Authors: Orale Ronald L. , Montecastro Doris B. 
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Urban centers are the sites where the fight against climate change can be won or lost. To suceed, carbon footprint arresters like vegetation are essential in attaining sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11).

Objective: The objective of this study is to determine practices of the seleted sites in relation to green and open spaces to include vegetative covers.

Theoretical Framework: The study is anchored in Sustainable Development Theory with emphasis on evironmental conservation.

Method: Conducted 311 virtual and 50 actual observation to determine green space practices. Observation checklist with picture-based score sheet to guide enumerators.

Results and Discussion: The vegetative cover in the Philippines is significantly lower when compared to New York and Singapore. Vegetative covers of observation sites for residential and non-residential areas differences are not significant.

Research Implications: There is a need to explore why towns and cities in the Philippines have poor green spaces despite the fact that it specifically that Distare Risk and Reduction (DRR) and the Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) are mainstreamed in the Comprehesnive Land Use Planning (CLUP) Process.

Originality/Value: The comparison of green spaces in the Philippines, New York and Singapore.
Differential Cooling of a Freshwater Body below the Temperature of Maximum Density

Published: January 2025

We propose a simplified model for the time rate of change of average basin temperature for a freshwater lake which has two connected basins: a shallow littoral zone of depth D1, and a deeper main basin of depth D2. This system is cooled below the temperature of maximum density (Tmd) with a constant and uniform outgoing surface heat flux, Ho. The differential cooling that is established via this set-up gives rise to an exchange flow between the two basins which we approximate as a time dependent heat flux controlled by the strength of the time dependent density difference between the two basins.
Our model is a coupled system of two ordinary differential equations which allows for a process based investigation into the importance of exchange on the timing of ice-onset for a lake with a shallow littoral zone. While basin geometry plays a role in the overall timing of ice-onset for the system, it is the relative strength of Ho to the exchange flow related heat flux due to the density anomaly of fresh water, ρ*, which dictates the behaviour of the cooling system. We show that at sufficiently large values of the heat flux ratio, Φ, the difference in timing of ice onset between the littoral zone and main basin becomes insensitive to the initial conditions in the lake. We use data from Base Mine Lake, Canada, to both verify our model assumptions and evaluate the predictions made by our simple model.

In the present study, we investigated the impact of digital communication tools, specifically email and WhatsApp, on the efficiency and effectiveness of communication among secondary school heads in Punjab, Pakistan. With the rapid advancement of technology in educational settings, understanding how these tools facilitate or hinder communication is essential for improving administrative practices. We employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive research design to collect data from a sample of 112 secondary school heads, selected using a simple random sampling technique. The data were collected through structured questionnaires that assessed the usage, challenges, and communication efficiency of email and WhatsApp. It was analyzed using SPSS software (version 27) by deploying percentage, mean, standard deviation, and independent sample t-tests. Key findings revealed that male school heads reported a higher perception of these communication tools' usage and effectiveness than their female counterparts. While both genders faced similar challenges in using digital platforms, males perceived communication efficiency as significantly higher. Additionally, WhatsApp was favored for its immediacy and collaborative capabilities, while email was valued for maintaining formal records. The implications of this study highlight the necessity for educational policymakers to develop clear communication guidelines and training programs that enhance digital literacy. Furthermore, we suggest that school heads should adopt a balanced approach to using email and WhatsApp to optimize communication practices.
