Guidelines that help a person distinguish between good and wrong are known as moral values. The study aims to compare the relationship between Locus of Control and Moral Identity among Atheists and Theists, determining the influence of religious belief on these factors. Atheism believes in the absence of deities, using scientific data and logical justifications to explain human life. Theism is the belief in a superior reality, often called God in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Understanding religious beliefs can help us understand human nature and religion's impact on values and behaviors. A sample of 211 individuals was included, including male and female participants from various geographical areas. The study used socio-demographic data collection tools, such as the Moral Identity Questionnaire and Rotter's Locus of Control Scale, and collected data for statistical analysis. The study maintains confidentiality and uses T-tests to examine significant relationships and gender differences. The research found that no significant difference exists between theists and atheists on their locus of control and moral values, and higher morality levels lower an individual's locus of control.\u0000KEYWORDS: Locus of control, Atheism, Theism, Moral values, Religio","PeriodicalId":114964,"journal":{"name":"EPRA International Journal of Research & Development (IJRD)","volume":"61 26","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141807211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A descriptive-correlational research design was used. The respondents of this study were 310 Grade 10 students in five public secondary high schools in the Division of Davao del Norte and were chosen through stratified random sampling. This study used three adopted questionnaires. Mean, Standard Deviation, Pearson r, and Regression Analysis were used as statistical tools. The findings showed that student’s self-esteem was fairly manifested while student’s self-control was fairly observed. The academic achievement of grade 10 students in mathematics did not meet expectations. The findings also revealed that both self-esteem and self-control have a significant relationship on students’ academic achievement in mathematics. The findings also demonstrated that self-control is a significant predictor of academic achievement in mathematics but not self-esteem. The results emphasized that educators and school administrators should focus on enhancing social and physical acceptance, addressing procrastination, attention control, and impulse control, and boosting mathematics achievement. These interventions may include teamwork activities, body positivity programs, and creating a safe space for discussing social anxieties. Strategies may include time management workshops, mindfulness exercises, and role-playing scenarios. Future research could explore the link between self-control and mathematics achievement, suggesting that incorporating self-control strategies into classrooms, effective study time planning and focused teaching techniques could improve test scores. \u0000KEYWORDS: Math education, self-esteem, self-control, mathematics achievement, descriptive and correlational design, regression analysis, Davao del Norte, Philippines","PeriodicalId":114964,"journal":{"name":"EPRA International Journal of Research & Development (IJRD)","volume":"141 44","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141810848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The immune system's role in warding off sickness and germs consists of the lymphatic system. Hodgkin lymphoma develops when normally functioning lymphatic cells transform and proliferate uncontrollably. The annual incidence of Hodgkin lymphoma is two to three cases per one hundred thousand individuals. Nodular lymphocyte predominance (NLPHL) and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) are the two subtypes of Hodgkin lymphoma that are distinguished based on immunohistochemically and visual characteristics. Upon first diagnosis, the majority of individuals with Hodgkin's lymphoma will have supradiaphragmatic lymphadenopathy. Inguinal lymph node involvement is infrequent, however, patients commonly report lymph node involvement in the neck, anterior mediastinal, supraclavicular, and axillary areas. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are the fundamental components of treatment for classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), although in certain instances of slow-growing non-Hodgkin lymphoma, monitoring may be considered a viable approach.\u0000KEYWORDS: Hodgkin lymphoma, Epstein-Barr virus, Nodular lymphocyte predominance, Immunotherapy, Graft-versus-host disease.","PeriodicalId":114964,"journal":{"name":"EPRA International Journal of Research & Development (IJRD)","volume":"122 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141822186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a set of genetic disorder tests as the data, a number of models, such as Auto_ViML – an automated machine learning model, and RandomForestClassifier, are deployed and tested to classify possible presence of genetic disorders. In order to overcome the issues these different classes pose as a large imbalance in the number of instances between the classes, we use SMOTE or the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique in order to counterbalance the classes and hence make the calculations and the overall resultant models more accurate. This step is important in managing the given skewed data set characteristic to genetic disorders that more often possess fewer positive samples than negative ones. \u0000 Also, for the purpose of explaining the models we employ LIME method that allows for the local model-agnostic explanation and provides an insight into how these black-box methods make decisions. The use of LIME allows the results of the machine learning models to be interpretable by the physicians, hence making them to trust the results of the models and or implement them into their practice. This paper emphasizes the importance of this feature to make the system more acceptable among practitioners who have to explain diagnoses and treatment plans to the patients. \u0000 The findings revealed the prospects of automation in improving the conduct of screening for genetic disorders. Combining more sophisticated machine learning instruments with interpretability methodologies, our solution enables efficient detection of patients’ condition changes and contributes to their better health outcomes due to timely interventions and more precise treatment plans. The results call for the further integration of genomic tests and complex machine learning approaches to derive precise models that are implementable in clinical settings while being easy to explain.\u0000KEYWORDS: Network Intrusion Detection, UNSW-NB15, CIC-IDS2017, Packet Capture (PCAP), Machine Learning, Data Preprocessing, Feature Selection","PeriodicalId":114964,"journal":{"name":"EPRA International Journal of Research & Development (IJRD)","volume":"114 42","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141821287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Students write to learn in order to organize, investigate, and digest new information, as well as display their understanding (Klein et al., 2016). In general, the writing problems identified in this study through pre-test, interview, questionnaire, and observation were that students had difficulty producing a gramatically correct sentence, expressing their ideas logically, using appropriate words, producing cohesive and coherent text, and producing accurate spelling and punctuation. To solve those problems encountered by teachers in Binan City Senior High School, the researchers conducted a study on utilizing the four-phase technique to improve the writing skills of the students in Piling Larang Grade 12. This research employs a quasi-experimental research design utilizing the pretest and posttest to determine the effectiveness of the four-way phase technique to enhance the writing skills of the students in Grade 12 Piling Larang, and two sections were used for the comparison group and the experimental group with 30 students each. The noteworthy result of the inferential statistic of the research is that there is a significant difference between the posttest mean score of the experimental and comparison groups, which shows that there is a noteworthy increase in the mean score of the experimental group, proving that all theories in the literary reviews supported the result of this study. This research recommends that teachers may utilize the four-phase technique in improving their writing skills, and school administrators are encouraged to assist teachers in implementing the four-phase technique in writing. It encourages to hold seminars and workshops on this four-phase technique in writing, not only for senior high school teachers, and future researchers may identify and test other possible factors that can further define the effectiveness of the four-phase technique in improving the writing skills of students.\u0000KEYWORDS: Four phase technique, Writing Skills, Piling Larang, Quantitative Study","PeriodicalId":114964,"journal":{"name":"EPRA International Journal of Research & Development (IJRD)","volume":"7 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141641887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
