...Problem with Background I. Introduction Looking back on my introspection about my fellow batch mates in high school, I have been in contact with them for the past months and we kept on reminiscing the days on how we would like our future be especially on our career paths. From almost 20 persons that I have in contact with, only two of them was able to graduate from college. Some had dropped out and some are still in college shifting courses just like me. So I decided to make a survey research regarding students in colleges on how passionate they are in the course they took up. I have delimited my research to students of the same course that I am taking to target a specific population and validity. Despite the problem of having many legal management students shifting courses, they take easy courses to graduate on time. As a current student and had been enrolled in legal management course in FEU, questions had bewildered myself if I had took the right path and made a right decision to take this course hence where will this lead me after I graduated from the course? There were instances in my college years that I opted or imagined to shift course for that matter because of the fear of the unknown. I am an irregular 3rd year student and I had witness some of my friends or almost of my friends if I may say had graduated from the courses they took and for my fellow legal management batch mates who if not shifted had graduated from this course but didn’t landed on a good job...

...ENGINEERING STUDENTS WHO SHIFT COURSES AFTER 1-2 YEARS by vince silva on 29 September 2014 INTRODUCTION One of the major factors that have been affecting college students to graduate earlier is the shifting of courses of the college student, especially after the first to second year of experience of the student’s studies. Shifting of course is a way of college students to change their chosen program to another that may have been caused by many incompatibility of the student to compete in that specific chosen program. According to the Office of the University Registrar of DLSU “shifting refers to a transfer from one program to another of the same level. A level may refer to baccalaureate, masters, doctoral, or diploma/certificate”. In some college student’s perspective about shifting courses, is that shifting courses was caused by rejection of the problems of the student in that specific program In shifting courses there are four possible reasons why a college student demands to shift their course. The first possible reason in shifting course is the problem with the student’s course itself, if the course does not meet the demands of a student, it may cause failure or boredom to the student that makes them change course. Second reason is the problem with the place or university, if the place causes uncomfortable aura to the students, then it may cause unhappiness or unsatisfactory to their needs. Third reason is the financial problem, if the fund of the student to study in...

...Impacts on the Livelihoods of Small Farm Holders and the Environment in Southeast Asia Due to the loss of Swidden Agriculture Swidden agriculture is a long standing and common practice in many tropical areas in the World. In Southeast Asia in particular, the method for growing maize, rice and other fruits and vegetables is mainly still Swidden agriculture. The small scale farm holders in Southeast Asia, have used this technique for centuries and to them, it is the only way they know to grow food and keep from going hungry.The term swidden is a hard word to define, being so broad and because many scientists and people have had trouble agreeing on definitions for the term. This and the relatively small amount of research and data on farms that use swidden creates holes in existing literature. An increasing problem that small farm holders who use the practice of swidden are facing is the intervention of governments which has sparked added impacts. Understanding the implications of the demise of swidden and the practice itself by both governments and people, can help small farm holders and communities gain more from the loss. This paper will outline the effects of the loss of swidden agriculture on the environment and livelihoods of people in Southeast Asia and how there can be alternatives. The way that I conducted my research was both the use of the University of Oregon library web access and the Internet for certain clips and videos. Through the library I used peer reviewed...

...PAPER Shifting cultivation effects on creek water quality around Barkal Upazila in Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh Shyamal Karmakar • S. M. Sirajul Haque • M. Mozaffar Hossain • Sohag Miah Received: 2011-07-20; Accepted: 2012-07-20 © Northeast Forestry University and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012 Abstract: We report the effects of shifting cultivation on water quality in 16 creeks investigated once in 2007 and twice in 2008 in 16 apparently similar small neighboring watersheds, each of 3 to 5 ha, at four locations around Barkal sub-district under Rangamati District of Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh. Concentrations of SO42- and K+, and pH in creek water were lower, and NO3-N and Na+ concentrations were higher in shifting-cultivation land compared to land with either plantation or natural forest or a combination of these cover types. Shifting cultivation effects on some water quality parameters were not significant due to change in land cover of the watershed between two sampling periods either through introduction of planted tree species or naturally regenerated vegetation. Conductivity and concentrations of HCO3-, PO43-, Ca2+ and Mg2+ in creek water showed no definite trend between shifting cultivation and the other land cover types. At one area near the Forest Range Office of Barkal, creek water pH was 5.8 under land cover with a combination of shifting cultivation and plantation. At this area Na+ concentration in shifting-cultivation...

...Nothing lasts forever, and shifting technologies and market conditions can render once strong assets as obsolete. Within the past decade, technology has become a norm within society. If you don’t have a cell phone by the age of eight, one is not fitting the normal standard. A perfect example of shifting technologies would include tollbooths. Tollbooths across the turnpike had individuals working twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week to physically collect driver’s money. Slowly, today’s well known Florida Sunpass was introduced on April 24, 1999 (Sunpass). As the convenient device became popular, the need for physical employees at tollbooths began to diminish as more Sunpass tollbooths were built. Having this in mind, growing up I have seen people-run cash registers evolve to self checkouts, mailing out checks evolve to paying via internet in the convenience of your own home, etc. Growing up in the era of change, if I had a business, understanding the evolving technologies around us can keep a business afloat. Keeping in mind the many changes within the company I currently work for, I would probably use the same strategies. For one, we have evolved from using spreadsheets, manual work, and onsite servers to developing software to hold, gather and populate our information on the cloud. But why stop there! Developing software for our company’s demands may be helpful to other businesses within our same field. Therefore, why not make it available to the public for...

...The Shifting of Healthcare The emergence of the Accountable Care Act (ACA) 0f 2014 made one of the most significant change in the health care system for these United States. The question of whether we can have health care is no longer an issue. The new issue is whether we can afford to have health care. Presently, the people who are employed by small businesses and were not offered health insurance thru their employer can purchase a plan through our Government Health Exchange program. In California, this exchange is referred to as “Covered California”. Those who fall below the federal poverty level (FPL) can qualify for state funded Medicaid or Medi-Cal programs as well. Since the enactment of ACA, all health insurance coverages are available despite any pre existing conditions. Thus, whether we are covered under an employers health plan, pay for Covered California or qualify for state funded Medicaid or Medi-Cal, we are all able to have health care. Current Challenges Now that we are all able to have health care coverage, we must become more savvy consumers when we purchase the plan that is most appropriate for us and our families. There are many health insurance brokers out there with many advertisements to lure the consumers to purchase with a particular broker. There are also multiple ads on line, television, radio and social web sites soliciting consumers to sign up with the major health insurance companies. The ads include the five largest health insurance...

...| When paradigm shifts take place, we see things from a different perspective as we focus on different aspects within our lives. In regards to the work environment, shifting paradigms can directly impact the quality of the products and services. I used to believe that a successful management system breeds a consistent result. However, working for a huge company like AT&T, shifts in management styles can oftentimes yield varying results. AT&T has a reputation of being ahead of the game in regards to technology and the wave of the future. So one would think that “working on the inside” of the business I would be on top of the leading technology. I can heartily say “NOT” due to economic changes that AT&T has endured over the 16+ years that I have been employed by them. The first critical aspect of paradigm shift in an organization is making changes to the culture. When I first started working for AT&T I came into a business that was essentially operated solely by the service of humans. Automation was not quite as intricate as it is today so placing a long distance, calling card or collect call required the aid of a human operator to complete. The culture at the time was people oriented and employees really took the time to service customers and oftentimes put their heart and soul into making the business successful by developing initiatives that were filtered from bottom up. Suggestions and process improvement was encouraged directly from the employees that answered...

...INTRODUCTION According to Opena (1985), Manobo is a generic term which refers to people who are still in the subsistence level economy and are generally in the mountains and who practice the slash and burn agriculture. Further she qualified that the term Manobo is very derogatory for it connotes to be backward, uncivilized, ignorant, boisterous, unwashed, unkept, rough and lawless. Hence, she opined that the use of the term must be used with discreetness, tact and prudence. The term can also mean a slave (magdul) or a person destined to do all the menial jobs in the house and farm. According to Elkins (1977) the Manobo belongs to the original stock of proto-Philippines or proto-Austronesian people who came from South China thousands of years ago. He later coined the term Manobo to designate the stock of aboriginal non-negeritoid people of Mindanao. They mostly inhabit the hinterlands of Bukidnon specifically on the boundaries of Agusan, Bukidnon, Cotabato, Davao and Misamis Oriental (NCIP,2003). The Western Manobos are in the Southwestern part of Bukidnon in Mulita, Kalilangan and Pangantucan. These people speak a quaint language with Marawi influence which cannot be understood by other ethnic groups in Bukidnon. Marriage is traditionally by parental arrangement, which begins when each of the two families chooses a spokesperson, preferably a datu or bai, who is known for eloquence and knowledge of custom law. Marriage is an alliance system in which reciprocity and mutual...

...Shannon Reed Colorado Technical University Criminology Individual Assignment Week 5 Instructor: Russ Pomrenke August 11, 2014 Twenty four year old James T. Johnson has a problem, he is a thief. James works during the day as a construction and returns home to a house that he shares with his mother. He sells his ‘goods’ on the internet or pawns them a few counties away so that he will not get caught. However; Mr. Johnson got caught red-handed in a burglary just this past weekend. In order to help her son Mrs. Johnson mortgaged her home in order to bail him out of jail. During the ride home Mrs. Johnson yelled at her son for his behavior and stated he has “ended up just like his father, a criminal” and that she will probably die from stress that he has caused. James in anger yelled back that it was his mother’s fault and that his father taught him nothing but crime and that he drank because of their constant fighting. Parental Responsibility Should parents be blamed for their adult children’s behaviors? At what point should an adult take responsibility for their own actions no matter how their childhood was? Did James learn his behavior from his father? More likely than not, James did learn his behavior from his father. When children are born their parents are their main role models. This means the actions and behaviors of the parents are a large influence to the development of the child’s personality. In Bandura’s Social Learning...

...As Tastes Shift, Food Giant General Mills Gets A Makeover June 23, 2015 Robin Zebrowski/Flickr It's not just the Lucky Charms that are getting a makeover at General Mills. The company's announcement Monday that it is removing artificial colors and flavors from its cereal line is part of a much bigger overhaul at the food giant. General Mills is one of the biggest and most successful food firms in the world, with dozens of immediately recognizable brands. But, like all food companies, it is having to navigate a landscape where food tastes are changing fast, and familiar products no longer hold as much sway with customers. Inside a test kitchen at General Mills research facility in Minneapolis, we got a peek at the company's efforts to reinvent itself. A food developer cuts open a bag of frozen vegetables mixed with lentils and empties them into a pan. It's part of a new line of Green Giant products coming out this summer. Before now, Green Giant's frozen vegetables were usually boiled stovetop or microwaved. And they were heavy on sauces like broccoli with cheese. Christine Shearer, a product developer at General Mills, says the new products are meant to be sauteed quickly, which gives them a lot more texture than microwaved vegetables. "I always thought I hated Brussels sprouts when they were boiled," she says. But, she says, it's all about preparation. "Sauté them up, get a little bit of caramelization on it — the browning — the seasoning, and then throw a little...

...Roles of Educational Technology in Learning In today’s innovative world, it is undeniable that technology plays a major role. As our life becomes more relaxed, technology gets the credit of making things accomplished in a snap. Technology has been part of our daily life, as well as learning. Thus, we can say that technology has many roles in learning. We can divide the role of educational technology in learning into two: the traditional role and the constructivist’s perspective. In terms of traditional role, technology is a delivery vehicle for instructional lessons. In this role, the learner learns from the technology and the technology serves as a teacher. In other words, the learner learns the content presented by the technology in the same way that the learner learns knowledge presented by the teacher. With a computer or technology in the classroom, teachers are able to demonstrate a new lesson and present new material. Also, in traditional point of view, technology also serves as productivity tool. It serves as source and presenter of knowledge and it is assumed that knowledge is embedded in technology. With technology in the classroom, teachers can illustrate how to use new programs and show new websites. From the constructivist point of view, educational technology serves as learning tools that learners learn with. It engages learners in active, constructive, intentional, authentic, and cooperative learning. Technology serves as supporter of knowledge construction...

...Have you ever felt like you are pursuing the wrong degree? Can you honestly tell yourself that what you are taking up now is your OWN choice? The freshman year is a deciding period for most Lormanians as to whether they will pursue their respective degrees or shift to another. Students describe the first year of college as the most frustrating and the most demanding. It is the year when you begin to question the significance of your subjects to your course. It is the time when you ask yourself this question several times, “Para saan ba itong subject na ‘to?” Subjects like Philippine History, NSTP and Philippine Literature vaguely introduce the rudiments of the degree being pursued. For instance, associating Philippine History with taking care of patients in the pediatric ward is truly difficult. And who can explain the purpose of studying Trigonometry when your job is to treat patients who are already out of breath? Of course, minors like those mentioned in the previous paragraph lay the foundation of more advanced subjects. You are not taking them up for no reason. Most of these subjects are prerequisites. For instance, Physics is a prerequisite of most Radiologic Technology and Physical Therapy subjects. A good foundation in Biochemistry provides a better understanding of Nutrition and Diet Therapy. When confronted with such dilemmas, many students cry, “Are these subjects really necessary for my course?” or “Do I really need these subjects to call myself a [insert...
