Procrastination and Individual Study Method of Students with Specific Learning Difficulties [SpLDs] In Reading Comprehension | Author : Maria Drossinou Korea | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Procrastination is mainly defined by cognitive factors and significantly affects the performance of students with specific learning difficulties [SpLDs]. The individual method of study seems to be influenced by other factors, such as cognitive- emotional abilities and learning motivation. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between procrastination and the individual method of study, with emphasis on the comprehension of academic texts using the pedagogical tool. The use is according with the principles of Targeted Individual Structured Differentiated integration program for teaching students with specific learning difficulties [TISDPfSpLDs]. The participants N=411 undergraduate students come from the departments of the School of Humanities and Cultural Studies of the University of Peloponnese [Kalamata] and from the departments of the Agricultural University of Athens [AUA]. The results showed that procrastination is part of the reading behaviors in reading comprehension with which students [SpLDs] are familiar in their individual study method. The conclusions highlight the beneficial effects of training on metacognitive skills using the TISDPfSpLDs, because they help control emotional and academic procrastination.

| Harnessing the Digitalization for Societys Sustainable Development: A Call for Shared Theoretical Conversation about (DESI) and the Development of Arab Nations | Author : HAKKOU Dounia, Professor El ABJANI Abdelaziz | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The use of technologies and digital devices impose technical advancement to every country. Today, where everything in the world is about the "e", we may assume that the digitalization has spread its wings over all the spheres of life. Therefore, the socioeconomic growth parameters depend on the revolution of digitalization. This one has open new ways for developing the function of public services domain in interaction with community. Accordingly, societies are highly empowered by the use of "the need of now" built more connected and conscious comparatively to less digitalized countries. In fact, the digitalization seems to be the most significant feature to lead towards sustainable development. Which highlight the concept of " inclusive growth and economy" along its four major pillars «economy », « living conditions », « equality » and « environment ». That being the case, this paper aims to highlight up front the steps for digitalization to be held in a country considering its implementing conditions. Then, comparing the societies competitiveness level using the (Global Competitiveness Index) throughout shortcomings and good practices included in sustainable development concrete measures. After that, examining the (Digital Economy and Society Index) methodology in (EU countries) throughout its components (Economic, social and environmental) and discussing its possible implementation abroad under the lights of Hofsteds cultural performance dimensions. Subsequently, developing countries are under the scope for their citizens under the wall of poverty, unemployment and illiteracy building a strong bridge of connectivity with the nation. So that the metamorphosis from tremendous economic growth to prosperous nation be insured. All of that to make the world a better place.

| Dynamic Interaction of Coconut Oil and Crude Oil Prices: Insights from a Vector Error Correction Model | Author : Vicente E. Montaño, Rowena C. Cinco | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Understanding the relationship between commodity prices is paramount for investors, policymakers, and industries reliant on these markets. This study delves into the intricate dynamics between coconut oil and crude oil prices using a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The VECM approach allows for exploring these commodities short-term adjustments and long-term equilibrium relationships. The analysis reveals that while there may not be a strong long-term interdependence between coconut oil and crude oil prices, robust short-term adjustment mechanisms exist. The cointegration rank two (2) highlights the presence of two cointegrating vectors, indicating a stable equilibrium relationship. The alpha and beta coefficients shed light on the speed and direction of adjustments, emphasizing how the system corrects deviations from the equilibrium relationship. Various model selection criteria, including the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), validate the VECMs efficacy in capturing the complexities of these markets while maintaining model simplicity. Moreover, significant error correction terms emphasize the systems self-correcting nature, ensuring long-term stability. Interpreting the coefficients of the lagged terms reveals short-term dynamics, showcasing how coconut oil and crude oil prices mutually influence and respond to changes in one another. The absence of significant autocorrelation in the models residuals validates the models accuracy in capturing underlying dynamics.

| Action Research on The Effectiveness of Education in Emergency (EIE) online teaching and learning: Perception of parents at primary school level | Author : Kinley Wangmo, Chhimi Lhamo, Tshering Choden, Nima Dorji | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Online learning has been implemented in the primary schools in the times of lockdown due to Covid 19. It had dramatically changed the learning process and the manner of delivery of lesson by the teachers. This style of learning was experienced by the students in government primary schools in Bhutan for the first time under compulsion. With the lack of technologies and knowledge by both parents and students, it was challenging to cope with learning. For this reason the aim of this study was to investigate the parent’s perception of online learning in respect to diverse background, flexibility and acceptability. There are 185 parents of Wangdue Pry School student who were randomly selected for this study. Quantitative questionnaires were used to collect data and analyzed. The study has shown that EIE online learning was effective if parents and learners both collaborate and if the resources are abundant. There was positive illustration to different variables of diverse background, flexibility, accessibility and time and resources to EIE online learning. The study concluded that primary schools can also implement EIE online learning with proper direction and clear instruction from the teachers if there is another lockdown due to pandemic.

| Application of Lotka-Volterras Predator – Prey Model in the Solution of Herdsmen – Farmers Crisis in Nigeria | Author : Prof. Agbeboh goddy ujagbe | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Social Scientists and Statisticians can possibly investigate the causes and proffer solutions to population phenomena such as the crisis between farmers and Herders in Nigeria by use of statistical data and modern statistical tools, but looking at the same problem mathematically becomes very difficult. To this end logistic models can be formulated to handle the problem mathematically. Therefore, this research focuses on solving the problem by developing a population model that assigns parameters to the species involved and formulating a model reducible to differential equations. This was done by employing Lotka-Volterras predator – prey model to determine the equilibrium point at which both the farms and Herders will operate in peace.

| Pursuing Stem Careers: Challenges of Senior High School Students during Distance Learning | Author : Ace Mark R. Antipolo, Ryan B. Antonio, Tisha Mae L. Rabor, Jet Lee U. Teolo, Gladys M. Lacuesta, Sheryl F. Estrella | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The COVID-19 pandemic required the educational sector to implement countermeasures in order to continue educating students amidst the pandemic, this may have resulted in a gap in the number of people entering the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) field. This study determined the challenges of senior high school students in learning in STEM through distance learning. The respondents were 85 Grade 12 STEM students from the six (6) selected public and private educational institutions in the province of Zambales who were chosen through stratified random sampling. Results revealed that STEM 12 students often encountered challenges in terms of Learning Environment (LEC), Student Isolation (SIC), and Workload, simultaneously, it was noted that they sometimes encountered challenges in terms of Self-Regulation (SRC), Technological Sufficiency (TSC), and Technological Literacy and Competency (TLCC).Statistically significant differences were noted on the challenges encountered by Senior High School Students during distance learning in terms of school and age, but there were no significant differences that were noted regarding the other profile variables. The study suggests that the education sector should create program interventions to address the challenges such as curriculum development, to encourage or institutionalize special training courses in mathematics and science, and to develop learning continuity plans to empower teachers and students.
