  Abstract
  This paper tries to explore the impact of Covid-19 on the profitability of the banking sector on the economy of Bangladesh. To explore the impact this paper using several econometric techniques like Panel Least Squares (PLS) model, Descriptive statistics correlation analysis, VAR model, and impulse response function using annual data for the timeframe of 2015-2021. By using PLS model, this study explores positive relationship among EPS and ROE, NIM and stock price of some blue-chip banks of the banking sector. On the contrary, this study explores inverse relationship among EPS and ROA, P/E and CI. VAR estimation table depicts, EPS is significant to predict EPS, ROA, ROE, NIM, P/E in long run at one period lag. Impulse Response Function indicates that an innovation to any of the independent variable would have an impact on the EPS of the banking sector. In addition, this is the first triumph to analyze the pre, during and post impact of Covid-19 on the profitability of the banking sector on the economy of Bangladesh which will help the policy makers of the banking sector of Bangladesh to use this research in crisis moment.

  Abstract
  The study aims to assess the level of adoption of lean construction techniques in the United Kingdom construction industry. The following objectives were addressed in the study: examine the extent to which the various methods of implementing lean construction are known and used; identify the benefits and barriers associated with the adaptation of the concept; and finally, propose measures for sustainable building using lean construction. To do this, the research philosophy adopted for the study is realism and interpretivism. The population of the study was drawn from the database of the UK`s 50 top construction firms’ directory, which consists of construction professionals in the West Midlands. Both primary and secondary sources of data collection were adopted. A closed-ended questionnaire was adopted for the study using an online method. The data collected was analyzed using both descriptive and relative important index (RII) analysis. The study revealed a high percentage of awareness in all the variables adopted, however, four of the techniques adopted have been fully implemented. This implies that the construction industry recognizes the importance of lean construction in achieving the organization`s goals and sustainability. The study shows that cost reduction was ranked as the overall benefit with a mean value of 4.4, followed by client expectations with a mean value of 4.2. The study also identified five main barriers affecting the implementation of the concept in the sector within the study area. The study recommends that short training programs be made available to all departments in the construction sector.

  Abstract
  Portfolio management is a precursor for the investment process to be a success. It not only helps investors have a deeper understanding on how to minimize investment risks but it equips them with the knowledge to maximize returns. Mutual funds usually specialize in investment management; however, little is known about portfolio management and performance of mutual funds after post-Covid-19 era in Kenya. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of portfolio management on performance of Mutual Funds in Kenya. The study adopted ex-post facto research design and positivism research philosophy. The study targeted 14 respondents drawn from 4 mutual funds which include; Cytonn Money Market Fund, CIC Money Market, Zimele Market Fund and Britam Money Market Fund. The study adopted both primary data and secondary data. Primary data was collected using questionnaires while secondary data was collected using secondary data collection sheet. Data collected was analyzed using both descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The descriptive statistics adopted included percentages, frequencies, mean and standard deviation. Inferential statistics adopted included; correlation analysis and regression analysis. Correlation results revealed that portfolio management has a significant strong positive relationship with performance of mutual funds of (r = 0.728, p-value < 0.05). Regression results revealed that portfolio management has a positive and significant effect on performance of mutual funds of (?=0.353, p < 0.05). The study concluded that portfolio management enhances the performance of mutual funds. Performance of mutual funds is affected when mutual funds invest in short to medium term high-risk investments. Short selling overvalued stocks affects performance of mutual funds. The study recommended that mutual funds should only adopt portfolio management approaches that enhance the performance of mutual funds.

  Abstract
  This quasi-experimental research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Flip Classroom instruction in enhancing English language learning among Grade 9 students at Lino P. Bernardo National High School. The study utilized a pre-test/post-test design and was conducted over a period of two weeks, involving the Grade 9 Pearl students as participants. The pre-test consisted of 20 items covering topics such as viewing and its stages, elements of communication, communication artifacts, facts vs. opinion, and text-theme. The post-test was identical to the pre-test, but with item shuffling. Prior to the implementation of the study, necessary permissions were obtained from the school principal, class adviser, parents, and students. The proposed strategy, Flip Classroom teaching, was implemented for ten days. A pre-test was administered before the implementation, and a post-test was conducted following the ten-day intervention. The results indicated a significant difference in the pre-test and post-test performance of the participants, suggesting the effectiveness of the Flip Classroom method in teaching English. The findings of this study contribute to the growing body of research supporting the use of Flip Classroom instruction for language learning, specifically among Grade 9 students at Lino P. Bernardo National High School. The implications of this study suggest that educators and policymakers should consider integrating Flip Classroom approaches into English language instruction to enhance student learning outcomes.

  Abstract
  Stroke disease is a cardiovascular disease that when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted, causing a part of the brain to die. This study aims to design and develop a predictive model from clinical records to predict Stroke Disease using machine learning techniques to achieve the proposed objectives we collected datasets from local Hospitals. This study applied five supervised machine learning classifier algorithms namely, Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Decision Tree, and Naïve Bayes along with univariate feature selection. Finally, the results of the study show that RF scored a prediction accuracy of 97.88% with an AUC of 99.43%, and DT scored a prediction accuracy of 96% with an AUC score of 96.%. The other model is the support vector machine which scored a prediction accuracy of 92.6 % with an AUC score of 96.9 %. Logistic regression scored a prediction accuracy of 84.77% with an AUC score of 91 % and the last model is Naïve Bayes which scored a prediction accuracy of 90.43%, with AUC 95.9%. The experiment revealed that Random Forest and Decision Tree classifiers are the most promising for stroke disease prediction in their performance.

  Abstract
  This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of storyboards in improving the understanding of Philippine literature among 7th-grade students. The quantitative-descriptive design was employed, and the study was conducted at Irenea Integrated School with a class of Grade 7 students consisting of 10 girls and 11 boys. The data were collected through a pretest and a posttest, with the proposed strategy being the use of storyboards. The results were analyzed using a one-tailed t-test. The findings revealed a significant increase in the average posttest score (6.83) compared to the average pretest score (2.94), indicating the success of the storyboard approach in enhancing the understanding of Philippine literature among Grade 7 students at Irenea Integrated School.

  Abstract
  Current times are shaping a new type of reality. In order to keep up with the requirements of a normal life and stay safe from the coronavirus, people are making more and more use of online communication, digitally travelling across space and time. This form of leaving one’s town or homeland temporarily while using online platforms could be called virtual migration and mobility and could be accompanied by the need to translate as a means of direct and indirect communication. Another example of virtual travelling connected to translation comes from the literary works of writers with hybrid identities, like Kazuo Ishiguro, a British author of Japanese origins. The present paper analyses the relation between translation and virtual migration and mobility from an interdisciplinary perspective, as it results from the theories on natural and directional equivalence, Kazuo Ishiguro’s narrative techniques and the contemporary direction towards more fluid geographies for the multitude.
