CAMACHO, Jr.＊＊＊ Abstract This study examined the effects of computer games on school performance of high school students in Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines. Allowance, gender, peer group and year level positively affect student’s decision to play while time spent on studying, year level, previous grade, number of books and time spent playing computer games are found to be significant in affecting student’s performance. Results showed that the probability of a computer gamer to fail is 39%, given the student has more than four siblings, a previous grade of at most 84, lesser teachers, lesser hours on studying, living near a computer shop, and spends more hours playing computer games. Moreover, 60% of the students’ daily allowance is spent on playing computer games.

...THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Nutrition plays an important role in the present age of scientific investigation and discovery. Recent studies and discoveries in the field of nutrition have been considered among the greatest scientific achievements because of their far reaching effects on human progress and welfare. Credit is due to those investigators in the field of nutrition who made careful and painstaking studies which have given knowledge on how best to select, combine and prepare food to promote the health and efficiency of the individual The world’s demand for food is becoming greater than ever. The current world population of 8 billion needs new innovations to meet the growing challenges of the poor and hungry world. Over nutrition, obesity, and related diseases characteristic of the developed world, is becoming serious public health problems in countries with widespread food insecurity. Children suffering from under nutrition today could well be afflicted with chronic diseases of development as adults. The economic development that has led to improved food security and better health in some countries needs to be harnessed, while at the same time incentives to avert the adverse health effects of the nutrition transition need to be taken. The potential of novel foods to alleviate under nutrition is becoming more apparent. But they are unlikely to have a role in the prevention of diseases associated with over nutrition in developing countries, which use growing incomes...

...Effects of allowance Efficiency considerations While the scheme is efficient in that it does encourage access to tertiary education through breaking barriers concerned with cost of tertiary education, there are some efficiency considerations concerned to the provision of student allowances which need to be addressed. Due to the fact that once the student earns over $195.78, the student allowance payment is abated at one dollar per dollar earned acts as a disincentive for the student to partake in paid work, in order to receive ‘free’ money. As well as this, it may encourage the student to find work which can be paid under-the-table, so as to have access to more money on a weekly basis. Rather than ensuring that the allowance helps those who do not have access to enough income to support themselves while studying, it rather recommends that the student limits their hours of paid work in order to receive the same amount of money as someone who may have to work to receive it. Being that the student allowance is based on the income of the parents for under 25 year olds, efficiency is also compromised as it allows for some students whose parents are self employed to receive the benefit, through the parents ability to ‘hide’ their actual income; which does tend to occur.[9] The result of this is that a proportion of the students receiving the allowance on the premise that they are from a lower income background, are actually made better off than many of those who, not only do not...

...CHAPTER I Introduction It seems to be a "coming of age thing" when a student goes to teenage life and encounters vices such as drinking and smoking is very rampant nowadays. Such vices cannot be ignored anymore as to the more students seem to be detaching from their spare time or even they intend to cut classes just for this so called vices, they seem to be enjoying freedom too much. A student may be influenced to be involved in any of the stated variables. High School is far different from being a college student. A person will have a new life when one goes to college. New environment which one has to adapt, new set of friends which one have to treat nice, and new subjects or topics that one has to study based on what course you will get. Although drinking, smoking, and drug-use for some usually result in adverse health consequences, there are some perceived benefits or advantages of these behaviors particularly from the point of view of the adolescents and youths. Adolescents may view drinking and smoking as privileges of adults and may want to engage in them to feel grown up and to present themselves as adults to others. Some of the reasons given are: the availability of cigarettes at home, parents being model of smoking and drinking behavior and consequently parents lack the credibility as advocates for non-smoking or non-drinking.(Aroyo 2001) Smoking and drinking are two of the most important risk factors explaining early mortality, accounting for an estimated...

...HOW DOES THE ALLOWANCE OF THE STUDENT AFFECT HIS/HER ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE A RESEARCH PAPER Presented to DR. THERESITA POBLETE Department of Community Development College of Public Affairs Mindanao State University In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Course CD 160 (Techniques and Methods of Social Investigation) Second Semester, 2013- 2014 By COSARY B. PANGILAMUN March 2014 I. INTRODUCTION A. BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE The students’ intellectual capacity and improvement varies from their Academic Performance is said to be one of the crucial areas of the learner’s life since it serves as an output of what the student learned and a reflection of what kind of students they are. Some learners may not be bothered whether they progress or not, however, in the flip of the other side, their parents are left with great distress if their children do not perform well. But, judgments of the students’ academic performance can’t be measured hundred percent for there are multiple factors that arise when it comes to studies. These facets need or should be considered for a better understanding of the students’ performances in school. Researchers have found out that determinant “of learners’ performance has been the subject of ongoing debate among educators, academic and policy makers. Various factors affect students in many ways under different circumstances. These factors take in socio-economic, psychological, emotional, and environmental aspects...

...and many other fields. In this study, analyzing the food consumption and expenditure patterns of students away from home can be used for future implementation of university policies that would offer financial and other assistances for the students. During 1998-1999, students in U.K. who are studying independently showed an upward shift in their expenditure pattern on food, bills, and other household expenses. This increase in the students’ expenditure is mostly because of inflation (Callender, 2000). According to Callender (2000), 10% of these students said that they thought about dropping because of financial difficulties while three out of five students who are studying away from home thought that financial difficulties have negative effects on their studies. However, 86% of these students still believe that going to the university would benefit them financially in the long run With this in mind, students will most likely to perform better in school if they can get some help regarding their financial difficulties. And since these students are away from their families, they resort in foods that are ready-to-eat and easy-to-cook meals which also add to their expenses and can have certain nutritional implication on them. Palma (2002) said that more and more Filipinos eat less at home. Majority of these people includes working mothers, drivers, and students. According to her, five out of ten Filipinos eat at fast food chains, three to fine dining restaurants, and the rest to bakeshops...

...not exclusive to animal-based foods. In the late 1800s protein was also found to be present in plant foods. Yet the myth of its being tightly or even exclusively linked to animal-based foods still lingers. Simply ask a non-meat eating vegan how many times they are asked, “But where do I get my protein?” This bias implying that meat is the sole source of protein was encouraged over these many decades by ‘science’. Research findings, for example, were showing that animal-based proteins are utilized by the body more efficiently. This efficiency of utilization referred to increased body growth rate among other effects, with greater efficiency being described as greater ‘biological value’ or higher quality. But it was only animal-based proteins that have high quality. Because most people obviously like high quality, animal-based protein became the protein of choice. In effect, this history evolved through the prism of linguistics to give a profound self-perpetuating paradigm. The problem with this proposition is that high quality does not necessarily mean better health. Increasing body growth may be useful for...

...Exercise #9: Calculating Take Home Pay and Monthly Labor Costs Directions: Calculate the take-home pay for each employee (monthly or weekly) and then calculate the monthly labor cost for the company for the month of January. (Assume that a month is one-twelfth of 52 weeks.) Company: CHC Forecast Inc is a software company that has four full-time professionals who are paid monthly salaries and eight part-time representatives who are paid weekly for the hours they work that week. The deductions from pay include federal tax (ignore state tax for this exercise), Social Security (FICA), and deferred savings through a 401(k) plan. Instructions for calculating federal taxes using the percentage method and the tables are shown below. The company’s 401(k) plan matches what the employees save on a one-to-one basis for the first three percent and a half of a percent for each one percent the employee saves up to a maximum of six percent for the company. The company pays Workers Compensation, Social Security, and Unemployment Compensation. Workers’ Compensation costs for the company are two percent of the first $7,000 of an employee’s annual salary. FICA is 7.65% (1.45% plus 6.2% of the first $97,500) for both the employer and the employee. Unemployment compensation (FUTA) is 0.8 percent of the first $7000 of annual income.
