The Effect of Regularized Unweighted Least Squares on CFI, TLI, RMSEA and TLI in Structural Equation Modeling

Author(s): Nurul Raudhah Zulkifli*, Nazim Aimran, Sayang Mohd Deni
Volume: 5 Issue: 4 Pages: 392-401
DOI: https://doi.org/10.47857/irjms.2024.05i04.01411


Abstract In a confirmatory investigation, researchers are mandated to employ covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM). A crucial assumption inherent in CB-SEM is the multivariate normality of the data. However, real-world data rarely conforms to a perfectly normal distribution. To address this, unweighted least squares (ULS) is specifically tailored for handling non-normally distributed data in SEM.

Legal Narratives of the Effects of Surrogacy Agreements Under A Child’s Rights Lens

Author(s): Dustine Marlee C Serpa Juan*, Jessa Frida T Festijo
Volume: 5 Issue: 4 Pages: 344-352
DOI: https://doi.org/10.47857/irjms.2024.05i04.01151


Abstract The current legal landscape in the Philippines leaves surrogacy unregulated as there are neither laws nor jurisprudence on the validity of these agreements. As a consequence, it is unclear which rights and obligations arise from a surrogacy agreement. Using the Philippine legal system as a case, the study aimed at examining the validity of
