ABSTRACT: The study aimed to determine the relationship between school learning action cell and innovative work behavior among teachers. Using the descriptive-correlation research approach to conduct a thorough analysis of the study, the researcher used a survey questionnaire. The data revealed that most of the schools that conduct School Learning Action Cell choose topics for their training that can cater to the needs of the teachers in terms of content and pedagogy. Among the areas of implementation, organization of learning groups for school-based learning activity is highly implemented. Regarding with the indicators of monitoring and evaluation, among the indicators, respondents observed that it is very satisfactory that SLAC objectives are clearly stated. In terms of opportunity exploration, teachers highly practiced that they look for opportunities to improve an existing teaching strategy, learning resources and work relations. In idea generation, they find new approaches in effective delivery of learning, and expressing personal ideas for improvements and innovations in their workplace are highly practiced. Teachers highly practiced, in terms of idea championing, the promotion of educational innovation so that they have a chance to be implemented. Lastly, the results revealed that that there is significant relationship between School Learning Action Cell in planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and Innovative Work Behavior of the respondents in terms of: Opportunity Exploration; Idea Generation; Idea Championing; and Idea Application. Among the domains, very high correlation was observed between school learning action cell and innovative work behavior.

ABSTRACT: Freedom is a concept frequently used in our daily lives as we interact with one another in society. Everyone wants to be free. We realize that it is a concept that is not clearly understood by many people causing misunderstandings among people. It is an existential problem that continues to persist. It is a topic that philosophers such as Simone De Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty have addressed. De Beauvoir is an existential philosopher who has extensively dealt with freedom in her works. It is impossible to discuss freedom while ignoring the problem of human dignity. It is also noted that certain circumstances undermine the girl child's dignity as she attempts to define and find purpose in her life, making her appear unauthentic. Therefore, our main concern in this article is to show how De Beauvoir understood dignity. Then using her views on freedom, we elucidate how it enhances the dignity of the girl child today. The article expresses why the girl child and not boy child by using the example of the Maasai community in Kenya. Lastly, the researchers give some objections and conclude the findings.

ABSTRACT: The ecosystems of many cities in emerging nations are changing and being modified. Approximately 10 million hectares of the global forest cover are being used for various purposes. Between 1995 and 2025, agriculture in Nigeria is expected to rise by 10 million hectares, while forest cover is expected to decline by 1.9 million hectares. This shows that Nigeria has been through a wide range of changes to its land use and land cover. This study examines the patterns and trends of land use and land cover changes in Udu Local Government Area, Southern (Niger Delta area) Nigeria from 2000 to 2020 with the goal of providing appropriate information for accurate monitoring and efficient planning. The research made use of Landsat 8 satellite imagery of 2000, 2010 and 2020. Remote sensing and Geographical Information System techniques as well as supervised image classification method were used to assess the magnitude of changes in the city over the study period.

ABSTRACT: It is undeniable that high temperatures, especially those that are above 35 degrees Celsius, make people feel "uncomfortable," which impairs their ability to work and think clearly, makes them irritable, hinders their capacity to attain their typical productivity, and makes them frustrated. One turns to what drives him to work— coffee, tea, and chocolate —to get over this dissatisfaction. Therefore, predicting per capita of coffee and caffeine consumption is essential and requires the identification of powerful and effective methodologies capable of deducing random dependency between the past and the future and creating an accurate prediction of future behavior. In this study, we use deep learning models for time series prediction with multiple steps ahead and evaluate their effectiveness, in forecasting the three-time series; KSA per-capita coffee consumption data from 1961 to 2019, KSA Percentage distribution of Employment-to-Population Ratio from Age of 15 Years Old from the Second Quarter (Q2) in the year 2016 to Second Quarter in the year 2022, and Average temperatures in some province from north to south of Saudi Arabia. Realizing the direction of the curve of these data statistics through extracting effective features in prediction by learning from the raw inputs. Experimental analysis shows that the suggested one-dimensional approaches; the convolution neural network 1D-CNN, convolution Long Short-Term Memory networks or 1D-ConvLSTM, and Encoder-Decoder LSTM or ED-LSTM can predict future values of coffee per capita consumption with high predictive accuracy.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine the level of technology research management among elementary teachers of Zamboanga City and its significant influence on their research engagement. Furthermore, it sought to figure out the significant difference between elementary teachers' technology research management and research engagement as the data is compared based on their sex, generation, position, and years of engagement as a researcher on their schools' research projects. It tried to find out the challenges met by elementary teachers regarding technology research management. Moreover, this study gathered 159 elementary teachers who have involvement in schools' research projects across Zamboanga City who were selected through a purposive sampling method to share their technological managerial practices in research and their engagement. Also, it employed mixed method design to gain the answers to all aforementioned research problems. The study examined the relationship between teachers' technological research management and their research engagement. The findings revealed that teachers were moderately skilled in managing technology research and highly engaged in research. The cognitive aspect of research engagement was positively influenced by social media communication, while the behavioral and affective aspects were influenced by technical writing and social media communication. This suggests that teachers' technological research management significantly influences their research engagement. Demographic profiles did not show a significant difference in technological research management and research engagement. However, challenges such as time flexibility, limited resources, lack of competence, and limited opportunity hindered teachers' technology research management and engagement. The study recommends including technology research management and engagement in Schools' Improvement Plans to promote research culture and integrating technology management in schools. It also suggests developing technology research training to enhance teachers' competence and addressing the challenges to encourage educational research in schools, aligning with the vision of the Department of Education.
