The normality of death has dissolved in the context of society through the passage of time. Death has been celebrated before in the past as a part of life. In the contemporary era, death is being revisited with a heightened social awareness wherein it is explored in different facets of interdisciplinary studies, ranging from technological to cultural studies. Because of this phenomenon eventually people will begin to ask: What comes after death? The afterlife is a realm of uncertainty and of possibilities. Different academic fields such as neurology, psychology, psychiatry, philosophy and the like extensively deconstruct, and in their own ways, define the realm of the afterlife. Its ambiguous yet mysterious nature provides us with the opportunity to further explore intangible and unmappable landscapes that are beyond human comprehension. Possibilian Landscapes imagines the idea of the afterlife through David Eagleman’s book on his philosophy on Possibilianism, Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives. It explores the possibilities of afterlife dimensions as a means of creating new spatial translations in architecture, which would eventually lead to the expounding of the discourse of the relationship between architecture and reality. In this book, she selected stories that possess strong cues in spatial visualization, with each story having different spatial notions that the author would like to probe, provoke and explore. The author questions reality through architecture using the afterlife as a platform, adapting and exploiting the energy of the contemporary wave of the afterlife as it sweeps today’s society.
随着时间的流逝,死亡的常态已经在社会背景下消失了。过去,人们把死亡作为生命的一部分来庆祝。在当代,随着社会意识的提高,死亡正在被重新审视,其中在跨学科研究的不同方面进行了探索,从技术到文化研究。由于这种现象,人们最终会开始问:死后会发生什么?来世是一个充满不确定性和可能性的领域。不同的学术领域,如神经学、心理学、精神病学、哲学等,广泛解构,并以自己的方式定义来世的领域。它的模糊而神秘的性质为我们提供了进一步探索人类无法理解的无形和不可映射的景观的机会。通过David Eagleman关于他的可能性主义哲学的书《Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives》,《可能的风景》想象了来世的概念。它探索了来世维度作为一种在建筑中创造新的空间翻译的手段的可能性,这最终将导致对建筑与现实之间关系的论述的阐述。在这本书中,她选择了具有强烈空间可视化线索的故事,每个故事都有不同的空间概念,作者想要探索,激发和探索。作者通过以来世为平台的建筑来质疑现实,适应和利用当代来世浪潮席卷当今社会的能量。

This study aimed to design a blended learning model for public senior high schools (SHS) in the division of Laguna. A descriptive-quantitative research design was considered in the study and utilized the neo-positivism for objectivity and neutrality of the research process. A survey using Mercado’s eLearning readiness assessment tool and eLearning System Readiness Assessment (ELSRA) based on Mckinsey’s 7S were used to collect data from respondents. Pearson r correlation test, percentage, mean, and frequency count were used for analysis. Results showed that the technical specification of eClassroom provided by DepEd Computerization Program satisfied the IT infrastructure standards for eLearning system. The proposed project team was identified with their roles and qualifications to manage the implementation of blended learning. The assessment of student’s eLearning readiness has a computed mean value of 52.17% for technology access, 56.37% for technology skills, and student's attitude towards eLearning was evaluated “Almost Ready”. The assessment of teacher’s eLearning readiness has a computed mean value of 83.86% for technology access, 87.74% for technology skills, and teacher's attitude towards eLearning was evaluated “Almost Ready” for abilities, motivation and time management; and “Completely Ready” for teaching styles and strategies. The schools revealed that 93.33% were ready for administrative support and 83.66% for resource support to eLearning system. The division management officials agreed (68.34%) to the identified 7S that support eLearning implementation. The designed Adefuin&Balba Blended Learning Model is composed of Technology, People, and Process phases supported by K-12 SHS curriculum with continuous improvement process through monitoring and evaluation.

Michiko Tsushima
In his essay about two painters, the van Velde brothers, Samuel Beckett presents a view that both men share a profound interest in “the human condition,” which precedes their interest in painting. This view relates to Beckett’s own conception of art. He himself was interested in “the human condition” in his creation of art. Beckett experienced the devastation of the Second World War. Through his work (e.g., Waiting for Godot, Endgame, and Happy Days), he explored the condition of those who survive in the world in its extremity. This paper sheds light on “the human condition” revealed in the act of waiting in Waiting for Godot, a French play written in 1949. The play depicts the human condition as the condition of being “tied to Godot.” This condition implies the human finitude—the tormenting in-between condition—being short of the world and that of never being able to escape from the here and now. At the same time, this condition of being “tied to Godot” indicates one last ounce of belief in the world. By disclosing this invisible “tie,” Waiting for Godot evokes “the link between man and the world” (Deleuze) in the audience’s mind.

This study sought to examine and analyze the frequency of writing errors and determine the causes behind such errors made by first time test takers of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) academic writing essay-Task 2. The four criteria specified for the IELTS Writing Band Scores (British Council, 2019) were taken into consideration. A corpus of Japanese adult learners academic writing Task 2 essays in an Intensive Writing Course were carefully examined to determine the main writing errors following the procedure for Error Analysis proposed by Corder (1967). The research adopted an analytical descriptive approach. The findings revealed that verb tense, article errors, spelling and subject verb agreement were the most common writing errors made by learners. With regards to cohesion ,coherence and lexical resource, poor progression in paragraphs, parts of the essay being incomprehensible, vague topic sentences, poor use of transition signals and incorrect use of target lexical items were the most common categories of errors. According to the results it is revealed that male learners made more written errors in comparison to female learners. Based on the findings recommendations and suggestions that are of significant importance to educators, EFL learners and policy makers are presented in detail.
