Knowledge Building on Climate Change among Women in Flood-Prone Communities in Cotabato City

According to the United Nations (UN), disaster situations such as flooding in South and East Asia are increasingly linked to climate change, and the greater vulnerability of women is most striking. Women typically outnumber men by 14 to 1 among those dying from natural disaster. Due to the scarcity of studies which document knowledge building on climate change among women particularly in flood-prone communities in Cotabato City prompted the researcher to conduct this study. Using an exploratory research design, 289 respondents were interviewed using questionnaires. Mean, frequency, and percentage were also utilized. Findings revealed that six out of seven women had heard about climate change and all have experienced its serious effects. Women had moderate knowledge on climate change. There was a significant difference in women’s knowledge when grouped according to age, educational attainment, and length of stay in the community. Women have some correct understanding of the issue yet they have misconceptions about the scientific causes and effects of climate change. Hence, the DepEd and CHED must ensure the integration of climate change and its full implementation in the basic education and the new tertiary general education curricula. This mechanism will ensure the building of knowledge and capacity of the youth on climate change.

PREVENTION OF RISK FACTORS OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN NURSING

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease, in terms of its frequency, the severity of organ damage, and the consequences for the health of the population constitutes one of the most pressing problems of our population. The prevention of subsequent coronary events and the maintenance of physical functioning in such patients are a major challenge in preventive care. However, many patients opt for a change in their lifestyle, some with the support of a health professional.Objective: This empirical survey focuses on the knowledge of respondents about preventing cardiovascular disease. Statistical methods determine the differences between males and females in attending preventive check-ups, understanding and observing risk factors in their lifestyle, and having an interest in changing their lifestyle.Methods: The survey uses a non-standardized questionnaire. Apart from demographic data, the questionnaire had 10 items assessing the respondent’s knowledge of risk factors for cardiovascular disease, 10 on lifestyle and attitudes to the change in lifestyle, and five regarding their interest in education about the subject. Exploratory data includes answers from 70 respondents, who were outpatients in a general practitioner’s department. Of these, 32 are males (46.0%) and 38 are females (54.0%). Results of the survey are analyzed using the Chi-Squared test. Results: Fifty-four of the 70 respondents (55.7%; 20 males and 34 females) undertake preventive check-ups at the general practitioner’s department at least once in two years. No significant differences present between males and females in attending preventive check-ups (χ2 = 3.455; df = 1; P = 0.05) and in showing a willingness for a lifestyle change (χ2 = 1.789; P = 0.05). However, based on the given data, a significant difference presents between males and females regarding proper regime observance (χ2 = 18.651; df = 1; P = 0.05). For example, females know the observance of a healthy diet is necessary for preventing ischemic heart disease (χ2 = 20.124; df = 1; P = 0.05).Conclusion: The study shows that the difference between males and females is significant regarding their understanding of risk factors related to lifestyle and proper regime observance. Thus, education could lead to reducing or eliminating such risk factors. Prevention of risk factors is complex and lifelong. Under conditions of the Slovak health service, registered nurses are responsible for the education of patients.

Faktor resiko terjadi infestasi kutu pada anak-anak di panti asuhan

Infestation with lice is most common among preschool- and elementary school-age children and their household members and caretakers hence becoming an increasing problem in orphanage because of the poor hygiene and knowledge of children on lice. This study explores about the risk factor of knowledge, social risk and personal risk among the students who are living in the orphanage. Study design chosen for this research is descriptive study with 98 student from two orphanages home as respondents. Questionnaires were given to answer to all the 98 respondents. The questionnaire were subdivided into three section to determine the respondent’s knowledge, social and personal risk. Later on the risk factors were evaluated according to the score and categorized into categories to determine the risk level. Among all the 98 respondents it is known most of the students have adequate knowledge about lice and infestation of lice shows that the students knows about lice, and average risk in social history which shows there is a chance of infestation from this risk factor because of the close living conditions, it was also show that the students have good personal history which shows that the responders have good personal behavior and hygiene, the risk factors was also researched using the difference between the orphanages and the age of the responder for a better understand of the risk factor. Thus, it is concluded that lice infestation risk in the orphanage is low considered as the students have adequate knowledge, social and personal risk. The results of this research could be applied as an analytical studies for further research in lice infestation.

An Analysis of Positive Politeness Strategies in Alex Kurtzman Film “People Like Us”

People normally behave in accordance with their hope concerning their public self-image or face wants to be respected. Face means public self-image of a person; it refers to the emotional and social sense of self that everyone has and expects everyone to recognize (Yule, 2010). Face has two aspects, positive and negative. An individual’s positive face is reflected in his or her desires to be liked, approved of, respected of and appreciated by others. While an individual’s negative face is reflected in the desire not be impeded or put upon, to have the freedom to act as one chooses (Thomas, 1995:169). Therefore, people in their relationship need to preserve both kinds of faces for themselves and the people they interact with the politeness utterances. Considering the phenomena above, the speaker should be able to produce the suitable politeness strategy for being considered as a polite person. Furthermore, the writer is attracted to analyze the politeness strategies based on Brown and Levinson’s politeness strategy in a film. The film entitled “People Like Us” has a good solid story of a young man dealing with both his family and keeping his job. The story puts the situation most in a public area, where the different statuses such as family, friend, client, boss or the superior interact as the result there are many politeness strategy employed in this movie. The writer found out there are 15 strategies of positive politeness strategies based on Brown and Levinson. All the kinds of those strategies are employed by the main characters in the Alex Kurtzman film People Like Us. Namely notice, attend to hearer; exaggerate; intensify interest to the hearer; use in-group identity markers; seek agreement; avoid disagreement; presuppose/rise/assert common ground; joke; assert or presuppose S’s knowledge of and concern for H’s wants; offer, promise; be optimistic; include both the speaker and the hearer in the activity; give (or ask for) reason; assume or assert reciprocity; give gift to the hearer. Furthermore, it is discovered that there are two factors, namely payoff and circumstances that influence the employment of positive politeness.

PENGARUH PENGETAHUAN TENTANG LINGKUNGAN HIDUP, KEARIFAN LOKAL, LOCUS OF CONTROL, DAN MOTIVASI BERTANI TERHADAP PERILAKU LINGKUNGAN YANG BERTANGGUNG JAWAB PETANI DI KABUPATEN SOPPENG

Responsible environmental behavior is assumed to be significantly affected bay one’s knowledge of the environment, the local wisdom, locus of control motivation farming. The study reported here aimed to examine how the four independent variables actually affected the level of farmers’ responsible behavior towards environment. The causal and multidimensional social study was conducted in the Soppeng Regency of South Sulawesi from July 2009 to October 2009, trough a survey to the paddy farmers in the Liliriaja District. A sample of 120 farmers was made up 30 randomly selected farmers from each of the four purposefully selected sub districts in Liliriaja: Appanang, Galung, Rompegading and Jampu. The data of each variable were collected separately with a questionnaire. A path technique, which was preceded by normality and variance homogeneity tests, was employed to analyze the data descriptively and inferentially. The results proved that the farmers’ farming motivation and their responsible environmental behavior, respectively, was directly affected by their knowledge of the environment, the local wisdom, and the locus of control. The three independent variables also indirectly affected the farmers’ responsible environmental behavior through their motivation in farming. These findings suggest that the variables of environmental knowledge, local wisdom, locus of control and the farmers’ motivation in farming are important determinants of their responsible environmental behavior. Variation in the farmers’ responsible environmental behavior may therefore be minimized by improved knowledge of the environment, local wisdom, locus of control and farming motivation.

Effectiveness of Contraceptive Counseling on Women Knowledge and Practice in Saudi Arabia

Background: Contraceptive counseling that emphasises effective and safe contraception plays a significant role in women’s health. It can help women select contraceptive methods appropriate to their health needs. The study of contraceptive counseling has not been adequately explored in Saudi Arabia (SA). This study aimed to evaluate whether contraceptive counseling was effective at improving women’s overall knowledge and use of contraceptive methods at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH).Objectives: (1) Assess women’s knowledge of contraceptive methods before and after counseling. (2) Explore which contraceptive methods were used before and after counselingMethods: This study used quantitative, quasi-experimental design. A questionnaire was administered to women who had delivered and been admitted to the postnatal unit at KAUH. The tools used in this study were a pre-test questionnaire, a counseling evaluation sheet, and a post-test questionnaire. Purposive sampling was undertaken. Ethical approval was granted from KAUH. Data collection was conducted for four months.Results: A total of 65 women consented to participate in this study. The mean age of the women was 30.1 (SD = 0.77). The majority of women (78%) had poor knowledge scores about contraception before counseling. The most frequently used contraceptive methods before counseling were lactational amenorrhea (breastfeeding), which was used by 60%, followed by withdrawal and minipill, which were each used by 50.8%. Male condom, combined oral contraceptive (COC) pills, fertility awareness and intrauterine devices (IUDs) were used by 46.2%, 43.1%, 27.7% and 18.5% of women, respectively. After counseling, the mean knowledge score increased significantly, from 49.94 to 86.35 points (p < 0.001). After counseling, the actual methods used by study participants were lactational amenorrhea, IUD, COC, minipill, withdrawal, fertility awareness and male condom. The majority of women (91%) were very satisfied with the counseling provided.Conclusions and recommendations: Contraceptive counseling significantly improves women’s knowledge about and use of birth control methods. As a result, this study recommends sustained efforts to encourage women, their husbands and the community to improve contraceptive knowledge and use. Moreover, healthcare providers, especially nurses, should participate in the education of women.

Academics' Perceptions of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) for Sustainable Development

In light of business leaders’ failings, including corporate corruption, the financial crisis and various ecological system crises there is a growing expectation that management education institutions should be leading thought and action on issues related to corporate responsibility and sustainability. Therefore, there is a need to ascertain management education institutions’ ability to ensure responsible and sustainable management education. This paper seeks to assess academics’ perceptions of how the University of KwaZulu-Natal has adopted the United Nation (UN) supported initiative, Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), to ensure responsible and sustainable management education in South Africa. The sample was drawn using the probability sampling technique called cluster sampling. Permanent academic staff from the Graduate School of Business and Leadership and the School of Management, Information Technology and Governance who responded to the structured, self-administered questionnaire formed the sample. Questions asked related to fostering a sustainable culture, strategically adapting curriculum, creating learning environments, aligning research, fostering sustainable partnerships and encouraging constant dialogue with regards to PRME. In order to assess the implementation of the PRME for sustainable development, a quantitative research design was adopted. This is the first study, to the researcher’s knowledge, to examine the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s Graduate School of Business and Leadership and the School of Management, Information Technology and Governance’s motives, effects and challenges of engaging in PRME. The study has also explored key aspects such as the adaptation of teaching practices by the academic staff, the role of academics and diversification that influences the decision of the Graduate School of Business and Leadership and School of Management, Information Technology and Governance to participate in PRME. The results indicate that academic staff in both schools is engaging in activities that pursue the cause of sustainable development. There is evidence of addressing modern societal and environmental challenges by fostering change in design in curricula, fostering a sustainable culture and creating a learning environment. However, evidently more careful and deliberate attention needs to be given to fostering constant dialogue and aligning PRME and research to enhance economic, environmental and social development. This study provides a model/framework to present current practices and obstacles/setbacks experienced in adopting PRME and will present recommendations to facilitate the adoption of PRME by UKZN.

Joint specific power production in cycling: the effect of cadence and athlete level

Introduction When increasing cadence, there is increasing knee joint contribution and decreasing hip contribution to external power [1, 2]. Increasing power output leads to a decrease in knee contribution and an increase in hip contribution [2, 3]. Low cadence (<60 rpm) interval training is a widely used training method, but previous studies have primarily focused on cadences ranging from 60 to 180 rpm, without examining the effect of low cadence on joint contribution. The present study investigates joint-specific power production in recreational and elite cyclists during cycling at a range of different cadences.  Methods Ten recreational cyclists and nine elite cyclists (Continental and ProTour-level) performed cycling bouts at seven different pedaling rates (40 to 100 and freely chosen) and four intensities. Intensities were set at 55 (Int55), 85 (Int85) and 100 % (IntLT) of predetermined lactate threshold (LT) in addition to average 20 min all out power (Int20min). All tests were performed on an indoor cycle trainer with the participants’ private road bike. Joint specific power was calculated from kinematic measurements and pedal forces using inverse dynamics  Results Mean work rate at the four different intensities were 154 W (Int55), 240 W (Int85), 282 W (IntLT) and 322 W (Int20min). The elite group had an average of 32.6 % higher LT and 38.4 % higher 20 min all out power than the recreational group. The knee joint was the major power producer at all cadences, with the exception of low cadence (<60 rpm) where the hip joint were the major power producer (fig. 1.). There was a significant main effect of cadence and intensity on the relative contribution of the hip, knee and ankle joints. At cadences above 60 rpm, increasing cadence led to a significant decrease in relative hip joint power and an increase in relative knee joint power. However, there was no effect of cadence on the relative joint contribution at cadences below 60 rpm. Relative knee joint power increased with increasing intensity, however the relative hip joint power only increased from low to moderate intensity. The elite group had significantly higher relative hip joint power and lower relative knee joint power compared to the recreational group.  Discussion and Conclusions The present study demonstrates that increasing cadence leads to a decrease in relative hip joint power and an increase in relative knee joint power, however, the effect of cadence only occurred above 60 rpm. Elite cyclists have higher relative hip joint contribution, and lower relative knee joint contribution at all cadences and intensities compared to recreational cyclists. This is to the author’s knowledge the first study to report an effect of athlete level on relative joint specific power in cycling. The findings related to the effect of cadence on joint specific power complies with earlier research [1, 2] with the exception of the effect at low cadence (<60 rpm). The lack of an effect of reducing cadence below 60 rpm may have implications for how low cadence training is carried out.
