Abstract

Purpose: This study assessed the level of implementation of the National Drug Education Program (NDEP) and the extent of stakeholder engagement in the Barkada Kontra Droga (BKD) initiatives in Region XII. It also examined the relationship between these two components to support the development of continuity programs in school-based drug prevention. Methodology/approach: A descriptive-correlational design was employed using a validated, researcher-made questionnaire administered to 388 school heads and NDEP coordinators across eight divisions in Region XII. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and Spearman’s rank correlation. Results/findings: The NDEP was highly implemented across curriculum and instruction, co-curricular activities, teacher and staff involvement, parent education, and research evaluation. Stakeholder engagement in BKD was also reported to a great extent, particularly in implementation and campaign initiatives. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.68, p = 0.000) was found between NDEP implementation and stakeholder engagement. Conclutions: Greater NDEP implementation appears to support stronger stakeholder involvement in BKD initiatives. School-community collaboration remains central to sustaining preventive education. Limitations: The study was limited to school heads and NDEP coordinators and relied on self-reported data from a single time point. Future studies should include broader stakeholders and track long-term outcomes. Contribution: The study affirms the importance of strengthening implementation strategies to encourage broader participation in drug prevention efforts across schools and communities.

Abstract

Purpose: This research aims to examine the impact of academic stress on the psychological well-being of international students at Northeast Normal University. By analyzing stressors such as academic workload, language barriers, and cultural adjustments, the research seeks to understand how these factors contribute to anxiety and overall mental health. Methods: A quantitative correlational design was employed focusing on international students at Northeast Normal University, China. Using the Perception of Academic Stress (PAS) Scale and the Psychological Well-Being (PWB) Scale, data were collected from 80 respondents (40 males and 40 females) through a Google Form questionnaire. SPSS was used for descriptive, correlation, and regression analyses to determine the relationship between academic stress dimensions—academic expectation, examination, and self-perception—and psychological well-being. Results: The findings reveal that both academic stress and psychological well-being are moderately high among international students, with academic stress explaining 43.1% of the variance in psychological well-being. Self-perception emerged as the most significant predictor, emphasizing its critical role in stress management and mental health. No significant gender differences were found, but age showed a significant relationship with academic stress. Conclusion: Academic stress significantly affects the mental health of international students, with self-perception playing a vital role in coping. Institutions should prioritize interventions that enhance self-awareness and psychological resilience. Limitations: The study focuses on one institution with a limited sample, restricting generalizability. Contribution: The study offers empirical insights into academic stress predictors and supports universities in designing culturally sensitive mental health and academic support programs for international students.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the extent of acculturation and its relationship with the cultural practices of Manobo learners in Damulog, Bukidnon, focusing on assimilation, integration, and marginalization. Research methodology: A descriptive and correlational research design was used. The study utilized a researcher-made survey questionnaire administered to 300 Grade 10 Manobo learners across four secondary schools in the Damulog area of Bukidnon. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The study revealed that Manobo learners often experience acculturation in terms of assimilation, integration, and marginalization. Their cultural practices in the economic, social, political, and spiritual aspects were also evident. A moderate positive relationship was found between the extent of acculturation and the level of cultural practices among the learners, suggesting that higher levels of acculturation are associated with stronger cultural practices. These findings imply that acculturation influences how Manobo learners maintain their cultural heritage while adapting to new societal influences. Conclusions: Indonesia’s BRICS membership can bolster national defence and strategic autonomy if managed with diplomatic prudence. A balanced foreign policy is essential to leverage the advantages of BRICS while preserving partnerships with Western powers and the ASEAN allies. Investment in cybersecurity, military modernization, and defence diplomacy is crucial for long-term stability. Limitations: This study is limited to Grade 10 Manobo learners in Damulog, Bukidnon, and may not represent other Indigenous groups or age levels. Self-reported data may also introduce bias, and external factors, such as socioeconomic background, were not fully examined. Contribution: This study contributes to the understanding of how acculturation impacts the cultural practices of Indigenous learners, particularly in educational settings.

Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes the strategic implications of Indonesia’s membership in BRICS on national defense and security, focusing on its potential to strengthen military cooperation, diversify defense procurement, and enhance geopolitical positioning while navigating complex global alignments. Research methodology: This study employs a qualitative method using a literature review and secondary data analysis. These sources include policy documents from the Indonesian government, international reports, and academic publications related to BRICS, defense diplomacy, and global security dynamics. Descriptive and comparative analysis techniques were used to explore the strategic implications and potential shifts in Indonesia's foreign policy. Results: The study finds that BRICS membership offers Indonesia enhanced access to alternative funding via the New Development Bank, broader defense cooperation, and opportunities to modernize military capabilities through technology transfer. It also provides a platform for more assertive defense diplomacy. However, risks include potential diplomatic friction with Western allies, internal power asymmetries within BRICS countries, and challenges to Indonesia’s non-aligned foreign policy stance. Conclusions: Indonesia’s BRICS membership can bolster national defense and strategic autonomy if managed with diplomatic prudence. A balanced foreign policy is essential to leverage the advantages of BRICS while preserving partnerships with Western powers and ASEAN allies. Investment in cybersecurity, military modernization, and defense diplomacy is crucial for long-term stability. Limitations: This study relies solely on secondary data, limiting insights into internal policy dynamics and practical implementation. Contribution: It offers a strategic perspective on Indonesia’s BRICS engagement and its implications for defense diplomacy and national security.

Abstract

Purpose: This research aims to identify the most effective strategies for maintaining world peace in the midst of these threats. The research methodology employs a hybrid approach, utilizing both the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and surveys. Research methodology: The survey involved 60 respondents from academia, policymakers, and the public to understand their perceptions of nuclear threats and mitigation strategies. This study is based on the theory of international system stability, which emphasizes the importance of multilateral cooperation and arms control. Results: The findings indicate that the most effective strategy is international diplomacy, with alliance strengthening and defense modernization following closely. We identify geopolitical threats, particularly unilateral actions, as major risk factors and emphasize that controlling the spread of nuclear technology is more significant than disarmament. These findings emphasize the need for a multidimensional approach based on diplomacy, technology control, and multilateral cooperation to create sustainable world peace. Conclusions: International diplomacy is the most effective strategy to maintain world peace amid nuclear threats, supported by nuclear technology control and strategic alliances through a multidimensional, cooperative approach. Limitations: The study's findings are limited by a small, region-specific sample and potential subjectivity in the AHP and survey methods. Contribution: This study provides a strategic basis for global security policy in the face of increasingly complex nuclear challenges.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examined the level of implementation of the Child-Friendly School System (CFSS) in the three city divisions of SOCCSKSARGEN and its relationship with learners' well-being. This study aimed to determine whether the CFSS contributes to positive emotional and educational experiences among learners. Research methodology: Using a descriptive-correlational design, the study gathered data from 237 respondents, including teachers, child protection coordinators, guidance counselors, and SSLG advisers from selected large, medium, and small schools in General Santos City, Koronadal City, and Tacurong City. The data collection instruments were based on DepEd Order No. 44, s. 2015, and a validated learner well-being scale. The statistical tools used included the mean and Pearson's r. Results: The findings revealed a high level of CFSS implementation across schools, with the highest teacher morale and academic success ratings. Learners’ well-being was also rated moderately across five domains: engagement, perseverance, optimism, connectedness, and happiness. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.6058, p < 0.05) was found between CFSS implementation and learner well-being. Conclusions: Stronger CFSS implementation is linked to better learner well-being, highlighting the importance of supportive and inclusive school environments. Limitations: The findings are limited to selected public secondary schools in SOCCSKSARGEN and rely on self-reported data, which may reflect subjective perceptions of the respondents. Broader generalizations beyond this region should be approached with caution. Contribution: This study provides empirical support for the CFSS as a critical approach to promoting student well-being and positive school outcomes. It also highlights the importance of sustained involvement of stakeholders.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the effects of the hardiness (HD) factors- commitment (CM), control (CO), and challenge (CH) on key university-based outcome variables: learning performance (LP), quality of university life (QUL), and quality of life (QOL) among business undergraduates in Bangladesh. Additionally, this study aims to assess how these associations differ by gender. Methodology/approach: Data were collected from 384 undergraduate students across 32 private universities employing a structured questionnaire. This study employed partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine the relationships among components and necessary condition analysis (NCA) to identify the minimum levels of HD factors necessary for achieving target outcomes. Multi-group analysis (PLS-MGA) was conducted to estimate the effects of gender moderation. Results/findings: All three HD features significantly impacted LP, QUL, and QOL. Gender moderated specific relations, like CM to QOL, CO to QUL, and CH to QUL, while others showed no significant difference. NCA analysis determined that different HD variables are necessary to achieve the desired academic and life outcomes at varying levels. Conclusion: Hardiness significantly influences students’ learning performance, quality of university life, and overall life satisfaction. Integrating hardiness-enhancing strategies in university curricula can foster resilience and improve academic and life outcomes among undergraduates. Limitations: The investigation focused solely on private university undergraduate students in Dhaka city. It did not consider other personality trait variables or use advanced predictive techniques, like machine learning. Contribution: : This research extends the theoretical framework of hardiness by identifying its components’ net and necessary effects and highlighting gender-based differences.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims at investigating how partisan alignment, geopolitical affiliation, issue-based orientation, monetary inducement, and behavioural persuasion influence voting behaviour among Nigerian youth aged 18–35 in a transitional democracy context. Methodology/approach: A descriptive survey design of correlational type was adopted, using a validated structured questionnaire (six sections; reliability range r = 0.85–0.91). A stratified sample of 1,500 registered youth voters was drawn across Ondo, Oyo, and Osun States. Data were analysed with SPSS version 25 using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression at a 0.05 significance level. Results/findings: Positive significant relationships were found with partisan alignment (r = .206), geopolitical affiliation (r = .253), and behavioural persuasion (r = –.128). The composite model was significant (Adj. R² = .110). Only partisan alignment (? = .187), geopolitical affiliation (? = .256), and behavioural persuasion (? = –.081) were significant predictors. Conclusion: Youth voting behaviour in Southwestern Nigeria is shaped predominantly by partisan alignment, geopolitical affiliation, and behavioural persuasion, with issue-based orientation and monetary inducement showing no significant direct effect. These findings highlight the enduring influence of identity and persuasion in transitional democracies, despite growing discourse on issue-based politics. Limitations: The study was limited to Southwestern Nigeria and relied solely on quantitative self-reported data. Contribution: Findings are useful for political science, youth studies, electoral education, and governance policy, offering insights for strategies to enhance democratic participation and electoral integrity in transitional democracies.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates digital silence as a pragmatic strategy in online group chats during crisis situations, focusing on its cross-cultural functions and interpretations. Research methodology: Using a qualitative discourse-pragmatic framework, data were collected from 30 online group chats across Arabic-speaking, Western, and East Asian groups, and analyzed for patterns of silence. Results: Findings reveal that digital silence is universally used but culturally interpreted. In Arabic-speaking groups, silence often conveys politeness or emotional overwhelm; in Western contexts, it may suggest avoidance; and in East Asian cultures, it can indicate deference or restraint. Conclusions: Digital silence operates as a strategic communicative act shaped by cultural expectations. This study addressed three research questions. First, digital silence is used pragmatically in online group chats during crises to convey politeness, emotional regulation, resistance, and ambiguity. Second, it serves functions such as mourning, face-saving, strategic withdrawal, and deference. Third, these functions vary culturally: in Arabic-speaking contexts, silence often reflects solidarity and emotion; in Western groups, it can imply resistance or discomfort; and in East Asian settings, it demonstrates restraint and hierarchy. Limitations: The research is limited to group chats during specific types of crises, and findings may not generalize to all online interactions. Contribution: This study contributes to digital pragmatics and intercultural communication by illuminating the nuanced role of silence in crisis discourse.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the socio-philosophical significance of reading culture in shaping the spirituality and public consciousness of youth. It emphasizes how reading contributes to the development of moral values, critical thinking, and social cohesion in the face of digital influences. Methodology/approach: The study employs qualitative philosophical inquiry supported by historical-philosophical analysis, content analysis, and comparative cultural methods. The arguments are substantiated through literature review and theoretical contributions from classical and contemporary scholars Results/findings: The findings indicate that reading culture plays a strategic role in instilling qualities such as kindness, compassion, honesty, and intellectual maturity among young individuals. It strengthens social values, encourages moral autonomy, and counters the negative impacts of digital media on spiritual growth. Reading culture emerges as a fundamental catalyst for cultural continuity and social progress. Conclusions: Reading culture not only enhances individual consciousness but also fosters spiritual resilience and ethical awareness, which are essential in maintaining generational value systems and national identity. It functions as a bridge between tradition and modernity in the moral development of youth Limitations: The study is primarily theoretical and philosophical in nature, lacking empirical validation through quantitative or longitudinal data on youth behavior and reading habits. Contribution: This research enriches the discourse on social philosophy by positioning reading culture as a dynamic subsystem within societal development. It advocates for policy and educational reforms that reinforce reading as a tool for spiritual and moral formation.
