Development and Acceptability of Web-based Module in Cookery

This study delves into the development and acceptance of a web-based cookery module, aiming to enhance culinary education, particularly in the face of challenges such as the pandemic. These modules offer promising avenues for effective learning experiences and the promotion of self-regulated learning among students. Employing a mixed-method approach utilizing the Input-Process-Output design model, the study involves the validation of the developed module by eight expert practitioners in cookery. Subsequently, its acceptability will be assessed among Senior High School (SHS) Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) students enrolled in cookery subjects during the academic year 2023-2024. Evaluation of the module by teacher experts utilizes a four-point rating scale, drawing from the Guidelines and Processes for Learning Resource Management and Development System (LRMDS) Assessment & Evaluation – Evaluation Rating Sheet for Non-Print Materials (DepEd, 2009), focusing on content quality, instructional quality, technical quality, and other pertinent factors. Similarly, student feedback is gathered through a five-point scale adapted from Venkatesh et al. (2003) and modified by Namoco, S. (2021) to align with the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model, offering both rating scale responses and descriptive interpretations. Both teacher experts and student users are purposefully selected for their insights. Initial findings from the expert evaluation indicate a high recommendation for implementing the web-based module in cookery education. However, ongoing data collection and analysis are underway to gauge student-user acceptability comprehensively. This study underscores the significance of well-designed interactive learning modules in fostering self-regulated learning and enhancing student performance in cookery subjects, notwithstanding the challenges posed by the pandemic and economic constraints.

A study of the migration behavior of formaldehyde in different concentrations of ethanol in paper food materials.

To ensure the safety of food contact materials, a liquid chromatography method was established to determine the migration of formaldehyde in paper packaging with various food simulants (10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 95% ethanol by volume) and to investigate the migration behavior of formaldehyde after various durations and with various materials. The results showed that the method has good linearity with a correlation coefficient of R2 > 0.9990, a detection limit of 0.0011 ~ 0.0027mg L-1, and a spiked recovery of 89.7 ~ 103.2% in the range of formaldehyde determination; the migration of formaldehyde in all six paper contact materials showed a trend of gradual increase with time until equilibrium was reached. At the same time and temperature, the migration of formaldehyde in paper packaging was the highest in low-concentration ethanol. With the same food simulants and materials, the maximum migration of formaldehyde in printed materials was greater than that in nonprinted materials; with different materials and the same food simulant, the thickness value was higher, with the use of water-based ink as a printing material, and the maximum migration value of formaldehyde by offset printing technology was low.

The Notion of the Soul in al-Kindi: Building the Epistemological Foundation of Early Islamic Psychology

The discourse surrounding the nature of the soul, a central theme in the field of psychology, has endured through centuries of scholarly inquiry. Within the rich tapestry of Islamic intellectual heritage, the systematic examination of this topic found its early champion in al-Kindi, a prominent Muslim philosopher. His contributions, as explored in this article, have left an indelible mark on the Islamic and Western traditions of soul study. Employing a library research methodology, this work draws from an array of data sources, including books, articles, pamphlets, and various other printed and non-printed materials. A documentary approach is employed to methodically gather data from these diverse sources, which is subsequently subjected to descriptive analytical scrutiny. This examination yields several key findings. Al-Kindi’s exploration of the soul is wide-ranging, encompassing its definition, its intricate relationship with the human body, its state when separated from the corporeal vessel, and its manifold powers. Of particular significance is the unique role played by the rational faculty, a power intrinsic to humanity that facilitates the generation of knowledge. Furthermore, al-Kindi’s classification of knowledge is both notable and comprehensive, contributing significantly to the development of the nascent field of Islamic psychology. In summation, al-Kindi’s profound insights have laid a robust foundation for the epistemological framework of early Islamic psychology, shaping its trajectory in enduring ways.

Information resources management through ICT application for e-governance: Issues and prospects

The paper examined the place of information resources management through the application of ICT for e-governance. Governance is a process of establishing policies or laws and continuously monitoring their implementation in the public. To make governance process cost effective, easy and convenient to the citizens, information and communication technologies (ICTs) play a vital role. . Information resources are print and non-print materials that could be sourced and accessed manually or electronically, while its management has to do with the ability to know when and why information is needed, where to find it, how to evaluate, use and communicate it in an ethical manner. Using ICTs in governance is referred to as e-governance. Its application therefore helps citizens to participate not only in policy making but also in quality service improvements and getting government services over networks. Challenges such as constraint to infrastructure, human resources, digital divide and social constraint were identified. It was therefore recommended that integrity, transparency and accountability be ensured through the implementation of ICT, network in every public institution, strengthening connectivity among all public institutions, reducing hassle, cost, time, and corruption in public service delivery, among others.

Changing Scenario of Information Use Pattern in the Engineering Colleges in Tamil Nadu

This paper analyses the changing scenario of information use pattern in the academic libraries of Tamilnadu. Libraries play a vital role in higher education and research. In fact, it collects a number of printed documents such as books, journals, magazines, encyclopedia, dictionaries, yearbooks, news papers and non-printed materials like CDs, Microfiche, Microfilms, Databases, e-learning resources related to the courses offered in the college/university in order to meet the various information requirements of users at graduate, post graduate and research levels. The ancient libraries preserved and circulated the information sources in the printed or written forms. But, the development of science and technology have modernized the form of documents and changed the information use pattern of users. It is seen that the present users prefer non-printed materials to printed one. In other words, the demand for non-printed materials is more than the printed one and the time utilized in the information communication technological based information sources and services is more than that in printed documents circulation section. It shows that there is a change in the information use pattern of users in higher educational libraries. Hence an attempt is made to find out the changing scenario of information use pattern and factors motivating it in the higher educational libraries of Tamilnadu.

The Seen and Unseen Benefits of Art Works in Academic Libraries: The Hezekiah Oluwasanmi Library, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife in Perspective

This study was undertaken to draw attention to the scholarship and research potentials of work of arts and to make academic librarians aware of the usefulness of non-printed materials in their endeavour. In most academic libraries, the value of work of arts as primary source research materials has been generally overlooked and undermined by many users. Some academic librarians have not even considered the inclusion of these vital library resources in their collections. The problem could stem from paucity of materials or lack of funds to purchase them. At the Hezekiah Oluwasanmi Library, Ile-Ife, there are quite a number of these collections of work of arts found all around the library reading areas. These works of arts appended to this opinion paper include factors such as: revelations on culture; aesthetics; leisure; recreation; history; economy; communication; social values and so on. This article therefore x-rayed and featured some of these desirable works of arts in libraries so as to justify their inclusion in academic libraries. The need for academic librarians to recognise and add the resources to library collections especially in this era of Resource Description and Access was also discussed. It was recommended that work of arts in academic libraries should be considered as a desirable part of library collection to create awareness, have them displayed at the public areas, corridors, reading rooms, art museums and galleries for proper access to visual information. This would not only showcase the library resources, beautiful the library environment, it would equally add value to the library and keep academic libraries always inviting.

The specificity of the use of bibliotherapy as an element of psychiatric rehabilitation in a group of patients suffering from schizophrenia.

This article emphasizes the characteristics of the application of bibliotherapy in psychiatric rehabilitation of people suffering from chronic schizophrenia. The role of the bibliotherapist and methodology for conducting bibliotherapy for people with chronic schizophrenia are also described. The characteristic symptoms are connected to a patient's perception of the surrounding reality differing from the norm. This may be due to the symptoms of schizophrenia and its course, in which psychoticism can become a regulative part of a patient's personality. The academic definition of bibliotherapy proposed by Ewa Tomasik says that "bibliotherapy is an intentional activity that uses books or non-printed materials to fulfil rehabilitative, re-socializing, prophylactic and developmental aims for people from varying social backgrounds, in different age and with diverse needs". This article focuses on and discusses the structure and course of bibliotherapy sessions embedded in individual and group rehabilitation process. An additional goal is to explain bibliotherapy as an element of the entire system of rehabilitation and therapeutic interactions which has a therapeutic effect for this system, not only in terms of individual classes. Attention is paid to the narrative nature of bibliotherapy, in combination with behavioral-cognitive, humanistic and psychodynamic interactions. Bibliotherapy can help people suffering from chronic schizophrenia to organize their self-narrative and narratives about other people, to make them real and to organize their statements, so that the content and manner of thinking can be regulated.

THE TERM OF DOCUMENTATION IN THE CONTEXT OF LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE EDUCATION IN INDONESIA FROM THE 1950’S TO 2010’S

The purpose of this study is to explore the concept of teaching institutions in Indonesia. The term documentation in the Indonesian library and information Sciences (LIS), which is a translated version of the word “documentatie,” was introduced in the early 1950s by the Training Course for Library Staff as an activity that involves the acquisition, processing, storage and retrieval of documents. Furthermore, the method adopted historically involves the examination of existing historical sources, usually articles, institutional reports, examining textbooks. Moreover, it was reported that documentation is different from library activities, which subsequently extended to the application in government offices. This variation impacts on the daily life, based on the fact that documentation is more concerned with on non-printed materials, laying emphasis on the processing of newspapers and journals, and the movement towards natural sciences. Conversely, the library is concerned with printed data on books, with works that are limited to social sciences and humanities. However, the growing impacts of internet information technology on librarianship and research progress in the aspect of related sciences lead to a query on the similarity and variation between both terms in Indonesia. In the mid-2010s, the Ministry of Research and Higher Education issued a regulation under the auspices of Information Sciences cluster, insinuating the existence of programs, which include (1) Information Science and (2) Library and Information Science (LIS). This paper, however, accepted the concept of variation between Information Science, LIS and documentation, leading to the submission of some suggestions based on its content as a course study in Indonesia. Furthermore, there are no mentions of documentation in this dimension, owing to its obsolete modified meanings. Keywords: Library and Information Sciences, LIS Education, Education program, Documentation Term

Women’s Suffrage Centennial Collections: Bibliography Development and Use

ABSTRACT Libraries are integral in relating current times to past events through their robust collections. One important tool used for collection development is the topical, annotated bibliography vetted by experts in the field. The centennial anniversaries of the Nineteenth Amendment provide an opportunity to strengthen existing collections for circulating and instructional items. An annotated bibliography of materials on women’s suffrage and the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment will be a useful tool for collection development in libraries. The authors are recipients of the 2018 Carnegie Whitney Grant administered by the American Library Association, which provided funding for the creation of the bibliography on the Nineteenth Amendment. This article discusses the research process for locating items for inclusion and how the vetted print and non-print materials can contribute to collection development, program planning, and curriculum enhancement.
