http://ijaems.com/ Open Access international Journal to publish research paper en-us August 2019 Purpose: To highlight the factors that make up the concept of job satisfaction in organizations and, especially, in universities in order to reduce turnover and increase productivity. Design / methodology / approach: Bibliometric research in 34 selected articles, Scimago Journal Rank Q4 or higher. Findings: The findings suggest that job satisfaction focused on universities, although it has been little studied in the academic literature, show that the factors are like other types of organizations. Limitations of research: These results indicate the need for more studies to build a theory to raise job satisfaction in organizations and, especially, in universities. Practical implications: This document allows to identify the multiple criteria that influence job satisfaction to create the necessary conditions to retain the best qualified and talented personnel. Type of academic publication: Literature review. Originality / value: This article makes three specific contributions to literature. First, identify the factors that influence job satisfaction within any type of organization; second, it focuses on job satisfaction within universities, and third, it shows some constructs that help raise the level of job satisfaction. http://ijaems.com/detail/factors-of-job-satisfaction-in-universities/ Ana Gutiérrez-Banegas http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/1IJAEMS-10720198-Factorsof.pdf The multiple push from the government, the public and non-governmental organizations has increased CSR awareness and makes CSR behavior of cooperators an issue. Considering the impact of sales efforts on demand, making the supply chain which dominated and undertakes the sales effort by retailers as the research object, This paper compares three models of the node enterprise pricing decisions in three CSR commitment models, studies the impact of CSR participation and sales efforts on member profits and social welfare. The study found that the three models can improve social welfare, sales efforts can reduce prices and increase sales; There is a big profit gap and different pricing strategies between M mode and R mode; The social welfare is the largest under MR model, However, there is a threshold for CSR engagement in this model, the supply chain profit shows a downward trend beyond the threshold. http://ijaems.com/detail/supply-chain-pricing-decisions-under-corporation-social-responsibility/ Meixiang Wu, Chengdong Shi, Qiang Sun http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/2IJAEMS-10820194-SupplyChain.pdf This research described the safety measures and safety warning signages of road construction projects in the first and second legislative districts in the province of Nueva Ecija.Forty(40)road motorists and ten engineers who were familiar with roads and road constructions safety procedures were asked to assess the safety qualities of the projects. The data gathered by the researchers were tallied and tabulated using frequency, percentage and weighted mean. It was found that the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) used during construction was properly implemented. There were sufficient warning signs and barriers on the road projects. Oftentimes, there was good traffic management to control the flow of traffic passing through the construction site. However, the traffic signs were sometimes visible and warning signs were often unreadable for drivers especially at night. http://ijaems.com/detail/safety-measures-and-safety-warning-signages-of-road-construction-projects-an-assessment/ Jeed Ignacio, Eraldjean Santos, Patrick Socorro, Dr. Noel Florencondia, Dr. Lorinda Pascual, Dr. Gener Subia http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/3IJAEMS-10820192-SafetyMeasures.pdf Pavement management systems (PMS) play a significant role in cost-effective management of highway networks to optimize pavement performance over predicted service life of the pavements. Although, the Iowa DOT manages three primary highway systems (i.e., Interstate, US, and Iowa highways) that represent 8% (approximately 9,000 miles) of the total roadway system in the state (114,000 miles), these systems carry around 62% of the total vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and 92% of the total large truck VMT. In this research, historical climate data was acquired from relevant agencies and integrated with pavement condition data to include all related variables in prediction modeling. An artificial neural network (ANN) model was used to predict the performance of ride, cracking, rutting, and faulting indices on different pavement types. The goodness of fit of the ANN prediction models was compared with the conventional multiple linear regression (MLR) models. The results show that ANN models are more accurate in predicting future conditions than MLR models. The contribution of input variables in prediction models were also estimated. The results indicated that climate factors directly influenced the pavement conditions, and ANN model results can be used by the decision makers to establish appropriate management actions to withstand harsh weather over the years. http://ijaems.com/detail/predicting-pavement-performance-utilizing-artificial-neural-network-ann/ Fawaz Alharbi, Omar Smadi http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/4IJAEMS-10820195-Predicting.pdf This study determined the relationship between the load growth and the reliability of an Electric Service Cooperative (ESC) in the Philippines. Statistical research design and documentary analysis were utilized in this research. It was found out that over a period of five years, the demand and energy consumption of the whole franchise area of the respondent ESC power distribution utility has grown significantly. Also, this study disproves that load growth may lead to the overloading distribution lines and equipment and thus, causes power interruptions.Furthermore, demand and energy consumption is not correlated with the frequency and duration of power interruptions. Moreover, this study also revealed that the reliability of the respondent Distribution Utility (DU) does not vary for the period of 5 years. It is recommended that there should be the right way of clearing activities and line rehabilitations should be doneto have a more efficient transfer of energy and to improve the DU’s reliability. http://ijaems.com/detail/correlation-between-load-growth-and-reliability-of-an-electric-service-cooperative-in-the-philippines/ Ron Alvin E.

This activity has how the main feature the sustainability, once the modality looks for the production with low water consumption and high exploitation of waste generated. The present study had as objective to describe the construction of the aquaponics pilot system. This way, based on the literature and acquired experience during the work, a step-by-step method was established for the assembly of the system. To verify the process efficiency, were analyzed the presence of total and thermotolerants coliforms, counting of facultative mesophiles and quantification of micro and macronutrients in leaves and roots of Xanthosoma sagittifolium. There was no presence of total and thermotolerants coliforms in leaves and roots of X. sagittifolium. In the count of facultative mesophiles the roots presented 6x104 CFU/g and the leaves 1.7x102 CFU/g. In the foliar analysis, 1430mg/kg of Fe was observed in the roots. It was concluded that the pilot project was successfully built and testing can be continued with new plants. http://ijaems.com/detail/aquaponics-pilot-system-case-study/ Stefan Buchdid Cardoso, Pedro Paulo Teles Bianchini, João Alberto Farinelli Pantaleão, Vitor Miranda Pereira, Mônica Hitomi Okura http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/6IJAEMS-10820199-Aquaponics.pdf Nowadays the wireless sensor networking is the common way for data transfer. So, it is a big task to upload and download data securely without any data loss. as we know in the wireless sensor network there are several nodes which are used to transfer the data. To perform this task there are various data transport protocols available. In this paper, we analyze the various protocol which is used for data transfer in WSN. We also discuss the various challenges which are faced during the data transfer in WSN. http://ijaems.com/detail/various-techniques-used-in-wireless-sensor-networks-for-data-transfer/ Ankit Saxena, Sandeep Kumar, Swapnesh Taterh http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/7IJAEMS-10920191-VariousTechniques.pdf This study delved on the sanitation practices of street food vendors in Cabanatuan City. It employed descriptive research design which involved the vendors and their customers. Majority of street food vendors belonged to the age bracket30 to 39 years, have had at least finished secondarylevel of education, married, hadmore than ten yearsof experience as a street food vendor; and spent fourto eight hours per day invending activities. Their attendanceto food safety and sanitationtrainings had either none, or only one to four trainings to some. Findings further revealed that self-assessments of the respondent-street food vendors on the areas of cleanliness such as hand sanitation, proper work attire, and personal health and hygiene; and food preparation, display, and storagewere consistently higher than the assessmentsmade by their customers. Likewise, strong correlation between the respondents’ profile and their sanitation practices was only found in the length of experience. http://ijaems.com/detail/sanitation-practices-of-street-food-vendors-in-cabanatuan-city/ June Jay Irvin B.

Likewise, the researcher believes that health awareness must be raised in private schools as well. This study aimed to affect the community to be aware and more knowledgeable about nutrition. Specifically, this study focused on the nutritional status of school age children in private elementary schools in Santa Rosa, Nueva Ecija. It sought to determine the profile of the learners, anthropometrics, clinical data and the knowledge of the learners as to dietary and the significant relationship between the profile of the learners and the nutritional status of the school aged children. With all the data gathered a meal management program was proposed. The study employed the quantitative description design. The study manifests that majority of the respondents were not yet aware of what they eat. In addition, age, greatly affects the respondent’s anthropometrics as to height. More so, age, number of siblings and family income, greatly affect the respondents’ anthropometrics as to weight. The researcher adopted the Nutritional Guidelines for Filipino program that was developed by the DOST- FNRI. http://ijaems.com/detail/nutritional-status-of-school-age-children-in-private-elementary-schools-basis-for-a-proposed-meal-management-plan/ Ralph Christopher M.

Nueda http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/9IJAEMS-10820198-Nutritional.pdf Traditional cultural practices reflect the values and beliefs held by members of a community for periods of time. Every social grouping in the world has specific traditional cultural practices and beliefs, some of which are beneficial to all members, while others have become harmful to a specific group, such as women. These harmful and, sometimes, discriminatory traditional practices include early and forced marriages, virginity testing, widow’s ritual, female genital mutilation, the primogeniture rule, and witch-hunting. Despite their harmful nature and their violation of national and international human rights laws, such practices persist because they are not questioned or challenged and therefore take on an aura of morality in the eyes of those practicing them. The purpose of this study is to discuss the impact of culture, tradition, customs, and law on gender equality in Africa. Applying the critical and analytic methods in philosophy, the study observes that law reform and development have traditionally focused on state legal institutions to the exclusion of customary legal system, and that where the courts had an opportunity to develop the customary legal system they either reinforced archaic customary laws or imposed Western ideology. This study further investigates, by means of interview in Nsukka part of Igbo-Africa, how ordinary men and women in Africa understand women’s right, and how their attitudes are tied to local conception of masculinity. The investigation reveals that a new configuration of gender relations is evident in Africa – one that accommodates some aspects of women’s rights while retaining previous notions of innate male authority. It concludes by showing that harmful traditional practices are unjust as they violate women’s human rights (guaranteed in the Constitution), perpetuate the inequalities between women and men, and contribute to extreme poverty that government should fight to eradicate. Man and woman have the same dignity and are of equal value ontologically, and as such, we recommend that different African societies should uphold this ontological equality and dignity while socially constructing gender. http://ijaems.com/detail/human-rights-gender-equality-and-the-question-of-justice-a-re-examination-of-male-chauvinism-in-african-culture/ Rev.
