Faculty must be computer literate, competent to use available technologies and to become innovative and receptive to change. This study aimed to know the levels of computer anxiety and self-efficacy, use of computer applications in instructions and levels of computer anxiety explained by computer self-efficacy, computer usage and selected characteristics. Findings show the total composite anxiety score of 29.36 which is interpreted as Low Technophobia, Generally, Relax or Comfortable. Among the identified schools, self –efficacy of 96.61 was obtained which was interpreted as very confident.  When the variables were grouped, a negative correlation (r =-.392) for computer self-efficacy and computer applications (r= -.22) were noted with the composite computer anxiety scores. These two variables had inverse linear relationships with computer anxiety but had a positive linear relationship with each other. The results revealed that groups’ having less self-efficacy have less enthusiasm to perform activities compared to groups having higher self-efficacy.  Other findings shown that there are number of teachers whose responses are “not available” and only few hands are utilizing the benefit of using computer applications in their profession. It is recommended that schools should be more open to teachers in using computers and to provide comprehensive training to enhance their literacy and skills in computer application. For this effort, educators could use higher technology and the possibility to develop new instructional methods and materials in their teaching.","PeriodicalId":304648,"journal":{"name":"Journal of BIMP-EAGA Regional Development","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117001568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, the rapid growth of second-hand product consumption got the attention of researchers as the cheap finds fired in the name of consumerism and wow Filipino consumers. Lately, many young entrepreneurs have ventured into this kind of business and the competition is becoming tight. Furthermore, fashion trends are changing from time to time and the rise of RTWs has become a threat to the second-hand industry as RTWs are much more affordable compared to before. In connection, most of today's clothing is made of polyester or acrylic, both plastic forms and consumers are already consuming resources at an alarming rate. Using second-hand garments can avoid the overall process of making new clothes that can benefit the environment. In the wake of the new trade environment, second hand clothing markets emerged, adding new local jobs and making it easier for the population to afford quality clothing. Hence, it is imperative to focus on the variables that influence the buying of second-hand clothing since it is part of the growing businesses and has been proven to generate profit in the country. This study employs quantitative research design and utilized mean, t-test and statistical treatments. The researchers conducted a convenience sampling for 150 customers of second-hand clothing from different stores in Digos City. Results revealed that most of the customers that patronized second-hand clothes are female with the income bracket of ₱ 5,000- ₱ 10,000 and mostly in their early thirties. The difference in the level of customer preferences for second-hand clothing does not differ when it comes to age and monthly income except to sex which shows to have a difference. The relative importance between age and the attributes of customer preference in buying second-hand clothing measured by the following factors: brand, price, risk, and location have a low correlation. The study further recommended that second-hand stores should take significant consideration when it comes to different types of consumers and when choosing their store locations.","PeriodicalId":304648,"journal":{"name":"Journal of BIMP-EAGA Regional Development","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132348716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study used the mixed method employing a quantitative-qualitative approach. A survey was conducted to determine the impact of the program on the respondents. The findings revealed that HDCC plays a vital role in promoting women empowerment. It provides opportunities for simple women to become more confident among themselves and become trusted community leaders through trainings, ongoing formation programs and experiences while teaching. Based on the four dimensions, the results showed that in terms of the familial dimension, women volunteers have become a source of pride among the family members and are treated with more respect and equal dignity. In the socio-cultural dimension, the women feel the value of empowerment and the need to share it because of its positive impact on them and the community. In the psychological dimension, women shared their dreams for a better future and acknowledge the values of unity, cooperation, role modeling, and wholehearted service as the key to achieve this. In the political dimension, the volunteers believed that they possess the necessary skills to become good leaders. Women volunteers are empowered through the HDCC program. Despite attaining lesser than the required college education, they have been empowered to teach basic education, are more self-confident, have a voice in decision making, and are independent-minded.","PeriodicalId":304648,"journal":{"name":"Journal of BIMP-EAGA Regional Development","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124832183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fabric wastes can serve as replacement for a portion of brick aggregates both for practicality and sustainability. This is especially since the fashion industry has been known to contribute to negative environmental impacts. This paper describes the materials and methods as well as properties of eco-friendly cement bricks added with polyester fabric wastes. The eco-friendly bricks were compared to traditional cement bricks in terms of physical and mechanical properties. Traditional bricks were prepared at a ratio of 1:5 of cement to sand while eco-friendly bricks were prepared at a ratio of 1:5:1 of cement to sand to fabric wastes. All the methods used in this study were based on the standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM, 2006). Statistical analysis using t-test revealed that both bricks were comparable in terms of physical properties of mass (kg) (t=1.780, p=0.086), bulk density (kg/m3) (t=1.780, p=0.086), and water absorption percentage (%) (t=–0.336, p=0.740) as well as mechanical properties of maximum load (kN) (t=1.000, p=0.326) and compressive strength (Mpa) (t=1.000, p=0.326) with results having no significant differences in their means. In terms of cost, eco-friendly bricks are cheaper by Php 3.00 than traditional bricks. Eco-friendly cement bricks added with polyester fabric wastes can therefore serve as a viable alternative for traditional bricks. Additional testing such as in situ testing can be conducted to determine practical applications of the eco-friendly bricks added with fabric wastes in non-load bearing walls for instance.","PeriodicalId":304648,"journal":{"name":"Journal of BIMP-EAGA Regional Development","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122615013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even though EMA has become in the world a new and hot research direction, China’s application of EMA research was relatively small. With the strengthening of environmental protection work in China, the Chinese government and enterprises had tried to accept the use of EMA and gradually caught up with the pace of international environment requirements. Previous studies showed the level of adoption and implementation of EMA was still weak, especially in developing countries. A current paper showed results of a pilot research on manufacturing companies conducted in China. Although some studies questioned the extent of the use of EMA, the findings of the research suggested that the use of EMA had potential for further development in China. However, this study is a pilot study, thus the sample size was considered insufficient but a future study had been suggested to produce more accurate results and findings.","PeriodicalId":304648,"journal":{"name":"Journal of BIMP-EAGA Regional Development","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132950942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, several studies have explained that the labour force participation of older people is one of the key factors in promoting the concept of active ageing (Punyakaew et al., 2019; Halaweh et al., 2018). Due to an unexpected disastrous COVID-19 pandemic emerged, there is a need to revisit the possible effects of this pandemic on the labour force participation of the older population. As of 25 November 2020, WHO reported that there are more than 59 million infected people and 1,397,139 deaths in 216 countries worldwide and the numbers are still rising at a rapid rate. Older people were identified as one of the most vulnerable groups to COVID-19 virus. It is expected that the current situation is less favourable to older people in Malaysia not only to their participation in the labour market, but in many aspects as well.

On one side are the politicians led by President Duterte, who are behind a bill lowering the age of criminal responsibility from 15 to 9 for two reasons: school-age thieves and drug-runners must be “taught responsibility” and that the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Law is “soft” in dealing with children in conflict with the law (CICL). On the other side are human rights advocates vehemently opposing the bill on the ground that studies in the social sciences link emotional and mental immaturity to youth offending, not to mention the Philippines’ binding commitment to protect children’s rights when it signed the Convention on the Rights of the Child. At the forefront, are the barangay officials, the first authorities encountered by the CICL upon apprehension, where the crucial decision is made: amicable settlement or State involvement. A survey among 30 barangay officials reveals that punishment is favored to deter re-offense. The lack of parental supervision is perceived as the root cause, but it is this same negligence that convinces them that handling the CICL should be a national affair, hence, their approval for lowering the minimum age of criminal responsibility, and the children’s subsequent detention in government facilities. This study recommends that barangay officials be re-oriented regarding the aptness of rehabilitation for the CICL, particularly the framings of discourses from the social sciences, while also advancing a critique of the justice system itself critically through a Gramscian lens.","PeriodicalId":304648,"journal":{"name":"Journal of BIMP-EAGA Regional Development","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133613811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
