This study was conducted to determine the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) support and its implication to school performance in Opol West District, Division of Misamis Oriental during the School Year 2022-2023. Specifically, it sought to: 1.) assess the respondents level of 4Ps support in terms of education, health, and nutrition; 2.) find the program support implication to school performance during the School Year 2019 to 2022 considering the enrolment rate, dropout rate, and graduation rate; and 3.) determine the significant relationship between the level of 4Ps support and its implication to school performance. The respondents were the one hundred fifty (150) Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program beneficiaries in Opol West District, Opol, Misamis Oriental. The study employed the descriptive correlation method of research, which was essentially a quantitative description of the overall features of a selected group. The questionnaires were modified to match the demands of the study and to get the intended outcome. Moreover, descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation were used to describe the variables in the study. A Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient ( r ) was also used to determine a significant relationship between the level of 4Ps support and its implication for school performance. The findings revealed that the respondents level of 4Ps support in terms of education, health, and nutrition is high. As to the program support implication to school performance, on average, the enrolment rate stands at 19.80 %, the dropout rate at 0.03%, and the graduation rate at 10.18%. There have been effective measures implemented in the 4Ps to better support students, resulting in improved educational programs. There is a significant relationship between the level of 4P support and its implications for school performance. Most of the respondents prioritize nutrition over education due to the immediate and tangible impact on their well-being, where basic needs are a daily struggle. It is recommended that school heads should encourage their subordinates to strive hard in their areas of responsibility for quality education. Efficient classroom management can bolster students motivation to attend school regularly, therefore enhancing their academic performance. This study investigated the degree to which teachers classroom management in terms of modeling behavior, assessment practices, and learning atmosphere. Furthermore, it investigated the relationship between teachers ability to manage their classrooms and students academic performance.

| Minahasan Traditional Food in Manado Songs | Author : Johan Sahetapy,Tien Siamando,Troutye Rotti,Ilke Moniung,Mercy Mantau | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Various seafood items, such as octopus, fish, shrimp, lobsters, mussels, scallops, oysters, and others, are commonly displayed on ice. Popular seafood items like salmon, lobster, and shrimp are often collectively called "seafood." Although previous studies have explored the lyrics of Manado songs extensively, there remains a notable lack of research specifically focused on traditional Minahasan food names within these songs. The research utilizes a qualitative approach, specifically a phenomenological method, within an ethnographic research framework. The analysis aims to evaluate the frequency and preferences of international tourists regarding Minahasan cuisine. The research employs a combination of observation, participant observation, and interviews to gather data. Manado City and Minahasa Regency informants are selected using purposive sampling for interviews and observations. This perspective is supported by evidence showing that some communities can effectively engage with various forces. The finding show that the vocabulary of traditional Minahasa food names in Manado songs includes various types of Dabu-Dabu, such as Dabu-Dabu Biasa, Dabu-Dabu Lilang, Dabu-Dabu Iris, Dabu-Dabu Lemong, Dabu-Dabu Roa, Dabu-Dabu Cakalang, Dabu-Dabu Bakasang, and Dabu-Dabu Lompa. These terms illustrate the rich and intricate culinary diversity of Minahasa, showcasing the depth of local culture. Secondly, the meanings of these food names in Manado songs go beyond their literal definitions, serving as homonyms with social, cultural, and economic implications. These meanings highlight the profound relationship between food and Minahasa identity, underscoring food s role as a symbol and essential element of their daily life and cultural traditions. |

| Population Perception of Drinking Water Sources in Buea Municipality, Southwest Region, Cameroon | Author : Roy Lyonga Mbua, Takang Cecilia Manyor, Tata Emmanuel Sunjo | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Drinking water sources have always contributed to water quality positively or negatively. This study assessed the perception of drinking water sources and quality on the health of residents in Buea municipality. It employed the use of questionnaires and water quality tests in six selected communities to understand residents perceptions and potential health risks associated with drinking water quality. The study included 340 participants selected through convenience sampling across 8 communities. The findings revealed that consumer perception of public water supply quality in the study area focused on aesthetic features such as taste, color, trust in the water utility provider, and safety. Dissatisfaction with the physical appearance of water sources was reported by 32.3% of population, while 56.2% expressed satisfaction. Odor, taste, and color significantly affected satisfaction levels. A significant proportion (40.6% and 42.4%) indicated a lack of trust or partial trust in water utility providers due to limited information received. Additionally, 68.8% of participants perceived their water as unsafe primarily due to frequently experienced waterborne diseases, with health effects identified as a key indicator of water quality deterioration by 65.2% of respondents. Water samples collected from public supplies generally met WHO recommendations for physicochemical parameters, except for turbidity, which exceeded the recommended 5 NTU in all samples. Microbial contamination, indicated by the presence of total coliforms, was detected in four water samples. The health survey data revealed a high incidence (68.53%) of water-related diseases among respondents, including typhoid, diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, and stomachaches. These research outcomes enhance understanding of the relationship between residents perception of drinking water sources, water quality, and health outcomes in Buea municipality. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, water management authorities, and public health officials to develop strategies that improve water quality, address residents concerns, and safeguard public health. |

| Causal Explanations and Risk-Taking Associated with Voluntary Skin Depigmentation in Cameroon | Author : Mayoughouo Mouliom Adeline, Ebale Moneze Chandel, Pitty Baheten Pierre Loti, Mbame Jean Pierre | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :For individuals, conforming to beauty standards sometimes requires body transformations such as voluntary skin depigmentation. Skin depigmentation is a growing phenomenon in society. The reasons given in the literature vary from country to country. The health, economic and social consequences have been reported in the literature. Although the harmfulness of this practice is well known, people continue to use it, even though they are sometimes well informed and aware of it, despite the fact that it is a behaviour that is considered risky for their health. To understand this risky behaviour, individuals put forward reasons that may explain it, thus providing a means of analysis. This study uses the semi-directive interview method. It is made up of men and women aged between 18 and 50 from the town of Foumbot, recruited using purposive sampling. The study shows that the reasons given for this practice are either internal or external to the individual. The results show that most of the respondents have a good knowledge of voluntary skin depigmentation and the meaning they give to it. This study shows that depigmentation is not only practised by women, even men use lightening products. Individuals would therefore do well to accept themselves as they are (self-acceptance), as this practice has health, economic and social consequences. |

| Commodities of Work Positions become Monopoly Behavior | Author : Tong Thi Thai Chung, Le Viet Nghi | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The article aims to systematize buying and selling labor power under the condition of money as a measure, showing that job positions are just commodities bought, resold, and traded like any other commodity, making monopoly behavior popular. The article s content is approached from human and social philosophy to achieve the above purpose while simultaneously combining qualitative methods and synthetic analysis. The result is to clarify that all human attributes have the survival value of species; they become different commodities in production and business, measured by standards and money. Throughout the article, the natural world is diverse, with many species, and each species has unique survival characteristics. While animals live mainly in nature, humans create and live on the products of labor. The division of labor has created a complex society with many different occupations and social positions. Money, a tool of exchange, gradually becomes a measure of the value of everything, from labor and products to people. When money becomes the goal of life, people can lose higher spiritual values. This raises questions about the nature of happiness and the meaning of life in a society where money plays a significant role. |

The study presents a different perspective from research that has discussed social media activism towards the weakening of anti-corruption institutions in Indonesia. The results of this study found that anti-corruption activism on social media was effective, such as the use of hashtags, coherent logic and credible actors, contributing to the rejection of the revision of the KPK Law and the dismissal of KPK employees through the National Insight Test. However, the massive anti-corruption movement on social media has no impact on the Joko Widodo administrations policymaking in the field of eradicating corruption, this paper also reveals the strong dominance of the political elite in policy making. The conclusion of this article is that the effectiveness of movements on social media to cause public unrest does not necessarily have an impact on decision-making made by state organizers. |
| Validity of the Certificate of Inheritance Rights Made by a Notary | Author : Ni Kadek Purnama Dewi, Ni Luh Made Mahendrawati, Ni Made Jaya Senastri | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This scientific paper reviews the position of a Notary in helping to resolve inheritance cases through the preparation of an inheritance statement that reflects the official duties as a factual instrument used to protect the perfection of the inheritance and the use of materials that explain who the heirs are and how much each heirs share is. One of the factual instruments that reports a person as a recipient of inheritance is the Inheritance Deed. An inheritance deed is needed by the recipient of the inheritance in managing the transfer of rights to the inheritance to distribute the inheritance. Inheritance deeds for Indonesian citizens of Chinese (European) descent are made by a Notary, so that the form of the deed can be made in the form of a Partial Deed and an Ambteliijke Deed because both forms of the deed are together forms of authentic deeds that can be made by a Notary and the regulations binding on the making of the deed do not clearly explain the form of an authentic deed that is prioritized for making an Inheritance Deed. Both forms of the Deed also have full checking authority. The inheritance deed corrects the Notarys legal opinion based on the actual legal reality. Although there are no provisions regarding the presence of all recipients of the inheritance, a notary cannot harm the rights and benefits of recipients of the inheritance who do not appear in the deed making process. |
| Measures to Educate Skills to Identify and Prevent Dangers for Old Kindergarten Children at Kindergarten | Author : Nguy?n Th? H?ng | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :At preschool, equipping preschoolers with the skills to identify and prevent dangers is an essential task to ensure their safety and comprehensive development. For children at this age, the ability to perceive risks is limited, so safety education needs to be carried out regularly and effectively. Measures to improve childrens skills include organizing visual educational activities, such as games that simulate dangerous situations, and specific instructions on how to identify dangerous elements in the surrounding environment. For example, through lessons and games, children can learn to distinguish dangerous objects such as knives and scissors, and safe behaviors when communicating with strangers. Improving skills to identify and prevent dangers for preschool children not only helps them protect themselves but also creates a safe and healthy learning environment. This not only protects the health and safety of children but also helps parents and teachers feel more secure during the care and teaching process. By researching and understanding reality, the authors boldly propose measures to contribute to improving awareness and danger prevention skills for preschool children at preschools. |

This change has an impact on the pattern of behavioral changes in both interactions between economic actors, as consumers and production factors. This change in consumer behavior needs to be studied to be able to find out the factors that influence the use of noncash transactions based on the QRIS application for consumers in Mataram City: An Application of the UTAUT 2 Model (Unified Theory of Acceptance And Use of Technology) so that policy makers can make interventions that can ultimately improve development performance. The type of research used is explanatory research with the data collection method used is the sample survey method and data collection techniques through the stages of literature study, observation and direct interviews. Based on the results of the study, it is known that variable performance expectations, social influence, and habits affect the use of QRIS, while variable business expectations, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, and price value have no effect on the u se of QRIS transactions. It is recommended that Bank Indonesia together with Bank financial institutions must continuously ensure through monitoring and evaluation that the use of QRIS as a non-cash payment instrument can accelerate transactions made by co nsumers in addition to the need for continuous dissemination carried out by Bank Indonesia to be able to change consumer behavior related to the use of non-cash transactions through the QRIS application. |

| Dynamics in Crude Oil Prices: A Markov-Switching Autoregressive Approach Incorporating Sunspot Activity | Author : Vicente Montano, Romeo Pajigal, Glenndon Sobrejuanite | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This paper deals with the dynamic relationship between world crude oil prices and the activities of sunspots in a two-state Markov-Switching Autoregressive (MS-AR) model. The data set used was from February 1994 to May 2023, with crude oil prices and sunspot numbers as an exogenous variable. The MS-AR framework allows for regime-dependent behavior in the intercept and autoregressive coefficients and in the impact of solar activity on oil prices. The result distinguishes two regimes characterized by different degrees of persistence and sensitivity to solar activity. State 1 is highly persistent in the movement of oil prices with a lag 1 coefficient and has a much weaker negative relationship with sunspot activity. On the other hand, State 2 shows lower persistence with a lag 1 coefficient but a stronger negative relationship with sunspots. The transition probabilities denote high stability in both regimes. Asymmetric switching behaviorfavors State1, which is the more persistent state.
Model diagnostics values indicate very good fits to the data. The out-of-sample performance of the model does appear quite robust, as only a slight increase in RMSE to out-of-sample occurs. These findings help add to the present understanding of the complex dynamics governing crude oil prices and provide new insights into the possible influence of solar activity on energy markets. This regime-switching behavior found in this study has a bearing on energy policy, risk management, and the interconnections between natural phenomena and economic systems. This research underlines the need for nonlinear model approaches in capturing nuanced relationships in global energy markets. |

| Comparative Analysis of High Impedance Fault Detection and Point Location of the Nigerian 330 Kv Transmission System Using Artificial Intelligent Models | Author : Imo Edwin Nkan,Archibong Archibong Etim | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The occurrence of high impedance fault (HIF) in the power system network causes low current signal and sudden voltage surge which is disastrous to power system network. Currently, there has been no available means of detecting and locating HIF which involves low current and voltage arcing but there has been ways for detecting, identifying and locating the occurrences of high current. The occurrence of HIF is based on the contact of transmission and distribution lines with semi conductors which has caused several damages ranging from fire outbreaks to the distruction of power equipment causing increased blackout timeline. In this study, the occurrence of HIF on the Nigerian 330 kV transmission line is studied with the data utilized obtained from the Nigerian control center Osogbo. The data obtained is modeled in simulink and the outcome which is the current signal at normal condition and faulted condition are obtained. The transmission line distance is split into 4 points with the current signal at each point generated in simulink and exported to the matlab file. The data in MATLAB file is split to train, test and validate at 70%, 15% and 15% respectively. The data analysis performed is sent to the ANN (Artificial Neural Network) and ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System) with the current signal at normal condition. A 3-phase HIF is used as input data while the split distance is implemented as the target data to the models. The effectiveness of the the models in detecting and locating HIF obtained are analyzed. From the results of the comparative analysis presented, it is seen that the error deviation of the predicted HIF location with ANN for line 1 is 62 % whereas ANFIS is 2 %. Also, for line 2, ANN has a maximum error deviation of 50 % compared to 10 % of ANFIS. Lastly, ANN has an error deviation of 90 % while ANFIS has 3 % for line 3. This shows that ANFIS is a better model for detection and point location of HIF in the Nigerian 330 kV transmission network. |

| Community-Based Biomonitoring in Randuboto and Manyar Sidomukti Coastal Areas for Biodiversity Conservation | Author : Nurina Fitriani, Ulil Masruroh, Fariz Ardianto, Trisnadi Widyaleksono Catur Putranto, Moch Affandi, Hari Soepriandono, Rafiga Khadijah, M. Bagas Pramudya Pratama, Wahid Dianbudiyanto, 1ntan Ayu Pratiwi | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The coastal area is certainly one of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth. This unique environment is characterized by the encounter of land and sea, forming a distinct ecotone zone. Randuboto and Manyar Sidomukti, fisherman villages located in Gresik Regency, thrives within this kind of diverse coastal ecosystem. The inhabitants rely heavily on their environment. Protecting this environment ensures the continued prosperity and resilience of the villages way of life. Biomonitoring is a method used for biodiversity accounting to indicate the quality of an environment. This process involves the quantification of various biodiversity metrics, including The Shannon-Wienerdiversity index (H index). Using this method, a study was conducted to assess the ecosystem condition in the Randuboto and Manyar Sidomukti coastal area. The mangrove community in Manyar Sidomukti exhibited a higher diversity index (H = 0.42 – 0.68) compared to Randuboto (H = 0 – 0.082), though both areas fall into the low diversity category with H 1. In terms of bird species, Randuboto had a greater number (40 species) than Manyar Sidomukti (37 species). However, the Shannon-Wiener diversity index for birds was higher in Manyar Sidomukti (H = 3.33) than in Randuboto (H = 2.80). These findings suggest that mangrove populations require additional support to enhance their resilience, whereas bird populations appear to be relatively resilient to environmental changes. Efforts to bolster this include mangrove reforestation, community service and development, and training in community-based biomonitoring. |
| Hydropedagogical Literary Perspective on the Brantas River Myth in Java, Indonesia | Author : Nurul Hidayah, Suwardi Endraswara | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This study on the myths of the Brantas River is conducted using a literature hydropedagogy perspective. The research aims to dissect the literary aspects of the myth by applying the concept of water studies. This qualitative research uses data in the form of mythological narratives about the Brantas River that are prevalent in the Kediri community, collected through interviews with local residents. The data is analyzed through various literatures using the hydropedagogy perspective developed based on the concept "Learning from Water" by Prof. Dr. Suwardi Endraswara, M.Hum. The origin of the Brantas River is described by Empu Bharada, who divided the Kediri Kingdoms territory by pouring water from a jug in the middle of the kingdom. The analysis reveals several Javanese philosophies related to water: (1) water always flows from higher to lower places, (2) water always fills empty spaces, and (3) water always flows to the estuary. Additionally, the term "kendhi" is derived from the phrase "kendhalining dhiri". A myth suggests that if a president crosses the Brantas River, they will lose their position or power. This belief is linked to the mystical nature of the Brantas River, often used for rituals and spiritual practices by ancestors. However, the validity of this belief depends on ones logic and religious values. Moreover, the study explores how individuals perceive myths as life guidelines or literary works that enhance cultural awareness and wisdom in facing life. |
