Equal bodies: The notion of the precarious in Judith Butler's work2022 •
The aim of the article is to offer a reading of Judith Butler's understanding of the precarious, the notion which gives rise to her particular understanding of precarity. The first part of the article discusses the transition from the theory of performativity to the theory of precarity and claims that the body provides the link between a performative act and a precarious life. The second part scrutinizes the idea of the precarious as it appears in conjunction with life. Precariousness and precarity are related to dispossessability and dispossession, and to a politically induced inequality. The article concludes with a claim that the notion of the precarious offers itself as a possible point of departure for an entirely different conceptualization of equality, and as a strong basis for coalitional action or collective struggle. The specific positioning of the body and the political desire for radical equality in Butler's thought makes theories of performativity and precarity interrelated.

Learning Competency and Styles of Senior High School Students in General Mathematics2023 •
The fact that every student has their own level of mathematical competence and unique learning style should be understood and addressed by all educators. This thesis employed descriptive correlational method which aimed to describe the learning competency and styles of grade 11 students in General Mathematics, an array of students' attributes, and analyzes the relationship of these attributes with their competency test and learning styles. This study used chi-square to evaluate the relationship between respondent's attributes and the competency test and learning styles. Moreover, the current study used ANOVA to examine whether a difference exists between learning competency and styles in General Mathematics based on SHS tracks of the respondents. The respondents comprised of 356 grade 11 students of City of Bogo Science and Arts Academy Senior High School who took the 80-item competency test in General Mathematics and the Learning Style Assessment survey. The result suggests that senior high school track and grade in grade 10 Mathematics is related with the learning competency of respondents. On the other hand, learning style is related with gender and senior high school track. Furthermore, when respondents are group based on senior high school tracks there is a significant difference in their learning competency while there is no significant difference in their learning styles. The study recommends that teachers should use teaching methods that accommodate a variety of learning styles. Further research is needed to determine the impact of learning style in the learning competency of the respondents.

Impact of COVID-19 on Students' LearningThe terror stricken and dire impact of COVID-19 has quivered the globe to its core. Many pessimistic thoughts and panic comes to the mind when we infer to the modern pandemic of Corona virus (COVID-19). The change in mode of teaching from traditional to online do not have enough time to consider the probable risks and probable opportunities. With a very short notice for empowering digital transformation is not a cakewalk. Although online education is deprived of personal touch and face to face interaction but it can play an eminent role in revolutionizing the brick and mortar model of education into more updated and digitalized model of education. The major objectives of this study is to find out the impact of COVID 19 on the learning attitude of students and to know the future prospect of learning methodology preferred by students. A structured questionnaire is designed to achieve the aforesaid objectives of the study Keywords: COVID-19, Learning, Education, Attitude ___________________________________________________________________________ The terror stricken and dire impact of COVID-19 has quivered the globe to its core. Many pessimistic thoughts and panic comes to the mind when we infer to the modern pandemic of Corona virus (COVID-19). Everyone has the right to be pessimistic, as the chances that we are amongst this death toll is much higher than any other nuclear weapon. Impact of COVID-19 on different sectors has not left any stone unturned. The Education system is no anomaly. The pace of the pandemic was so prompt that educational institutions did not get time to device any plan to cope up with the storm it is bringing in. The change in mode of teaching from traditional to online do not have enough time to consider the probable risks and probable opportunities. With a very short notice for empowering digital transformation is not a cakewalk. Although online education is deprived of personal touch and face to face interaction but it can play an eminent role in revolutionizing the brick and mortar model of education into more updated and digitalized model of education. The unexpected switch to online learning-especially in a developing country like India where the understructure for online learning is not yet prominent nor is the student assessment , where trial and error method is used and there is uncertainty for everyone .With all this confusion students are becoming passive learners. Long hours with screens are leading to low level of attention span. Online education needs to put emphasis on different learning pace of different students and it is needed to develop customized solution for the same. There is a large proportion of students' population which is untouched in respect of digital
Brain death and brain-stem death: useful fiction with a purpose: Interdisciplinary study of the neurological criteria for death.
Brain death and brain-stem death: useful fiction with a purpose: Interdisciplinary study of the neurological criteria for death.2018 •
In spite of official acceptance of BD/BSD concepts, serious problems emerge with the medical and philosophical rationales for the neurological criteria for death. These rationales appear in various conflicting versions and this problem has never been resolved. Philosophical arguments, which radically separate the human mind and the body, are self-contradictory. Therefore, a rational justification for the BD/BSD paradigm is lacking. The way how medical professionals interpret the brain-based criteria for death, is very interesting. In general, they accept current practice and guidelines regarding BD/BSD, but typically, they use the “psychological” rationale for it, and quite often, they do not know the official organismic-unity or biological rationale. Of notice is the fact that those who procure the organs do not want to be organ donors. Physicians involved in organ harvesting use sophisticated methods to prepare the donors, whichinclude not only maintaining the hemodynamic stability in the donors, but also the application of thyroid hormones and painkillers in order to improve the quality of the procured organs. Some of these methods, especially the use of thyroid hormones are recommended by other physicians who rescue brain-damaged patients in coma. In addition, these rescuing physicians also use other hormones and medications necessary for the improvement of brain blood flow (BBF) and intracranial pressure (ICP). In some cases, therapeutic hypothermia and craniotomy have to be applied. All these methods drastically improve the state of comatose patients. The problem is that these methods are effective also in reference to the comatose and apneic patients who fulfil the BD or BSD criteria. The data obtained in world centers show that 60 or even 70% of these patients might recover and lead a normal, active life. This situation is creating a serious conflict of interest between brain-injured patients with their right for life and those who are waiting for transplantable organs. New therapeutic modalities and techniques of rehabilitation are changing the situation of comatose/apneic/areflexive patients with extremely low Glasgow Coma Scale scores, destined to be become BD/BSD donors, for the better. These new methods however, are not routinely applied in every hospital, and, in most countries, strict guidelines regarding brain-injured patients are lacking. The examples of those who fully recovered after the diagnosis of BD or BSD should be a strong argument for a new approach to the whole group of brain-injured patients as well as for the procurement of organs. One of the possible resolutions of the existing conflict of interests is to restrict the practice of organ procurement to family members. This is certainly not a fully satisfactory solution for the big business of organ transplantation, but it is morally licit according to most existing religious traditions and ethical systems (but not the Catholic approach). It should always be remembered that the most important rule in medicine, since antiquity is: “Salus aegroti suprema lex esto” (the well-being of the patient shall be the most important law). Evidently, “salus aegroti” is not necessarily identical with the “salus transplantologiae” (the wellbeing of transplantology).
