They are well aware of their local environment, idealistic, and always ready to provide logical solutions and innovations (Śmiechowski, 2019). Young people are dynamic and adaptable and are usually the source of innovation and creativity (Ekka et al., 2022).  According to Karagianni and Montgomery (2018), it is the time for the youth as an individual to develop their leadership. The same author also claims that this can help reinforce self-esteem and be a catalyst for flourishing adulthood.\u0000Despite the promising results and the importance of youth participation in community development, youth have no authentic participation (Stocklin, 2017). SKs faced criticism and became an avenue for corruption, inefficiency (Bautista, 2021), and allegations of malpractices, misconduct, vote-buying, and patronage politics (Flores, et.al, 2021). Adversely, congress believes that an inclusive and empowered youth government should be given a chance to renew the perception of the community to the SK by giving them more accountability and opportunity in participatory governance (Flores et.al, 2021) and community development.\u0000There were studies on youth and SK in community development such as youth engagement in agricultural development (Manalo et al., 2019), youth involvement in community extension programs (Rubio et al., 2016), and youth inclusion in peace processes (Cabanes Ragandang and Podder, 2022). However, there were limited studies that explored the Lived Experiences of Filipino Young Leaders on Participation in Community Development in A Municipality in Northern Negros Occidental. This is the research gap that this study aims to fill.\u0000The purpose of this phenomenological study is to explore the lived experiences of young leaders on participation in community development in a municipality in northern Negros Occidental. At this stage in the research, the participation in the community development of the young leaders in the municipality will be generally defined as the participation in community development and activities implemented by the young leaders in a municipality in northern Negros Occidental.\u0000The SK Officials encountered challenges and struggled in implementing PPAs that involve gathering the youth in the community. It was influenced by low esteem and confidence, far-flung sitios, criticism, change in perspective, the restrictions brought Covid-19 Pandemic. It is notable that in all the areas of youth participation, the sports program is the most participated program. Youth and community development is not limited to sports, it is only a small part of programs that should be initiated by young leaders to drastically improve the development of the community. The delayed release of guidelines and orientation of the COA affected the financial independence and transactions of the SK. Today, the SKs are now expediting the implementation of their PPAs because of the recent guidance of the COA","PeriodicalId":136195,"journal":{"name":"The QUEST: Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Development","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114083384","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 study aims to explore the possibility of recycling waste material from road construction to address sustainability challenges in the construction industry, especially in developing countries like the Philippines. The research adopts an experimental design involving preparing and testing recycled concrete aggregates, alongside sample preparation and testing. The study also employs the XGBoost machine learning algorithm to help predict the compressive strength of concrete. The XGBoost algorithm was trained using fine-tuned hyperparameters, and the model's evaluation was done using R-squared and Root Mean Squared Error. The research findings indicate a positive correlation between RCA content and compressive strength, with the average compressive strength of concrete mixtures increasing over time. The XGBoost outperforms the Multi Linear Regression model in predicting compressive strength, and incorporating RCA within the optimal range can enhance the strength properties of concrete. The study concludes that the XGBoost model with fine-tuned hyperparameters is reliable for predicting compressive strength, contributing to sustainable concrete production and reliable strength outcomes.","PeriodicalId":136195,"journal":{"name":"The QUEST: Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Development","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133637781","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 University Infrastructure Development Office still has the traditional way of manually keeping the records of each project such as printed copy. The risk of having a permanent file document that is being produced as hard copy can be vulnerable to fire, flood, insects and so much more where we cannot retrieve those important files in case of those unexpected situations. \u0000This research project employed the Agile Software Development Methodology to develop an Online Project Monitoring System that can be used by the university in the infrastructure development section to give them a much more organized project tracking, reviewing and regulating the progress in order to meet the performance objectives of each project across the university. The system aims to help the institution to digitize the printed records of projects in the university in an organized manner and stored securely in a database system. The researcher adapted the ISO/IEC 25010 criteria as an evaluation tool to assess the system’s functional suitability, performance efficiency, compatibility, usability, reliability, security, maintainability, and portability. \u0000The assessment and evaluation results of the system indicates that the PMDSS passed and conformed with the standard software quality requirements and met all the end-users expectation and objectives that will greatly help them in monitoring of projects and making them more productive.

Criticisms and reviews challenge literature to its stand accordingly to what it desires to project. People thought that all literary works is a fine expression of values, innocence and a mirror on how the society formed; literary development carries an expression easing a picture to stand out and unconsciously builds exaggeration and lack of consideration. Children, as commonly the basic target audiences of every child literature are a body that need to be considered upon publishing a certain literary piece because of stages and the type of interpretation they may develop and embrace upon reading a certain issue on the extent of literary genres who happened to unconsciously published an issue of obscenity, violence, offenses in language, and profanity in the selected children’s literature. The hard core of this study is to project critical theories of today to assess and provide solutions for literary troubles. However, to further understand the concept of censorship and expurgation, the study will be using the formalistic approach, stylistic approach, sociological approach which drives by Social Interactionist Theory which accounts to examine the fundamental role of social interaction in the development of cognition as he believed that community plays a central role in the process of making meaning. Psychoanalytic criticism as used pertains on how the language in literary pieces influenced the language development of young readers as perceived in the contact between young readers and the books as studied in the Theory of Imitation. The Speech Act Theory is an attempt of the study that examines the subfield of pragmatics concerned with the ways in which wordscan be used not only to present information but also to carry out actions and this could be assessed by the levels of action at which utterances are said to perform.
