This study aimed at investigating the effects of teachers’ personal and professional demographic characteristics on students’ academic performance in English. To achieve this aim, the researcher used a sample of 37 English secondary teachers and 400 students in the District of Plaridel, Schools Division Office of Bulacan during the academic year 2018-2019. The researcher used the descriptive-correlational method of research, which used a researcher-made questionnaire as the primary data gathering technique. The results of the regression analysis show that the eight (8) variables of the personal demographic characteristics and the four (4) variables of the professional demographic characteristics affect students’ academic performance in English to a various extent as shown by the non-zero coefficients. Results of the analysis of variance of the regression of personal and professional demographic characteristics on students’ academic performance revealed an Fvalue of .955 with a p-value of .490 and an F-value of 1.197 with a p-value of .331. Since the associated probability of the F-value is higher than alpha (0.05), the null hypothesis has to be sustained. This means that all variables of the personal and professional demographic characteristics do not exert significant effects on students’ academic performance in English. Conclusions were drawn and recommendations were offered.

This study aimed at investigating the effects of students' study habits on their academic performance in professional and general education subjects. To attain this aim, the researcher used a sample of thirty-two (32) students from the Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Technology program under the College of Allied Medical Sciences for the academic year 2019–2020 of a university in Bulacan. The researcher used the descriptive-correlational method of research, which utilized a standardized questionnaire as the primary data gathering technique. Results of the regression analysis indicate that all eight (8) variables of study habits are correlated with academic performance (professional subjects and general education subjects) of the students to a varying extent, as shown by the non-zero B coefficients. The results of the analysis of variance of the regression of study habits on the academic performance of the students revealed an F ratio of 0.939 and 0.900 with an associate probability equal to 0.505 and 0.533, respectively. Since the p-values are greater than alpha, the null hypothesis (Ho) cannot be rejected. It may be safely concluded that the study habits of the students did not produce significant combined effects on the academic performance of the students. Conclusions were drawn, and recommendations were offered.

Objectives: The present study seeks to examine the perception of the graduate students and pensioners of some selected localities of Kolkata about the importance of ATMs as a branch surrogate, impact of the ceiling on withdrawals from ATMs, and the strategies to win over the capping for the customers as well as for the banks to retain them. Participants and Data collection: It obtained primary data from 200 respondents consisting of 140 graduate students and 60 pensioners using different non-probability sampling techniques through schedule and personal interviews. Research Methods: Different statistical tests like factor analysis, Mann Whitney U test, students t-test, regression analysis, and descriptive statistics were performed to assess support for the hypotheses. The reliability of the questions and sample adequacy test was also carried out. Through factor analysis, five major factors viz. perceptions about ATM- an avatar for banks, customers satisfaction in ATM services, customers repercussion on capping, financial planning for withdrawals, and strategies for customers to avoid charges and for banks to retain them were extracted. Results: The results of the study suggest that youth prefer to use ATMs which has become indispensable and provide diversified financial services that leads to customers satisfaction, but withdrawing now requires some planning as customers need to visit branches to avoid fees. To retain the customers the banks should encourage the use of more electronic cards and net banking, should not charge for withdrawing own funds, allow them to access even the non-home branch ATMs close to the their locality, should reduce the minimum average floor balance to enjoy free unlimited access of home bank ATMs and keep currency of higher denomination to reduce the number of transactions.

The Impact

The aim of this article was to determine the significance of modern marketing communication channels used in the process of shaping the external image of an enterprise as an employer. An analysis of the world literature on marketing, management, marketing communication and human resource management was used to prepare the theoretical part. The results of the analysis indicate a cognitive and research gap regarding the use of modern communication channels for building the external image of an enterprise in the role of an employer. In order to reduce the gap, empirical studies were conducted among young Polish potential employees, in which the survey method was used to gather primary data. The collected data were subjected to statistical analysis, during which the following methods and statistical tests were applied: the analysis of average values, exploratory factor analysis, Kruskal–Wallis test (KW), Pearson chi-square independence test and V-Cramer coefficient analysis. The results of the analyses conducted indicate, inter alia, that statistically significant diversity was identified in the case of non-professional media in terms of respondents’ opinions on whether the employer’s image created by modern media is better than the employer’s image created on the basis of classical marketing communication channels. In the case of professional and non-professional media, the age of the respondents was not a differentiating feature. Moreover, neither for professional media nor for non-professional media were statistically significant dependencies identified between respondents’ opinions on the impact of actions undertaken by enterprises on shaping their positive external image as an employer and respondents’ opinions on whether the employer’s image created on the basis of modern marketing communication channels is more beneficial than the employer’s image created on the basis of classical marketing communication channels. The results obtained on the basis of the research have a cognitive and applicability value, characterized by originality. Until now, the importance of using modern marketing communication channels in shaping the employer’s external image has not been analysed. This also applies to enterprises operating on the energy market.

Collaborative Learning (CL) is an approach to teaching and learning that involves a group of learners working together. The study aims to assess collaborative learning effects in the 21st-century teaching-learning landscape, particularly on the students' cognitive, affective and psychomotor dimensions. This study utilized the descriptive-evaluative method of research with a validated questionnaire as the primary data gathering instrument. Results showed that females dominate male students as to their number in first and second-year levels. The majority of the respondents aged 20 and below have participated in various collaborative activities and assignments in and out of the class with a typical size of 5 to 7 group members. Collaborative learning found to have a very high effect on Students' Academic Learning (cognitive), Collaborative Skills (affective) and least on Skills development (psychomotor). The researchers recommend that male students be engaged in group dynamics and learning activities; it must involve teenagers and suffice their activities' preference. Activities that demand greater participation, drills and exercises, and thinking activities must allow the students to develop their cognitive, affective, and psychomotor dimensions for holistic learning.

Latar Belakang: Mobilisasi dini pada ibu nifas bertujuan untuk membantu menguatkan otot-otot perut, sehingga memperbaiki sirkulasi darah ke seluruh tubuh. Hal ini harus dipenuhi ibu selama masa nifas untuk mengembalikan organ-organ reproduksi, terutama untuk ibu yang post sectio caesaria. Mobilisasi pada ibu post sectio caesaria adalah suatu pergerakan, posisi atau adanya kegiatan yang dilakukan ibu setelah beberapa jam melahirkan dengan persalinan Caesar Namun, kenyataannya masih banyak ibu post sectio caesaria yang tidak mau melakukan mobilisasi dini karena merasa takut, malas untuk bergerak, merasa sakit dan lelah. Faktor fisiologis seperti kenaikan suhu tubuh (hipertermi), perdarahan yang berlebihan, nyeri, faktoe emosional seperti terjadinya kecemasan dan factor perkembangan seperti usia dan paritas.Tujuan: Penelitian untuk mengetahui hubungan paritas dengan pengetahuan ibu post Sectio caesaria tentang mobilisasi dini di RSUD Doris Sylvanus Palangka Raya Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah.Metode: Desain penelitian  ini  bersifat kuantitatif analitik observasional dengan menggunakan jenis desain cross sectional dengan tehnik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan adalah Accidental Sampling. Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah seluruh ibu post sectio caesaria  di RSUD dr. Doris Sylvanus Palangka Raya. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan data primer.Data dianalisis secara chi square. Hasil: Hasil uji statistik diperoleh P value 0,964, berarti tidak ada perbedaan secara bermakna sehingga dapat disimpulkan tidak ada hubungan antara paritas dengan pengetahuan ibu post sectio caesaria tentang mobilisasi dini.Simpulan: Ibu post sectio caesaria dengan paritas 2 agar tetap diberikan informasi mengenai mobilisasi dini post sectio caesaria agar ibu memiliki pengetahuan yang baik, jika ibu memiliki pengetahuan yang baik mengenai mobilisasi maka ibu akan melaksanakan mobilisasi diniKata Kunci: Paritas, Ibu post sectio caesaria, Mobilisasi Dini. Background: Early mobilization of the postpartum mother aims to help strengthen the abdominal muscles, thereby improving blood circulation throughout. This must be fulfilled by the mother during puerperium to restore the reproductive organs, especially for mothers who are post sectional caesaria.  Mobilization of post sectio caesaria mothers is a movement, position or activity carried out by the mother after several hours of childbirth with caesarean delivery. However, in reality there are still many post sectio caesaria mothers who do not want to make early mobilization because they are afraid, lazy to move, feel sick and tiredPhysiological factors such as increased body temperature (hypertension), excessive bleeding, pain, emotional factors such as anxiety and developmental factors such as age and parity. Objective: The study was to find out the relationship between parity and post Sectio caesaria mother's knowledge about early mobilization in Doris Sylvanus Hospital in Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan Province.Method: The design of this study was quantitative analytic observational using a cross sectional design with the sampling technique used was accidental sampling.

Cutting is the process in which goods or garment material are cut and converted into pattern shapes of the goods or garment components. There are two methods of Leather cutting, which are hand cutting and machine cutting. Hand cutting is done with the use of hand knife, cutting board and cutting patterns. Machine cutting can be done using semi-automatic cutting machines or fully-automatic cutting machines. Currently, in Ethiopia, different local and foreign investors are participating in leather products manufacturing. Most of the leather product manufacturing industry and some Small and Medium enterprise’s (SME’s) in the country are using leather cutting machines in order to cut leather goods or garment parts. Most of the industry and SMEs are using imported cutting board made of plastics and rubbers. However, these cutting boards are expensive.   This research aimed at developing a cutting board made from HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) plastic waste as main material, calcium carbonate as a filler and glass fiber as a reinforcing material. Primary and secondary data gathering techniques were applied simultaneously. Primary data were collected through interview and field observation. Secondary data was gathered by reviewing different literature. The cutting board developed through collecting HDPE plastic waste, washing, shredding and melting the shredded plastic with filler and reinforcing material. The melted plastic poured in to cutting board mold and cooled. The developed cutting board was compared with HDPE cutting board available in the local market. The developed board showed relative compression and hardness properties with the HDPE cutting board available in the market. In the cost analysis, the developed cutting board is cheaper than the cutting board which available in the market. However, the cutting board in the market has better surface texture and quality than the developed cutting board. Melting HDPE plastic waste using metal or clay cooking pots and charcoal fire is a tedious task and smoke from the fire will cause human health problem and will affect environment. Consequently, manual plastic melting method is not feasible for mass production, because it is difficult to control the amount of heat (charcoal fire) during melting process. Based on this the authors recommend using machine based plastic melting and molding during HDPE and related plastic recycling.
