Every individual has suffered greatly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. A remediation program is one of the approaches that help those students at risk of failing the subject. The main purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of the Plug-In Learn Remediation Program for senior high school students who are at risk of failing the General Mathematics and Earth and Life Science core subjects. A mixed method design was employed, data were analyzed using a t-test, and focus-group discussion (FGD) was conducted with eight (8) Grade 11 at-risk students. The results of the study revealed that in the Earth and Life subjects, the inferential analysis between the pre-test and post-test scores of students who are at risk indicates that there is no significant difference since the p-value is greater than the 0.05 level of significance. The result of the paired t-test indicates a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of students at risk of failing in General Mathematics, since the p-value is lower than the 0.05 significance level. In addition, (1) satisfaction, (2) helpfulness, (3) comprehensiveness, and (4) happiness were the salient experiences of students during the Plug-in Learning Remediation Program. Moreover, the suggested improvement for the Plug-in Learning Remediation Program emerged only one theme – the use of local dialect (Filipino or Visayan language).

This paper assesses green practices and corporate environmentalism in international business management. It examines sustainability activities in different industries, emphasizing the strategies companies adopt to achieve sustainability and economic performance simultaneously. Drawing on corporative environmental reports, sustainability audits and green performance indicators, this study reveals the motivators and barriers to implementing environmentally sustainable practices. The study sheds the light on how firms can adopt eco-efficient technologies, waste management, and resource optimization to enhance their competitive advantage and meet organizational environmental responsibilities. The proposed research advances the knowledge of corporate stewardship and offers practical recommendations for organizations interested in improving environmental responsibility.

Given the state of polity and lack of recognition, we argue that there is a myriad of problems in Nigerian higher education institutions (NHEIs). These problems have impeded the progress of academia across all the thirty-six states of the country. In addressing research, teaching, community service, and the impact of NHEIs, we seek the tool of conviviality. By conviviality, we mean the state of incompleteness that challenges every individual and group to be open-minded in their relationships, claims, being, belonging, and articulations of identities. The paper employs a critical lens to understand the indefatigable tool of conviviality among researchers, academics, and analysts for promoting cutting-edge research. This is done specifically to address, propose, and re-energise the missing link that exists in modern Nigerian higher education institutions.

This study examines the labor profile and perceived barriers of Latin American migrants in Quebec, specifically in the cities of Montreal and Quebec City. Using a qualitative research approach, a questionnaire was administered to a sample of 24 migrants to collect data on variables such as age, location, educational level, language fluency, migration status, main barrier observed, gender and work domain. Despite the modest sample size, the findings revealed significant patterns that provide a deeper understanding of the labor dynamics of this migrant population. A multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) was used to identify distinctive segments within the sample and differences between migrants located in Montreal and Quebec City were discussed. The main barriers to employment were analyzed, highlighting the importance of professional networks, cultural adaptation and structural deficiencies in the labor market. This article contributes to the literature by providing specific recommendations for employment policies targeting different groups of migrants, with the objective of promoting more equitable and effective labor market integration in the province of Quebec.

Introduction: The "Happy Program" implemented by AMCO across various schools in Latin America has been the subject of a mixed-methods study assessing its impact on the socio-emotional competencies of primary school students. The study focuses on the perceptions of both teachers and students, integrating quantitative and qualitative techniques for a comprehensive evaluation. Methods: Mixed-methods design to thoroughly assess the impacts of the Happy Program on socio-emotional competencies among primary school students. This design incorporates both quantitative and qualitative approaches to provide a multi-dimensional understanding of the program’s effects. Teacher’s study, this segment involves a survey distributed to 57 teachers, designed to capture their perceptions before and after the implementation of the Happy Program. The survey measures changes in their views on students' socio-emotional skills and the overall classroom environment. Teachers are asked to rate the program’s influence on student behavior and emotional management, and to comment on areas for improvement, such as activity variety and family engagement. Parallel to the teacher survey, a larger scale study surveys 1,526 students. This study aims to gather direct feedback from the students about their experiences with the Happy Program. Students respond to questions about their emotional understanding, how they manage emotions, and their interactions with peers and family members as influenced by the program. This data is crucial for measuring the perceived effectiveness of the program from the students’ perspective. Findings/Results: Teachers reported a generally positive impact of the program on students, noting enhancements in key skills such as self-regulation and empathy. However, they also identified areas for improvement, such as activity diversification and greater family engagement. The results detail an increase in emotional understanding and management skills among students, with 76% of teachers observing significant improvements in these areas following the program's implementation.

The Middle Corridor is emerging as a crucial alternative trade route due to recent geopolitical shifts. It provides a viable alternative to the established Northern Corridor, which connects Europe and Asia through Russia. The Middle Corridor offers shorter routes and access to emerging markets with significant growth potential. This study aims to assess the geopolitical impact of activating the Middle Corridor, analyze cargo traffic along the route, and evaluate both operational impacts and strategic implications. Addressing infrastructure and operational challenges, as well as securing necessary investments, will be essential for the corridor’s long-term success and competitiveness in global trade. For the participating countries, this corridor represents an opportunity to diversify trade routes and reduce dependency on the Northern Corridor.
