Dr. Czarina Aya-ay Saloma-Akpedonu, sociologist, was named Outstanding Young Scientist by the National Academy of Science and Technology (Philippines) in 2007.〔http://www.boholchronicle.com/2007/aug/19/comm1.htm〕 ==Biography== Saloma-Akpedonu is the youngest of three children of Engr. Ciriaco Balangkig Saloma, manager of the Bohol Power Grid of the National Power Corporation in the 1980s and Celerina Gatal Aya-ay, a public school teacher, both from Baclayon, Bohol. She finished elementary and high school at Holy Spirit School. When her brother, Caesar, was named Outstanding Young Scientist in 1992, her parents hang a poster of the NAST's Ten Outstanding Young Scientists on the wall of their library. One of the scientists featured in the poster was Ma. Cynthia Rose Banzon-Bautista who won the award in 1988. Dr. Bautista was Saloma-Akpedonu's teacher at the University of the Philippines where she finished her degree in Bachelor of Arts – Major in Sociology, cum laude. Saloma-Akpedonu earned her Master of Arts in Population Science from Peking University in the People's Republic of China and doctorate degree (Dr. rer.soc) from the Universitaet Bielefeld in Germany, magna cum laude. She is co-author (with Erik Akpedonu) of ''Casa Boholana: Vintage Houses of Bohol'' (Ateneo de Manila University Press, 2011), a sociohistorical introduction cum architectural guide to Bohol's traditional houses. The book has two major parts. The first presents and analyzes data from the architectural survey, and highlights notable aspects of Boholano vintage houses and their evolution through the decades. It also includes a socioeconomic profile of the family owners, and discusses issues like urban development, antiques trading, changing attitudes, and future prospects, among others, that somehow add to the precariousness of the houses' existence. () Saloma-Akpedonu wrote her first book, ''Possible Worlds in Impossible Places: Globality, Knowledge, Gender, and Information Technology in the Philippines'' (Ateneo de Manila University, 2006), where she explores the everyday life-worlds of the actors in the Philippine information technology industry. She continues to study the relationship between information technology and society, particularly, the field of information and communication technology and development (ICTD). () She is concurrently the Director of the Institute of Philippine Culture of the Ateneo de Manila University.〔http://www.dsa-ateneo.net/profile.php?ID=17〕 Her professional responsibilities included being Chair of Ateneo's Department of Sociology and Anthropology (2005-2010), President the Philippine Sociological Society (2006–2007) and Vice President of the Research Committee on Science and Technology of the International Sociological Association (2010–Present). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Czarina Saloma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
