Globally, computer technology is changing the way educators teach and students learn. 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.

Buying and selling used garments is something that has been done for quite a while. 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.

This paper explores the degree of empowerment among women volunteers in the Hope Day Care Center (HDCC) in the informal relocation site in Southville 8, Cabuyao, Laguna by determining the role of HDCC in promoting women empowerment; identifying women empowerment measured in the Familial, Socio-cultural, Psychological and Political dimensions; and, describing how HDCC teachers become empowered women leaders in the community. 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.

With brick a common construction material, there is a shortage of sources for making bricks. 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.

With the increased number of environmental problems in the global scope, the application of environmental management accounting (EMA) in enterprises had attracted constant attention all over the world. 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.

In 2002, the World Health Organisation (WHO) designed a framework for active ageing society which was implemented by most of the countries in the world to date. 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. This paper aims to provide a narrative literature review in an effort to understand how COVID-19 pandemic might have changed the decision of older people in participating in the labour force in Malaysia.
2002年，世界卫生组织(卫生组织)设计了一个积极老龄化社会框架，迄今为止世界上大多数国家都在实施该框架。此外，一些研究解释说，老年人的劳动力参与是促进积极老龄化概念的关键因素之一(Punyakaew等人，2019;Halaweh et al.， 2018)。由于意外出现了灾难性的COVID-19大流行，有必要重新审视这一大流行对老年人口参与劳动力的可能影响。截至2020年11月25日，世卫组织报告称，全球216个国家有5900多万人感染，1379.139人死亡，而且这一数字仍在快速上升。老年人被确定为COVID-19病毒最脆弱的群体之一。预计目前的情况不仅不利于马来西亚的老年人参与劳动力市场，而且在许多方面也不利于老年人。本文旨在提供一种叙事文献综述，以了解COVID-19大流行如何改变马来西亚老年人参与劳动力的决定。

This paper investigated the moderating effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on the relationship between CEO compensation and firm performance on the Chinese capital market. This paper applied a panel data regression technique using data composition represented by SSE180 index for a period spanning from 2010 until 2019. A total of 86 representative large listed firms was employed in this paper for the period of 10 years with a total of 860 firm-year observation. The empirical results showed that both CEO compensation and CSR have a significant positive relationship with firm performance. More importantly, this paper found that the level of CSR moderates (reduces) the relationship between CEO compensation and firm performance. Therefore, the results implied that although CSR is a useful business strategy, it still has a lot of room for improvement.

The proposal to amend the minimum age of criminal responsibility has elicited polarized reactions in the Philippines. 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.
修改最低刑事责任年龄的提议在菲律宾引起了两极分化的反应。一边是以杜特尔特总统为首的政客，他们支持一项将刑事责任年龄从15岁降至9岁的法案，原因有二:学龄小偷和毒贩必须被“教导责任”，以及《少年司法和福利法》在处理违法儿童方面“软弱”(CICL)。另一方面，人权倡导者强烈反对该法案，理由是社会科学研究将情感和精神不成熟与青少年犯罪联系起来，更不用说菲律宾在签署《儿童权利公约》(Convention On the rights of the Child)时保护儿童权利的约束性承诺。站在最前面的是村官员，他们是CICL在被捕后遇到的第一批当局，在那里作出关键决定:友好解决还是国家介入。一项针对30名村官的调查显示，惩罚倾向于阻止再次犯罪。缺乏父母的监督被认为是根本原因，但正是这种疏忽使他们相信处理CICL应该是国家事务，因此他们批准降低最低刑事责任年龄，并随后将儿童拘留在政府设施中。本研究建议，对于CICL的康复能力，特别是社会科学的话语框架，村官应该重新定位，同时也通过葛兰西的视角对司法系统本身进行批判性的批评。

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.
