This paper presents computational modeling to assess and limit the magnetic induction levels emitted by an extra-high-voltage (EHV) overhead transmission line of 750 kV using the fundamental principle of Biot-Savart law in magnetostatics. An optimization technique based on the grey wolf optimizer (GWO) algorithm is employed to determine the appropriate location of the passive and active loop conductors, and the associated parameters to shielding to achieve better compensation of magnetic induction in an interest zone. The resulting magnetic induction of the ultra high voltage (UHV) overhead power line exhibits a crest value of 27.78 μT at the middle of the right-of-way, which can be considered unacceptable by strict protection standards. Generally, the magnetic compensation loops optimally located under the phase conductors of the power transmission system reduce the magnetic induction levels along the transmission line corridor. The passive loop attenuates the maximum magnetic induction by a rate of 29.7%. Therefore, the performance of the active loop is better; it provides a greater reduction with a rate reaching 53.24%. The simulation results were tested with those derived by the elliptical polarization process. An excellent concordance was found, which made it possible to ensure the adopted method.

Artificial intelligence can be implemented in fields that related to environmental education by providing knowledge for taxonomy which recognize and identify plant species based on its features. The variety of plant species that inhabit in a certain area allows many plant species to be found that look similar so that difficult to distinguish and recognize a particular plant. Convolutional neural network (CNN) often used in object detection, you only look once (YOLO), one of CNN’s object detections, could identify object in real time and obtained good performance and accuracy in several researched. However, no studies have ever identified a plant from its flowers, leaves, and fruits. Therefore, the main object of this paper is identified types of plant with CNN (YOLOv8). The YOLOv8 model with 0.01 learning rate, 32 batch size, stochastic gradient descent (SGD) optimizer obtained highest precision of 69.62% and F1 score of 61.22%, recall of 54.73%, mAP50 and mAP50 – 90 on the training data of 57.61% and 42.49%.

This study examines the perceptions and lived experiences of employees at Romblon State University (RSU) in response to organizational change and the influence of academic leadership. A hermeneutic phenomenological approach was applied involving 12 purposively selected employees from different campuses and academic ranks. Data collection methods included semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs). Thematic analysis produced five themes: perceptions of change as a strategic necessity, areas identified for improvement, reactions to the rationalization plan, employee adaptation, and leadership’s central role in facilitating change. Findings point to both opportunities and challenges within institutional transformation, emphasizing the importance of effective communication, leadership engagement, and employee participation. Based on these results, the study proposes the framework consisting of resource optimization, adaptation, vision, enhancements, and the role of leadership to guide change processes (RAVER). The framework provides practical guidance for higher education leaders aiming to build a responsive and resilient organizational culture. This study contributes theoretical and practical insights by showing how phenomenological inquiry can enrich models of change management in Philippine higher education.

Migration processes in the world promote socio-cultural, environmental and economic changes. The migrant population commonly suffers from discrimination, xenophobia, and labor abuse, with the educational level being a very important incentive for the adequate adaptation of the migrant. Peru and Ecuador host close to two million migrants; therefore, we sought to identify the educational level, living conditions, environmental care, and labor conditions of the migrant population and the level of association between them. For this purpose, a descriptive, non-experimental, cross-sectional study was carried out using a 24-question questionnaire to 120 migrants over 18 years of age who voluntarily participated in the study. The results showed that 50% had a fair level of education, 35% had a poor level, and only 15% had a good level. A total of 56.67% had a poor standard of living, 33.33% a fair standard of living, and 10% a good standard of living. There were 96.67% reported a good level of care for the environment. The 57.5% have poor working conditions; 40.83% regular, and 1.67% good. The study concludes that a good educational level allows a better adaptation process; likewise, educational level was significantly associated with living and working conditions.

The rapid emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools like ChatGPT is reshaping educational practices, presenting both transformative opportunities and institutional challenges. This study offers a novel, integrative framework for understanding the adoption of GenAI tools in higher education by combining quantitative and qualitative analyses within a hybrid methodological design. Specifically, it is the first to incorporate the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (Fuzzy DEMATEL), and the extended technology acceptance model (ETAM) in a unified model of adoption, augmented by thematic analysis of user experiences. A stratified random sample of 1,297 participants—comprising 1,191 students and 105 faculty members from various departments—ensured proportional representation across the university. AHP was employed to prioritize key adoption criteria, Fuzzy DEMATEL uncovered the causal interdependencies among constructs, and ETAM validated the direct and indirect effects influencing behavioral intention. Thematic analysis provided contextual depth regarding institutional barriers and individual perceptions. Findings reveal that attitude toward GenAI and intention to use (IU) are the strongest drivers of adoption. Notably, university support (US) emerged as a central enabler, significantly influencing both awareness and perceived usefulness (PU). This study contributes a comprehensive and multi-method framework that educational institutions can use to ethically, effectively, and equitably integrate GenAI technologies into academic ecosystems.

This study proposes an Aquila optimization–based tilt acceleration derivative filter (AO-TADF) controller for robust regulation of blood glucose (BG) levels in patients with type-I diabetes mellitus (TIDM) using an artificial pancreas (AP). The primary objective is to develop a controller that ensures normo-glycemia (70–120 mg/dl) while enhancing stability, accuracy, and robustness under physiological uncertainties and external disturbances. The AO algorithm tunes the control gains of the TADF controller to minimize the integral time absolute error (ITAE), ensuring optimal insulin infusion in real time. The AO-TADF controller introduces a filtered structure to improve the dynamic response and noise rejection capability, effectively handling the nonlinear nature of glucose-insulin dynamics. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves a faster settling time (230 minutes), lower peak overshoot (3.9 mg/dl), and reduced noise (1%) compared to conventional proportional integral derivative (PID), fuzzy, sliding mode (SM), linear quadratic gaussian (LQG), and H∞ controllers. The closed-loop system achieves a stable glucose level of 81 mg/dl under varying meal and exercise disturbances, validating the superior performance and robustness of the AO-TADF approach.

The effectiveness of online tutoring systems largely depends on their ability to adapt to the individual needs of learners, to personalize learning activities, and to provide immediate and effective assessment and remediation. This effectiveness can only be ensured if accurate information is available regarding learners’ progress and learning profiles. In this article, we aim to propose a learner model tailored to the specificities of our academic support system, incorporating learning functions that enable personalized tutoring based on students’ needs. For this purpose, this study began with a literature review of existing learner models. We focused on five representative samples of the most widely used learner models in current learning systems: instructional management system-learner information package (IMS-LIP), public and private information for learners (PAPI), CARCHIOLO, knowledge on demand (KOD), and learner model for personalized adaptation (LMPA). We examined their characteristics and then compared them based on the following criteria: adaptability, user preferences, personalized learning, pedagogical requirements, assessment, and remediation, to evaluate their potential for integration into our system. The study revealed that these models present several limitations, which led us to propose a new learner model based on the PAPI and IMS-LIP standards. This proposal incorporates a semantic ontological structure that categorizes learner characteristics into six domains: preferences, pedagogy, administration, identification, learning, and assessment. The proposed model represents a promising solution for adapting learning processes to individual learner profiles, thereby fostering more effective and engaging educational experiences.

Josh Erick G. Albarico , Marcelina S. Deiparine
The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018 and 2022 results expose the alarming problem in the Philippines’ reading comprehension, a situation worsened by pandemic-related disruptions. This study investigates the specific reading comprehension skills where students struggle most and the factors contributing to these difficulties in a post-pandemic context. Using an explanatory sequential design, the researchers conducted reading assessments for the 30 grade 7 students, followed by interviews with 12 students and 5 teachers selected through purposive sampling. Descriptive statistics indicated that students faced the most challenges with inferential and critical-level skills, highlighting gaps in higher-order thinking. Thematic analysis identified contributing factors, including lack of reading engagement, lack of linguistic competence, remote learning repercussions, challenges from screen dependency, and environmental influences. These challenges highlight the long-term impact of the pandemic on reading development. To address this, the educational system must strengthen teacher training in reading instruction to promote active student engagement. Educators are encouraged to develop age- and interest-appropriate reading materials, use technology in reading instruction, and foster collaboration between schools, communities, and families. Targeted interventions are essential to rebuild and enhance students’ reading comprehension skills, ensuring they can meet the demands of higher-order thinking in a post-pandemic world.

This study investigated tertiary students’ perceptions regarding constructivist learning in the context of higher education in Vietnam. It aimed to examine the general perceptions of university students towards constructivist learning and the effects of constructivist learning on students’ learning outcomes. It also examined the conditions that make students more likely to embrace or resist these approaches. The study evaluated the engagement of students in problem-solving activities through the use of constructivist learning methods. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining both quantitative and qualitative data. Specifically, the study involved a survey of 384 students from Hanoi Law University, using a researcher-made Likert-scale questionnaire and semi-structured interviews of 20 students from the sample. While descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the quantitative data, the qualitative data were thematically analyzed for common themes and patterns. The results indicate that although the participants acknowledge the benefits of constructivist methods, particularly in fostering critical thinking and problem-solving, there is still uncertainty about their ability to engage in a self-directed learning approach. The findings suggest that while the constructivist approach has been recognized, practical efforts have not been made in teaching practices, teacher training, and assessment methods to create an interactive, student-centered learning environment in Vietnam.

Simulation and experimental validation of modular multilevel converters capable of producing arbitrary voltage levels using the space vector modulation method

10.11591/ijece.v15i6.pp5234-5248
Tran Hung Cuong , Pham Chi Hieu , Pham Viet Phuong
Modular multilevel converters (MMC) used forDC-AC energy conversion are becoming popular to connect distributed energy systems to the power systems. There are many modulation methods that can be applied to the MMC. The space vector modulation (SVM) method can produce a maximum number of levels, i.e., 2N+1, in which N is the number of sub- modules (SMs) per branch of the MMC. The SVM method can generate rules to apply to MMCs with any number of levels. The goal of this proposal is to easily expand the number of voltage levels of the MMC when necessary while still ensuring the quality requirements of the system. The proposed SVM method only selects the three nearest vectors to generate optimal transition states, therefore making the computations simpler and more efficient. This has reduced the computational load when compared to the previously applied SVM methods. This advantage ensures an optimal switching process and harmonic quality which will significantly improve the effectiveness of the proposed method was demonstrated through simulations on MATLAB/Simulink and experimental tests on 13-levels voltage MMC converter system using a 309 field-programmable gate array (FPGA) kit.

Understanding how young teachers cope with work concerns is crucial for improving teaching quality in Chinese private higher education. This study investigates the relationship between different stages of such concerns and teacher effectiveness of young lecturers in private universities. These lecturers often face workload pressure andlack of career supports, which may influence their effectiveness and professional development. This research involved 416 full-time lecturers under the age of 40 from Shandong Province. The sample was determined using Krejcie and Morgan’s formula and selected through a multi-stage sampling method. Private universities were stratified into four categories, one university from each category was purposively selected, and participants were randomly sampled. Data were gatheredthrough a structured questionnaire adapted from the stages of concern (SoC) and the school teacher effectiveness questionnaire (STEQ). Pearson correlation, multiple regression, and structural equation modeling (SEM) were conducted for analysis. The results show that task concerns and impact concerns significantly influenced teacher effectiveness across instructional planning and strategies, assessment, and learning environment. In contrast, self-concerns showed weaker influence. These findings suggest that work concerns reflect not only stress but also deeper professional motivation, pointing to the need for more purposeful supports to increase teacher effectiveness and career growth.

This study investigated the effectiveness of an online Quranic stories-based program in enhancing character strengths and resilience among primary school students. Using a randomized controlled design, 64 students (aged 11-13 years) from Housh Eissa School in Egypt were assigned to experimental (n=33) and control (n=31) groups. The intervention involved ten online sessions on five major Quranic civilizations, measuring character strengths and resilience using the validated 23-item character strengths test and ego-resiliency scale. Data were collected at three time points: pre-intervention, post-intervention, and two-month follow-up. The results demonstrated significant improvements in the experimental group across all 23-character strength dimensions (p<.01, partial η² ranging from .116 to .529) and resilience (F=34.245, partial η²=.529). Notable enhancements were observed in judgment (F=11.775, partial η²=.279), self-control (F=10.269, partial η²=.252), and beauty appreciation (F=10.824, partial η²=.262). These improvements were maintained during the follow-up period, with the experimental group consistently outperforming the control group. The study suggests that online Quranic stories-based interventions can effectively enhance character strengths and resilience in primary school students, demonstrating a promising approach for character education.
