The latest issues of UP 茄子视频app鈥檚 (UPD) three refereed journals 鈥淗umanities 茄子视频app鈥 (Vol. 13 No. 2), 鈥淪cience 茄子视频app鈥 (Vol. 28 No. 1) and 鈥淪ocial Science 茄子视频app鈥 (Vol. 12 No. 1) are now online.
Edited by Dr. Reuben Ramas Ca帽ete, 鈥淗umanities 茄子视频app鈥 has six articles: 鈥淎ng Talaban ng Pangingibabaw at Pagtutol sa Pangingibabaw sa Manga Tagobilin sa Manga Dalaga ni Antonio Maria Claret (Dominance and Defiance in Antonio Maria Claret鈥檚 Manga Tagobilin sa Manga Dalaga) by Pauline Mari Hernando; 鈥淜uwentong Buhay ng Isang Pambansa-Demokratikong Rebolusyonaryong Bakla sa Rehiyon ng Katimugang Mindanao (A Life Story of a Gay National-Democratic Revolutionary in Southern Mindanao Region)鈥 by Rowell D. Madula; 鈥淏inukot at Nabukot: From Myth to Practice鈥 by Maria Christine Muyco; 鈥淭he Ube (鈥淩oots鈥) Generation鈥 by Tabitha Espina Velasco; 鈥淎lternative Epistemologies in Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo鈥檚 TRESE鈥 by Ana Micaela Chua and 鈥淭he Possibilities and Problems of Entanglement in Contemporary Manila Theater: Pista as Model, Rizal X as Exemplar鈥 by Sir Anril P. Tiatco.
Humanities 茄子视频app. Ca帽ete said the current issue revisits the 鈥渟ix sites of hybridity that underlie the links and nodes that defined empire and colony, nation and migration, domination and resistance, homogeneity and difference, and ritualized carnivals as spaces of critical reflection and imagination.鈥
Hernando鈥檚 article focuses on the study of colonial domination over the Filipina body and her performativity as docile. The article鈥檚 abstract said it seeks to 鈥渄eliberate the actuality of colonial power and social order in the context of the rules directed at women, and now Claret鈥檚 paper presents how the dialectical status of women, at the bottom of the social hierarchy based on the new discourse on social power, was constituted and established through the imposition of colonial authority.鈥
Madula attempts to analyze the life and experiences of a gay member of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People鈥檚 Army-National Democratic Front of the Philippines (CPP-NPA-NDFP) from the Southern Mindanao Region.
Muyco鈥檚 paper is about 鈥渢he binukot鈥檚 actual practice, including her present life living as a nabukot, a transformed status she gains when she gets married鈥 and interlaced her 鈥渆thnographic observations regarding these states as part of a reconsideration of feminism from both Western and indigenous perspectives.鈥
Espina-Velasco鈥檚 study explores her Guamanian-Filipino heritage, using the word 鈥渦be鈥 to characterize the generation of her grandmother鈥攖he initial generation in their families to immigrate to Guam from the Philippines, after the post-WWII migration surge.
Chua鈥檚 essay presents a reading of Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo鈥檚 Trese 鈥渁s a text grounded in particular social epistemologies, which allows the text to speak of Metro Manila as a unified entity where people share realities and myths.鈥
Tiatco鈥檚 study utilizes the postmodern theory of entanglement in arriving at a conceptual idiom for the understanding of contemporary theater in Manila where pista (fiesta) is used as model and the play Rizal X as example. In his abstract, the author mentioned that 鈥淩izal X is treated as a microcosm of the pista because it has entangled representations, histories, relationships, and genres in the same way that the pista performs such entanglement.鈥
Science 茄子视频app. Meanwhile, 鈥淪cience 茄子视频app鈥 features three articles, one short communication and a review.
The articles are 鈥淪imple Sequence Repeat Analysis of Selected NSIC-registered Coffee Varieties in the Philippines鈥 co-authored by Daisy May C. Santos, Carla Francesca F. Besa, Angelo Joshua A. Victoria and Ernelea P. Cao; 鈥淐hemical Characterization and Behavior of Respirable Fractions of Indoor Dusts Collected Near a Landfill Facility鈥 by Rheo B. Lamorena-Lim and Colleen Maricel F. Rosales; and 鈥淓ffect of Zeolite Treatment on the Blooming Behavior of Paraffin Wax in Natural Rubber Composites鈥 by Bryan B. Pajarito, Nico V. Berba, Jadreign Keisheen C. Parto and Raechel Anne V. Yabut.
The first article discusses the simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to distinguish and correctly identify the varieties Arabica, Robusta and Liberica. According to the study, the proper identification of coffee varieties determines their market value or importance.
Lamorena-Lim and Rosales鈥檚 article discloses the potential risks brought about by airborne or inhalable particulate matter within the vicinity of a landfill facility (Payatas dumpsite in Quezon City) under different relative humidity conditions.
The last article is a study on 鈥渉ow three different chemical treatments of natural zeolite filler, namely acid activation, ion exchange with a tertiary amine salt, and organic modification with a non-ionic surfactant, affect the blooming of paraffin wax in vulcanized natural rubber.鈥
The short communication 鈥淲hite Rot Disease and Epiphytism on Halmenia durvillei Bory de Saint-Vincent (Halymeniaceae, Rhodophyta) in Culture鈥 highlights the incidence and negative effects of white rot disease and heavy infestation of epiphytes (plants that grow and use the host plant for support) on cultured red alga, which usually results in significant losses in biomass and potential profit.鈥 Wilfred John E. Santia帽ez, Hera J. Suan-Flandez, and Gavino C. Trono Jr. authored the paper.
鈥淢arine Macroalgae: A Review鈥 by Irene Villase帽or underscores the significant contributions of NAST Academician Marco Nemesio E. Monta帽o in the post-harvest technology of seaweed production. Villase帽or said the review 鈥渋s limited to the research done on the optimization of extraction methods to enhance the quantity and quality of hydrocolloids, specifically agar and carrageenan, from red seaweeds; and the characterization of the physicochemical properties of the hydrocolloid extracts.鈥 She is the editor of 鈥淪cience 茄子视频app.鈥
Social Science 茄子视频app. The issue edited by Dr. Ma. Mercedes G. Planta has three articles, historical notes, two book reviews and two essays on the Faculty Center.
Planta said the journal brought together 鈥渨orks on education, language and history,鈥 held together by the 鈥渃ommitment to pursue new paradigms and new ways of looking at both old and new issues while challenging or refining the current mode of analysis.
The three articles are 鈥淚nclusive Education in the Philippines: Through the Eyes of Teachers, Administrators, and Parents of Children with Special Needs鈥 by Michael Arthus G. Muega; 鈥淪ariling atin: Ang nagsasariling komunidad na pangkomunikasyon sa disiplinang Araling Pilipino鈥 by Ramon Guillermo; and 鈥淟agda ni Andres Bonifacio: Paghamon sa tadhana, himagsikan, at pagtupad sa kapalaran ng sambayanang Pilipino鈥 by Epifanio San Juan Jr.
Muega鈥檚 article is about the knowledge and involvement of school teachers, school administrators and parents of children with special needs in implementing inclusive education. Inclusive education lets children with and without disabilities learn together in a general education setting.
Guillermo鈥檚 piece discusses the possibility of a Philippine Studies community or Araling Pilipino (AP). He 鈥渄ecenters ethnicity, nationality and provenance as qualifications for inclusion in the community of scholars in Philippine Studies.鈥 This inclusive community constitutes what Guillermo call autonomous Philippine Studies.
Meanwhile, San Juan鈥檚 work describes the Philippine society鈥檚 contemporary realities, particularly its socio-economic imbalances. 鈥淭he roots of these realities,鈥 Planta said, 鈥渁re traced back to the feudal political economy in the 19th century, particularly with the opening of the Philippines to world commerce at the end of the Manila Galleon.鈥
The journal also features Ramon Guillermo鈥檚 鈥淪iempre he encontrado en dicho camarada un verdadero espiritu revolucionario:鈥 Tala hinggil sa ilang bagong tuklas na dokumento sa Arkibo ng COMINTERN hinggil sa mga mandirigmang Pilipino sa Espanya na kaanib sa Brigada Internacional (1936-1939).鈥 The author shares newly found documents from the declassified archives of the Communist International (Comintern) on the Filipino combatants who fought with the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War, giving new information on the history of communism in the Philippines.
In addition, the issue has reflective essays from Gemino H. Abad and Ricardo T. Jose that pay tribute to the Faculty Center and reviews for the books 鈥淩epresenting Children in Chinese and U.S. Children鈥檚 Literature,鈥 edited by Claudia Nelson and Rebecca Morris and 鈥淗idden Lives, Concealed Narratives: A History of Leprosy in the Philippines鈥 edited by Maria Serena I. Diokno.
Printed versions of the three UPD journals are now available at the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Development.
