...ST.MATTHEW ACADEMY OF CAVITE LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Undergraduate Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the College of Business and Entrepreneurship Cavite State University Imus, Cavite In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Information Technology JENNIFER ACEBO DYAN JESSICA LIM JOBIN DEL ROSARIO INTRODUCTION In today’s modern age where computer has become a way of life, it is evident that a majority of country’s institution still do not adapt high technology. Particularly in some schools, library transactions are still done on paper. We all know that modern school libraries are operating at great pace striving to serve as many students as possible with the best of their abilities. But as the years rolled by, the number of study has grown and the manual method of managing student and book records is no longer practical. A Library Management System is a system that makes use of information technology to perform managerial objects. The main goal of a library management information system is to store, organize, share and retrieve vital information needed to perform daily operational functions of the library. St. Matthew Academy of Cavite does not have one. Since library has a very large number of books and large number of members, it is impossible for librarians to handle day to day activities manually. Therefore...

...STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AS INFLUENCED BY THE USE OF SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES AND OTHER ONLINE ACTIVITIES Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study In this age of globalization, the advent of internet is something that has shaken almost all spheres of personal, social and professional human life. Wikipedia.org, 2012 cited that with the rapid growth of people who use or have access to the Internet, millions of people can stay connected together using the web provision called Social Networking Sites (SNSs). According to Chelly and Mataillet, 2012 that social networking sites are interactive web links that give people an opportunity to create, share and publish information, build communities and communicate around the world. Specifically, social networking is a common online activity that allows people to communicate with those they would not usually have contact with and this communication includes information, news, ideas, pictures, technology, cultural practices, and anything else that people can say to each other in face to face interactions (wikia.com, 2012). Moreover, SNSs provide place for other online activities like searching information, gaming, shopping, viewing videos, listening music, uploading and viewing pictures, reading posts, blogging, and online banking; and, those activities are positively the reason why many students are interested in checking out these sites (Asilo et al, 2010). Indeed, a study in the USA revealed that teenagers are keen...

LENDIO A Thesis Proposal Presented to the Faculty of the College of Agriculture & Tech Jose Rizal Memorial State University – Tampilisan Campus Znac, Tampilisan, Zamboanga del Norte In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION June, 2017 INTRODUTION Learning style is defined as “the way each person begins to concentrate on, process, internalize, and retain new and difficult information” (Dunn and Dunn, 1999). Cognizant of the Centro Escolar University vision of “Sustaining Quality and Excellence in the Next 100 years”, the school of Accountancy and Management continuously appraises its academic performance. According to Edward E. Lawler (2010), “the typical person rates his or her performance at about 80th percentile. Hence, people tend to believe they’re doing better than most of the people around them. But, to meet the standard of quality and excellence, an organization requires consistent level of high performance. The hallmark of modern appraisal philosophy focuses on the present performance, future goals, and knowledge of the results. “It is on this premise that the present research focuses on the identification and comparison of the learning styles of the students in the School...

...refers to the so-called “fine arts” (e.g. pictorial, plastic, and building)– and to the so-called “minor arts” (everyday, useful, applied, and decorative arts) • The word “art” is derived from arti, which denotes craftsmanship, skill, mastery of form, inventiveness. • Art serves as a technical and creative record of human needs and achievements. The word 'art' is often used in our daily lives. However, when we scrutinize the word in depth, defining what is art may not be as straight forward as it appears to be. SOURCE: Atkins, R. (2010). Art Speak; A Guide to Contemporary Ideas, Movements and Buzzwords. In this module, we are dealing with the subject of aesthetic visual arts, which includes painting, sculpture, photography, and so on. Aesthetic art, in my opinion, is something...

...C h a p t e r 1 Prewriting GETTING STARTED (OR SOUP-CAN LABELS CAN BE FASCINATING) For many writers, getting started is the hardest part. You may have noticed that when it is time to begin a writing assignment, you suddenly develop an enormous desire to straighten your books, water your plants, or sharpen your pencils for the fifth time. If this situation sounds familiar, you may find it reassuring to know that many professionals undergo these same strange compulsions before they begin writing. Jean Kerr, author of Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, admits that she often finds herself in the kitchen reading soup-can labels—or anything—in order to prolong the moments before taking pen in hand. John C. Calhoun, vice president under Andrew Jackson, insisted he had to plow his fields before he could write, and Joseph Conrad, author of Lord Jim and other novels, is said to have cried on occasion from the sheer dread of sitting down to compose his stories. To spare you as much hand-wringing as possible, this chapter presents some practical suggestions on how to begin writing your short essay. Although all writers must find the methods that work best for them, you may find some of the following ideas helpful. But no matter how you actually begin putting words on paper, it is absolutely essential to maintain two basic ideas concerning your writing task. Before you write a single sentence, you should always remind yourself that 1. You have some valuable ideas to tell your reader,...

...“Complexity, TOC and Terrorism”, was presented in an embryonic form at the ISA conference in Chicago, USA, March 2007. Chapter 4, “Organised Crime”, is the further elaboration of a chapter of the same title published in 2007 in the Oxford Handbook on the United Nations Statement of Length The dissertation does not exceed the word limit of 80,000 words Fieldwork Thailand (money laundering); Indonesia and Burma (deforestation); New York (US money supply); Washington DC and Fort Worth, Texas (Organised Crime linked to terrorist funding); Australia (Sydney, (APG) and Canberra (money laundering, South Pacific); and Rome, Italy (Chinese organised crime). Contact Frank.Madsen@cantab.net Abstract Through an analysis of the presence and nature of international monetary flows of non-declared origin and their relation to deviant knowledge, the thesis determines that both terrorism and organised crime are nurtured by a constant trickle from minor sources rather than by large financial transfers; and that anti-money laundering provisions are misapplied, taken too far, too expensive, and incapable of demonstrating their effectiveness. In lieu of more traditional policy recommendations, the thesis develops a complexity-theory based...
