Abstract

Using community involvement as a lens, this study analyzed the amount of distribution and utilization of a public higher education institution's research outputs in Bicol, Philippines. The Diffusion and Dissemination Theory alongside the use of Knowledge For health (K4Health) of the United States Agency for. International Development (USAID) Model served as the theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of this study that facilitated the analysis of research produced by the institution, its dissemination, the enablers, and barriers, and until utilization. The case study design was used to portray an in-depth analysis of the institution’s situation from research output generation to the enablers and barriers to research utilization. The analysis of graduate student and faculty research revealed a predominance of quantitative descriptive study on the issue of “research in aid of policies.” Documentary evidence on research outputs utilized in policies, programs, and projects is minimal. For the faculty, the enablers on research utilization are promotions and incentives while for the graduate students it is a provision of better library services and research resources. The faculty considered personal and professional issues as barriers while the graduate students cited accessibility of resources, access policies, and professional/work-related issues. Overall, the utilization of research in the institution characterizes Conceptual Research Utilization (CRU) only. In conclusion, the overall dissemination and utilization of research are still beset with leadership, management, access to dissemination tools, research resources, and researcher motivation issues. Due to insufficient attention being placed on research applications to capacitate and empower the community, the approach contributed to low research output utilization. It is suggested that the proposed action plan based on the findings of this study be implemented.

Abstract

The Republic Act 10912, otherwise known as the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Act of 2016, was passed into law to promote and upgrade the practice of healthcare professions in the Philippines. Since the establishment of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Economic Community (AEC), CPD has been considered an area of development through which Filipino professionals are trained to become globally competitive. The Philippine government upholds several agreements made among ASEAN member-states, including recognizing professionals in every ASEAN country, facilitating the mobility of professions within the region, exchanging expertise on standards and qualifications, promoting best practices, and providing valuable opportunities for the training and capacity building. This policy analysis paper evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of the new law in terms of enhancing the capability of professionals through CPD programs. Thus, this article identified the benefits and burden experienced by Filipino healthcare professionals since its enactment. To name a few, the advantages include improving professional competencies, acquiring and refining the necessary knowledge and skills for career advancement, achieving personal and professional growth, and becoming globally competitive while the disadvantages include high cost and expense, inaccessibility and unavailability of CPD programs, additional requirement despite the work overload, lack of support, time constraints among family and loved ones, and limitations of rest and relaxation. Policy directives in addressing these salient issues in the implementation of the law are also recommended. The CPD is indeed a critical factor in ensuring that Filipino healthcare professionals are empowered and globally competitive. In return, their societal contributions will benefit the country’s welfare and economic growth, continued development toward AEC and globalization, and community engagement within the ASEAN region through mobility.

Abstract

This paper discusses the transgender community's fight for justice and developmental rights since 2014 and the response of the Indian Government toward this assertion. The point of choosing 2014 as the starting point is not because the fight for their justice actually begins in this year but because India witnessed an intensification and an increase in public visibility of transgenders’ mobilization following the recognition of members of transgender communities as legal citizens through the landmark Indian Supreme Court (Court) verdict called the National Legal Services Authority Union of India (NALSA). In documenting transgenders’ mobilization and the state's response, the author has substantially relied on secondary sources—newspaper articles and pieces in magazines, blogs, and other online community networks. The narratives of a few transgender activists and intellectuals reaffirm the critiques offered through the media and online community blogs and networks. It gives one the impression of a neoliberal state, which, while willing to protect the constitutional rights of many marginalized groups, finds it hard to fulfill promises that might require the allocation of substantial fiscal and monetary resources. The consistent collective mobilizations of the transgender communities, however, resulted in some concrete gains and developmental rights.

Abstract

Podcasts have become more popular in Indonesia recently. Studies have shown that video podcasts, which incorporate education and entertainment aspects, are effective as a medium to study language and medical subjects among students and clinicians. This study aims to analyze video podcasts’ utilization in nutrition education and how they can engage viewers from the general community. This paper further aims to describe the development of a video podcast, NutriPodcast, as an innovative media to educate the community regarding nutrition topics. The number of audience views was calculated by utilizing the analytical feature on social media. The methodology to develop the podcast consisted of three stages: design, edit, and distribution. The design stage of the podcast refers to planning the style and length of the podcast and determining the media to be used. The editing stage includes both technological and technical aspects, such as hardware and software equipment. YouTube was chosen as the platform to upload the video podcast. The number of views of the podcast on YouTube was comparable to that of another previous podcast research. Most viewers used smartphones to access video podcasts. People from the 25–34 age group (55.2%) and females (51.5%) made up more than half the proportion of the viewers. It can be concluded that a video podcast provides an opportunity to facilitate a community seeking nutrition and health information.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the benefit of introducing the accounting and finance knowledge for micro and small business enterprises, in particular during the time of the coronavirus disease 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the micro and small enterprises. A large number of industries faced the risk of lower sales, which in turn badly hit their businesses. To assist micro and small business entrepreneurs in maintaining sustainability by improving their bookkeeping skills by using digital applications, a team of lecturers from Universitas Mercu Buana, Indonesia, and Universiti Sains Malaysia, Malaysia, collaborated on socialization activities and interactions. The lecturers held virtual or online workshops for 75 micro and small business entrepreneurs, whose majority of the participants have a high school educational background. The results of this study show influential benefits experienced by the participants, who also stated that the activity and social interaction must be held regularly as a guide and to provide them with updated information. The activities also motivated them to continue working hard to sustain their business. This study demonstrates that such programs can provide support for the sustenance of micro and small businesses.

Abstract

Volunteering is an important institution for social, cultural, economic, and ecological development, and an effective means for the socialization of the youth and the intellect in the country. The labor proposes a job, that is, defining the essence of the modern phenomenon—volunteering as a value-semantic complex based on the idea of charity, voluntary service in society, and the manifestation of the socially significant free activities of an individual, the group, or organization. This paper discusses the main characteristic features of the evaluative development of volunteering in various historical periods worldwide. Encouraged by these, Macedonian institutions have developed programs for volunteer development with ten-year prospects, considering the regional component and the specificity of the future professional activity of persons who will work in programs abroad. The methodological bases of the research are systematic, institutional, and common approaches and activities.

Abstract

Rosella (Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn) is a well-known family medicinal plant (Toga). Spoilage due to the weather, and the consequent low revenue gained from selling dried rosella are two of the main challenges currently being encountered by rosella farmers. Regardless of previously practicing community engagement including regular training from local authorities, farmers are still encountering difficulties to implement the training materials, consequently experiencing loss. Method incorporated in this community engagement is the double diamond design thinking that ensures putting the farmers first in all stages. Method chosen for drying rosella was a mixed solar dryer equipped with heating lamps and a blower. In addition, a new revenue generating skill was also introduced which included making rosella soap, as the farmers already had access to most of the tools and was a relatively easy process to follow. Farmers were equivalently encouraged to implement the acquired new knowledge as they were involved in every decision-making process, which increased their sense of belonging. After the solar dryer was installed, there were no more spoiled products, and the dried rosella yield was more vibrant in color and shape. Soap production has high conditioning effects and carries potential to bring better revenue compared to selling dried rosella petals. Community intervention can be more fruitful by involving community partner since conception. This program has surpassed the target and partner are happily and willingly continuing the project. This method can be used by other community empowerments doers, especially in horticultural field, as a model for improved farmer knowledge and increased yield, and in the long run to improve national food security.

Abstract

The main aim of the study is to identify political public relations approaches that can be applied by the government and other bodies responsible for conducting elections in Nigeria to mitigate and eliminate vote buying. The study adopted a qualitative approach in the contextual analysis of data collected specifically from secondary sources. The results revealed that vote buying has become synonymous with elections in Nigeria. After reviewing some related empirical studies, several factors responsible for vote buying in Nigeria have been identified, including poverty, lack of education, high cost of buying forms to contest elections, and many others. Moreover, where votes are purchased by political parties and candidates, the essence of elections as a credible leadership selection process is often put on the line. Another disadvantage associated with vote buying is that the practice can produce leaders who have questionable characters and are not the actual choice of the masses. Where this practice is condoned, this can lead to bad governance and, ultimately, underdevelopment. Therefore, the study recommends good governance and enough sensitization campaigns as political public relations strategies of combating vote buying in Nigeria.

The project involves planting method that was introduced to this school community. The program itself consists of several stages, starting from the preparation—dissemination of the program and designing a plan for the greenhouse, the implementation—constructing the greenhouse and installing the automatic water system, planting the vegetation, and monitoring and evaluation of the program. Eventually, an evaluation of the successful program is required to determine whether the program can be implemented in the following year. As a result of the evaluation, the program has succeeded in completing several objectives. The urban farming program has also benefited the community through the natural science education program and also increasing nutritional value. Therefore, such programs should be continued in the following years so that the impact can be broader and more progressive.
