A significant role was played by the parents of the students, who had to become homeschoolers within a few days without prior training upon the suspension of face-to-face education. This study investigated the difficulties of Filipino parents (n = 90) with low educational attainment in assisting their children in modular distance learning. In-depth analysis and survey were employed as research instruments to extract responses on the difficulties of parents with low educational attainment and how government should aid them during a global crisis. The study was conducted in Zamboanga City, Philippines from July 2022 to December 2022. Parents struggled to explain, elaborate, and understand the lessons in the self-learning modules. Simulated teacher roles were another difficulty where parents were clueless on facilitating homeschooling and addressing learners’ needs. Gender roles difficulties were prominent where women assume that homeschooling responsibilities added to their roles in c...

Competitive debating in education has grown in recent years. Debating shaped the skills of students in researching, argumentation, language use, and persuasiveness. Language fluency allowed the students to express their thoughts in clear and concise manner. The aim of this study was to explore how debating grows the confidence and reduce anxiety in English language use, particularly during academic engagements. There were 12 trained debate students who participated in the study from high school and college. This study explored the narratives of students on what nature of competitive debating influenced their speaking skills within their academic engagements e g., class discussions and responding to questions. Narrative analysis suggested that students experienced changes on how they construct sentences in their minds―they did it quickly and more efficiently now. Notably, their exposure to competitive debates reduced their fear in public speaking which then helped them understand the...

This study explored the message patterns of gender-based humor in social media in different layers of discriminatory practices against certain genders, language biases against women and LGBT including elements of stereotyping and disempowering tools against the personal images of subordinate genders. This research used discourse analysis based on the mapped-out online posts and comments of the fourteen (14) profiles of individuals and extracted their important testimonies based on the collected online gender-based humor to elicit the message patterns. Gender-based humor online enhanced the language use in creating messages that express biases towards women and the LGBT. Humor has both implicit and explicit messages that stereotype women and LGBT as weak and slow. These senses of humor also disempower the women and LGBT’s personal images as groups who are easily dominated or are cowards. As asserted, gender-based humor posed a threat to community as it highlights hierarchy-enhancing ...

Language is one of the most powerful means through which sexism and gender discrimination are perpetrated and reproduced (Menegatti and Rubini, 2017). The study examined the contrarian features of gender-based online humor in relation to the mainstreaming of gender and development (GAD). Discourse analysis was used as a method in examining discourse markers of online gender-based humor in terms of defaulting jokes as normal, tolerating sexist jokes, and perceiving that inequality in gender is reality. Fourteen (14) participants who are persons in power or authority, persons based on their educational attainment, persons based on their gender roles, and persons from different generational classifications participated in the study which utilized online gender-based-mapper, one-on-one interviews, and FGD-oriented instruments for the extraction and analysis of the research. After the analysis, it was revealed that the normalization of online gender jokes was prevalent in social media. N...

A severe oak decline event associated with the outbreak of an insect pest (Enaphalodes rufulus [Haldeman]) affected the Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma Ozarks from the mid-1990s through 2005. Tree mortality was severe and widespread, but patchy in nature. The rugged and remote terrain of the Ozarks led to difficulty in monitoring and assessing the location, severity, and spread of declining stands. In addition, visible symptoms of decline typically occur late in the decline-disease spiral, providing little early warning and leaving few options for mitigation. In situ spectroradiometry using handheld equipment offers an affordable option for characterizing the spectral signatures of plant stress and assessing the feasibility of areawide remote sensing projects without risking a large upfront investment in imagery. Foliage from 30 northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.) trees was sampled using a handheld spectroradiometer, and analysis was conducted using machine learning techniques. Ana...

Quickened remote sensing-assisted data-to-decision pathways in forest monitoring and other applications are fragmented with respect to the treatment of spatial scale. While definitions, terminology, and fundamental scale questions are fairly stable, common practices of dealing with the effects of spatial scale in such applications as forest monitoring have remained stagnant for decades. Recent studies are searching for ways to efficiently manage scale so that remote sensing-derived information factors such as reliability and economy may be maximized. Development and research in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence-assisted spatial data processing, high-throughput computing, automated geometric correction, and object-oriented image analysis can be positioned so as to facilitate significantly improved worldwide forest remote sensor synergy. The potential impact of research in automated spatial scale management to this end suggests that it should be computationally integrated with forest remote sensing applications.
