This study dealt with the influence of peer and parental pressure on the Academic Achievement of grade 11 students in Lorenzo S. Sarmiento Sr. National High School. The primary goal of the study was to determine the level of peer pressure, parental pressure and academic achievement in terms of their respective indicators, the significant difference between peer pressure, parental pressure and academic achievement, and what domains of peer pressure and parental pressure substantially influence academic achievement. Also, this study utilized a quantitative-correlational design with 202 respondents among Grade 11 students in Lorenzo S. Sarmiento Sr. National High School. The average weighted mean, Pearson R, and multiple regression analysis were the statistical tools used in this study. Along with this, results showed a low level of peer pressure and a low level of parental pressure among Grade 11 students in terms of yielding to peer pressure, resistance to peer pressure, and peer encouragement as to Peer Pressure; and Self-efficacy, Creativity and Self-esteem as to Parental Pressure. Likewise, results showed a high level of academic achievement in Grade 11 students regarding mastery approach goal, performance approach goal and performance avoidance goal. In addition, there is a negligible correlation, and significant relationship between peer pressure and academic achievement. Hence, this leads to rejection of the null hypothesis. On the other hand, parental pressure and academic achievement shows no correlation and no significant relationship. Thus, this leads to not rejecting of the null hypothesis. Also, all domains of peer pressure and parental pressure showed a low rating as perceived by students. Thus, less evident peer pressure can subtly influence individuals to conform to social norms, affecting their choices and behavior. Parental pressure, when infrequent but intense, may create stress and impact decision-making, influencing a person’s life choices.

Authors: Pomi Shakina Sultana , Somaul Haque Mohammed Abul Hasnath
Published: May 2024

Green Finance, alternatively Sustainable Finance, is one of the fastest growing economic sectors in the world now a day. This paper provides an outline of green financing status of Bangladesh, endows with a portrayal on the different sources of green finance available in Bangladesh, provides an insight into the green finance landscape in the country in general and represents the challenges and prospective for greening growth of Bangladesh towards achieving SDG14. Greening the economy involves improving environmental quality and combating climate change which poses political, economic and financial challenges. Major challenges are about financing climate protection and climate change adaptation and how we can fill the funding gap. The goal of SDG 14 is to prevent and reduce ocean pollution, promote sustainable management and protection of marine and coastal ecosystems. Green finance faces many challenges as such in achieving SDGs created a huge financial gap in Bangladesh. This requires the mobilization and use of a variety of financial sources, including domestic revenue, development assistance, private sector investment, and public-private partnerships. The global economic downturn, violent conflict in some countries, biodiversity loss, water, dry land, forest degradation, and climate change pose challenges to peace and prosperity. Due to lack of capacities of banks and financial institutions, the lack of a proper understanding of the risks and returns of green projects, and the underdeveloped equity and bond markets decelerating the expected growth of green projects in Bangladesh. Lack of coordination among the respective agencies, poor financial governance, and the absence of a national policy oversight body and mainstreaming green finance toward SDG14 are some of the key policy issues that Bangladesh needs to address and to promote green financing to achieve sustainable development goals (i.e. SDG14) for reinstallation of coastal and marine ecosystem.

The role of dogs in increasing physical activity and improving the health of dog owners
Authors: Pálinkás Réka
Published: May 2024

Nowadays pets, especially dogs, are very popular. One of the most common ways of describing dogs is "members of the family". It can be said that nowadays dogs have become an integral part of the household, becoming an important part of one's family and social circle. Not only children want a little friend, but adults also need the company of a pet. Nowadays, the recreational (leisure) purpose of keeping dogs is also increasingly being observed and is becoming more and more visible, as leisure time spent with a dog contributes to improving one's health and working ability. Walking can be one of the most important leisure activities with a dog and can help to provide the daily activity needs. A number of studies have focused on the positive effects of dog walking for physical activity. Research focuses on the positive effects of dog ownership on increasing an individual's physical activity. Active encouragement of dog walking can increase physical activity levels, thus contributing to improving people's health and quality of life [14, 15, 45, 59]. Studies suggest that dog ownership has a positive impact on physical activity [62, 63, 64]. More and more dog owners are now taking their dogs with them on both their travels and holidays. Physical activity, which includes exercise, is inversely related to mortality but also to reducing obesity rates, and thus has an important role in preventing disease, improving quality of life [18] and reducing healthcare expenditure. The aim of my research is to investigate the dog-human relationship and the role and importance of the recreational activity system in this context in society. A further aim of my research was to investigate the role and impact of dogs on dog owners' physical activity, dog interaction and mental health. To achieve my goal, I created an online questionnaire. In my research, I sought to answer questions about how dog owners develop a relationship with their companion animal, the role of the dog in their active leisure time and the impact of the dog on the owner's mental health.

Authors: Owusu Grace
Published: May 2024

Corruption is a widespread issue that plagues societies across the globe. It is imperative to address this problem to safeguard human rights and promote sustainable development. By encouraging transparent and responsible governance, we can strengthen democracy and foster a culture of integrity among public officials and civil servants. Since its establishment in 1994, the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) has garnered international attention for its commitment to peace efforts and anti-corruption initiatives. Over the past decade, it has become a hub of public and private sector corruption scandals, mainly due to its declining performance on the Corruption Perception Index. This paper aims to evaluate the progress of some West African nations, specifically Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Cote d'Ivoire, and Burkina Faso, in their battle against corruption. The study will compare their performance and anti-corruption policies implemented in recent years to determine which countries are progressing and which are lagging. This study employed a mixed methods approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The primary objective was to evaluate various countries' capacity to combat corruption. Data was sourced from the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index and the World Governance Indicator to accomplish this. The gathered information was then classified and assessed using a comparative research design and strategy. By conducting time series analysis, the study aimed to identify commonalities and variations between the countries and draw insightful conclusions. The data will be presented graphically to exhibit trends, which this report will explore further. The paper compares the efforts of different West African countries in fighting corruption. It highlights the countries making significant strides in combating corruption and the laggards falling behind in their efforts. This assessment promotes transparency, accountability, and good governance in West Africa.

Authors: Subecz Zoltán
Published: May 2024

A Java az egyik legnépszerűbb programozási nyelv, ezért fontos a lehető legjobb teljesítmény elérése. Szabványos végrehajtási technikája az interpretáció, ahol az értelmező közvetlenül hajtja végre a forráskódot, ez biztosítja a programok hordozhatóságát, ami a Java nyelv egyik előnye. De ez az értelmezés meglehetősen lassú, azonban a Java programok futási teljesítménye fordítással javítható. A közvetlen fordítók átalakítják a Java forráskódot a célprocesszor nyelvére. Ez az összeállítás jelentősen javítja a Java programok teljesítményét, de csökken a hordozhatóság, mivel a generált kód csak a célprocesszoron futtatható. A cikk olyan módszereket mutat be, amelyek növelik a sebességet, miközben megőrzik az alkalmazás platformfüggetlenségét.

The cattle need to be fed. It is a simple statement, but one that resonates with every cattle producer. To make this necessary task easier for farmers, the concept of automatic cattle feeding system came into existence.

Opposite Ends: Why the United States and Singapore have Drastically Different Models of Free Speech
Authors: Chamberlin Dylan
Published: May 2024

This article delves into why the United States and Singapore, despite their shared colonial history, democratic institutions, wealth, and global influence, have drastically different free speech models. This paper will look at three points of comparison: historical context, political theory, and evolution of judicial interpretation. By comparing the current events and the prevalent political theories at the time of drafting the Singaporean and American constitutions, this paper seeks to understand why the nations ratified contrasting free speech clauses.  However, the Constitution is only as meaningful as the courts interpret it, so this paper also explores how the respective Supreme Courts of Singapore and America have evolved their interpretation of the Constitution to shape their contrasting free speech models. While this paper will not argue which model of free speech is more effective, it will outline the underlying reasons for Singapore and America's drastically different free speech models.
