Brod Mike,

I downloaded the SPSS manual and was able to find the solution to my problem. I was able to finally implement proper frequency tables and use Tukey Tests via Post-Hoc analysis because of the manual's easy direction. Prior to this, i was clueless on how to use the program. Thanks, Mike, for recommending SPSS; you're right, it is easier. The problem was that its such a complex program...a manual is necessary for proper internalization of the program's functions.


You have my gratitude, Mike.

lol ! semantics ra diay !

My Answer:


There are some positive results of organizational stressors and they include a greater response time towards deadlines, increased work load , productivity increases, pooling of resources and to an extent a cohesion of resources for the completion of one goal. We all understand that negative stressors usually result in the worker experiencing anxiety, tachycardia, and psychological strain. However, organizations and companies can create positives from this inherent negative by creating processes in which it allows the pooling of resources, namely the skills of each worker, for the solution of a problem. Thomas and Hersen divulge in detail about this by stating that companies and organizations can build cohesive work teams that can work in a collaborative manner (Thomas and Hersen, 2002).

Cooper talks about how organizations can provide supportive channels for workers who have experienced considerable stress and even cases of mental strain because of the magnanimity of work-related duties and stressors. Cooper divulges to us that there are training programs , rehabilitation programs and counseling.

The difference between perceived and actual stressors is that actual stressors are environmental strain that can have a direct effect on an individual. Perceived stressors are not actual direct threats, but are considered by the mental processes of a certain individual (Thomas and Hersen, 2002, p. 44).

In my life, my priorities as a medical intern and graduate student in medical epidemiology (dual MD-Ph.D program) provides me with a feeling of positivity that helps reduce the stress (mental strain) in the amount of information that is required not only in my clinical rotations, but also for a graduate degree in epidemiology. The effective use of diaphragmatic breathing is utilized on my part during times of extreme stress; regular physical exercises are a must for me as it provides a way of release. The kinds of actions and priorities that can lead to imbalance would be the outright evasion of duties, thus leaving the problems unresolved. Physical activity (in the hospital floor and in reading, studying, is the tool that is utilized to offset feelings of intrapsychic tension secondary to work load pressures).

Describe the positive results of organizational stressors. Differentiate between perceived and actual stressors. In your life, what actions, priorities, and behaviors are used effectively to contribute to balance? What actions, priorities, and behaviors lead to imbalance?

That's a good doggie!

And the list goes on and on…

NOW 95 years old, Dr. Fe del Mundo remains the doyenne of Filipino doctors, whose many accomplishments have changed the lives of millions of people. [photo by Fides Lim]

FRAIL BUT feisty still at 95, the diminutive doctora is proof positive of her own prescription for longevity: “Leave the dining table a little less full, a little hungry, and you will live longer.”

The black bouffant wig nods on her tiny, spare frame as she ticks off a simple diet mostly of fish and vegetables with little rice, plus a fondness for cheese. Yet there is more to this admittedly “lazy eater” who eats, she says, “because it’s there.”

Fe del Mundo, doyenne of Filipino doctors, is a woman of many firsts, whose many accomplishments have changed the lives of millions of people.

Married only to her profession, she however counts a multiple brood from generations down that she has variously embraced and they, her. They include not only those who were entrusted in her direct care, but also those whose lives she has touched and strengthened through rural rehydration and health centers, immunization campaigns against polio, measles and chickenpox, anti-tuberculosis programs, and a diarrhea treatment called BRAT (banana, rice, apple, tea) that has benefited and saved millions of children around the world.

There are also the hundreds of students who came under her tutelage â€" from the nursing school she set up at North General Hospital after the war, to her long teaching stint at the University of Santo Tomas (1943-1974) and chairing the pediatrics department at Far Eastern University (1956-1976), to the training centers and health institutes that she shepherded.

Then there are the 400 youngsters who became her special wards during the Japanese Occupation. The offspring of U.S., British, and other foreign nationals who were imprisoned upon the outbreak of the war, del Mundo with the help of the Red Cross set up a “Children’s Home” to care for these sick children in enemy-occupied Manila.

“I’m glad that I have been very much involved in the care of children, and that I have been relevant to them,” says del Mundo, in tones so soft one has to strain to hear her. “They are the most outstanding feature in my life.”

IT HAS been a life marked by both tragedy and triumph. The sixth of eight children of Paz Villanueva and Bernardo del Mundo, a prominent lawyer from Marinduque, the death in childhood of four of her siblings influenced her decision to take up medicine.

It was particularly the memory of youngest sister Elisa who died at seven years old from peritonitis, an abdominal infection, that firmed up her resolve to become a doctor. “She kept a little notebook where she wrote that she wanted to take up medicine,” recalls del Mundo. “When she died, I decided to take her place.”

In 1933, 22-year-old Fe graduated valedictorian from the University of the Philippines’ medical school. Financial problems nearly prevented her from finishing but a relative came to her rescue. In school, she observed that those who had textbooks hardly read them, while those who were hard-up like her would borrow and study the books whenever possible. But she says, “Monetary aspects have not been important considerations in my choice of direction or targets.”

The extremely shy girl who was known to cry when asked to speak before the class chose pediatrics as her field of specialization. Barely five feet and weighing less than a hundred pounds, she had often been advised by her medical professors that this was the best option as the patients would be smaller than she is.

But it was her research work as an intern in her home province of Marinduque that sealed her decision. “I saw how many children were not receiving medical attention and how many were dying,” she recounts. “There was no doctor for children and the provincial health officer had no background at all about pediatrics.” She was dismayed when the health officer always gave the same diagnosis and advice for every sick child: “Oh, that’s worms. Give him a purgative!”

Those experiences sparked a serious interest that would develop into a lifelong commitment in the identification and treatment of childhood diseases and its prevention. She was to pioneer in this expanded role of pediatrics â€" from the prenatal care of mothers to the health and development of children through adolescence. And her grassroots immersion in Marinduque would lead her to further reach out to poor children in other doctorless remote areas.

She had to be creative in the struggle to save lives in a country where babies die from the most common yet preventable diseases. She is credited with devising an incubator for use in rural areas without electricity, as well as a cloth-suspended scale to weigh infants and a radiant warmer made of bamboo to regulate the body temperature of newborns with special care needs.

The makeshift incubator consisted of two native laundry baskets of different sizes placed one inside the other. “I put in hot water bottles all around between them. I put a little hood over it and attached oxygen for the baby,” she says. “We had to do with whatever was available.”

Driven by a thirst for knowledge and to expand her horizons, del Mundo sought and worked hard to obtain a study grant to the United States. In 1936, through an unexpected scholarship offer under President Manuel Quezon, she was accepted at Harvard University Medical School for postgraduate work.

She recalls with a chortle that when she went to the dormitory assigned her in Boston, she found herself in a men’s dorm. Unknowingly, Harvard â€" which would open its doors to women only in 1949 â€" had admitted a female to be part of its all-male student body. But because of her scholastic credentials, the pediatrics head saw no reason to send her back. Thus, she became the first Filipino woman and the only female at the time to be enrolled at the Harvard Medical School.

POSTGRADUATE STUDIES in pediatrics at Harvard, Boston, and Columbia Universities led to a residency at Billings Hospital in Chicago and a research fellowship at Harvard Medical School. But on the eve of World War II, despite attractive opportunities to remain in the United States, del Mundo returned home. “I told the Americans who wanted me to stay that I prefer to go home and help the children in my own country,” says the doctora. “I know that with my training for five years at Harvard and different medical institutions in America, I can do much.”

This would become the pattern in her life. Between returning to the Philippines and staying in the United States, which she would revisit many times after the war for study tours and conferences, she always chose readily to go back home, where she wanted to do much more. She considered her trips abroad more as learning missions and for fund-raising to realize her dream of setting up a full-fledged pediatric center for both curative and preventive medicine.

Before that dream was realized, though, she first came to be called the “Angel of Santo Tomas” for her work with women and children during the Second World War. Initially housed at the Red Cross building near the University of Sto. Tomas (UST) internment camp, the “Children’s Home” she set up transferred to bigger quarters at the nearby Holy Ghost College (now Holy Spirit) when the number of patients grew to include expectant, convalescent, and nursing mothers. The makeshift hospice lasted from 1942 until 1944, when it was shut down after the Japanese ordered all the women and children back into UST.

After the war, del Mundo received commendations from the former prisoners and the U.S. government for extraordinary heroism in action. She would continue to receive letters and visits from her grateful wards for her courageous work.

But her one big dream became a reality at last on November 27, 1957, her birthday. With an P800,000 loan from the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), some donations, and the proceeds from the sale of her first house, the 100-bed Children’s Memorial Hospital finally opened to serve the public. She patterned the hospital set-up after a facility she had admired in Chicago.

Just as she had moved into a new house, she sold this to build her hospital’s adult wing. She again had to sell yet another home to fund the construction of another unit of the hospital, the Institute of Maternal and Child Health. Inaugurated in 1972, this was the first of its kind in Asia dedicated to preventive medicine, training and research, and rural extension work.

Years before, in 1958, she had signed away personal ownership of the hospital and turned it over to a board of trustees. She was able to pay back her loans.

She continues to donate the fees from her own practice to support the 30-bed charity ward â€" much in the same way that she had invested much of her own money along with her time and talents in all the previous hospitals she headed. In 1948, when she left the North General Hospital as director and senior pediatrician, she had scarcely enough funds to pay for moving out her belongings. But as she once said, “While the specialty of pediatrics is far from rewarding in terms of financial returns, the satisfaction derived from guiding and serving children is worth much more than a check for services rendered.”

THESE DAYS, a wheelchair aids del Mundo’s movements. But it has not constrained her from fulfilling a tour of duty that has lasted 70 years â€" and still counting.

Every morning, barring the worst of weather or a rare bout of illness, she still rises at five to catch the early mass at Sto. Domingo or nearby churches. Then it’s back to the hospital she founded that was recently renamed after her in recognition of her innumerable contributions to pediatric and maternal care.

The hospital compound along busy Banawe St., Quezon City is also home to del Mundo. She lives in a modest little suite at the east wing of the second floor of the main building. She still remembers the early years when she had to move herself and the staff members who were living with her from floor to floor as the hospital was being built.

Today the once dizzying spin of lectures, hospital calls, conferences, and yet more meetings has come to a pause, along with the once endless cups of black coffee. But the line of young patients has not shortened as parents or grandparents that were former patients still ask for her personal services. And the doctora still prepares the “history of the day” and makes her rounds.

“I’m glad I never got married,” says del Mundo. “I believe that I’ve been able to do what I’ve longed to do because of this.”

She remains forward-thinking and open-minded, even when it comes to population issues. A devout Catholic born and raised just beside the Manila Cathedral in Intramuros, she ranks religion as “the greatest influence” in her life. But she sees no conflict between practicing her faith and pursuing family planning programs that are opposed by Catholic church elders.

Apparently, she shares the belief that improving the quality of life of the poor means addressing the problem of unregulated birth rate. Even before the government began encouraging population control in the late 1960s, del Mundo had rural units in distant Palawan and Marinduque teaching family planning, reproductive and sexual health, and proper nutrition.

“I think that we can control population but still remain true to our religion,” she says simply.

Del Mundo is an avid believer as well in harnessing the role of the community and the importance of the team approach to primary health care. With her rural extension teams, she has traveled far and wide, enduring often primitive conditions, to instruct mothers on breastfeeding and to undertake the regular weighing of children under five and periodic examinations of water supplies.

Her own clinical studies include 150 scientific papers that range broadly from the measurements of 10,839 newborn babies and commonly missed children’s diseases to the pathogenesis of dengue fever and on immunization.

To her, the pediatrician must be “community-oriented and community-involved,” if they are to achieve the best possible health care for the youth. “Medical students must go out into the provinces to see firsthand the problems that exist,” she insists. “Pediatricians must be able to translate medical knowledge into a language their patients will understand. Only in this way can a doctor acquaint their patients with the importance of preventive as well as curative medicine.”

She notes that most pediatricians are women, proving that they have assumed this role well. “Women make good pediatricians and they can very much influence parents in the care of children,” she told the Medical Observer. “I feel that if you give the world the best that you can, the best will always come back to you.”

DEL MUNDO’S manifold services to children everywhere have brought her repeated honors. These numerous awards, citations, and plaques are proudly showcased all around the hospital she established, which will retain her name even though it was sold just last month to Accent/STI.

One award close to her heart is the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Public Service she received in 1977, in recognition of “her lifelong dedication as a physician extraordinary to needy Filipino children.”

“It came to me as a big surprise,” she says of the award. “And I’m very grateful.” An admirer of President Magsaysay, she recalls meeting him, but almost very casually. “He talked to me more than twice, saying that my brother (Salvador) was his former professor in chemistry, and my brother was very strict and almost failed him,” she says. “I told him I’m sorry, but I’d no idea.”

 cute message.

Filipinos who wanted to change their skin tone by making it whiter may be facing a more serious health problem if they don't stop taking the intravenous skin whitener glutathione (Glutathione IV). It may be a popular product right now, but is is also inviting potentially serious harm.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cited reports of adverse drug reactions from the use of Glutathione IV, ranging from skin rashes to the deadly Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis.

"The alarming increase in the unapproved use of glutathione administered intravenously [direct into the veins] as a skin-whitening agent at very high doses is unsafe and may result in serious consequences to the health of users," FDA head Suzette Lazo said in FDA Advisory 2011-004 released on 12 May 2011.

She said the adverse drug reactions are:

    Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis;

    Derangement in the thyroid function;

    Suspected kidney dysfunction potentially resulting in kidney failure; and

    Severe abdominal pain in a patient receiving twice-weekly glutathione administered intravenously.

Lazo also said incorrect administration of the substance, especially by untrained people, can result in:

    Introduction of harmful microorganisms that can result in serious infections including potential fatal sepsis (or inflammation of the whole body);

    Injection of air can lead to embolism, which is also potentially fatal;

    Unsafe use of needles (recycling, sharing) can result in the transmission of Hepatitis B and even HIV; and

    Counterfeiting of glutathione has been reported and may lead to use of non-sterile preparations that can lead to serious infections.

Glutathione is a compound naturally found in body cells. It is generated by the liver and plays a role in antioxidant defense, metabolism and regulation.

It may have the effect of skin whitening by inactivating the enzyme tyrosinase, which is needed in melanin production and converts the pigment to the lighter phaecomelanin, but Lazo pointed out this claim has been disputed.

"When administered orally, it is hydrolyzed by the gastric juices and further undergoes degradation by the liver enzyme, and the resultant bioavailability is low. Intravenous administration delivers very high doses directly into the systemic circulation and may overload the renal circulation," she warned.

More power to Filipina Professors !

Professor Lourdes Cruz, Ph.D, a Filipina scientist, was recognized by the 12th L’Oréal-UNESCO "For Women in Science Program" with a prestigious award.

The 12th L’Oréal-UNESCO "For Women in Science" Awards ceremony was held at the UNESCO headquarters to honor five exceptional women scientists, including our very own, Professor Lourdes Cruz of University of the Philippines-Diliman as the awardee for Asia-Pacific. The five Laureates, one from each continent, were recognized for the quality of their research and strength of their commitment. These women illustrate the determination of the L’Oréal Foundation and UNESCO to shed light on exceptional women in science who are helping to change the world.

Amazing. This Filipino priest had the courage to celebrate Holy Mass with these GIs even tho several blocks away, there were Japanese soldiers sniping and killing American and Filipino people. This priest was really risking his life to do this...

hehehe! very wise and prudent of you, madame isles. its never wrong to be conservative in financial matters (better to be koripot and still financially safe than a galante pero wa jamoy kwarts sa banko central..bwahaha!)

when i was in philippines 2 years ago, when i was touring the famous "SM CEBU", one worker at the MAC store was asking if i was from the 'states ( i was there with my cousin jing , as she was looking for a laptop, and i suggested to her we take a look at the MAC models), and he was joking around to me, "oh sir, you're form america, you can use your credit card!" ning katawa pod raba tong tawhana. ingon ra ko, "i never buy on credit. always on debit or cash." ning hilom. it's never good to use credit on anything because 1) you get charged %, and 2) its not safe to use one's credit card when in a foreign country (many horrible credit theft stories out there).

so i applaud you, madame isles, for not using your credit card !

I have relatives in Leyte that speak Waray-waray, lisod kaayo ilang language, i can only understand like 30- 40 percent of what they say. But, more power to all waray-warays out there ! Preserve the beauty of Eastern Visaya Dialect!

Diri ako makarit magyakan hin waray-waray kai lisod kaayo ! makarit gamay !

it must be great to celebrate with the angels.  happy birthday!

Funny. Her favorite song was "Mil Angeles" from the band Menudo. She was an angelic person, I would say. God called her home at a very young age.

You would have loved her. She was known to always post tons of pictures of flowers here in Tubag Bohol. How I miss how she would post pictures of her little farm in Japan.

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

- 1 John 3:16

How to Find Love that Sustains You

Love can see you through hard times, and that's what the Holy Spirit does. He lives in each believer. The Holy Spirit is our personal, intimate connection to Jesus Christ and God the Father. When we need supernatural assistance, he takes our prayers to God then provides us with guidance and strength.

The Holy Spirit has been called the Helper, Comforter, and Counselor. He is all those things and more, displaying God's power through us if we surrender to him.

When trouble hits, you don't want a long distance love. You may not be able to feel the Holy Spirit's presence within you, but your feelings are not reliable when it comes to God. You have to go by what the Bible tells to be true.

God's love for you lasts through eternity, giving you endurance for your journey here on earth and complete fulfillment in heaven.

God is not like an entertainer who shouts to an audience, “I love you!” He loves you individually. He knows everything there is to know about you and understands you better than you understand yourself. His love is custom-made for you alone.

Imagine your heart is like a lock. Only one key fits it perfectly. That key is God's love for you. His love for you doesn't fit anyone else and his love for them doesn't fit you. God doesn't have a master key of love that fits everyone. He has an individual, special love for every single person.

What's more, because God created you, he knows exactly what you need. You may think you know yourself, but only he knows best. In heaven, we will learn that God always made the right decision for each of us based on love, no matter how painful or disappointing it seemed at the time.

No other person can ever know you as God does. That's why no other person can love you as he can.

How to Find Love Without Limits

Who wants love that sets conditions? “If you hurt my feelings, I'll stop loving you.” “If you don’t quit that habit I don’t like, I'll stop loving you.” “If you break any of these rules I set, I'll stop loving you.”

Many people have a wrong idea about God's love for them. They think it's based on their performance. If it were, not a single human being would qualify.

No, God's love is based on grace, a free gift for you, but paid for at a terrible price by Jesus Christ. When Jesus voluntarily sacrificed himself on the cross to pay for your sins, you became acceptable to his Father through Jesus' merit, not your own. Jesus' acceptance by God will transfer to you if you believe in him.

That means for Christians, there are no “ifs” when it comes to God's love. Let's be clear, though. We don't have a license to go out and sin as much as we want. As a loving Father, God will discipline (correct) us. Sin still has consequences. But once you accept Christ, you have God's love, his unconditional love, for eternity.

When you're trying to find love, you'll have to agree you won't get that kind of devotion from another human being. Our love has limits. God's does not.

From Jack Zavada


Millions of people believe you can. They want to reduce the search to the click of a mouse and discover lifelong bliss. In the real world, however, it’s not that easy to find love.

We have such high expectations for love that no person can ever meet them. When that happens, we can give up, thinking we'll never get the kind of love we want, or we can turn to someplace unexpected: God.

Your reaction may be a disgusted, “Yeah, right.” But think about it. We’re not talking about physical intimacy here. We’re talking about love: pure, unconditional, indestructible, eternal love. This is a love so overwhelming it can take your breath away, so forgiving it can make you weep uncontrollably.

Let’s not argue whether God exists. Let’s talk about what kind of love he has for you.

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

- 1 Peter 4:8


 

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

- 1 Corinthian 13:13
