Based on the researchers’ observation, individuals function efficiently and effectively at different times of the day. And also, students’ learning can have based on several factors such as instructors’ mastery of the subject, students’ interest to the subject, class schedule, and the attendance in class of both the students and instructor. In this research, the researchers focused on the effect of learning based on their class schedule. Specifically, the study aims to: (1) To determine if there is a difference between students scheduled in the morning, midday and afternoon session in terms of their performance in the subject Object Oriented Programming; (2) to help the faculty in-charge in creating schedule for IT professional subjects for the next academic year based on the students’ performance; and (3) to document the findings and further analyze the performance of students between morning, midday and afternoon sessions. The participants in the study were students from the College of Computer Studies of Laguna State Polytechnic University – San Pablo City Campus taking up Bachelor of Science in Information Technology enrolled in the subject Object - Oriented Programming (107 students). The length of the study was done within two (2) semesters. In semester one (1), data was obtained from the instructors’ class record consisting of the students’ quizzes, recitation, project, attendance and final exam. Data gathered were from the records of the students having morning, midday and afternoon sessions. In semester two (2), assessment and analysis of the data gathered were conducted. An analysis of variance was used to test the significant difference in the general average among the three groups of respondents namely: morning, midday and afternoon session. The result revealed that there is significant difference among the means of the groups’ general averages. Based on the research findings, the students with afternoon schedule performed better in class compared to those with midday and morning session.

Khushboo Danish, Moatter Waqar, Dr Ahsan Ahmed Ursani, Dr Noor Ahmed sanbhal
Skin substitutes are necessary for the accountability of dreadful incidents in life. They are important for clinical use, particularly in the administration of intense wounds Moreover, Diabetes is a common disease, affecting 422 million people worldwide and causing 1.6 million deaths. requiring patients to administer doses orally or via insulin pen markers. Research aims to develop advanced drugs that can perform activity for the entire day, but this is difficult due to insulin's high molecular weight and long uptake time. Artificial skin substitutes are being developed to reduce animal rights violations in laboratories.. There are numerous skins substitutes available economically, each with specific purposes and skin qualities, for both dry and clammy skin conditions, with mechanical properties within the range of human skin. An artificial skin substitute based on polyurethane material is proposed, with a secondary goal of transdermal drug delivery based on substrate. Using various measurement and evaluation techniques, the surface, mechanical, and behavioral properties of the designed model would be focused to meet the actual skin model. The designed model would be the result of altered substrate ratios, soluble drugs, and materials. In any case, a significant disadvantage of these materials is that they are hydrophobic and incapable of absorbing adequate dampness to successfully mimic skin erosion conducts under changing ecological conditions. As a result, a water-permeable material capable of imitating human skin may be required.

DETERMINANT OF SAVING AMONG RURAL FARMING HOUSEHOLDS IN UDU LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, DELTA STATE, NIGERIAPDF
AYAMOLOWO Oluwakemi, Awoniyi Samuel, Akinwale Jonathan
Research Background: Low savings in an economy could lead to ineffective mobilisation of funds for domestic investment and is the reason for developing countries heavy dependence on external borrowing for developmental and investment projects. One area that can serve as elevation in an economy is the agricultural sector; therefore, the need to evaluate the household savings of the rural farming households (since a great percentage of agricultural production depends on this category) is crucial for the increase in the future investments. Purpose of the Article: This study examined determinants of savings in Udu Local Government Area, Delta State, Nigeria. Method: The multi-stage sampling procedure was adopted to randomly select 120 rural farming households. Only 109 rural farming households' savers were used for the descriptive analysis. Data was collected using a well-structured questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics and a logistic regression model. Findings & Value: The results revealed that the mean age of the farmers was 44 years. Most (55.8%) were male with a mean household size of 10 persons and a mean annual income of ₦53,000 ($128.80). Rural farmers' identified savings purposes were children's school fees, debt defrayment, and emergencies. The 109 respondents who saved during the survey have an annual mean volume of savings of ₦17,000. The non-cash form was the most preferred form of saving by the farming households, and they were saved primarily for cooperatives. Educational level (negative), proximity to a bank, and farm size (both positive) are significant savings determinants among rural farming households. Therefore, enhancing their income and saving capacity requires improved access to land and education, especially lifelong learning, since most farmers are adults. In addition, financial institutions can embark on mobile banking to assist rural farmers in increasing their willingness and saving rate. Keywords: Determinants of Savings; Rural Farming Households.

Khushboo Danish, Zuha Aslam Baloch , Jiya Lohana, Maryam Rajput
Peer pressure has a tremendous impact on an individual’s life by another individual. Positive peer pressure can be helpful for an individual to adopt good lifestyle, habits, and activities. Your peer can treat you effectively in a way to motivate you towards doing right and good things. Every human has variety in his behavior, like if we see a person around us is engaged in doing something for a good cause it would consequently leave a pleasant impression on one’s mind and personality. We went through many research papers to get an idea how actually other countries have peer pressure faced by their senior students, so we decided to provide that database that everyone must be looking for. We had a discussion on aspects to be covered in this survey. Our survey designing included two stages. Initial, we created a sampling plan. 310 students from universities of Pakistan participated in the survey. Our target were students, mostly between 18-25 years old. The survey was accessed by male and female students with a participation of 38% and 62%, respectively. It concluded that students actually experienced both positive and negative peer pressures. 21% students have experienced positive peer pressure whereas 24% marked negative peer and the 55% responses were in favor of equal peer pressure. The survey tells that positive peer pressure victims are (3%) less than negative peer pressure. We conducted an anonymous survey report to know the honest reviews of students.

From the research it was concluded that, in the opinions of public school teachers there is no significance difference in their transformational and transactional leaderships. Also from the opinions of public school teachers about gender wise that there was no significance difference in their transformational and transactional leaderships. Furthermore it was concluded that from the opinions of public school teachers that there was no significance difference between transformation and transactional leaderships and students’ academic achievement. In public schools teachers may assign different project to improve their leadership skills. In different course like (B.Ed), (M.Ed) etc related to teaching not involved any leadership training, thus in leadership training courses may be included in curriculum. Since teacher leadership involved directly in the class, thus Ministry of Education may come up with effective ways to improve the teacher’s leadership skills. Teacher’s in-service programs may be conducted for the development leadership skills of teacher through proper training.
Does Human Security Matter? A Brief Conceptual SynopsisPDF
Muhammad Usman Darasa (PhD)
Human security, as a concept, is believed to provide a new way of thinking about the range of challenges the world faces in the 21st century and how the global community responds to them. However, it is divergently discussed in the fields of International Relations, Political Science, Military Science, and Security Studies. Its meaning might be more widely debated than agreed upon by scholars. For this reason, many security academics and researchers have developed new concepts to reduce conceptual ambiguity, such as collective security, regional security, and human security. Human security as a newly neologized concept of security means different things for different individuals, communities, and states. With this regard, two lines of conception and argumentation have been created about human security. The objective of this paper is therefore to discourse these lines of conceptions and arguments and critically reflect on how human security really matters as a concept. In so doing, the paper argues that the concept of human security is useful, and has potential as a new idea, a critical theory, a normative framework, and an operative policy document in contemporary security matters and threats.
