In the Philippines, many schools whether private or public are now practicing Inclusive Education because it is what the law mandates. Teachers, school administrators and parents are obliged to follow this education, and it brings so many challenges in terms of how to handle them, what strategy will get to work to LVI for the attainment desirable growth and development. For this purpose, this study examined the teachers’ experiences in handling Learners with Visual impairments leading to its main output of producing a proposed intervention program. With this, a qualitative research design was utilized to investigate the experiences of the participants regarding their challenges in handling learners with visual impairment who are integrated in the regular classes. The researcher used a semi-structured interview and focused group discussion to gather data. Then, the data were analyzed thematically which were preset in relation to research questions. The researcher found out that the teachers’ challenges in handling LVI are instructional resources, unmotivated students, limited teaching strategies, unsuitable activities for LVI and the lack of knowledge and trainings of teachers in Science, Mathematics, MAPEH and TLE. Also, they have mixed feelings of empathy, concern, worries, happiness, and unhappiness and feeling of surprise for having LVI in their classes and at the same time they are saying that the presence of LVI in their class is a source of inspiration and motivation that personally affected them positively. Seemingly, their philosophy and commitment to oath led the teachers to the desire to handle learners with visual impairments.

Abstract

The application of computational methods in the development of antineoplastic drugs represents a significant advancement in oncology, offering a robust approach to accelerate drug discovery and improve therapeutic outcomes. Computational techniques such as molecular modeling, virtual screening, and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis are pivotal in identifying potential anticancer agents with enhanced precision and efficiency. These methods allow for the simulation of drug interactions at the molecular level, providing insights into binding affinities and mechanisms of action that are crucial for optimizing drug design. Molecular docking and dynamics simulations facilitate the prediction of how small molecules interact with cancer-related targets, thereby streamlining the identification of promising drug candidates. Virtual screening, leveraging large chemical libraries, expedites the process of pinpointing compounds with desirable biological activities. QSAR models, on the other hand, enable the correlation of chemical structure with biological activity, guiding the rational modification of lead compounds to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity. Furthermore, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) have emerged as revolutionary tools in this field, providing data-driven approaches to predicting drug behaviour and discovering new drugs if targeted these technologies use big data to uncover patterns and develop predictive models to refine the product development pipeline. The incorporation of computational methods into anticancer drugs not only accelerates the process but also improves the accuracy of drug design, ultimately leading to effective and safe cancer treatment this interdisciplinary approach promises to revolutionize cancer, providing a foundation for the next generation of anti-cancer agents.

Abstract

Flexible pavement is a widely used type of road construction that offers several advantages over other pavement types. Pavements are required for the smooth, safe and systematic passage of traffic. Pavements are generally classified as flexible and rigid pavements. Flexible pavements are those which have low flexural strength and are flexible in their structural action under loads. Rigid pavements are those which possess noteworthy flexural strength and flexural rigidity. The profound development in the automobile technology has resulted heavy moving loads on the existing highways for optimization of the transport cost. The existing roads which are designed based on the thumb rules are not able to cater to the heavy wheel loads resulting in the deterioration of the existing roads. In the project report, an attempt is made to design a road, based on the principles of pavement design. On the existing alignment of the road, soil samples are collected for the determination of soil characteristics like consistency limits, sieve analysis, C.B.R. values etc.., Based on this the thickness of the pavement (flexible) is designed. The alignment of the road is also designed and fixed by surveying and leveling. The total road length being 497 meters of which, one section is 247m, other is 200m and the third section is 50m.

Structural Engineers greatest challenge in today’s scenario is constructing seismic resistant structure. The challenge further increases due to increased eye pleasing high rise structures with architectural problems. These architecturally pleasing structures with shape irregularity, when subjected to devastating earthquake are a matter of concern. The behavior of a building during earthquakes depends critically on its overall shape, size and geometry, in addition to how the earthquake forces are carried to the ground. ABC Engineering college building is used for the case study. A detailed study of this building for gravity loads and earthquake loads are analyzed and results like shear, moment carrying capacity and reinforcements required are compared. For the gravity load case a suitable method of retrofitting is recommended if it is below performance level. With better understanding of seismic demand on structures and with our recent experiences with large earthquakes near urban centers, the need of seismic retrofitting is well acknowledged.

High-immersion virtual reality (VR) technology, commonly linked to gaming, is gaining popularity in educational settings. Recognized for its potential to engage and motivate learners, the acceptance or resistance toward VR warrants exploration before its integration into classrooms. This study presents findings from a focussed survey conducted with 20 teachers, investigating their attitudes towards VR utilization in education. The study explores the connections between teachers' levels of VR integration, instructional methodologies, and the frequency of VR usage. Additionally, the survey examines the association between the availability of information technology (IT) personnel and the frequency of VR application. In summary, the teachers at Indus International School generally expressed moderately positive perceptions of using VR in education. Although no robust correlation emerged between instructional approaches and the level of VR integration, lower levels of VR integration were linked to more traditional teaching methods. The results disclosed a positive correlation between the degree of VR integration and the frequency of VR use, with VR frequency exhibiting a weak correlation with the availability of IT personnel.

BACKGROUND Low back pain has been investigated epidemiologically for many years and its incidence in different occupations has been studied. There are well-established clinical guidelines for the management of low back pain but these provide limited guidance on occupational aspects. Occupations that require prolonged periods of standing have been associated with increased reports of musculoskeletal disorders including low back pain. Previous work has utilized a prospective design of functionally inducing low back pain in previously asymptomatic individuals during a prolonged standing task. Increased trunk and gluteus mediums muscle co-activation has been found in previously asymptomatic individuals who developed pain during standing compared with individuals who did not develop pain.

Abstract

The research is done to study the relationship between bullying, aggression, and emotional competence. Bullying refers to unwelcome, violent behaviour displayed by school-age children that incorporates a real or imagined power disparity. Aggression is a general term for a variety of actions that might hurt you, other people, or inanimate things in the environment physically or psychologically. A person's bodily or emotional harm to another is at the heart of aggression. Emotional competence is a person's ability to express or release their feelings. It suggests a comfort with emotions, which leads to emotionally competent people being unconcerned with other people's emotions. The hypothesis for the study is 1. Adolescents who engage in bullying behaviour will show higher levels of aggression compared to those who do not engage in bullying behaviour.2. Adolescents who have higher emotional competence will engage in less bullying behaviour and show lower levels of aggression.3. There will be a negative correlation between emotional competence and bullying/aggression in adolescents. The variables independent variable: Bullying behaviour: These variable measures whether the adolescent engages in bullying behaviour or not. Dependent variable: Aggression: These variable measures the level of aggressive behaviour exhibited by the adolescent. Emotional competence: These variable measures the adolescent's ability to recognize, understand, and manage their emotions. For the analysis of result correlations is used. The 2sample size used is 8th to 12th class students age group of 14-18 years. The result used here is correlation between bullying and aggression is. -157 the correlation between bullying and emotional competence is .175. there is insignificant relationship between the variables. The implication of the study It can assist us in figuring out the root reasons of bullying and the risk factors that go along with it. The findings can be used to build effective prevention and intervention techniques, including programs that promote emotional competence in teenagers. Policymakers can use the study's results to create policies and guidelines addressing bullying in schools. Additionally, it emphasises how crucial it is to help teenagers' mental health by addressing their emotional competence.
