SECURITY METHODS USED IN MALWARE (MALICIOUS) FILE AND DATA LOSES DETECTION [PDF]
ALABI O. A., UGWU C. AND ONYEJEGBU L.N

High performance computing is a growing industry of high-powered compute systems, built to calculate and run scripts most computer systems are incapable of, in run times fast enough to produce high-value and accurate data. This data is used by public and private sector industries worldwide. Given the high value of the output of these systems, this paper aims to review common security methods, attack purposes and types – and subsequently discuss how effective they will be in relation to HPC. Recent literature shows a growing number of attack vectors on traditional data centre systems, using a variety of methods and intentions of attackers. The efficacy of these methods differs when applied to a HPC instance – ranging from complete ineffectiveness to critical system failure, and high resultant cost. The recommendations involve a solution which apply relevant controls and security systems in an example implementation of HPC. An approach of layering reactive and proactive measures achieves a more secure environment, targeted at subsections of the HPC respectively. This considers the requirements of the HPC system to complete tasks with efficiency and without interruption and allows users the minimum required access.

INSIGHTS OF TEACHERS AND HOME LEARNINGFACILITATORS ON READING SKILLS OF LEARNERS DURING DISTANCE LEARNING [PDF]
PERLITA LLARENA- FEDERIO DANILO ESTIPONA DESPI

Abstract. The Division of Sorsogon City aims to eliminate non-readers and frustration level readers through different reading programs. This qualitative research evaluated the insights of teachers and home learning facilitators in improving the reading skills of learners using modular instruction during the Covid 19 pandemic. It revealed that most of the reading skills were poorly developed, and that teachers had limited time to visit their learners. Different strategies and activities were employed to develop the reading skills, such as modelling, segmenting and syllabicating, matching pictures with its names, unlocking of unfamiliar words, telling something about the picture, translating the unfamiliar words, asking comprehension questions, retelling the story, summarizing the story and other related activities. Teachers and home learning facilitators encountered difficulties in developing the reading skills of learners during distance learning, such as bad attitude, poor retention, limited attention, and cheating.

THE EXPERIENCES AND CHALLENGES OF TEACHERS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DISTANCE LEARNING EDUCATION [PDF]
JONATHAN LAURENIANA, DANILO E. DESPI

The study employed qualitative research, particularly phenomenological study. The experiences of teachers in the implementation of distance learning education focused on making learning convenient, producing MELC-based instruction learning materials, and using available technology in the teaching-learning process. The teachers also fostered a reward system and assessed the learning outcomes for various reasons. The preferred teaching modalities were technology-based, offered diverse and flexible learning, and encouraged independent studies, insight, and skills development. The teachers' reaction to distance learning education and assessment of the learning outcome depended on their ability to adapt to changes. Distance learning education has many challenges, such as a lack of interaction and communication between learners and teachers, physical, mental, and emotional struggles, low-quality learning materials, unreliable and invalid assessment tools, and delayed feedback. To address these challenges, teachers have opted for professional development through online webinars and training and provided quality assurance for LAS/modules before production and distribution. The findings of this study suggest that teachers in distance learning education experience making learning convenient, creative, and innovative course content, rewarding learners for their accomplishments, and assessing learners for learning purposes. They also believe that being proactive and embracing distance education wholeheartedly is a focal solution to these challenges. Innovative learning activities can be proposed based on this study. Challenges encountered by teachers include physical and mental struggles, lack of interaction, poor quality of learning materials, and the professional and personal capacity of the teachers.

Female Care Leavers’ Aftercare Experiences and Coping Strategies: A Review of Related Literature [PDF]
Saliwe Nkomo1*, Ngonidzashe Mutanana (Ph.D.), 2 Unice Goshomi3

Abstract Background: The development of young people in care into self-reliant and self-sufficient individuals is crucial not only for their transition into independence, but also as a fulfillment of their rights, and also for the sustainable development of their communities and the nation at large. Yet, upon release from residential care institutions, female care leavers face a plethora of problems. The problems they face suggest that they may not have been assisted in such a way that enables them to make the smooth transition from care to independent living. They are at risk of lifelong poverty, poor health, and chronic social exclusion. Yet, a gap still exists in the current literature on the aftercare experiences and coping strategies of female care leavers out of care in Zimbabwe. Knowledge of their aftercare experiences is crucial for the evaluation and review of existing child policies especially on leaving care. The review, therefore, sought to shed light on existing literature on female care leavers’ aftercare experiences in independent adult life and their responses to the faced circumstances from a global perspective. Methods: A traditional narrative review of existing literature and previous studies were carried out to identify what has been documented regarding female care leavers after experiences and their coping strategies. Eligible for review were expert opinions and studies on care leaving written in English. Non-English articles and studies carried out within institutions were excluded. Identified search words were also used to identify studies on care leaving experiences and survival strategies. Results: Major issues that came out were care leavers’ preparedness, care leaving outcomes, resilience, family and sociocultural networks, and care leavers’ coping strategies. The review also unearthed methodological, theoretical, and contextual gaps in the literature on female care leavers’ experiences and their survival strategies. Previous studies carried out on care leaving were mainly surveys and phenomenological in nature. Moreover, the field is dominated by old theories. Critically, there is limited documentation regarding this subject, and no study has been done specifically in Zimbabwe regarding this issue. Conclusions: In light of the review, the time is now ripe for a constructive grounded theory study to be carried out in Zimbabwe to explore female care leavers’ care experiences and survival strategies. Key Terms: Leaving Care, Aftercare Experiences, Female Care Leavers, Survival Strategies, Outcomes.

LEADERSHIP CAPITAL OF SCHOOL PRINCIPALS AS INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERS: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL ANALYSIS [PDF]
JANETTE BELARMINO-BUBAN, DANILO E. DESPI

Responses of the school head participants on this qualitative research study employing phenomenological analysis pointed out that training, experience, awareness of the different DepEd Memoranda and Orders, as well as good human relationship assisted them in their performance of instructional leadership along a class observation. In the monitoring of instructions, they believed that data gathering and ensuring the validity and reliability of the data, technical assistance from colleagues and superiors, and good relationship with co-teachers, are the principals’ leadership capital. The perceived experience, seminars attended, updated knowledge through readings, support of the personnel and higher offices, and their attitude towards their co-workers were important aspects that helped them in their actual performance of other instructional supervisory activities. During class observations, principals employed face-to-face or actual observations conducted Learning Action Cell Sessions and applied clinical supervision which considered the length of service of teachers. During class observations, principals evaluated teacher effectiveness, made a plan of intervention, appreciated teachers’ efforts, and gave sound feedback. During the monitoring of instructions, principals gave feedback, conducted classroom visits, and regular monitoring of lesson logs and other reports. In their performance of other instructional supervisory roles, principals enhanced teachers’ performance by working closely with them, delegating minor instructional duties, and listening to the voice of the teachers, pupils, parents, and other stakeholders. During the provision of technical assistance, principals facilitated teachers’ performance by having open communication, allowing teachers to self-reflect, and using gathered data. Gaps that school heads noted in the performance of their instructional duties pointed out to provision of technical assistance. Issues that came out of the principals’ responses were their professional development, the negative notion of teachers as regards instructional supervision, and time management due to so many reports that needed to be made.

THE AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCES OF GRADE THREE LEARNERS IN USING LEARNING RESOURCE MATERIALS [PDF]
ELMA DUAZO-SIY, DANILO E. DESPI

The purpose of this study was to establish truth based on the lived experiences of parents and teachers involved in the implementation of modular distance learning. The social construction of reality in the modular education setup was interpreted explicitly based on the responses of the parents and teachers. The grade 3 learners tend to answer the easy activities first before going to the difficult tasks, which in many cases they do not complete anymore. The learners prefer stories with pictures. The learners can accomplish the tasks with the help and support of their parents. The learners do not like texts that are very long. Module writers might not have considered the attention span and interest of the learners when they were crafting the modules. They added that the learning activities should be contextualized and simplified and that teachers should be able to assess the actual learning progress of the learners and not just rely on the scores in the activities. The learners complain about the difficulty and bulk of the activities to be accomplished. To be able to complete the tasks, particularly those with long texts to be read, the learners would have to go over the text again and again. The learners would ask for the assistance of their parents in answering the modules. Considering that many learners tend to show low interest in schoolwork, the parents must be able to motivate them and not resort to answering the modules themselves. The interest of learners is one major factor in the effectiveness of modular learning delivery or any other modalities for that matter. Decades of research in the field of educational psychology suggest that motivation is developmentally linked to the academic achievement of learners. Many parents expressed that their children have a short attention span and would easily give up on the outputs. Both teachers and parents have observed that there are lapses in the modules or learning resource materials distributed in schools. The modules, as learning materials, provide the learning opportunities learners are missing from not being able to go to school. In some cases, the parents finish the activities themselves so the modules can be submitted to the teachers with complete outputs.

LIVED EXPERIENCES OF TEACHERS ON BLENDED LEARNING AS A MODALITY OF INSTRUCTION DURING THE PANDEMIC [PDF]
Junel Guantero , Danilo Despi

Blended learning is an approach that combines face-to-face classes with one or more distance learning modalities. The Department of Education has strengthened its strategies in the delivery of learning instructions via online, TV-based, and Radio-based instructions. The participants in this research are public teachers in the Sorsogon Province Division. Issues and gaps in the implementation of the blended learning modality were identified and used as the basis for proposed procedural interventions. Teachers are positive about the need to implement blended learning due to the pandemic, but there are gaps in the implementation due to learners' low interest and lack of knowledge and skills. Procedural interventions targeting these specific factors may be proposed to better the implementation of blended learning. Keywords: Blended Learning, Modality of Instruction,

TEACHERS’ PRACTICES AND ISSUES ON BLENDED LEARNING DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC [PDF]
SHIRLEY LELIS – ESTADOLA, DANILO E. DESPI

This phenomenological research explored the lived experiences of teachers in the implementation of blended learning in the Gubat South District Teachers developed learning activity sheets suited to the grade level of the learners. Some teachers conducted home visits to personally give the materials to the learners. Most teachers used the modular approach because it was more practical, particularly for learners who do not have gadgets or have no access to the internet. Teachers whose learners had access to gadgets and the internet conducted online classes Although teachers were able to quickly adapt to the blended learning modality, the lack of facilities, equipment, and materials made it very difficult to implement the learning plans in the new normal. First, the modular approach is not very effective for very young learners. Fourth, the ICT literacy level of teachers highly affects their effectiveness as learning facilitators. Practices of teachers in the blended learning modality involve using activity sheets and modules to facilitate the learning instructions and using technology in developing supplemental learning materials as well as in monitoring learners’ academic progress.

TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVES ON EMPLOYING VARIOUS TEACHING MODALITIES [PDF]
VANGIE ESTUR – BACLAO, DANILO E. DESPI

This qualitative research established the reality behind the present situation of Balogo Elementary School in terms of learning delivery by looking into the experiences of teachers who are implementers of the learning recovery plan (LRP) at the classroom level. The researcher interpreted the experiences of the participants to establish the realities behind the implementation of the plan and proposed an intervention to further enhance the school's effort in addressing the learning gaps among pupils particularly in reading and numeracy. This research adopted the phenomenological approach which focuses on understanding the meanings of human experience as it is lived. It conducted interviews with 20 teacher participants to assess their perceptions and experiences in the implementation of the learning recovery plan of DepEd. The findings showed that the modular approach as an alternative learning delivery modality was not effective in developing target competencies among learners and that the crafting of the materials was rushed without proper quality assurance. Modules must be effectively crafted to contain high-quality information presented in a way that is understandable to learners and activities that are engaging enough to sustain interest. The modular approach was ineffective in facilitating learning during the pandemic, as the learners did not master the target competencies and the learning materials were inappropriate for the level of the learners. Teachers need assistance in terms of effective supervision to guide them in carrying out lessons and assessment strategies. The pandemic has caused stagnation if not regression among learners' learning skills, particularly in the earliest grades, with a gap of 30% in reading fluency and oral reading fluency stopping in the first to the second quarter of 2020. Teachers are concerned that learners have not mastered basic numeracy skills and have not been able to effectively learn from modular instructions. KEYWORDS: Learning gaps, Learning recovery

Compensating Vessel-Source and Pipelines Oil Pollution to Mitigate Environmental Pollution [PDF]
Rachael Eben

The paper seeks to investigate if the compensation schemes within the Nigerian oil landscape have the mettle necessary to effectively compensate victims and engage the powerful concerns of multinational oil companies in the country against the backdrop of persistent oil spills. Notably, there is no absence of legislation to prosecute oil spill accidents, judging from the plethora of regimes available to protect and preserve the environment, restore damaged areas and compensate victims of oil spills. However, in view of deficiencies with some of the regimes, and the general apathy of the judiciary to implement the provisions to the letter; the suspicion of collusion between some judicial officials and multinational companies is rive. Thus, the Oil in Navigable Waters Act, 1968 which is based on OILPOL, 1954 will be best served if it were amended to reflect the current dynamics in the oil transportation industry. Moreover, shortcomings within the Petroleum Act, 1969 with regards to oil spill compensation, limitation of liability and sanctions are examined in order to ascertain some of the excesses of oil companies’ complacent practices in the country. In addition, the Oil Pipelines Act, 1956 gives room for oil companies to launch the ‘sabotage defense’ which they have successfully used to win cases against impoverished oil spill victims whose livelihoods have been negatively impacted by years of oil spill and pollution. Moreover, the incorporation of provisions of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights,1981 (Banjul Convention) into the Nigerian domestic landscape constitutes the generation of legislation which was, hitherto, non-existent, in order to foster environmental safety. Therefore, the paper questions whether the devious practices of some in the judiciary that berefts oil spill victims of their rights to compensation could benefit or harm the environment.

Experiencing Speech Anxiety at Tertiary Level [PDF]
Mohamed Abdalla Ibrahim and Prof: Gubara M. Alhassan

It is generally observed that Students at tertiary level need to use English for their academic purposes. Most of the books are in English and some of the subjects are taught in English. Moreover, the use of English language as the medium of instruction in class requires students to be proficient in English. Despite having learned English for 7 years in schools, students still have difficulty to use the language effectively. Most of the students have problems in speaking foreign languages especially in the English class. It can be more stressful when they are expected to speak in English before the fluency is achieved.

Jennifer D. Cordinete, Danilo E. Despi

. Principals consider school management competencies, the nature of learners, the local setting of the school, human resources, and resources of the school as factors in managing the operation of the school. To improve the quality of education, it investigated the welfare and development of its human resources and collaborate with stakeholders and the community to effectively manage the school. Educational supervision is the process of guiding and leading the teachers and students in performing their duties and functions in ensuring that the school operates efficiently. The purpose of educational supervision is to empower teachers to provide meaningful learning experiences for students. Principals apply a systematic approach to educational supervision to improve the quality of instruction and monitor the teaching-learning process. They consider teamwork, collaboration, and shared governance as ways to effectively manage the operation of the school. They consider the differences, capabilities, and willingness of the teachers and provide technical assistance in a consultative, democratic, and informed decision. Effective academic supervision should begin with good planning and effective school principals make the program a joint program of academic supervision which begins with a comprehensive needs assessment conducted jointly with the teachers. Educational management and supervision are essential for effective school operation, combining projects, programs, programs, and activities, technical assistance, resource planning, and curriculum implementation. To improve the quality of education, principals should bring stakeholders together, get their support, and act with them to implement programs, projects, and activities that will the school, especially in times of pandemic. The principal and school personnel should properly utilize school resources and see to it that learners benefit from them. Partnerships can serve to strengthen, support, and transform individual partners, resulting in improved program quality, more efficient use of resources, and better alignment of goals and curricula. School administrators should support the professional development needs of teachers and intensify the ranking and promotion program to attract more qualified teachers. There should be continuous improvement of the management and supervisory skills of the principal to ensure the delivery of quality and relevant instruction. Educational supervision is a highly dynamic task, and it is a great challenge for principals to continuously improve their skills and provide timely and relevant technical support to the school personnel both teaching and non-teaching.
