUTH-WESTERN, NIGERIA.

ABSTRACT
This paper seeks to examine the sociological implications of apprenticeship in curbing crime from the Yoruba sociocultural perspective. In pre-colonial Yoruba societies, apprenticeship emanated out of the need to preserve the family heritage, embedded in a specific craft. This paper explores the nexus between the dying culture of apprenticeship and crime in post-colonial Yoruba land. It is an ethnographic study. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, key informant interviews, focus group discussion and non-participant observation. The findings from the study shows that apprenticeship in the Yoruba cosmology is woven around the concepts of ‘ise l’ogun ise’ and ‘owo to ba dile l’esu yalo’. Both concepts socialise the Yoruba child in the criticality of being groomed into the business craft of a family, right from a tender age.
Findings reveals that apprenticeship is a tool for economic empowerment and deterrence from crime and other forms of anti-social behaviours. Furthermore, findings also reveal that as a result of ‘olaju’ apprenticeship as a dominant culture is now becoming a subculture among the Yoruba people. Likewise, in 21 st century post-colonial Yoruba society’s children loathe the idea of apprenticeship and many are no longer interested in the family craft. One of the resultant effects is taking to criminality to fill the vacuum of idleness by youths in Yorubaland. The study concludes that the culture of apprenticeship in post-colonial Yoruba society should be reawakened because it can be a panacea to the reduction of crime or criminal tendencies among the youth. The study recommends that apprenticeship pathway should be incorporated in the Nigeria educational system as a point-based academic curriculum to demystify the archaic connotation of its practices.

The Role of Investment on Social Welfare,Economic Growth, and Labor Absorption: Cases in Mineral Mining Areas

ABSTRACT
The main objective of the development of a country is to realize social welfare or what is commonly termed prosperity. Investment is seen as one of the key drivers in creating social welfare. Another opinion is that prosperity will be realized when there is an improvement (growth) in the economy, and welfare will be created when people have jobs (in this study it is proportionate to labor absorption). This study analyzes the role of investment in creating social welfare for the community through economic growth and employment. Using a quantitative approach to test the theory with an explanatory design. Using secondary data that is a time series for the period 2006-2020. Data were analyzed using depth analysis techniques. The results of the analysis found that investment is considered to play a role in social welfare, economic growth, and employment. Next, that economic growth and employment have not been able to play a role in the social welfare of the community. Finally, that investment plays a role in social welfare both through economic growth and through employment.

Government to Person (G2P) Distribution Model of Social Assistance and Linkages of Socio-Economic Resilience in Urban and Rural Coastal Areas in Indonesia

ABSTRACT
The direct assistance program for poor households (Government to Person/G2P) is an approach to overcoming poverty in Indonesia. This research seeks to reveal (research objectives) four things, namely the success rate of social assistance distribution, the relationship between social assistance distribution (success) and household socioeconomic resilience, and analyze the factors that cause the success of the distribution of assistance. At the end of the study, a conceptual model of the achievements and shortcomings of aid distribution is presented. This study uses a mixed research approach (qualitative and followed by quantitative). This study involved 461 heads of households, and 23 key informants came from the Regional Government and Program Facilitators. The qualitative data was then tested for validity in a non-parametric quantitative way using Wilcoxon software. This study found that the distribution of aid was categorized as successful (ideal conditions were expected to be very successful). There is an influence between the successful distribution of assistance on household socio-economic resilience. Factors causing the success or failure of the distribution of assistance come from the program manager (external) and from the household itself (internal).

THE EFFECT OF AGE, WORKING PERIOD AND WORKLOAD ON WORK PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH WORK FATIGUE AND SLEEP QUALITY AT EMPLOYEES OF PT. SARANA USAHA SEJAHTERA INSANPALAPA (TELKOMEDIKA)

ABSTRACT
Workload that exceeds one's ability, will cause work fatigue, which will disrupt the sleep process. If the sleep process is disrupted, the expected quality of sleep will not be achieved, which will have an impact on work productivity. This study aims to determine the direct and indirect effects of workload on work productivity through work fatigue and sleep quality. This research is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional study design and analysis using SPSS and AMOS to determine the path analysis of each variable. This research was conducted at PT Sarana Usaha Sejahtera InsanPalapa (TelkoMedika) with a total sample of 119 people. The results showed that there was a direct effect between workload and work productivity with a p-value of 0.003 and a contribution of -0.356, which means that there is a negative relationship, namely that the higher a person's workload, the lower his work productivity, and vice versa. And there is also an indirect effect of workload on work productivity through work fatigue, with a p value of 0.012. Companies should pay attention to the workload given to employees because it will affect their health and productivity at work.

Machine Learning Technique to Classify EMG Signal for Diabetes Person

ABSTRACT
Diabetes can cause a disease known as diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), which affects the blood vessels and nerves in the legs and feet. This condition can result in plantar foot ulcers and muscular weakness. Detecting DPN early stage is crucial so patients can receive early treatment before their disease worsens. Most technology that detects this disease is usually expensive, like an Electromyography machine (EMG). But, with the increasing popularity of machine learning classification in the health sciences, DPN can be identified early by producing a low-cost equipment. This study aimed to develop a low-cost surface EMG (sEMG) system to detect electrical activity in the lower limb muscles and classify healthy and diabetic subjects during muscle fatigue using K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) as two methods of machine learning technique. This study used Muscle Sensor V3 as sEMG to record the signal and extract using time domain feature extraction before classification. In KNN, 1–10 values (K) are used, while in ANN, 1–10 values of the number of hidden neurons are used to compare the classification performance. The result shows that ANN is suitable compared to KNN with the method used in this study. ANN algorithm performs better using four hidden neurons with an accuracy of 100% for the training and testing process. The study can conclude that this low-cost sEMG system, with the help of ANN, can effectively classify two subjects (healthy and diabetic) according to the EMG data obtained. This system can help to identify any diabetes neuropathy at an early stage and able to prevent lower limb complications related to the disease.

Currently, the most sophisticated slope monitoring technology available is the Slope Stability Radar (SSR) which can measure wall deformation with submillimeter accuracy. The slope movement historical data that SSR collects can be analysed to better understand slope deformation behaviour which, due to the geological complexity that each site possesses, will vary distinctively. Experience shows that this information will be highly beneficial in determining site-specific variables such as setting up alarm thresholds. In this paper, a total of 73 back analyses are carried out over the study period from which the slope-behaviour-defining parameters (e.g., deformation sequence, velocity, inverse velocity) are defined. The Anderson-Darling fitting test is then applied to each parameter and the sample mean values obtained are then used to illustrate an empirical model of slope deformation behaviour describing each of deformation sequence leading to slope failure. The result shows that there are three consecutive slope movement sequences developed namely linear, progressive, and failure-to- post-failure. The fitting test reveals that each deformation sequence possesses variables with different distribution patterns and sample mean values. Additionally, a fitting test for coherence, a data attribute unique to SSR, is also given. Ultimately, comparison with actual data suggests that the sample mean of each parameter seems to represent very well.
Index Terms—safety-critical monitoring, fitting test, slope deformation behaviour model, coal mining.

UNDERSTANDING THREATS TO CAMPUS SECURITY IN BAGUIO CITY AND LA TRINIDAD

ABSTRACT
Campus security continues to be an evolving field and keeping up with new information is as imperative as following the latest research in academic feat. Present day schools are faced with a multifarious issues and problems and no school is an exemption. In the study, the perceived threats to campus security of higher educational institutions along internal threat and external threat were considered. The data needed were gathered through the conduct of interview and themes were derived from the responses of the interviewee. In the study, it was found out that threats relating to campus security were encountered but has limited recognition from respondent schools. It was concluded that the administrators, faculty members and security guards does not have concrete understanding of the different threats to campus security. Organizational factors influence over security has obvious bearing on the appreciation of security threats and the mechanics on how to handle them effectively. If these factors are addressed, experiences of campus goers will virtually increase and experiences improve.

Smoking Behavior of Male Students in Islamic Boarding Schools: A qualitative Study

ABSTRACT
An Islamic boarding school is a place for the learning process for Muslim students. As a location for providing education, this place is one of the areas that apply no-smoking regulations. Male students who study at the Islamic boarding school faced obedience to the no-smoking area rules. This study used in-depth interviews and non-participant observation to track the smoking behavior of males aged 13-17 at Islamic boarding schools. In this study, nine male students and one teacher became the participants. Using a phenomenological design, traced the research subjects' values and self-control regarding their smoking behavior in the dormitory area. The values attached to smoking students are; want to look handsome, cool, macho, and accepted in the society. Meanwhile, self-control aspects include; doing candy-snacking distractions, interacting with non-smoking friends, and considering the sanctions that will be received if caught.
The existence of violations committed by male students, who smoke in Islamic boarding schools with strict rules, requires an approach that understands their condition. Shifting smoking behavior can be replaced by providing literacy about life skills to increase male students& capacity to stop smoking in this area.

The Victims who Refused to be Rescued: Lived Experiences of Victims of Sex Trafficking

ABSTRACT
While many are at risk of becoming victims of sex trafficking, there are still unrescued victims. This study seeks to answer why victims of sex trafficking refuse to leave the environment in which they have been and continue to be victimized. It utilized a phenomenological study to reveal the experiences of the victims of sex trafficking through interviews as further supported by a group discussion amongst pimps. The study found that participants&need for income and desires to improve their lifestyle Influenced their decision to remain victims. Anent, the victims' pre-victimization life status is linked to their decision to stay/leave. The more destitute the victims, the more likely they are to remain in the sex industry. Furthermore, despite the abuses, victims&perceptions of their victimization have positively shifted over the years of captivity. The participants personally perceived themselves from forced victims to persons who maintain their victimization as profession. The economic-benefit, the deception of the pimps, and culture of the locale collectively play apart on this shift of perception. The study comes to an unusual conclusion about victimization in sex trafficking. Recognizing this phenomenon may prompt better interventions by authorities in developing more inclusive rescue, counseling, and victim-centered programs.

Disaster Risk Reduction Management in High Risk Barangays in Baguio City: Level of Implementation and Challenges

ABSTRACT
Disasters occur all around the world, with varying degrees of impact and severity. By implementing risk reduction strategies, communities can become less vulnerable to the effects of disasters. In the Philippines, RA 10121 created the Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Committee (BDRRMC), but still lacks resiliency. Triangulation method was utilized in the research to evaluate the BDRRMC&capability using a reliability- and validity-tested questionnaire to the respondents from the high-risk barangays in Baguio City, Philippines. Single-factor ANOVA results showed that BDRRMC has a very high level of implementation in disaster management, emphasizing on length of service and age as two key attributes that shows significant difference that affects level of implementation based on the p-value result. In terms of challenges encountered, despite help from the local government unit, it is constrained by inefficient mobilization and dispatch of rescue teams during disaster response. Followed by the three important themes: the necessity of formulating plans, appropriate budget allocation, and strengthening constituent engagement as revealed in the case study which further confirms that DRRM officers are limited in their potential to be proactive than reactive during disaster operations.

EFFECTS OF PARENTAL ALIENATION: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY

ABSTRACT
Parental alienation is a growing concern today. Many children grow up without the care and love of their parents. As a result, there are feelings of emotional rejection felt by the children, and some lead to a life of delinquency. This research aims to discover the effects of parental alienation and coping mechanisms of alienated children toward a better life. It utilized a qualitative research method through a phenomenological approach through an interview of four alienated children. The study reveals that the participants who have experienced parental alienation suffer from internal and external behavioral problems and search for their identity after reaching adulthood, which also leads to devastating complex trauma and low self-esteem. With this, parental alienation calls for a child protection response since it can be a form of collective abuse and the custodial parents may safeguard the child’s relationship with an alienated parent to avoid negative views through counseling or focused group discussion, the Department of Social welfare and Development (DSWD) and Children Protection Desk (WCPD) can implement a Family Bridge Program an educational and experiential workshop that helps unreasonably alienated children and adolescents adjust to living with a parent they claim to hate or fear.

Data-Driven Culture and Organizational Performance in Public Sector: The Mediation of Data Analytics Capabilities and Knowledge Management

ABSTRACT
Organizational performance is so important in the public sector. Big data analytics become a concern in the Financial Education and Training Agency (FETA), Ministry of Finance, Republic of Indonesia but any results of key performance indicators suffer decreases. Having been the main factor to enhance performance, data-driven culture still needs attention because its role doesn’t show consistent empirical study results. It is still a limited amount of research explaining the comprehensive model in the public sector about data-driven culture, big data analytics capabilities, knowledge management, organizational innovation, and organizational performance. Based on recent literature, this study was built aiming to show how the model worked. Complete survey data were gathered from 101 middle managers, line managers, data experts, and users in all working FETA units. Using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), the results confirmed that data-driven culture influenced organizational performance through big data analytics capabilities, knowledge management, and organizational innovation. The influence of data-driven culture on organizational innovation was mediated by big data analytics capabilities. Knowledge management mediated the influence of big data analytics capabilities on organizational innovation. The result also revealed that data-driven culture wasn’t a moderator. The outcomes of this study helped the organization to understand the importance of data-driven culture, big data analytics capabilities, and knowledge management. Improving them with many HRD programs, such as intensive education and training might be a solution.
Keywords: data-driven culture, big data analytics capabilities, knowledge management, innovation, performance, PLS-SEM, public sector.

Developing Motion Detection approach through Image Processing using Kalman Filtering and Gaussian Mixture Model.

ABSTRACT
Motion tracking through image processing requires validating the subject's presence which can use for automated systems. However, detecting a moving subject in a real-time video is a complex approach in terms of visual scenes. The Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is a flexible tool for image processing modeling. The concept of Kalman Filtering can be applied for noise filtering of a real-time video and tracking the motion in the image. The algorithms used in this study are to develop a motion-tracking system that uses a bounding box to assign tracks to the detected motion. The algorithm developed in MATLAB software includes the parameters for the Kalman Filtering and GMM. The testing involved an IP camera, Arduino Uno as the indicator if motion is detected, and different values of the parameters for the training frame. The confusion matrix is used for the statistical analysis of the five trials to detect the True Positive and measure the system & accuracy. The study showed promising results as it obtained a true positive rate of 0.6000 from trial 4, having the applied parameters of 3 for the gaussian number, 110 for the training frame, and 0.4 for the minimum background ratio.

Hotel Services Ordering, Delivering System based on Internet of Things

ABSTRACT
Recently, most of hotel and restaurants services were extremely difficult to be accessible due to COVID-19 lockdown. Generally, the traditional way of menu ordering in hotels are done through menu provided in form of menu card. From menu card the customer has to request the item he/she prefers and then call the waiter to come and take the order to Trading post. This method demonstrates several disadvantages resulting to time consuming and requires human interactions which can speeds up covid-19 spread. Due to these reasons, this paper will discuss on effective methods to pre-ordered the menu and therefore, the delivering system will receive the ordered information and automatically go to the Trading post and deliver ordered menu to the requested client in his/her respective sitting place. In addition to that, Client in his/ her place will also track the service in progress by using menu ordering system. The menu ordering system will be a web-based application that will be accessed with help of electronic gadget like android phones, computer and tablet. Therefore, menu ordering system will communicate to the delivering system and it should be contained the location for directing the delivering system. This project is user-friendly, time saving, human error minimization and provide customer feedback.

Government to Person (G2P) Distribution Model of Social Assistance and Linkages of Socio-Economic Resilience in Urban and Rural Coastal Areas in Indonesia

ABSTRACT
The direct assistance program for poor households (Government to Person/G2P) is an approach to overcoming poverty in Indonesia. This research seeks to reveal (research objectives) four things, namely the success rate of social assistance distribution, the relationship between social assistance distribution (success) and household socioeconomic resilience, and analyze the factors that cause the success of the distribution of assistance. At the end of the study, a conceptual model of the achievements and shortcomings of aid distribution is presented. This study uses a mixed research approach (qualitative and followed by quantitative). This study involved 461 heads of households, and 23 key informants came from the Regional Government and Program Facilitators. The qualitative data was then tested for validity in a non-parametric quantitative way using Wilcoxon software. This study found that the distribution of aid was categorized as successful (ideal conditions were expected to be very successful). There is an influence between the successful distribution of assistance on household socio-economic resilience. Factors causing the success or failure of the distribution of assistance come from the program manager (external) and from the household itself (internal).

Performance of the Food Crops Sector Amidst Pressure from Changes in Land Cover and Fluctuations in Water Discharge in the Konaweha Watershed

ABSTRACT
The research aims to analyze the performance of the regional economy and the food crop sector amid pressures from changes in land cover and fluctuations in water discharge in the Konaweha Watershed, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The research data use secondary and primary data (land cover change survey). The database uses annual data (time series) between 2014-2021. Specifically, data on changes in land cover and water discharge in 2021 are compared with primary data (surveys). Regional economic data (GRDP) and food crops use secondary data. The results of the analysis show that the Konaweha Watershed during 2014-2021 experienced changes in land cover with a pattern of decreasing vegetation area and increasing built-up area. Water discharge decreased significantly with extreme decreases starting to occur in 2015, 2016, and 2017, and then starting to show a decrease in 2021. Watershed pressure which is marked by changes in land cover and decreased discharge in turn has an impact on regional economic performance, especially for food crops, horticulture, and plantations. It was found that changes in watershed land cover had significant implications for water discharge (decrease) so it had a negative impact on food availability (food crop commodities, horticultural commodities, and plantation crop commodities, respectively). If the pressure on watershed resources continues, it will have broad consequences (not only on the aspects studied in this study) that are difficult to predict. These results indicate that there is a need for immediate efforts to control this phenomenon in order to ensure food availability in the future.

The Role of Investment on Social Welfare, Economic Growth, and Labor Absorption: Cases in Mineral Mining Areas

ABSTRACT
The main objective of the development of a country is to realize social welfare or what is commonly termed prosperity. Investment is seen as one of the key drivers in creating social welfare. Another opinion is that prosperity will be realized when there is an improvement (growth) in the economy, and welfare will be created when people have jobs (in this study it is proportionate to labor absorption). This study analyzes the role of investment in creating social welfare for the community through economic growth and employment. Using a quantitative approach to test the theory with an explanatory design. Using secondary data that is a time series for the period 2006-2020. Data were analyzed using depth analysis techniques. The results of the analysis found that investment is considered to play a role in social welfare, economic growth, and employment. Next, that economic growth and employment have not been able to play a role in the social welfare of the community. Finally, that investment plays a role in social welfare both through economic growth and through employment.

COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY OF APPLICATIONS OF DATA MINING TECHNIQUES IN HEALTHCARE

ABSTRACT
The investigation and diagnosis of many health conditions now heavily rely on data mining techniques. Still, relatively little research has been started on neurodegenerative diseases or neurological medical informatics. Alzheimer is the leading neurological disease and Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second significant neurodegenerative disease, which causes severe obstacles for patients. The term "tremor" also applies to this Parkinson’s disease. 'Bradykinesia', loss of automatic motions, changes in speaking and writing, and early-stage trouble walking are among the symptoms of this condition that are frequently experienced.Millions of people throughout the world suffer from PD, a neurological condition. Due to a lack of established detection techniques, the majority of instances go undiscovered.Through the use of data mining tools, this research seeks to review the literature on the diagnosis, stages, and management of PD (DMT).this paper instigates the research happening in Parkinson's disease. The role of data mining techniques are surveyed and comparisons are presented.

The Impact of Mandal Commission on OBCs Politics of Bihar

ABSTRACT
This paper examines the impact of the Mandal Commission on OBCs politics in Bihar and its role in promoting socio-economic advancement for OBCs in India. The paper reviews the literature on the socio-economic disparities faced by OBCs in accessing education and employment opportunities and the legal and constitutional aspects of affirmative action measures. The analysis of the implementation of reservation policies in Bihar and India indicates that the Mandal Commission's recommendations played a crucial role in the political mobilization of OBCs and the implementation of affirmative action measures in education and employment. The implementation of reservation policies resulted in the increased representation of OBCs in various sectors, including government jobs, education, and politics, and the emergence of OBC leaders in Indian politics. The analysis suggests that the implementation of reservation policies has faced significant challenges, including the need for regular review and updating of the list of socially and educationally backward classes and the opposition of upper castes to reservation policies. The paper emphasizes the need for continued efforts to address the socio-economic disparities faced by OBCs in Bihar and India through affirmative action measures. In conclusion, the paper highlights the role of affirmative action measures in promoting social and economic equality and the need for continued efforts to address the socio-economic disparities faced by OBCs in Bihar and India. The paper suggests the need for regular review and updating of the list of socially and educationally backward classes, addressing the opposition to reservation policies, and promoting the implementation of affirmative action measures that address the socio-economic disparities faced by OBCs in Bihar and India.

Comparative Analysis of Flow Measurement by Coriolis Meter and Flow Nozzle Device

ABSTRACT
This study describes the experimental objectives, installation, and the results of the comparison of the Coriolis and flow nozzle flow-meters in fluid flow measurements. Discussed are variations between the two types of flow-meters due to fluid flow characteristics, measurement, configuration and effect. Also included in this paper are estimations of measurement uncertainties for both types of flow-meters. Results indicate that when the diameter of the flow nozzle throat and the tube diameter of the Coriolis flow meter are the same (28, 30 and 32mm), the pressure drop across the Coriolis flow meter was 29.50, 39.00 and 43.51 Psi respectively while that of the flow nozzle was 23.67, 25.33 and 25.70 Psi respectively. The reason for the increase in the pressure drop across the Coriolis flow meter over the flow nozzle device is partly due to the fact that head loss is lesser in the Coriolis flow meter. Also, the Coriolis flow meter is less affected by upstream flow disturbance which makes it a preferable option for fluid flow measurement.

ABSTRACT
Emotional intelligence has been cited as one of the innovations in this century particularly valuable in testing the low-order personality trait, of which is the trait model of emotional intelligence. Another set of emotional intelligence test lies in the ability model, which is not assessed in this study. This study investigates the trait emotional intelligence and its association with working environmental factors, namely organisational culture, cultural competence and cultural awareness; and spiritual intelligence among 165 doctors working in 5 different state hospitals in Malaysia. The state hospitals chosen were from the 5 different regions in Malaysia, namely the Hospital Pulau Pinang, Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab 2, Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Hospital Sultanah Aminah Johor Bahru, and Hospital Umum Sarawak. The results show that the Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT), Competing Value Framework (CVF), Cultural Competence Assessment (CCA), Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Inventory (SISRI), Interpersonal Support Evaluation List-12 (ISEL-12), are significant, whereas Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI) is mediocre in the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) test, whereas Bartlett’s test of sphericity shows that all are significant for Principal Component Analysis. The construct validity and reliability were tested for all these items and results were as shown. In conclusion, this pilot study has been successful in helping to form a desirable tool to measure emotional intelligence among doctors in government hospitals in Malaysia and its associated working environmental factors and spiritual intelligence.

Paper Title

Rasch Modelling in the Mathematical Reflective Thinking Scale for 21st Century Filipino Senior High School Learners

ABSTRACT
This study is descriptive-correlational which aimed at deriving inputs for enhancing pedagogical practices in college mathematics in harmony with outcomes-based education (OBE). Through survey method, data were gathered from 50 randomly selected college Math instructors from five private universities and colleges and two state universities. Data were analyzed using chi-square test, ANOVA and logistic regression. Results show that most of the instructors frequently use lecture method, few frequently use cooperative learning, and even fewer frequently use inquiry-based learning. In general, the participants do not differ in their attitudes whether they know or apply the cooperative learning and inquiry-based approaches or not. The study concludes that Math instructors who are knowledgeable about a specific instructional practice and have a more favorable attitude towards it may lead to frequent application. Knowledge and attitude are good predictors of non-application of cooperative learning and inquiry-based learning; however, having favorable attitude does not necessarily translate to frequent application of these instructional practices. This implies that the prediction of application of the student-centered pedagogical practices can be attributed to many factors. School administrators may consider intensifying the monitoring, documenting and following-up of instructors’ practices to ensure attainments of OBE targets. In addition, performance evaluation tools may be designed and standardized based on OBE requirements. Mentoring could be supported by mentoring program intended to boost the competence of Math instructors in applying student-centered pedagogical approaches.

Dyosa or Dusa? (Goddess of Beauty or Suffering?): An Intersectional Positioning Analysis of Bakla, Gay Men, and Transwomen in Super Sireyna and Suffer Sireyna

ABSTRACT
Following an essentialist perspective, available research has largely equated lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people with discrimination. However, other studies have documented that in some spaces, LGBT people are able to obtain recognition. Extant literature nevertheless continues to be silent on the discursive production by which LGBT people experience discrimination or secure recognition. This study explored how discrimination or recognition among LGBT people is discursively produced in social interactions. I argue that LGBT identities do not always inherently evoke discrimination. Rather, these identities are ascribed personal and moral attributes to produce discrimination or recognition. In locating how these social categories are assigned attributes, I looked at two popular segments in Eat Bulaga!, a popular noontime television show in the Philippines. Using intersectional positioning as lens, I specifically explored how personal and moral attributes are ascribed to the bakla, gay men, and transgender women candidates in Suffer Sireyna and Super Sireyna pageants. Implications of the results of the study are discussed in terms of how the duty to accept ridicule and the right to gain respect are ascribed among the candidates as well as their corresponding material consequences.
Keywords: positioning theory, discourse, LGBT persons, pageants, discrimination, recognition.

COVID-19 Impacts and Building New Resilience: A Comparative Analysis Between Japan and Philippines

ABSTRACT
In light of the world leaders’ response to the critical time of pandemic, this paper offers first- hand evidence of the perceived impacts of pandemic and resiliency in quarantined communities in two different country settings. The study utilized a comparative sequential approach to determine the impacts of Covid 19 and to analyze comparatively the social resilience of two Asian countries with opposing global economic status, Philippines and Japan. Due to the global condition caused by the pandemic, administration of the online survey was performed. Resiliency survey questions were tailored for suitability within the context of the coronavirus pandemic and for face validity. Instruments used in this study consist of a Japanese translation for ease of use and understanding of the community respondents in Japan. Results of analysis using the Structural Equation Modeling revealed perceived impacts of Covid-19 pandemic significantly influence perceived social resilience of communities in both countries. Impacts of Covid-19 outbreak similarly showed significant influence on building new resilience of communities in two countries. Resilience was anchored on reactive and proactive capacities of communities. Implications of this study would contribute to the sustainable futures of the communities focusing on intervention models to mitigate the long-term impacts of the pandemic. Further research should be done on the development of policies and programs for government implementation to manage and mitigate social complexities brought about by pandemic. Linking through mediation analysis of resilience factors for sustainable development would be a great contribution to knowledge.
