Abstract onlyThis study was conducted to determine the extent of influence of personal, social and economic motivators on the choice of a nursing career and its relationship to academic performance among the nursing students of Aklan Polytechnic Institute, Kalibo, Aklan. A descriptive relational study was employed using one-shot survey design. The data from the 71 nursing students- respondents were gathered through self-administered questionnaires. Major Findings of the Study Majority of the nursing students of Aklan Polytechnic Institute were females and permanently residing in the barangay. Their parents reached college level, were unemployed and belonged to an average family income of Php 12, 471.83. The major reasons of the students why they enrolled in nursing course are: they wanted to go abroad, to attain higher education; to earn money and the belief that nursing is in demand. The nursing students had “high to very high” personal desire to go abroad someday. They feel that they have the ability to care and serve people, and they possess the required personality and skills to be a good nurse. In relation to social motivation in the choice of nursing career, the data show that the students’ family had “high to very high” influence, while relatives and friends had “no or slight” influence on their decision to take up nursing. Economic motivation has “high to very high” influence on students’ decision to take up nursing particularly their desire to help their family in terms of health and financial matters, have a secured future and stable job, and to have capital to put up family business in the future. The nursing students had this “average” academic performance. Since more than half (53.5 percent) of them obtained a grade point average (GPA) ranging from 2.0 - 2.49, which is classified as “average” in this study. Relational analysis revealed that sex, and residence is not significantly related to the extent of influence of personal, social, and economic motivators on students’ decision to take up nursing. No significant relationship was also found between monthly family income and extent of influence of personal, social, and economic motivators. On the other hand, sex and occupational status of mothers were found to be significantly related with academic performance but occupational status of students’ fathers and monthly family income were not. Finally, the extent of personal, social, and economic motivators on the students’ decision to take up nursing and academic performance was found to have no significant relationship. Conclusion Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusions were made: 1. Females dominated nursing students in Aklan Polytechnic Institute, permanently residing in the barangay with well-educated parents but unemployed having a little over ten thousand monthly family income. 2. Most of nursing students recognize their course as passport for going abroad, and earning money. 3. Their choice of a nursing career is greatly influenced by their personal desire to go abroad someday, their family’s choice, and their desire to help their family in terms of health and financial matters. 4. Most of the nursing students have average academic performance. This level of performance is not significantly related to their sex, residence, and the extent of influence of personal, social, and economic motivators. 5. Occupational status of students’ fathers had no significant relationship with the extent of influence of personal, social, and economic motivators. 6. The relational analysis between monthly family income and the extent of influence of personal, social and economic motivators on the students’ decision to take up nursing had no association. 7. The characteristic such as sex and occupational status of mothers is significantly related with academic performance but occupational status of students’ fathers and monthly family income were not. 8. The extent of influence of personal, social, and economic motivators on the students’ decision to take up nursing had no significant relationship with academic performance. Recommendations Based on the findings and conclusions of the study, the following recommendations are formulated: 1. Since nursing course is in demand abroad and requirements is very competitive, schools should set standards minimum requirements on qualities and attributes to the students who will be admitted to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program which include battery of psychological test such as interest, aptitude, and I.Q.; personal qualities such as appearance, grooming and personality traits. This may help students aware of the entry requirements in their application for work both in domestic and abroad. 2. Students should also be properly guided that their profession is not only to earn dollars but they should also be concerned of services in the community. 3. Since the majority of the respondents obtained an average level of academic performance, they should be given preferential attention by the teachers concerned to improve their level of academic performance into high or very high level. 4. Academic and major courses should be strengthened to enable the students easily pass the board examination. The school head should see to it that the instructor assigned to teach the skills based subject possess the necessary skills and expertise. 5. In the choice of career, parents should allow their children to decide on what course to take. They should guide and support the aspiration of their children in choosing their vocation in the future. 6. Parents of nursing students should be oriented that nursing course is generally costly and therefore, they must financially support the students. Parents are encouraged to be gainfully employed or self-employed to sustain the financial needs of their children. 7. Working mothers should provide quality time for their children to follow up their assignments, class schedules, review classes and other related activities. In doing so, they can provide guidance and direction for their children to improve his or her performance in school. 8. Researches may be continuously conducted to generate current data on the extent of influence of personal, social, and economic motivators in the choice of a nursing career of the nursing students. The result of this study may be used as reference for redirection and development of new strategies, especially on the BS Nursing program.Includes bibliographical referencesMaster in Nursin

Aplicación de Machine Learning en la Gestión de Riesgo de Crédito Financiero: Una revisión sistemática

Banking risk management can be divided into the following typology: credit risk, market risk, operational risk, and liquidity risk, the first being the most important type of risk for the financial sector. This article aims to show the advantages and disadvantages of implementing Machine Learning algorithms in credit risk management. A systematic literature review was carried out with the PICo search strategy, and 12 articles were selected. The results show that credit risk is the most relevant. In addition, some of the Machine Learning algorithms have already begun to be implemented; however, some have significant disadvantages, such as not being able to explain the model's operation and are considered a black box. In this sense, it discourages implementation because regulatory bodies require that a model be explainable, interpretable and transparent. Faced with this, it has been decided to make hybrid models between algorithms that are not easy to explain with traditional ones, such as logistic regression. Also, it is presented as an alternative to using methods such as SHAPley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) that help the interpretation of these models.La gestión de riesgos bancarios puede ser dividida en las siguientes tipologías: riesgo crediticio, riesgo de mercado, riesgo operativo y riesgo de liquidez, siendo el primero el tipo de riesgo más importante para el sector financiero. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo mostrar las ventajas y desventajas de la implementación de los algoritmos de machine learning en la gestión de riesgos de crédito y, a partir de esto, mostrar cuál tiene mejor rendimiento, señalando también las desventajas que puedan presentar. Para ello se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura con la estrategia de búsqueda PICo y se seleccionaron doce artículos. Los resultados reflejan que el riesgo de crédito es el de mayor relevancia. Además, algunos de los algoritmos de machine learning ya han comenzado a implementarse, sin embargo, algunos presentan desventajas resaltantes como el no poder explicar el funcionamiento del modelo y ser considerados como caja negra. En ese sentido, desfavorece la implementación debido a que los organismos regulatorios exigen que un modelo deba ser explicable, interpretable y transparente. Frente a ello, se ha optado por realizar modelos híbridos con algoritmos que no son sencillos de explicar, como aquellos modelos tradicionales de regresión logística. También, se presenta como alternativa utilizar métodos como SHAPley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) que ayudan a la interpretación de dichos modelos

Man’s Dark Interior: Surrealism, Viscera and The Anatomical Imaginary

Born of the sociocultural effervescence that swept through Europe in the years following the First World War, Surrealism represented a profound disillusionment towards the established intellectual order that it held responsible for the dehumanising and violent depths to which civilisation had so recently sunk. Decrying the inadequacy of postwar philosophies and politics to deal with the new, brutalised world of the interwar period, the Surrealists loudly championed a revolution of perception by replacing the certainties of prewar thought with the unpredictable discontinuities of non-Euclidean geometry, the base materialism of Georges Bataille and, most especially, the dark visions of the human psyche that emerged through Freudian psychoanalysis.</p
