Despite ongoing efforts to promote equity in higher education institutions (HEIs), economically disadvantaged learners often face systemic barriers that extend beyond the traditional classroom. While much of the existing research focuses on pedagogical reforms within formal instruction, there remains a critical gap in understanding how stakeholders' motivations and collaborative dynamics contribute to the creation of inclusive educational management practices and support systems outside the conventional learning space. This exploratory study addresses that gap by examining the motivations, experiences, and collaborative efforts of key stakeholders including academic personnel, students, parents, and community members in shaping responsive and accessible learning guidelines for economically challenged students in HEIs. Using purposive sampling, data will be collected from 25 participants through one-on-one semi-structured interviews. A reflexive thematic analysis approach will be employed to uncover emergent themes related to stakeholder engagement, shared responsibilities, and policy development. The study is expected to yield insights into the motivational drivers that prompt stakeholders to engage in educational support initiatives beyond classroom instruction. It also aims to identify effective collaborative practices and highlight systemic challenges faced during policy formation. The anticipated outcome is a set of practical recommendations for HEIs seeking to institutionalize stakeholder-informed, inclusive learning policies tailored to the needs of economically marginalized learners.

In this paper, we characterize the connected total dominating sets (CTDS) in graphs resulting from uniform network interactions. Moreover, we establish the polynomial representation of the resulting graph with respect to its CTDS and neighborhood systems. We have shown that the polynomial can be expressed as the product of a binomial expansion and exponential form.

A graph G is said to be cyclic if it contains a cycle. A cycle generated by S subset of V(G), which carries the adjacency property in G, is an induced cycle of G. In this study, we establish the explicit form of the polynomial representation of the number of cycles in the edge corona of two cyclic graphs.

The Fisheries Situationer Report of Philippine Statistics Authority (2017) reported that the total volume of production for fisheries decreased on the previous year. The decline is due to some areas which are affected by the sudden change of water quality that resulted in smaller sizes of harvests and causes fish kill. To sustain a good fish production, water quality must be monitored on a regular basis to ensure a sustainable good water quality and assess water quality to provide advice for the type of water treatment. Hence, this study designed and developed a real-time water quality monitoring system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) architecture. Assessment of water quality is also developed using fuzzy logic techniques. In fuzzy logic, Defining fuzzy sets, Knowledge-based rules design, inference process, and defuzzification were conducted. The results obtained in the design and development clearly suggests that with the proper selection of the microcontroller, appropriate instruments for the water parameters sensors, the water monitoring system can assess the aquaculture farmers in real-time water quality monitoring efficiently. The results obtained in the assessment of water quality clearly suggests that given the critical parameters for the water quality, proper membership function shape and overlapping in fuzzification, appropriate inference engine, fuzzy rules and defuzzification methods, a Fuzzy Logic is a viable assessment technique for the water quality.

In this age of international trade and competition, the aquaculture industry needs to plan and implement a technology that will address issues concerning global food security. In modern aquaculture management, a remote water quality monitoring and computer-controlled intensive culture is the future trend in aquaculture. The objective of this research is to design and develop a real-time mobile-based water temperature monitoring system capable of decreasing the reliance on manpower at the monitoring site to reduce the cost and to assess fish production cycle and fish grow-out system. The system implementation resulted in a monitoring system that collects the current water temperature from the core-controller in real-time. Also, the system provides and displays information that includes normal range, maximum, minimum, average and findings of the collected temperatures. The results obtained in this study has shown the ability of data acquisition in the remote and real-time detection of water temperature accurately and efficiently. It provides decision support to help and guide fisher folks in avoiding distress to fish and obtaining the optimum water temperature range.
