Self-concept in mathematics can be defined as student ratings of their skills, ability, enjoyment, and interest in mathematics is seen as an essential factor in their achievement in math. This study assessed the self-concept and academic performance in Math of the Grade 10 students of a public national high school, Cebu, Philippines. The study employed descriptive correlational research. One hundred eighty-three respondents were asked to answer a survey questionnaire in order to measure their self-concept. Their academic performances were assessed using their grades in Math. The assembled information was dealt with measurably utilizing recurrence, percentage, weighted mean, t-test, and Pearson r. Results revealed that they had a moderate level of selfconcept towards learning Mathematics. No gender difference was found on the self-concept of the respondents, but there was a significant relationship between self-concept and the respondents' academic performance in Mathematics. Hence, a Math performance enhancement plan is highly recommended for adoption and evaluation.
Woodworking is among the most dangerous activities with manifold risks to occupational safety and health of operators. Most of these risks are associated with the design of woodworking equipment. In this regard, the identification of woodworking equipment hazards (WEHs) is essential for improving safety. However, collective the identification and assessment of WEHs is not yet attempted in the woodworking literature, especially in the context of a developing country whose woodworking sector is more exposed to these risks. To address this gap, this paper employs a double triangular fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) in conjunction with the fuzzy Best-Worst method (F-BWM). The FDM was employed to select relevant WEHs, which are collectively sourced from previous literature, while the F-BWM is used to rank the relevant WEHs. The findings of this paper show that the risks posed by lack of "kickback safeguards" are the most important, while the risks posed by inadequate "maintenance functions" are the least important. The proposed algorithmic framework of this paper can help managers, occupational safety and health professionals, and woodworking firms in developing countries like the Philippines to build the capability they need to address WEHs and, to some extent, improve safety practices in the woodworking industry.
The utility model discussed in this study discloses a wood lathe balancing rest that is advantageous in terms of design, ergonomics, and functions. The study aimed to fabricate a safety device for the wood lathe machine to prevent kickback and slow down vibration from the workpiece attached to the lathe machine to avoid the vibration of the workpiece and to avoid an accident to the operator and to avoid damage of the materials. The utility model is planned not exclusively to spare time yet also for the wellbeing of the laborers amid activity. It is designed to hold the workpiece when turning and control the vibration, it can be mounted on the bed of the lathe near the center of the turning planetary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
