Purpose – The aim of this study is to check how academic team results in Chinese universities are influenced by transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership. Since research, teaching, and operations are demanding more, knowing how leadership affects teamwork is very important. Design/methodology – Data used for the study were collected through a questionnaire that was designated for academic staff. Leaders in the department were assessed by their companies’ methods, and team members graded performance on a Likert scale. The study used linear regression analysis to analyze the data. Findings – Transformational leadership greatly enhances the way a team works, while transactional leadership improves performance to a moderate degree; laissez-faire leadership harms the cohesiveness of teams. The model showed that 38.3% of the differences in team performance was due to its explanatory variables. Practical implications – Departments should help develop strong leadership skills in their heads through training and guidance. Transactional management supports orderliness, but it’s recommended not to practice laissez-faire leadership because it has unfavorable results. Following established guidelines along with new approaches increases a team’s performance in academics. Originality/value –This study proves how leadership helps academic teams and seeks to urge Chinese university leaders to encourage motivation and performance
Abstract Background: Over the past three decades, there has been a dramatic global increase in the frequency of dengue fever (DF), DHF and DSS and their epidemics, with a concomitant increase in disease incidence.

Internet Accessibility and Student Performance in Online Classes of Senior High School Students at PLT College of Guinobatan, Inc. This study examined the relationship between internet accessibility and online academic performance of Senior High School students at PLT College of Guinobatan, Inc. The research focused on students’ demographic location, technological access devices, type of internet connection, and internet speed. The respondents consisted of 23 Senior High School students, and the study employed a descriptive-correlational research design. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed quantitatively, including the computation of means, percentages, and Pearson r correlation coefficients. The findings revealed that a majority of students (56.52%) resided in rural areas, relied primarily on smartphones (95.65%) for online learning, and accessed the internet mostly via home Wi-Fi (65.22%). Most students reported moderate to slow internet speeds, with variations between rural and urban respondents. Academic performance during the first quarter showed that the majority achieved satisfactory to very satisfactory grades, while only a small fraction attained outstanding performance. The correlation analysis indicated no statistically significant relationship between internet accessibility and students’ online academic performance, suggesting that other factors such as motivation, self-discipline, and study habits played a more influential role. Proposed interventions included providing recorded lectures for offline access, implementing extended deadlines, supplying printed learning materials, and establishing on-campus computer or internet access stations. In conclusion, while internet accessibility varied among students and influenced participation to some extent, it did not have a significant linear relationship with academic performance. Factors such as study habits, intrinsic motivation, and coping strategies were more determinative of student success in online learning. Based on these conclusions, the study recommended providing guidance on effective smartphone use for learning, improving connectivity in collaboration with local service providers, supporting students’ study habits, fostering self-discipline and motivation, and implementing flexible learning strategies to accommodate varying levels of internet accessibility.

This systematic review investigates the influence of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on brand image and customer loyalty in service sector organizations. CSR has emerged as a vital strategic tool that shapes customer evaluations, enhances brand perception, and strengthens loyalty across industries such as hospitality, telecommunications, banking, and retail. Despite extensive research, empirical evidence remains fragmented due to methodological inconsistencies, sect-oral variations, and geographical limitations. This review synthesizes global, regional, and local studies to clarify how CSR dimensions affect brand related outcomes and identify mediating variables such as trust, satisfaction, perceived service quality, and customer–company identification. A comprehensive PRISMA guided search yielded 35 eligible studies published between 2000 and 2025. Findings indicate that CSR significantly enhances both brand image and customer loyalty across diverse service contexts, with stakeholder and social identity theories emerging as dominant explanatory frameworks. Gaps include an over-reliance on cross-sectional designs, limited representation of African and Middle Eastern service sectors, and inconsistency in CSR measurement. The review recommends longitudinal and sector comparative studies to deepen understanding of CSR’s strategic contributions.
Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Sales Volume, Manufacturing Firms, Africa, Firm Performance A fresh wave of digital transformation has been brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), with artificial intelligence (AI) being a key factor in the global transformation of manufacturing operations. Nevertheless, little is known about how AI deployment affects sales volumes among African manufacturing companies, despite its increasing significance. In order to ascertain the degree of AI's influence on sales performance in the African manufacturing sector, this systematic analysis looks at forty peer-reviewed research papers that were published between 2020 and 2025. The review compiles information from several electronic databases, such as Scopus, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and AJOL, and adheres to the PRISMA framework. The results show that the application of AI greatly increases sales volumes through three main mechanisms: customer relationship optimization, predictive marketing analytics, and operational efficiency. Research from Tanzania, Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa shows quantifiable increases in revenue growth, market responsiveness, and productivity. However, obstacles including low digital proficiency, gaps in infrastructure, and expensive implementation costs prevent widespread adoption. Although AI has the potential to significantly improve sales performance in African manufacturing, the analysis indicates that in order to fully realize this potential, investment in technological infrastructure, capacity building, and strategic policy support are essential. To measure the causal relationship between

This paper explores the ‘karaang balay’ sa Salay, in the province of Misamis Oriental including its stories. Karaang balay is literally an old family house that is at least 50 years of age. This paper seeks to document these karaang balay because these old houses were witnesses to the beautiful cultural history of the town that provides the Salayanon a sense of place and connection to the past. The identified karaang balay includes the old houses of Prudencio Agcopra, Herminihildo Gabin-Agcopra, Margarito Agcopra, Ponciano Salvaña, Luncio Valmorez, Pascual Olano, Gimeñano Pante, Antonio Olano and Conrado Capistrano. This project conducts cultural mapping and key informant interviews. This study reveals that these karaang balay provide the family with a unique link to the past, an assertion that their houses are not just a mere structure, but a home that serves as a significant meeting place for family reunions, bonding, unity and a home that represents family's longevity and sustainability despite changes in the community. This study recommends preserving these karaang balay (tangible heritage), including its stories (intangible heritage).
This research work, titled “Personality Factors and Students’ Achievement in Biology in Calabar South Local Government Area, Cross River State of Nigeria,” investigated the influence of selected personality variables on students’ academic performance in Biology. The study adopted a survey design. A total of two hundred and ten (210) senior secondary school students were randomly selected through stratified random sampling from seven (7) public secondary schools in Calabar South Local Government Area of Cross River State. The sample comprised both male and female students. Two instruments were developed for data collection: a 20-item Students’ Personality Factors (SPF) Questionnaire and a 30-item Biology Achievement Test (BAT). Four null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Data were analysed using the independent t-test statistic at the 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that there was no significant influence of achievement motivation on students’ performance in Biology. Similarly, there was no significant difference in Biology achievement between introverted and extroverted students. Furthermore, self-concept and students’ attitudes towards study did not significantly influence achievement in Biology. The study concluded that personality factors, as investigated, did not significantly affect students’ academic achievement in Biology. Based on these findings, it was recommended that students should complement achievement motivation with positive study habits for improved learning outcomes. Teachers should also employ differentiated instructional strategies to accommodate students’ varying personality traits. In addition, behaviour modification techniques can be used to improve students’ self-concept. Finally, teachers are encouraged to understand and manage the individual differences of their students for optimal classroom performance.
This study, “Supervisory Practices of Selected Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Program Managers in Region V,” examined the supervisory approaches exercised by program managers assigned in Region V, with particular focus on the Province of Masbate. It described their practices in terms of leadership and decision-making, communication, performance monitoring and evaluation, staff development, and interpersonal relations. The descriptive research design was utilized, and the respondents consisted of seventy-three (73) DILG personnel, including technical, support, and administrative staff. The study also explored the demographic profile of the respondents, the challenges they encountered, and the suggested measures to address these concerns. Findings revealed that most respondents were aged 46 and above, predominantly male, and had served the agency for more than 15 years. Supervisory practices in communication, performance monitoring, staff development, and interpersonal relations were strongly observed, while leadership and decision-making were observed. The most serious challenge identified was political intervention, followed by the need for more skills training in technology and productivity tools. Respondents strongly suggested strengthening policy measures against political intervention and increasing training opportunities to enhance work efficiency. Based on the findings, it was concluded that supervisory practices of DILG Program Managers in Region V are generally effective, particularly in communication, monitoring, staff development, and interpersonal relations. However, leadership and decision-making need further strengthening. Challenges affecting supervisory performance remain, especially political interference and workload-related limitations, which require policy attention and continuous capacity-building. In light of these conclusions, it is recommended that leadership and decision-making practices be improved to reach a “highly observed” level, while the strong practices in communication, performance evaluation, staff development, and interpersonal relations be sustained. The DILG is encouraged to intensify policy enforcement to minimize political intervention and provide continuous training on technology and productivity tools to ensure efficient program implementation and timely submission of reports.

Specifically, the objectives of the study are to assess the baseline body composition and flexibility levels of students before the intervention; implement a structured physical activity intervention program tailored to the students’ needs; evaluate changes in body composition after the intervention; assess improvement in flexibility levels following the intervention; and compare the pre- and post-intervention outcomes to determine the effectiveness of the program. quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design on a NCE students, the study used a sample of 60 students who meet the inclusion criteria through purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using Body Composition Measurement Tools, Flexibility Test, Physical Activity Log and Observation Checklist. The study found out that Students in the experimental group showed a statistically significant reduction in body composition (BMI) after the 6-week intervention, and there was a statistically significant improvement in flexibility scores for students in the experimental group with the control group showed no significant changes in either body composition or flexibility. The study recommended that physical activity programs should be formally integrated into the timetable of the College of Education (Technical), Gombe, to ensure regular participation by students.
This study examines the volatility properties of the Nepal Stock Exchange Index (NEPSE) using 223 monthly observations from July 2006 to January 2025. Based on EGARCH estimation, the Nepalese stock market demonstrates asymmetric, persistent, mean-reverting, and highly clustered volatility, with negative shocks causing larger movements than positive shocks of the same magnitude. Among the macroeconomic variables, only the treasury bill rate has a significant impact on stock returns, confirming that rising short-term interest rates reduce market performance. Variance decomposition establishes that NEPSE is largely self-driven in the short run, with its own innovations, accounting for approximately 95% of forecast error variance. Money supply exerts a small positive effect, and inflation has a minimal negative impact, while the contribution of TBR increases steadily over the medium and long term. IRF results suggest that NEPSE strongly responds to its own shocks in the initial periods, which gradually diminish over time as external macroeconomic variables influence the market. Findings reveal that internal market dynamics mainly drive short-term fluctuations, while the influence of rising interest rates strongly influence medium- and long-term behaviour. The NEPSE remains largely self-correcting in the short term, emphasizing the importance of stable monetary policy and effective macroeconomic management for market stability, growth, and development. Key Words: NEPSE, EGARCH model, volatility dynamics, VDC, IRF.
This research determined the level of Reading Fluency (ReFln) in second-grade learners. This was accomplished using an instrument that evaluated the students’ reading rate, accuracy, and understanding. The researchers adopted the instrument created by NAEP to determine the reading proficiency of Grade 2 learners. Additionally, the researchers developed a four-level checklist to gauge students' reading fluency. The results of Cronbach's Alpha showed poor reliability for Level 1 and Level 2, but good to excellent reliability for Level 3 and Level 4, with Level 4 demonstrating the strongest consistency. The outcomes of this study provided insights useful for enhancing approaches that could be used to teach and evaluate the reading ability of Grade 2 learners.
This research examined teaching practices in pediatrics for third-year LMD students at ISTM in Maniema, Democratic Republic of Congo. Its objective was to understand how teaching methods influence the quality of training, while identifying barriers to learning and possible areas for improvement. The study adopted a mixed methodological approach, combining quantitative and qualitative tools. Data were collected from students, teachers, and section committee members through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and direct observations. This approach made it possible to cross-reference information and obtain a comprehensive and reliable overview of current teaching practices. The results showed that, despite the implementation of the LMD system, pediatric teaching remains largely focused on lectures and tutorials, to the detriment of active and participatory approaches. The use of methods such as simulation, problem-based learning, and the flipped classroom is still very limited, which reduces student engagement and hinders the development of their practical skills. Learners expressed moderate satisfaction, citing in particular the imbalance between theory and practice, the lack of teaching materials, and insufficient clinical supervision. Several constraints have been identified, including overcrowded classrooms, inadequate infrastructure and teaching equipment, and a lack of continuing education for teachers in active teaching methods. These obstacles limit the effective application of the LMD principles and restrict the quality of practical learning in pediatric care. The study concludes that the transition to more interactive, skills-based teaching is essential to improving training. The systematic adoption of active methods could strengthen the mastery of practical skills and prepare students to deal with real clinical situations with confidence, quality, and safety. Recommendations have been made at several levels. At the national level, it is necessary to provide clear educational standards, increase funding and material resources, and establish a system for monitoring and evaluating the LMD. At the institutional level, it is recommended that courses and internships be better planned, student supervision be strengthened, and modern teaching materials be developed. Teachers should integrate active methods into their practice and participate in continuing education, while students are encouraged to actively engage in their learning and communicate their needs to improve the educational process. In summary, this study highlights the need to rethink teaching practices in pediatrics in Maniema in order to guarantee high-quality training that meets the requirements of the LMD system and effectively prepares future professionals for the realities of the field.

Automated detection of surface defects in steel plates is essential for ensuring product reliability, reducing inspection costs, and improving overall manufacturing quality, particularly within civil engineering applications where steel components form critical elements of bridges, high-rise buildings, and large industrial structures. Traditional manual inspection methods are slow, subjective, and often fail to detect subtle or overlapping defects, motivating the need for accurate data-driven inspection systems. However, developing such systems remains chal-lenging due to the multi-label nature of real industrial defects, significant class imbalance in defect occurrences, and the substantial overlap in geometric and luminosity features across defect categories. In this study, we analyze the Steel Plates Faults dataset and develop a complete machine learning pipeline for modeling seven defect types using Random Forest and XGBoost classifiers within a MultiOutput framework. A comprehensive exploratory data analysis reveals important defect behaviors, including strong co-occurrence patterns most notably between K_Scatch and Other_Faults, and visual feature overlap highlighted by 2D and 3D PCA projections, underscoring the inherent complexity of the classification problem. After appropriately scaling continuous features and retaining binary variables, XGBoost achieves the highest predictive performance with a macro F1-score of 0.4928, outperforming the Random Forest baseline and demonstrating superior handling of nonlinear relationships and imbalanced data. Feature importance analysis further shows that geometric descriptors (such as area, perimeter, and posi-tional indices) and luminosity measures play dominant roles in predicting defect categories, offering interpretable insights valuable for indus-trial quality-control engineers. The primary contributions of this work include a detailed EDA of multi-label defect interactions, a rigorous comparative evaluation of two ensemble-based models, an interpretable feature analysis, and visualization-driven understanding of defect separability. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of machine learning for automated steel defect inspection and establish a foundation for future advancements using deep learning, imbalance-aware sampling, and explainability methods to better support industrial and civil engineering quality assurance systems.

The infinite darkness, the temperature and the time are the three fundamental dimensions of the Universe. The heat energy transforms the infinite darkness into the celestial bodies and vice versa by the passing of time, Because change is the law of the Universe. Hence heat energy is the creator, the ruler and the destroyer of the Universe. But God is the creator, the ruler and the destroyer of the Universe. So, Heat Energy is the God of the Universe. “ HEAT ENERGY = PRESSURE * VOLUME ” “ NASA says that ,Until around a few hundred million years or so after the Big Bang, the Universe was a very dark place. There were no stars and there were no galaxies ” This implies that, “ Universe had the infinite darkness only at the beginning ” “ NASA also says that, After the Big Bang the universe was like a hot soup of particles ( i.e. electrons, protons and neutrons) ” This implies that “ The particles of electrons, protons and neutrons were created from the infinite darkness due to the heat energy” Then all the celestial bodies are created from these particles by the heat energy. SEEBECK EFFECT : “ when two different materials are joined and one junction is heated while the other is kept cold , This temperature difference causes electrons to flow from the hot side to the cold side creating voltage. ” “ THE INFINITE DARKNESS OF THE UNIVERSE IS MADE UP OF THE INFINITE DARK MATTERS AS WELL AS THE INFINITE DARK ENERGY ” Hence “ Electrons are created from the dark matters by the Seebeck Effect. But Protons and Neutrons are created from the Up quarks and the Down quarks of the Dark Energy of the infinite darkness” All the living beings are living in the Earth. So they are created from the Earth by the heat energy. The fishes are living in the water of the ocean, So they are created from the water of the ocean. Similarly, there are crores of celestial bodies living in the infinite darkness of the Universe. So they are created from the infinite darkness of the Universe by Heat Energy. This implies that, All the celestial bodies are created from the particles of electrons, protons and neutrons of the infinite darkness. Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles within a system . Heat energy is the transfer of the thermal energy between objects due to the difference in their temperatures, It always moves from the hotter object to the cooler one . Motion is rotation and Rotation is motion. Hence , If a force is applied to a wheel such that every point of it moves simultaneously in the vertical cycloid path to cover on the horizontal straight line path. Then the following Inertia of motion is derived from the above fact as, A body is at motion, as long as the applied force on it, converts to the centripetal force as well as the centrifugal force. This implies the following law, THE FORCE OF ACTION IS ALWAYS EQUAL TO THE SUM OF OPPOSITE REACTION AND ABSORPTION This implies the law, 14 PARTS ACTION = 11 PARTS REACTION + 3 PARTS ABSORPTION => 1 PART ACTION = (11/14) PART REACTION + (3/14) PART ABSORPTION => ACTION = REACTION + ABSORPTION The following laws are derived from the above law Pressure * Volume = (11/14) Temperature----(I) , Heat Energy = (11/14) Temperature-----(II) Energy=(11/14)mass(velocity of light)² -------( III ) , Energy = (11/14) Frequency-------( IV ) The following law is derived from the law (I) and the law (II) HEAT ENERGY = PRESSURE * VOLUME “ THE CREATION IN THE UNIVERSE IS BASED ON THE LAW HEAT ENERGY = PRESSURE * VOLUME ” All the celestial bodies live by the following law ,ACTION = REACTION + ABSORPTION And every celestial body destroys according to the law ACTION = REACTION

An Excel Spreadsheets program was used to determine the parameters. The results of this study show that, higher annular mud velocities are required for efficient hole cleaning in directional wells than in vertical wells. boreholes is necessary for oil and gas wells. Adequate cuttings removal from a well in drilling is critical for cost mud samples, three annular velocities (3.82, 2.86 and 1.91ft/sec) and three hole angles (30o Increasing values of YP, YP/PV ratio and K promote effective cuttings transport while the value of n should be low. effective drilling as high annular cuttings buildup often leads to high risk of stuck pipe, reduced rate of penetration critical engineering challenge requiring detailed investigation.Cuttingstransportation during in non-vertical Effective and apparent viscosities also should be high.
This study titled “The Road to Readiness: Aspirations and Preparedness of Grade 12 Senior High School Students at Quezon National High School, Claveria, Masbate in Pursuing College Degree”, examined the levels of aspiration and preparedness of Grade 12 General Academic Strand (GAS) students of Quezon National High School in Claveria, Masbate in pursuing a college degree. It described the respondents’ profile in terms of age, sex, parents’ monthly income, and number of siblings; identified the challenges they encounter; and explored strategies to support their transition to higher education. Utilizing a descriptive-quantitative research design, the study involved 54 Grade 12 GAS students as respondents. The findings revealed that most respondents were 18 years old, predominantly female, with parents whose monthly income ranged from ₱10,000 to ₱30,000, and belonging to families with six to ten siblings. Students demonstrated high levels of readiness, aspiration, and preparedness—particularly in emotional and psychological aspects, which obtained the highest overall weighted mean of 4.77 interpreted as Very Much Agree. They also expressed strong aspirations (WM = 4.64), financial preparedness (WM = 4.29), and general readiness for college (WM = 4.37). However, they also acknowledged significant challenges, including fear of failure, social adjustment concerns, and limited guidance in choosing an appropriate course or school, with an overall weighted mean of 4.57 interpreted as Much Agree. Proposed strategies included career guidance and counseling, mentorship, academic enrichment, exposure to higher education institutions, parental and community engagement, use of online resources, and development of soft and life skills. Based on the results, the study concluded that the majority of Grade 12 GAS students are within the expected age bracket and exhibit strong aspirations and preparedness for college despite financial limitations and personal challenges. Their emotional and psychological readiness is particularly high, indicating resilience and a strong desire to pursue higher education. Nonetheless, financial constraints, large family size, and fear of academic or social difficulties remain potential barriers that must be addressed to ensure a smooth transition to college. In light of these conclusions, the study recommends strengthening initiatives that further enhance college readiness, particularly raising the level of readiness from Much Agree to Very Much Agree. The high level of aspirations should be maintained, while financial preparedness may be improved through scholarship awareness and family financial planning. Emotional and psychological readiness should likewise be sustained. Challenges and barriers identified should be mitigated through targeted interventions. Finally, the proposed strategies should be considered for immediate implementation to support GAS students in their pursuit of higher education.
