EXTRACURRICULAR SPORTS PARTICIPATION OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINOUS AREAS OF VIETNAM
Authors: Quyet Nguyen Duy , Duc Ngo Xuan , Toan Nguyen Mạnh 
Published: April 2024

Extracurricular sports are voluntary learner-oriented sports implemented during non-class hours and suited for the student's interests, gender, age, and physical base. This paper was written to provide thorough information about the extracurricular sports engagement of 872 students from 11 high schools in the northern mountainous area of Vietnam. The researchers utilized statistical analysis and sociological surveys to collect such extensive quantitative data. Six criteria were also suggested to evaluate the circumstances. The findings show that the number of students who regularly participate in extracurricular sports accounts for 23.19%, of which males account for 23.92% and females 22.40%, and over 28% of them confirm that they love and are actively involved in playing sports after school. Moreover, all of the schools confirm that they do organize extracurricular sports for their students and most of them are conducted with the guidance of teachers. The most popular contents of extracurricular sports include shuttlecock kicking, football and badminton. In the 2022-2023 school year, there have been 18 intramural sports tournaments and 10 off-campus sports tournaments held with a total of 1392 students attending.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0707/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

La solidaridad en la gestión de los flujos migratorios internos de la Unión Europea
Authors: OLESTI RAYO ANDREU 
Published: April 2024

La designada crisis de los refugiados obligó a replantearse la política
de gestión de la política migratoria y la política de asilo, pues las consecuencias
del traslado de cientos de miles de personas en el espacio Schengen ponía
en peligro la efectiva libre circulación de personas. Entre las medidas propuestas
destacan las relativas a la creación de un mecanismo de reubicación entre los
Estados miembros, de las personas solicitantes de protección internacional. Los inconvenientes
e impedimentos para alcanzar un sistema estable, previsible y solidario
en esta cuestión representan un ejemplo de las dificultades de profundizar
en la política de asilo europea.
Errefuxiatuen krisia bezala ezagutzen denaren ondorioz migraziopolitika
eta asilo-politika kudeatzeko politika birplanteatu behar izan ziren; izan ere,
Schengen eremuan ehunka mila pertsona lekualdatzearen ondorioek pertsonen benetako
zirkulazio askea arriskuan jartzen zuten. Proposatutako neurrien artean, nabarmentzekoak
dira, nazioarteko babesa eskatzen duten pertsonak Estatu kideen artean
kokatzeko mekanismo bat sortzeari buruzkoak. Horri lotuta sistema egonkorra,
aurrez ikusi daitekeena eta solidarioa lortzeko oztopoak eta eragozpenak Europako
asilo-politikan sakontzeko zailtasunen adibide dira.
The so-called refugee crisis forced a rethinking of migration and
asylum policy, as the consequences of the transfer of hundreds of thousands
of people within the Schengen area jeopardized the effective free movement
of persons. Among the measures proposed, those relating to the creation of
a mechanism for the relocation between Member States of persons seeking
international protection stand out. The drawbacks and impediments to achieving a
stable, predictable and supportive system in this matter represent an example of
the difficulties of deepening European asylum policy.
Solidaridad a la carta y seguridad reforzada como coordenadas de la política de migración en la Unión Europea
Authors: CHICHARRO ALICIA 
Published: April 2024

El fracaso reiterado de las medidas adoptadas por la Unión Europea
(UE) en el ámbito migratorio ha sido el detonante para proponer un enfoque
renovado en esta materia, a través de un paquete normativo derivado del Nuevo
Pacto sobre Migración y Asilo. Por un lado, la gestión de la política migratoria europea
adopta un concepto más flexible que integra otras formas de solidaridad
para aquellos Estados que no quieren acoger a personas migrantes. Por otro, se
continúa apostando por la seguridad como eje fundamental de las relaciones con
terceros países, soslayando la posible vulneración de los derechos humanos al
negociar con regímenes no democráticos. Desde una metodología cualitativa,
analizamos estos dos pilares para averiguar si el enfoque responde realmente a
los desafíos del continente, que van desde la gestión de los flujos, pasando por la
acogida e integración, hasta el reto de contrarrestar el envejecimiento demográfico
y social de nuestras sociedades.
Europar Batasunak (EB) migrazioaren arloan hartu dituen neurriek
behin eta berriro egin dute porrot. Hori dela eta, gaiaren inguruko beste
ikuspegi bat proposatu dute, migrazioari eta asiloari buruzko itun berriaren ondoriozko
arau-zorro baten bidez. Batetik, Europako migrazio-politikaren kudeaketak
kontzeptu malguago bati heldu dio, eta bestelako elkartasun-moduak txertatu dira
migratzailerik hartu nahi ez duten estatuetarako. Bestetik, apustuak jarraitzen du
izaten segurtasunaren aldekoa, hirugarren herrialdeekiko harremanen oinarrizko
ardatz gisa; horrela, saihestu egiten da erregimen ez-demokratikoekiko negoziazioetan
giza eskubideak urratzeko aukera. Metodologia kualitatiboa erabilita, bi
zutabe horiek aztertuko ditugu, ikuspegi berriak kontinentearen erronkei benetan
erantzuten ote dien ikusteko. Erronka horien artean ditugu, besteak beste, fluxuen
kudeaketa, harrera eta integrazioa eta gure gizarteen zahartze demografiko eta sozialari
aurre egiteko desafioa.
The repeated failure of the measures adopted by the EU in the
area of migration has been the trigger for proposing a renewed approach on this
field, through a regulatory package derived from the New Pact on Migration and
Asylum. On the one hand, the management of European migration policy adopts
a more flexible concept, that integrates other forms of solidarity for those States
that do not wish to receive migrants. On the other hand, it continues to focus on
security as the cornerstone of relations with third countries, ignoring the possible
violation of human rights when negotiating with non-democratic regimes. Using
a qualitative methodology, we analyze these two pillars to find out if the approach
really responds to the continent¿s challenges, which range from the management
of flows, through reception and integration, to the challenge of counteracting the
demographic and social aging of our societies.
Retour sur les relations entre les principes de solidarité et de confiance mutuelle à la lumière des droits fondamentaux
Authors: FONTAINE MARION, ANNA 
Published: April 2024

El uso creciente del concepto de «solidaridad» en el discurso institucional
y político atestigua que la «crisis de los refugiados» es ante todo una crisis
de solidaridad en la Unión Europea. Más ampliamente, revela una crisis de valores
que cuestiona la confianza mutua entre los Estados miembros. Este artículo
examina el Derecho y la práctica jurídica para analizar la naturaleza de la relación
entre los principios de «solidaridad» y «confianza mutua». Estos últimos son principios
estructurales de la Unión, como ilustran los litigios sobre derechos fundamentales
relativos al asilo y a la orden de detención europea. En efecto, el díptico
de la solidaridad y la confianza es identificable en estos dos ámbitos del ELSJ, y la
interacción y la resolución de su relación están estrechamente vinculadas al imperativo
de protección de los derechos fundamentales.
Diskurtso instituzional eta politikoan «elkartasun» kontzeptua
gero eta gehiagotan entzuteak argi uzten du «errefuxiatuen krisia», beste ezeren
gainetik, Europar Batasunaren elkartasun-krisia dela. Are gehiago, estatu kideen
elkarrekiko konfiantza zalantzan jartzen duen balio-krisi batean gaudela erakusten
du. Artikulu honetan, zuzenbidea eta praktika juridikoa aztertzen dira, «elkartasun»
eta «elkarrekiko konfiantza» printzipioen arteko harremanaren nondik norakoak aztertzeko.
Bi kontzeptu horiek Batasunaren egiturazko printzipioak dira, eta halaxe
erakusten dute asiloaren eta Europako atxilotze-aginduaren inguruko oinarrizko
eskubideei buruzko auziek. Hain zuzen ere, askatasun-, segurtasun- eta justizia-esparruaren
barruan, elkartasunaren eta konfiantzaren diptikoak bere tokia dauka,
eta bi eremuen arteko interakzioa eta harremana oso lotuta daude oinarrizko eskubideak
babesteko manamenduarekin.
The growing use of the concept of ¿solidarity¿ in institutional and
political discourse attests that the ¿refugee crisis¿ is first and foremost a crisis of
solidarity in the European Union. More broadly, it reveals a crisis of values that
questions mutual trust between Member States. This article examines the law and
legal practice to analyze the nature of the relationship between the principles of
¿solidarity¿ and ¿mutual trust¿. The latter are structural principles of the Union,
as illustrated by the fundamental rights litigation concerning asylum and the
European Arrest Warrant. Indeed, the diptych of solidarity and trust is identifiable
in these two areas of the AFSJ, and the interaction and resolution of their
relationship is closely linked to the imperative of protection of fundamental rights.

Abstract. In the modern world, dams and the artificial reservoirs behind them serve the increasing demand for water across diverse needs such as agriculture, energy production, and drinking water. As dams continue to proliferate, monitoring water availability influenced by reservoir operations is now of paramount importance. The Reservoir Assessment Tool (RAT) is a data-driven software platform that integrates satellite remote sensing with hydrological models, enabling the estimation of key reservoir parameters such as inflow, outflow, surface area, evaporation, and storage changes. The earliest version of RAT (version 1.0) was set up for 1598 reservoirs around the world with limitations in functional robustness, updating frequency, and scalability. Some of these limitations on updating frequency and functional robustness were addressed in version 2.0 that was later made operational for the intergovernmental agency of the Mekong River Commission. Recognizing the need for scalability to mobilize the global water management community to benefit from satellite remote sensing, we hereby introduce RAT version 3.0. This version is optimized for accelerating open collaboration among users for continuous improvement and customization of RAT to enable reservoir management breakthroughs. RAT 3.0 represents a wholesale overhaul from the previous versions to empower the global community of users and developers in the spirit of the open-source movement. RAT 3.0 allows reservoir monitoring advancements and new functional developments that can be freely exchanged and seamlessly integrated for continuous evolution of the software. A centralized web application has also been established to facilitate the storage and dissemination of global reservoir monitoring information along with comprehensive training resources. RAT 3.0 aspires to bridge the traditional practices of water management community with the capabilities of satellite remote sensing. The global impact of the software can be expected to increase as uptake spreads, enabling a more sustainable and equitable utilization of our planet's water resources.
CAR36, a regional high-resolution ocean forecasting system for improving drift and beaching of Sargassum in the Caribbean archipelago

Abstract. The stranding of Sargassum seaweed on the Caribbean archipelago beaches constitutes real socio-economic, ecological and health problems. Météo-France currently operates a model of Sargassum drift forecast (called MOTHY) forced by ocean currents from the global analysis and forecasting system GLO12 at 1/12° (∼9 km over the Caribbean) operated by Mercator Ocean International (MOi). In order to improve the Météo-France drift forecast, MOi has developed a regional high-resolution ocean forecasting system CAR36 at 1/36° (∼3 km) centred in the Caribbean archipelago region. In addition to a finer spatial resolution, this system was designed to resolve higher-frequency signals such as the tidal forcing and to use hourly atmospheric forcing including the inverse barometer effect. Here the added value of the CAR36 system relative to GLO12 is evaluated with particular focus on the reproduction of meso- and sub-mesoscale structures representing key features of the Caribbean region dynamics and therefore Sargassum transport. The realism of the local dynamics was examined with standard statistical validation diagnostics using satellite data (sea surface height, sea surface temperature, Sargassum detection) and drifting buoys, together with more process-oriented diagnostics such as eddy detection and tracking across the domain. GLO12 and CAR36 hindcast simulations were compared over the year 2019. CAR36 showed marginally better scores using OceanPredict diagnostics (https://oceanpredict.org/, last access: 10 April 2024). The dynamics of a westward-propagating North Brazil Current (NBC) eddy from its entry into the domain to its dissipation were found to be more realistic in CAR36, especially at the end of its lifetime when it collides with the Caribbean archipelago. The transfer of kinetic energy from the eddy dissipating westward into the Caribbean Sea was diagnosed as more pronounced for CAR36, corresponding to filamentary structures crossing the Caribbean archipelago and resulting in part from the friction of the NBC eddy along the islands to the east. Using detection from satellites, aggregation of Sargassum around eddies or along filaments suggests that CAR36 should improve the algae drift forecasts.

Authors: Famela Q. Barairo  
Published: April 2024

In 2017, the Department of Education (DepEd) issued the Gender Responsive Basic Education Policy mandating schools to pursue initiatives to address enduring and emerging gender issues and to promote gender equality. This explanatory-sequential research explored and analyzed the gender-mainstreaming initiatives implemented in the Schools Division of Batangas City. Based on the Gender Mainstreaming Evaluation Framework (GMEF), the assessment of 255 basic education personnel reveal that the gender-mainstreaming in their Schools Division of Batangas City is currently at the GAD application (Level III). The basic education personnel know the various GAD initiatives institutionalized within the organization and the strategic approach to implementing GAD-related activities. The results and findings from the real-time Delphi survey and focus group discussion underscore the importance of targeted interventions in curriculum development, pedagogy, learning environments, research, capacity building, and knowledge management. The study recommends strengthening awareness programs, addressing knowledge gaps, implementing real-time monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, and fostering collaborative partnerships to enhance gender responsiveness within the Schools Division of Batangas City. These recommendations aim to foster an inclusive and equitable educational environment that supports the holistic development of all students, aligning with the principles of the Gender Responsive Basic Education Policy.
Evaluation of Common Security Vulnerabilities of State Universities and Colleges Websites Based on OWASP
Authors: Carlos P. Flores Jr.  
Published: April 2024

The security of state universities' and colleges' websites in the Philippines is vital because they play a critical role in delivering education and information to a wide variety of users. However, these institutions are also exposed to several security flaws due to their growing reliance on digital platforms. The objective of this study is to analyze security vulnerabilities in state universities and colleges websites, utilizing the OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP), an open-source tool. By adhering to the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top 10, we can identify potential hazards and suggest appropriate measures to mitigate risks. The steps of the test include gathering data about the test target, using OWASP ZAP to do automatic scanning, exploitation of the scan results, reporting, and offering recommendations. Seventeen (17) SUCs were examined, and the results show that 23.53% are vulnerable to injection, 40.06% had insecure design, 70.59% had outdated components, 88.24% have security misconfiguration, and 94.12% are vulnerable to Broken Access Control. Malicious actors use these vulnerabilities to obtain unauthorized access to software, networks, and systems. By raising the privileges and granting the user ID additional access inside the ecosystem, it can harm the availability, confidentiality, or integrity of data. SUCs should embrace the OWASP Top 10 and begin the process of ensuring that the risks associated with their websites are minimized.
Cervical Cancer Detection Using Gabor Featured Convolutional Neural Networks
Authors: D.Baskar  
Published: April 2024

Cervical cancer is identified as the most killing disease in women patients from past two decades. Even though various medical treatments are available at present, its death rate is not reduced. Hence, various computational and automated methods are proposed to improve the medical treatments as early as possible at an earlier stage. From the past decades, machine and deep learning methods are used for detecting the cervical cancer images. The deep learning algorithms provide superior results for the cervical cancer detection system. Therefore, Gabor Featured Convolutional Neural Networks (GFCNN) is proposed to detect the cancer regions in cervical images. It proposes Cervical Cancer Detection System (CCDS) is significantly analyzed by applying the methodologies on the cervical images which are available in Guanacaste Dataset. The proposed CCDS is constructed with the following modules Gabor transforms, Feature computations, Classification and Segmentation. The Gabor transform transforms the pixel coordinates and then intrinsic variation features are determined. These features are classified by the GFCNN classifier. The GFCNN method is tested on the set of cervical images in Guanacaste Dataset and its performance is analyzed with respect to precision, recall and cancer accuracy rate. The proposed CCDs method achieved 98.42% of PN, 98.54% of RL and 98.45% of AY. The results of GFCNN method for cervical cancer detection and segmentation system are compared with other state-of-the-art methods.
