Pancasila, as the basis of the state, continues to experience fluctuations and challenges occasionally. As the basis of the states view of life, Pancasila directs how the process and law are carried out to fulfill justice amid state life. This doctrinal legal research reflexively examines Pancasila as the basis of the state and the source of law. The research findings show that Pancasila is the basis of the state as well as the basis of the states view of life, which serves as a guide in the management and structuring of the state. In the legal context, Pancasila is a legal ideal (rechtsidee) primary source of state law. Pancasila serves to ensure justice by assessing how the law is formulated and to determine the legality of a regulation. At the praxis level, the Constitutional Court, as the guardian of the state ideology, is expected to make Pancasila a touchstone in testing every regulation.

The COVID-19 pandemic has a negative impact on peoples living conditions, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa in vulnerable and low-income families. The aim of this work is to analyze the socio-demographic profile of people who engaged in food sales activities during the COVID-19 lockdown in Brazzaville, as well as their coping and survival strategies. The study, which used a mixed (qualitative and quantitative) approach, included 716 people (241 men and 475 women) aged 18 to 72 years residing in four communes in the southern zone of Brazzaville, Republic of Congo. The main study inclusion criterion was the practice of selling food during COVID-19 lockdown. However, we did not include people whose profession had been selling these products prior to the health crisis. The qualitative data collected during the interviews concerned information on vendors, sales locations, coping strategies used to find the products sold, and sales prices. As for the qualitative data assessed using a food questionnaire, they were summarized in terms of the quality and quantity of food consumed, which made it possible to assess daily energy intake and therefore the level of food security. The results showed that the sellers, with an average age of 42.7, had a relatively low level of education and lived in a medium-sized family (8). Of these, 21.8% were food insecure. Foodstuffs sold were dominated by miscellaneous products (48.2%), street foods (26.7%), ready-made meals (22.3%), cassava flour (17.4%) and fruit and vegetables (7.5%). Salted fish, smoked fish and frozen (imported) meat products were also sold. As far as prepared dishes were concerned, grilled meats of various kinds were the most popular. Sales outlets included state markets, neighborhood markets, storefronts and street markets for auctions. The use of rickshaws and wheelbarrows by a few money-seeking youngsters enabled the products purchased to be transported from the places of purchase to the various markets or sales sites. In short, given the absence of an effective distribution and marketing policy in the food system in times of crisis in the Congo, our results call into question the resilience of vulnerable populations in the face of the countrys sociosanitary crises.

This research determined the effectiveness of developed instructional videos in enhancing the performance of the learners. This study utilized quasi-experimental research design and match pairing method. The participants were grouped into control and experimental groups where each group has 30 students. Pre-test results revealed that the two groups of respondents had the same mean scores while on the posttest mean scores, the experimental group had a higher mean score than the comparison group. For the formative test mean scores of the two groups of respondents, it showed that there was a significant difference between the formative mean scores of the experimental and comparison groups. It revealed that there was a significant difference between the posttest mean scores of the experimental and comparison groups. The test of difference between the pretest and posttest means scores of both the experimental and comparison groups showed that there was a highly significant difference between the results of pretests and posttests on both experimental and comparison groups. The results showed a significant difference between the performance of the two groups of respondents. Hence this Food Pro I-Vid is an effective tool to enhance the teaching and learning among the students in TLE.

Islam is a religion that contains doctrine and historical values that are visible in missionary activities. This practice cannot be separated from two aspects of Islam including the development of ideas and social change. Therefore, this research aims to ensure that the practice of dawah also encourages the development of Islamic thought patterns in the Indonesian context. By searching the literature and sharp interpretation with a hermetic approach to Nurcholish Madjids preaching thoughts which are scattered in several of his writings and lectures. The results can be seen in the dawah themes presented as a response to social changes that continue to develop, such as human rights, moral violations, corruption, environmental degradation, religious conflict, politics, intolerance, discrimination, the importance of quality education, and gender equality challenges played by Muslim intellectuals. In addition, ethical values in Islamic doctrine are observed and reconceptualized to ward off moral and social violations, correlated with existing challenges as done by Cak Nur (Nurcholish Madjid). Providing responsive and contextual dawah practices as carried out by intellectuals appears to be more substantive and targets the conceptual and operational problems of society. Therefore, the contribution of dawah activities is clearly visible in the change and progress of society.

Smoking is prevalent in various places in Indonesia, even in designated non-smoking areas. The Government of the Republic of Indonesia has implemented various measures to reduce the number of smokers, such as mandating the inclusion of graphic health warnings on cigarette packages. The purpose of this article is to determine the influence of visual communication of smoking hazard warnings on the attitudes of smoking students at Pancasila University. This article employs the concepts of visual communication and attitude. The concept of visual communication is broken down into three dimensions: identification, information, and presentation, while the concept of attitude is also broken down into three dimensions: cognitive, affective, and conative. The paradigm used is positivism with a quantitative approach. The unit of analysis is individuals who are active smoking students at Pancasila University. The data collection technique is accidental random sampling by distributing questionnaires via social media platforms such as Instagram, Line, and WhatsApp to 96 respondents. In this article, respondents agree with identification, information, and presentation, as well as cognitive and affective dimensions. However, they disagree with the conative dimension. The results show that visual communication of smoking hazard warnings influences attitudes, with an impact of 17.2%. This condition indicates that there are still many influences on smoking beyond those examined, such as peer influence, lifestyle, psychological factors, and others. Additionally, the visual communication on cigarette packaging is ineffective in raising awareness among smokers, indicating the need for other policies.

Insurance is an agreement that has been mutually agreed upon between the insurer (insurance company) and the insured (someone who buys insurance services), where in the agreement the insured must pay a certain amount of money within a certain period of time, which is called a premium. Life insurance premiums depend on life chances and interest rates that represent financial market dynamics. Insurance is a financial means in household life to face basic risks such as the risk of death or the risk of loss of property. One type of life insurance is dual-purpose life insurance, namely insurance that provides dual benefits in the form of life insurance protection and savings at the end of the policy year if the insured is still alive. Compensation for a risk that may be suffered due to certain events is obtained from the payment of a premium. There are two types of premiums, namely net premiums and gross premiums. The net premium plus certain costs charged to the insured is the gross premium.

Compared to pupils whose sole language is English, ELLs (students whose first language is not English) have a more difficult time reading grade-level information. Because of their poor performance on these tests, students with this profile are at increased risk of being diagnosed with a learning impairment. In order to assist educators create more effective strategies for teaching English language learners (ELLs), this article gives a synopsis of a research that investigated strategies to aid ELLs in word acquisition and presents the results. Several strategies have shown to be quite effective for ESL students, according to the study. Making ensuring that ELLs understand basic terminology, providing them with enough practice and reinforcement, and using cognates from their native language are all tactics that may be used to teach English as a second language. The challenges of creating effective vocabulary courses for ESL students are finally addressed. The short time that is usually available for direct vocabulary training, the huge vocabulary gaps that ELLs have in their second language, and the decision of which terms to teach are all substantial obstacles.

This study aims to explore how temporary changes in VAT rates affect consumer perception and behavior in Vietnam. The research is conducted based on self-administered questionnaires collected from residents of Vietnam. The snowball sampling technique was utilized to gather the data set during 2023. A questionnaire was prepared and evenly distributed among three main subjects from three different sectors and with income levels in three groups: low; medium; and high, respectively: (1) Workers from the manufacturing and industrial sector; (2) Lecturers from the education and training sector; (3) Managers from the finance and banking sector. A total of 513 usable questionnaires were analyzed. This paper employs the multiple regression analysis model (OLS) to test the study hypothesis. Analysis results reveal that the reduction of VAT in Vietnam from 10% to 8% has significantly impacted consumer behavior, where consumer products within the daily and durable goods categories are anticipated to grow, however, expenditure on entertainment products or services tends to decrease. Additionally, reasons leading to changes in consumer behavior were also discussed in the study. The findings of this paper will offer insightful perspectives for policymakers in formulating future VAT policies, especially considering the items that significantly influence changes in consumer purchasing power following VAT changes.

The context of the research study needs to determine the data recording method to be used in order to ensure that no harm is done to the participants. In-depth individual Interviews (IDIs) is one of the main data collecting strategy used in qualitative research on sensitive topics such as teenage pregnancy. Audio recording in capturing data during IDIs is a common practice. However, audio recording of IDIs should be done in the context of informed consent. The objective of this paper is to elaborate on how note-taking was used to capture data within the context of informed consent. The research design was multiple cohort Case studies involving Chongwe district plus national stakeholders of the Pregnancy Re-entry policy in Zambia. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with hundred (100) participants from different cohorts of stakeholders using note-taking to capture the data. Ninety percent (90%) of the interviews involved physical note-taking with 10 % being electronic notes. The results are that note-taking increased the interview time but it afforded the interviewer the opportunity to probe further as the data was being collected. The major disadvantage with note –taking is that it reduces the pace of data collection as time has to be dedicated to consolidating the notes and memory recall of information shared. The conclusion drawn is that upholding informed consent in research is key, therefore the capturing of data during IDIs should be guided by what best upholds the rights of the participants. Therefore, note-taking offers an alternative to audio recording.

The burden of care among caregivers has emerged as a significant public health concern. This study investigated demographic factors and perceived social support as predictors of the burden of care among family caregivers of children living with HIV (CLHIV) in Akwa Ibom State. Fifty-seven participants, comprising 6 males (10.53%) and 51 females (89.47%), were purposively selected from rural family caregivers receiving family support services from selected Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in Akwa Ibom State. A cross-sectional survey design was employed, utilizing the Perceived Social Support Scale and the Burden of Care Scale for data collection. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression were used for data analysis. Results indicated that age significantly predicted the burden of care among family caregivers of CLHIV (ß = .322; t = 2.50, P < .05). However, caregivers education (ß = .031; t = .235; P > .05) and relationship with the care recipient (ß = -.077; t = -0.58; P > .05) did not predict the burden of care. Notably, perceived social support independently predicted the burden of care (ß = .292; t = 2.29; P < .05). Furthermore, a significant joint prediction of demographic factors and perceived social support on the burden of care of family caregivers of CLHIV was found (F = (6,56) = 2.82; P < .05). The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and support programs that address caregivers needs, particularly in terms of social support networks, to alleviate the burden associated with caring for children living with HIV.

The utilization of technology has emerged as a crucial instrument for educators to augment instruction and enrich the educational encounters of learners. This study sought to determine the extent of teachers utilization of digital tools, their level of confidence in technology, and the significant relationship between the extent of teachers utilization of digital tools and confidence in technology, among the 101 teachers from the nine (9) schools of Manolo Fortich III District, Division of Bukidnon, chosen through universal sampling. This study utilized two instruments. One was a research-made questionnaire for the teachers utilization of digital tools and for the teachers confidence in technology was adapted, and modified questionnaire from the study of Heather (2014). Descriptive statistics were used such as mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The study revealed that most of the time teachers utilized Excel/Spreadsheets than video/Capcut. Teachers confidence level in technology found to be Always Confident. Furthermore, teachers utilization of digital tools such as PPT/canvas, video/caput and the like, and Excel/spreadsheets has a significant relationship to teachers confidence in technology. Thus, to enhance video/CapCut usage, teachers need training, support, and collaboration. Schools should provide professional development, technical assistance, and recognition of achievements. These efforts boost confidence in digital tools, improve pupils learning, and encourage creative teaching methods in the digital era.

The relationship between the school environment and student health behaviors is increasingly pertinent amidst rising health concerns among youths. This qualitative study, conducted across diverse socioeconomic backgrounds in Vietnam, explores the multifaceted influences of school settings on the health behaviors of students. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions involving students, teachers, parents, and administrators from three schools, each representing urban, suburban, and rural settings. The study identified key factors within schools physical and social environments that significantly impact health behaviors. These include the availability and condition of physical facilities, the nutritional quality of food offered, peer influences, teacher engagement in health education, and the availability of mental health resources. Socioeconomic factors and cultural attitudes towards health and education also emerged as significant determinants. The findings suggest that improvements in physical resources, enhanced teacher training in health education, standardized healthy food offerings, and greater availability of mental health services are critical for fostering healthier behaviors among students. This study underscores the need for holistic policy interventions tailored to diverse educational settings to promote overall student health.

The discomfort and apprehension associated with the Intrauterine Device (IUD) insertion procedure presents a challenge to its widespread acceptance as a contraceptive modality, notwithstanding its established efficacy. Healthcare providers play a pivotal role in addressing this challenge through the provision of comprehensive educational interventions targeting young women regarding the intricacies of IUD insertion. Such proactive educational endeavors hold promise in fostering heightened acceptance and utilization of the IUD, thereby reducing the rates of unintended pregnancies. This paper delineates strategic interventions aimed at fostering IUD adoption, bolstered by empirical evidence attesting to its efficacy in curbing rates of unplanned pregnancies, childbirths, and induced abortions, particularly within the demographic of young women.

The insights provide guidance for policymakers, employers, and job seekers in navigating the complexities of the job market.

Animals and species live by behavior, they possess instincts to survive. People live by their own products. Depending on natural conditions and social circumstances, people have different ways of living, ways of living, and lifestyles. A way of life is a way of making products that ensure survival and the maintenance of the species. The characteristic of this product is direct, realistic, inevitable, and natural human communication. Communicating in nature, using products as brokers, is social. Society is a product prepared for people to enjoy and satisfy. Humans do not exist, society is meaningless. The existence of society is rich so that people can live based on each others abilities and needs. Social satisfaction makes different ways of living in the process of development. The way of life makes products not only in tools, machines, equipment, robots, computers, AI, labor, plant care, and animal domestication, but also performs the basic function of survival, maintain the race and educate fellow human beings. But there is no product as good as people. Humans are both subjects and human products. Humans are both the subject of perception and the object of perception. Mutual ownership between people in family, religion, state, company, bank by tradition, canon law, law, charter, money. This ownership is both a product of necessity and a product of freedom in the process of development.

Doris Sommers Book The Work of Art in the World: Civic Agency and Public Humanities must be received as vivid recollections of anecdotal and yielding civic interventions. Most of these celebrated creative social interventions relate either to confident "high-ranking" political leaders or weird grassroots artists in some particular socioeconomic contexts already in paralysis.no doubt, such models of civic initiatives cannot be transposed to other communities; therefore, it is easy to reject Sommer propositions as over-optimistic and operationally inapplicable. It is also acceptable here to restate the reactions of the Duke Press editors who told Doris Sommer right at the onset that this book "is too much theory" and "no one wants to read theory".1

Community participation in the formation of local regulations is very important, because local regulations that are formed must be in accordance with the wishes and needs of the community.

The study determined the relationship between connectedness to nature, spirituality, and resilience among selected Filipino adolescents. There were 116 respondents, with an average age of 19.6 years, who completed a self-administered questionnaire. Findings show that the average level of connectedness to nature was 51.05 with the majority of the scores (71.6%) in the average range. More than two-thirds (67.2%) of the respondents had an average frequency of spiritual experiences. The majority (78.4%) also had scores in the average resilience levels. Connectedness to nature had weak positive relationships with spirituality and resilience. Spirituality and resilience were also weakly and positively related. All relationships were significant. Adolescent connectedness to nature, spirituality and resilience should be enhanced as these are related to positive individual states and outcomes. Further studies can consider larger samples of adolescents from various settings and how the mentioned variables relate to each other in different adolescent contexts.

Using a purposive sampling method, the research employs semi-structured interviews to gather in-depth insights into the participants experiences, which were analyzed through thematic analysis. Key findings reveal prevalent workplace gender discrimination, characterized by subtle biases, traditional gender role enforcement, and challenges linked to maternity and career advancement. These issues manifest through both overt marginalization and covert devaluation of womens professional contributions, highlighting the resilience and coping strategies women employ to navigate such environments. While the study focuses on formal employment sectors and may not capture all employment types in Vietnam, it provides valuable perspectives for policymakers and organizational leaders aiming to mitigate gender disparities. Recommendations include enhanced diversity training, transparent career advancement policies, and improved work-life balance support. This research contributes original insights into the complexities of gender discrimination, emphasizing cultural specifics that influence workplace dynamics in Vietnam.

This qualitative study examines the cultural influences on developing information technology (IT) skills among secondary school students in Vietnam. The research uncovers how cultural values, educational practices, and socio-economic conditions influence IT education by conducting in-depth interviews, focus groups, and classroom observations across urban and rural settings. Key findings reveal significant disparities in the perception of ITs importance between urban and rural areas, with cultural norms and economic realities influencing these attitudes. Traditional Confucian values inhibit active and exploratory learning methods in IT education. Additionally, English language barriers limit the effective use of global IT resources, while gender norms and socioeconomic status create uneven student opportunities. The study suggests policy interventions aimed at enhancing IT infrastructure, promoting gender inclusivity, and adjusting curricula to accommodate language and cultural nuances. Recommendations include the development of more inclusive, culturally sensitive educational practices to ensure equitable IT skill development. This research contributes to understanding the multifaceted impact of cultural factors on IT education and proposes strategies for crafting more effective and inclusive IT educational policies.

This research aims to analyze the impact of students perceptions and learning motivation as the main factors that influence physical education learning outcomes. Affective learning is reported to be one of the key factors in achieving physical education learning outcomes. A correlation design using the associative causal method has been used to collect information from a sample of 63 public elementary school students. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires and focus group discussions. Next, to examine the impact of this study, we utilized IBM SPSS software. The results show that there is a different correlation between physical education learning outcomes and predictors of student perception and learning motivation. The strength of the direct influence identifies that there is a significant positive influence on students perceptions and learning motivation on physical education learning outcomes. Therefore, the components of student perception and learning motivation are the main factors in physical education learning outcomes.

Artificial intelligence increasingly integrates our daily lives with the creation and analysis of intelligent software and hardware, called intelligent agents. Intelligent agents can do a variety of tasks ranging from labor work to sophisticated operations. A Chatbot is a typical example of an artificial intelligence system. For developing artificial intelligence Chatbot, we have implemented encoder-decoder attention mechanism architecture memory cells, TFIDF (term frequency-inverse document frequency) algorithm and LLM (Large Language Module). To conduct this research, mixed methods research could involve combining both qualitative and quantitative methods to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the research topic. Survey utilized as the main methods for collecting the primary data and reviewed the existing literature for collecting the secondary data in this research. The data was collected from 18 participants, including medical doctors, patients, lecturers and university students in Afghanistan. Additionally, secondary data was obtained through a review of literature from other countries that have faced similar situations. Moreover, the analysis reveals a widespread belief among respondents that the implementation of AI based Chatbot for Afghanistan healthcare service in mental health disorder will contribute to reduce illness in Afghanistan.

In recent years, mixed-frequency data analysis models have received much attention and application in the fields of economics and finance, especially in forecasting national macroeconomic indicators. However, in Vietnam, there are almost no studies applying these models. Vietnam is a country with a long-standing agricultural production background and the workforce mainly makes a living from farming. There are many types of Vietnamese agricultural products with high export value, bringing a significant source of foreign currency to the country. Coffee is Vietnams main export product, a product that earns a lot of foreign currency, contributing to the countrys socio-economic development. Therefore, applying models with mixed frequency data such as MIDAS to forecast coffee export growth is a promising new research direction.

The study used the RIAM technique to evaluate environmental sustainability using an environmental impact assessment through nine sessions of focus group discussions in the affected mining communities. The systems methodology involves assigning scores to impact component issues based on predetermined criteria, which are then transferred into arrangements that indicate the extent of positive or negative effects. The RIAM analysis reveals that kimberlite diamond mining has predominant negative environmental impacts across all three communities, A, B, and C. However, certain social and economic components reflected positive changes. Nevertheless, the positive impacts on those three communities are just about the same. From the total scores summary for the three communities, it is obvious that the kimberlite mining in the affected communities have negative effects than the positive effects. Based on these findings, recommendations were made for improvement.

The evolution of information and communication technology (ICT) has significantly altered a number of spheres of life, including law. Another result of this growth is the creation of electronic evidence, a brand-new category of evidence. When evidence is produced, kept, and transferred through an electronic system, it is considered electronic evidence. The evolution of law in Indonesia has been significantly influenced by advances in science and technology. Due to technological advancements, new lawsuits are being filed. This study employed a normative legal research design as its methodology. Both a conceptual and a statutory approach are employed. Electronic evidences introduction has led to a number of issues in the civil because the existence of electronic evidence in the process of establishing civil procedural law has not been explicitly and definitely accepted by the Indonesian legal system. From a formal legal perspective, papers and electronic data cannot yet be admitted into evidence in Indonesian civil evidentiary proceedings to resolve legal disputes. The civil evidence system has seen major changes as a result of the development of information and technology in many facets of society. Emails, instant messages, and other electronic data are just a few examples of the diverse electronic data that is used as civil evidence in court.

In the face of rising fuel costs and environmental concerns, the need for alternate energy sources is growing. Charcoal, generated from animal and vegetable sources, has emerged as a viable alternative fuel. Briquetting, which compresses organic materials into compact briquettes, offers an environmentally responsible solution for waste management and energy production in the Philippines. Basilan, noted for its agricultural methods, generates a substantial amount of agricultural waste, including rubberwood sawdust (RBS) and Rubber Tree Leaves which is perfect for briquette production due to its lignocellulose content. Charcoal briquettes, made of charcoal fines and binder, are an economical, smokeless, and long-lasting fuel option which may poses sustainable solution as the conventional method of charcoal manufacture, which involves tree felling, poses ecological concerns. This exploratory experimental design study investigates the viability and possibility of utilizing biocharcoal from dried leaves of rubber trees and rubberwood sawdust (Hevea brasiliensis) as an environmentally benign and cost-effective option. This study intends to create a sustainable cooking fuel alternative to standard charcoal by reusing agricultural trash.

Goal - to receive on first stage ß - SIALON containing nanocomposites by reactive sintering method at 14000C, with nitrogen pro-cess from origin composition in TiC-BN-SiC-B4C-Si-Al-Al2O3 (nanopowder) system. By using this method of synthesis, it became possible to receive nanocomposites with different percentages of ß - SIALON. Our task was to study the phase composition of re-ceived consolidated materials in the TiC-TiB2-BN-SiC-B4C-ß-SiAlON-Al2O3 (nanopowder-400nm.) system. Method. The obtained mass was grounded in an attritor and the consolidated composite was obtained by hot pressing at 16200C during 40 minutes, with glass perlite (Armenia) dope 2 mass%, delaying at final temperature for 8 min, under 30 MPa pressure and vacuum – 10-3 Pa. Perlite from Aragatc contained 96 mas. % glass. To study the phase composition of the composites, we conducted an X-ray structural analysis on the DRON-3 device. And to study the microstructure, we conducted research on an optical microscope -AC100 and a raster electron microscope “Nanolab 7” of the company "OPTON”. The values of the electrical parameters of the studied composites were calculated on the basis of the ob-tained "lgp- t" dependence. We have studied mechanical properties. Result. In TiC-TiB2-BN-SiC-B4C- ß-SiAlON-Al2O3 – C Carbon Fiber system we obtained nanocomposites with high mechanical proper-ties. The advantage of this method is that compounds, which are newly formed thanks to interaction going on at thermal treat-ment: Si3N4, Si, AlN are active, which contributes to ß-SiALON formation at relatively low temperature, at 1300-13500C. It is evi-dent that inculcation of ALN in crystal skeleton of ß-Si3N4 is easier since at this temperature interval crystal skeleton of Si3N4 is still in the process of formation. ß-SiAlON was formed at 14500C. Part of boron carbide was transformed into boron nitride in ni-trogen environment and in titanium diboride, which in the case of both composites is in small quantities. Conclusion. The phase composition of the obtained composite provides high physical-technical and performance properties of these nanocomposites. Compression strength-2198 MPa, Bending strength-271 MPa, Thermal expansion coefficient a20-700-3.8 10-6 0C.

One of the primary goals of any municipality is human development when it comes to regional development. Reducing poverty and improving community welfare and human resources are the primary goals. The poverty rate in NTB Province has dropped dramatically, and the income and economic growth in the area have increased, thanks to the many regional development initiatives that the province has launched. Finding out how local original income, balancing funds, and economic development influence the poverty rate in NTB province is the main objective of this research. Using a battery of tests and regression analysis, we compile a dataset consisting of panel data from ten NTB Province regencies and cities covering the years 2012–2022. The results obtained from this study show that local original funding (PAD) has a significant impact on reducing poverty rates and balancing funds that significantly reduce poverty rates in the NTB province. However, economic growth impacts increasing the poverty rate in NTB province, although not significantly. This may happen because Indonesias economic growth fluctuates, thus affecting the increase in poverty. Fluctuations occur due to factors such as national economic conditions, supply-demand, government policies, etc. This can affect the economic growth of NTB, and it also impacts the increasing poverty rate in NTB. In addition, the increasing population is one of the factors that contribute to economic fluctuations and the increase of poor people in NTB.

Orphans access to education is still critical for most of developing countries and Tanzania specifically. There have been government efforts such as policy and progams development and implementation to ensure orphans access to education, but the situation is still alarming. Literature in Tanzania have not explored fully the support mechanisms for orphans to capitalize their access to education. This study contribute to the literature by focusing on this case. The study was conducted in Tanzania and specifically Dodoma district. Four primary schools were involved in the study. Mixed methods approach was applied in this study covering a sample of 133 respondents. Data were analysed using the thematic and descriptive approaches. The study found that support mechanisms for orphans include government mechanisms, civil society organizations (CSOs) mechanisms and community mechanisms. Although these categories have shown efforts towards improving the situation, more efforts are required to solve the problem. The study suggests that, for government, it should continue building schools, hostels and counseling sessions at schools. Again, CSOs should continue raising awareness to community members, providing necessary financial support and help to orphans so that they can be able to attend schools. Moreover, community support such as taking care of orphans and encouraging them is highly recommended. These will make mechanisms applied to help orphans meaningful and contribute towards attaining quality education for all goal of sustainable development goals.

The aim of this paper is to show the application of the method of weighted residuals through subdomains to offer a solution to the steady-state one-dimensional heat conduction problem in a slab with thermal conductivity linearly dependent on temperature. The proposed solution is a fourth-degree polynomial, derived using three subdomains. Despite its simplicity, the solution demonstrates good accuracy, as evidenced by an RMS error of ??.????????????????????????????????. However, if greater accuracy is required, the Method of Weighted Residuals allows for the use of more subdomains with a higher-degree polynomial.

The first objective of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of sport massage and cold water immersion in the post-exercise fatigue recovery of the PPLP sprinter athletes. Second, to determine the effectiveness of sports massage and cold water immersion in reducing post-exercise stress levels of the PPLP sprinter athletes. This research used an experimental method with a pretest-posttest-control group design. The research population was PPLP Bogor 100m sprint athletes, totaling 30 athletes and they were divided into 3 treatment groups: Sport Massage, Cold Water Immersion, and Control. The sampling technique was random sampling with certain criteria. The three groups received an exercise simulation with a duration of 60 minutes divided into 10 minutes of warm up, 45 minutes of exercise, and 5 minutes of cooling down. Before and after the treatment, pretest and posttest were conducted including the level of fatigue recovery (pulse rate, RPE, FAS) and post exercise stress level (Daily Wellness Questionnaire). The normality test used Shapiro Wilks and the data homogeneity test referred to the Levene test. Testing the effectiveness used one way ANOVA for normally distributed data and for the data that was not normally distributed using the Kruskal Wallis test. The data was then processed by using the statistical program SPSS 22. The results show that (1) there are differences in the effectiveness of sport massage and cold water immersion towards the level of post-exercise fatigue of PPLP sprinters. There are differences in treatment effectiveness between the three groups (p < 0.05) for pulse and RPE variables. In the Tukey post hoc test it is found that there is a difference in effectiveness between sport massage and the control group (p < 0.05) and between cold water immersion and the control group (p < 0.05). However, between sports massage and cold water immersion there is no significant difference in recovering fatigue levels. (2) There is no difference in the effectiveness of sport massage and cold water immersion towards the level of post- exercise stress reduction of PPLP sprinters with a significance value (p > 0.05). Hence, in recovering post-exercise fatigue, sports massage or cold water immersion recovery techniques can be used according to the needs of athletes compared to passive rest.
