DySARNet: a lightweight self-attention deep learning model for diagnosing dysarthria from speech recordings
Dysarthria, a neurological condition impairing speech, has garnered significant research interest in Deep Learning (DL). Curent studies underscore DL’s potential in automating dysarthria diagnosis and severity classification, utilizing well-known benchmark datasets like TORGO and UA-Speech. However, existing DL for dysarthria diagnosis, like Deep Neural Networks, are often computationally expensive, complex, and lack context awareness. This...
Hope and grit: the driving forces behind student-athletes’ motivation in sports and academics
While the challenges student-athletes face in balancing academics and sports have garnered increasing attention, few studies have explored how factors like hope and grit contribute to this balance and enhance motivation. This study investigated the relationship between hope, grit, and motivation of academic and sports of student-athletes. A total of 247 student-athletes of Mindanao State...
Long-Run Drivers of Road Accidents: Governance and Business Implications of Alcohol, Law Enforcement, Infrastructure and Urbanization
This study investigates the long-run determinants of road accident mortality in the Philippines, focusing on alcohol consumption, rule of law, and infrastructure development from 2000 to 2022. Using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach, results confirm a significant long-run relationship, with alcohol consumption showing a strong positive effect. The error correction model indicates that deviations...
Maintaining A Quality Workforce: A Basis for Enhanced Human Resource Program for a Local Port Company
This study aims to determine the effect of Quality of Work Life (QWL) on Organizational Commitment (OC) among the employees of a local port company, and to propose inputs to enhance their Human Resource (HR) program. Quantitative research was used to describe QWL and OC. The study utilized complete enumeration and frequency and percentages, Pearson...
Examining The Correlation and Effect of Quality of Work Life on Job Satisfaction of Bank Employees in Lipa City
This study assessed the relationship between quality of work life (QWL) and job satisfaction among employees of the Bank in Lipa City. Using a descriptive–correlational design, data were collected from 139 employees selected through stratified proportional random sampling across five BPI branches. Standardized instruments, including Walton’s QWL model and the Job Descriptive Index (JDI), were...
The tug-of-war between sports and physical activity anxiety in quest for self-actualization among university students
This study investigates the relationship between sports and physical activity anxiety and self-actualization among university students. Utilizing a quantitative research design with a descriptive correlation approach, the study involved 2,043 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Two primary instruments were employed: the physical activity and sport anxiety scale (PASAS) to measure anxiety levels and the...
