  Abstract
  Parental involvement is seen as an important factor in their children`s educational achievement and performance at home and school. The current study determined the influence of parental involvement on student’s completion of learning tasks in Science as measured by a survey questionnaire as the main data-gathering tool. The study utilized a mixed-method approach to examine the data obtained from the two hundred four (204) parents of Grade 11 students belonging to the academic track of Narra National High School, Narra, Palawan, Philippines. Results of the study disclosed that the majority of the parents are employed, full-time, college graduates, and authoritative in terms of the parents’ profile as to employment status, educational attainment, and parenting style. The extent of parental involvement is very involved, and most of the students can complete an average of five (5) learning tasks in Science. The result also showed that the extent of parental involvement is not dependent on the parents’ profile and the number of completed learning tasks by the students on their parents’ profile. However, the number of learning tasks completed by the students is dependent on the extent of parental involvement.

  Abstract
  The depletion of the human body’s minerals linked to activities of reactive oxygen species (ROS), necessitate the need for the intake of the mineral supplement. To alleviate the health impact of ROS, the study seeks to recommend the use of carboxymethyl chitosan-zinc (CMCC-zinc) as an alternate food thickening agent, thus this study evaluated the influence of zinc in carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCC) as an antioxidant enhancer against reactive oxygen species. Flavonoids, phenol, ferric reducing property (FRAP), 1, 1- diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl radical scavenging, and iron-reducing effect of CMCC and carboxymethyl chitosan -zinc (CMCC-zinc) were determined as an index of antioxidant. CMCC-zinc recorded 30.58 mg/g, 73.71 mg/g, 163.00 mg/g, 78.27%, 65.63% and 92.86% for flavonoids, phenol, FRAP, DPPH, Hydroxyl radical and iron (II) scavenger respectively against 22.33 mg/g, 26.33 mg/g, 87.11 mg/g, 73.54%, 48.44% and 90.48% respectively, for CMCC. Hydroxyl and amino functional groups are responsible for the antioxidant effect, but the presence of zinc boosts the antioxidant activity of CMCC-zinc. From the experimental results, CMCC and CMCC-zinc exhibited antioxidant potential. The higher antioxidant performance of CMCC-zinc can be linked to its zinc content. It can be inferred that the addition of CMCC-zinc as a food thickening agent would be better than the use of CMCC to help in reducing environmental stress and improve human health.

  Abstract
  Practice teaching is an integral part of the teacher-education curriculum to prepare student-teachers to become full-fledged teachers. Through this, students-teachers experience becoming true teachers. Not only is this important in the teacher-education program because of the first-hand experiences it provides to student-teachers, but it is also an excellent opportunity for them to apply what they have learned regarding their profession and their field of specialization. This study aimed to determine what problems practice-teachers face in their practicum during the pandemic. Moreover, this study sought to determine what opportunities practice-teachers have achieved or seen in continuing their internship even though they are in the midst of a new normal caused by the pandemic. In the light of the findings obtained, the identified challenges were an amalgamation of teaching-related and personal-related challenges. Since the respondents had to adapt and adopt the learning delivery modality of the university, actual teaching experiences were limited only to almost three hours out of the prescribed 18-week practice teaching duration. Hence, their knowledge of teaching essentials, including lesson planning, students` discipline management, and students` differences, was not reinforced. Also, this pandemic intensified personal-inherent challenges like allowances and stress management.

  Abstract
  Agricultural residue has great potential to offer domestic energy demand for rural community. Utilizing the residue as it is, does not fit to environmentally friend and not suitable to sustainable development scheme. Nevertheless, burning corn cob residue without change their nature to recover desirable heat considered as inefficient and insufficient. Because combustion of corn cob residual yields low heating value and density. Moreover, poor consumption of the residue subjective to respiratory infection disease. Therefore, converting the residue into useful energy resource is very imperative. To enhance the utilization, upgrading of the residue is most important. As a result, corn cob residue was carbonized, applying an improved carbonizer with very limited supply of air. On drum body, certain shacks were provided to follow up enhancement of carbonization process which by turn decrease carbonizing time. After corncob carbonization was completed, carbonized corncob was extracted from reactor over prepared floor to reduce temperature. Meanwhile products were carefully removed to minimize losses and screened to separate products. Hence charred and uncharred products were identified and organized as well as mass of broken & unbroken charred were separated and measured. Thus, mass of charred and uncharred was to be 109.3 and 15.7 kg respectively whereas mass of broken and unbroken became 4.6 & 104.7 kg respectively. Volume based conversion rate of improved carbonizer became 86.36 % whereas 56 % for the former carbonizer. Time acquired per batch for improved carbonize became 90 to 110 minutes whereas 3 to 4 hours depending on season & environment.

  Abstract
  Osteoporosis is one of the key public health problems from which more and more people within the world are suffering. About 200 million people are affected by osteoporosis nine million fractures annually are reported. Osteoporosis factures accounts for more hospitalization days thanks other disease like breast cancer, myocardial infraction diabetes and others. About 80% of the people with an osteoporotic facture are not assessed or treated for osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a worldwide problem facing both males and females in Pakistan its level is very high. In this research we known about osteoporosis. We must know the symptoms and factors which leads to this disease. We also know preventions and treatment of this disease. Awareness is essential about this disease. Its ratio is very high in women especially in eldery women. The present study was descriptive type in its nature and quantitative approach. A Sample of 200 Women was drawn using multiage cluster random sampling techniques and Pearson product moment correlation coefficient (r) was used to analyze data.

  Abstract
  Culture-based teaching materials stressed the significance of incorporating experience and culture into the school curriculum to maintain the area`s cultural groups` practices and traditions. A well-defined position that should encapsulate the creation of culturally relevant instructional materials with culture serving as the unifying factor that connects student relationships and learning. This endeavor can serve as a wake-up call for all science teachers, showing how culture can be an effective tool for increasing students` success on the lesson being taught. Tagbanua is home to a diverse range of economic activities, arts, celebrations, and sports, all of which may serve as a starting point for creating instructional materials for General Physics 1. These facets of Tagbanua activities can be integrated into General Physics 1 lessons using the Department of Education`s Most Essential Learning Competencies. Students can be provided with instructional materials such as activity sheets and worksheets. As a result, it is recommended that worksheets and activity sheets be developed and tested to determine their effectiveness in assisting students in learning Physics and fostering an appreciation for Tagbanua culture.

  Abstract
  The simultaneous rise of China and India has been creating significant re-orientation in the contemporary international system. Both the countries are trying to climb up in the global power hierarchy but for the first instance, they are competing with each other for the Pan-Asian leadership. As a result, their neighboring countries like Bangladesh and Myanmar are becoming hot spots for geostrategic power play between the two Asian powers. The Sino-Indian geostrategic competition intensified after 25 August 2017 when the military crackdown happened at the Rakhine state on Rohingya people. This paper explains the importance of the Rakhine state for China and India from a geostrategic perspective. Afterward, it illustrates the nature and dimensions of the response from New Delhi and Beijing on the 2017 Rohingya Refugee. This paper adopted a qualitative method and data was analyzed based on secondary data. The findings argue that there was a difference between the responses from India and China in this crisis. India claimed to remain neutral in the crisis and provided limited humanitarian and economic assistance to Bangladesh and Myanmar. This paper also reviews why China and India back Myanmar and the international response to this crisis. Finally, this paper concludes with Bangladesh’s challenges from the Sino-Indian geostrategic interests in the Rakhine state.

  Abstract
  Education is being positively and innovatively enhanced through technology to create new strategies of delivering academic information both online and face to face. Online, Distance and Blended learning are the modern strategies that are and going to impact teaching approaches in academic institutions, relatively through introducing e-learning platforms which are designed as models used to collect and analyze meaningful information online for assessing, analyzing and presenting data patterns taking place among learners. This study proposes an e-learning requirement that focuses on mining student educational data with aim of exploring the behavior of learning, interaction with the platform from data generated by students in an education environment. The data is collected from the event logs or scrapped csv files of student’s information for analysis to determine a model to extract their behavior and predictive patterns in an e-learning environment. The techniques applied in this study are decision tree decision making process of filtering content of data, cluster analysis performing the organization of pattern grouping in collections, and random forest for creating prediction model that closely provides accuracy of student’s success. Elliptic curve and SHA-256 cryptography method is applied to ensure security per the concerns of user confidentiality both for the instructors and student when performing authentication entries into the platform and during chat interactions. Mining of student’s data would help in projecting student’s performance and interaction activities, where the random forest technique surpasses logistic regression and support vector machine classification methods of machine learning predictions. With this approach learning institutions will be able to classify groups of learners with aim of analyzing and directing well informed decisions to help them improve in their learning sessions.
