This study aims to analyze the influence of environmental conditions and infrastructure on teacher performance mediated by motivation. Using quantitative methods with SEM-PLS analysis and involving 62 teachers as samples, the findings reveal that environmental conditions have a significant positive impact on teacher performance and motivation (p-value 0.000 < 0.05). Facilities and infrastructure also positively influence teacher performance and motivation (p-value 0.007 < 0.05). Motivation significantly enhances teacher performance (p-value 0.011 < 0.05). Furthermore, the work environment and infrastructure positively affect teacher performance through motivation in remote elementary schools of Bintang Ara District, Tabalong Regency</p>2025-02-11T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Tri Wibowo, Misransyah Akos, Irawanto https://journal.formosapublisher.org/index.php/melas/article/view/13828The Relationship between Financial Self-Efficacy and Financial Well-Being of College Students2025-02-11T02:21:28+00:00Glenn Bonie R.

Magaraog.elisan.547087@umindanao.edu.ph<p>This research explores the relationship between college students' financial well-being and financial self-efficacy, contributing to the understanding of how self-confidence in financial management influences overall financial health. A quantitative methodology was employed, utilizing an online survey distributed to 150 tertiary students through social media, with data collected on the two variables using Likert scales. The investigation revealed a moderate positive correlation (path coefficient of 0.348, p < 0.001) between the two constructs, indicating that Better financial well-being is linked to stronger financial self-efficacy. According to these results, increasing financial self-efficacy may help financial education initiatives aimed at students</p>2025-02-11T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Glenn Bonie R. Elisan, Aisa B.

Our research contains historical development, core Principles and how ideologies work in Indian politics. The Research methodology we use here is secondary study which is on existing scholarly literature, historical records, and case studies for the conclusion. The key findings from this research are that right-wing ideology is associated with Hindu nationalism, market- oriented economic policies and a strong government and the left-wing ideology is associated with secularism, social justice and state intervention in economic matters. This case study explores the differences between these ideologies, focusing on their historical developments, theoretical underpinnings, and implications for modern-day India</p>2025-02-11T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Tushar Gauswami, Hetanshi Limbad, Jignesh Vidanihttps://journal.formosapublisher.org/index.php/melas/article/view/13829Estimation of Above Ground Carbon Dioxide Sequestration in a Philippine University2025-02-11T02:28:36+00:00Ray Noel M.

Cruz Jrdwcmartinez@bpsu.edu.ph<p>In order to lessen the consequences of its carbon dioxide emissions during operations, this study attempts to evaluate the carbon sequestration capacity of trees at Bataan Peninsula State University-Main Campus using statistical and allometric equations. The university's trees were located, geotagged, and measured. The observations were converted into measurable above-ground biomass estimations using allometric formulae. The statistical linkages observed in tropical rainforests were used to construct future estimates. According to calculations, trees on university property emit between 327.67 and 680.533 tons of CO2. Furthermore, even the most optimistic projections indicate that the potential for sequestration in the ensuing 10 years was 1 metric ton annually. In comparison, prior to the pandemic, the university's total carbon emissions were 269.57 tons of CO2. Consequently, even if theIf the university's operating emissions didn't rise during the following ten years, only 1% of the carbon would be sequestered. To become a carbon-neutral institution, measures must be taken to increase carbon sequestration or decrease emissions. These initiatives include comprehensive and methodical solutions to energy usage, such as the installation of energy-assessment appliances, the transition to renewable energy, energy-use legislation, and alternate modes of transportation including promoting the use of ZEVs and active transportation</p>2025-02-11T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Ray Noel M.

Arateaarateamarko@gmail.com<p>After graduation, an English pre-service teacher will have to take the Licensure Examination for Teachers. Having a review session is helpful to prepare students with all the knowledge taught to them during their tertiary education. This study sought to compare the two majorship review sessions conducted in Gordon College for the integration course of the English pre-service teachers. The study used experimental research design, wherein mean distribution was utilized to identify average scores and paired sample t-test to know the significant difference. The study found that the two review session, both in language and literature competencies, is effective as the pre-service teachers progressed from Developing Proficient to Proficient. This implies sustaining and enhancing the in-house review course of the institution</p>2025-02-11T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Marko L. Aratea
