Perspectives of Teachers on the Integration of Assistive Technology in Higher Education Inclusive Classrooms in the Philippines: Importance, Benefits, Social Support, and Challenges

This study explored the perspectives of teachers on using assistive technology (AT) in inclusive higher education classrooms. Although previous research showed AT benefits students with disabilities, there is limited understanding of the challenges, social support, and strategies from teachers' viewpoints in this context. The study also looked at how teachers' demographics—such as age, education, and experience—affect their views on AT. Using a quantitative descriptive correlational design, surveys were given to teachers in various higher education institutions in the 2nd District of Misamis Oriental. The findings revealed that teachers strongly agree on the importance of AT in the classroom and its positive impact on student learning. Despite recognizing challenges, especially a lack of training, they still viewed AT as valuable for independent living, job skills, and community involvement. A strong negative correlation was found between teachers' views on AT and their age, meaning older teachers were less positive about AT integration. In contrast, a strong positive correlation was found between teachers' attitudes and their highest educational qualifications, indicating that teachers with higher qualifications have more favorable views on AT, likely due to better understanding and exposure. The very weak negative correlation between attitudes and years of teaching experience suggested that teaching experience does not significantly affect views on AT. Therefore, professional development in AT should be provided regardless of experience. A strong positive correlation was found between teachers' attitudes and the use of specific AT devices, meaning teachers who use these devices are more positive about AT. The results suggest that while teachers value AT, their views were influenced by age, education, and experience with AT devices. Improving AT training and providing hands-on experience will enhance attitudes toward AT, benefiting students in inclusive classrooms. Tailored professional development programs may also support effective AT use in education.

Patterns of runoff fluctuations of the Dniester River (Ukraine) under conditions of climate change at the beginning of the 21st century

The relevance of the chosen topic is associated with the impact of climate change on fluctuations of water content in Ukrainian rivers. The consequences of warming depend on physical and geographical conditions and vary significantly across different natural zones. The behaviour of catchment areas affected by climate change varies depending on landscape (mountainous or flat terrain) and latitude. This results in instability of boundaries of catchment areas with annual runoff synchronous and out-of-phase fluctuations. The study aims at establishing the patterns of annual runoff fluctuations in the Dniester basin with relation to fluctuations in the maximum runoff of rainfalls and spring floods. The spring floods are the ones that determine a significant part of annual runoff and depend on the impact of warming during the winter season. The study's main method is the method of constructing difference integral curves of annual and maximum rainfalls and maximum spring runoff and their analysis. There are 7 groups (zones) within the Dniester River catchment area identified by the type of difference integral curves of annual runoff. Fluctuations in annual, maximum rain and spring runoff were compared using the curves averaged within each group. The degree of synchronicity of fluctuations was estimated via correlation coefficients between the ordinates of difference integral curves. It was found that the main river oscillations retain their cyclicity along its entire length, even below the Dniester HPP. The last transition to a low-water phase occurred in 2010-2011. It was discovered that the main river's cyclical nature mostly results from fluctuations in the runoff of mountainous Carpathian tributaries that form the Dniester's runoff formation zone. This part of the catchment area is characterized by a high amount of snow and rainfalls feeding the river with the role of rainfalls having a predominant character. In the upper reaches of Carpathian rivers, where the impact of warming is not yet sufficiently pronounced at high altitudes, spring floods play a significant role in runoff formation. In the upper reaches of Carpathian rivers there is an additional zone where fluctuations in annual runoff are caused by both rainfalls and spring floods. The boundaries of this zone (2nd district) may change as the effects of warming increase high in the mountains. On the left-bank tributaries, the runoff fluctuations in Verkhnepodilskyi and Serednepodilskyi districts are similar to those of the main river, however, there is a shift in the dates of the last transition to a low-water phase. The study indicates the likelihood of karst and artificial reservoirs influence. It also indicates a significant difference in the nature of runoff fluctuations of the upper left-bank tributaries (Strvyazh, Vereshchytsia, Shcherek) and lower left-bank tributaries. They are affected by other atmospheric processes and climatic factors associated with such processes.

Social, Environmental and Political dimensions of Roots Crop Value Chain Analysis: The Case of Samar, Philippines

This paper evaluates the Social, Environmental and Political dimensions of Roots Crop Value Chain Analysis in the Case of Samar, Philippines through crop accounting and financial analysis in 2nd district, Western Samar, Philippines. Commercially important crops in Samar are the roots crops that the local farmer are producing for commercial and for personal consummations such as banana, sweet potato, cassava, yam and taro, locally known as “saging na analdaba, kamote, bilanghoy, ube and gaway”respectively, are well-known for their ability to produce a reasonable yield in poor soil conditions with less or no farm inputs. This is the reason why these commercially important crops are often grown by resource-limited farmers and are regarded as a good source of food security and its health benefit. To analyze its productivity, this study was conducted in 2022. Data gathering was primarily done through survey questionnaire, researcher observation and key informant interviews. Results revealed that different gender roles exist where men are primarily responsible for farming while women are for marketing. It also discovered the reason why farmers, though provided with options, often choose the less profitable transaction path, due to perishability of crop. It also solved the mystery of low productivity in this locale as compared with the national and international production. Typhoons, government policies, and pricing mechanisms affect its overall productivity. Cost build-up, value-added, and cost and returns analyses are interesting. Farmers are less profitable yet have the highest opportunity for profitability when the constraints are addressed while sellers have a high degree of profitability due to fewer input costs. The existing entry barriers in each chain were also identified, along with the researcher’s recommendations on how to eliminate or mitigate them.
