The Document Route Recording System is an intervention tool developed by Information Technology to uplift the present processes of transferring documents to various units in Philippine universities motivated by the problems that the researchers have identified in this study. The software was developed through the inspiration of the modified Waterfall model and provides three major modules: Route Creation, Acknowledgement, and Tracking, bundled as one software package. To evaluate the effectiveness of the Document Route Recording System, the ISO 25010:2015 Software Quality Instrument was utilized, and results interpreted through the descriptive research design illustrate that the objectives of the study were met effectively as all the respondents’ conclusions on quality characteristics of the software were interpreted as “Very High”. To fulfill its potential impact on the organizations, the researchers recommend fully implementing the platform to resolve the identified problems in the present system’s processes and procedures. Moreover, it is recommended for future researchers to improve and apply modern frameworks to foster further technological solutions and expand potential scope and features.

Pneumonia is a major cause of childhood illness and death, and chest X-rays remain the most accessible diagnostic tool. Differentiating bacterial from viral pneumonia, however, is difficult because of overlapping radiographic patterns. This study explores MobileNet architectures combined with Grad-CAM visualization to provide efficient and interpretable pneumonia classification. The main contribution of this research is to demonstrate that MobileNet combined with Grad-CAM not only produces accurate predictions but also highlights radiologically meaningful regions of the lungs, thereby improving transparency and trust in automated diagnosis. A dataset of 5,842 pediatric chest X-rays from Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center was used, including bacterial, viral, and normal cases. MobileNet and MobileNetV2 were trained with stochastic gradient descent, categorical cross-entropy, 20 epochs, and batch size of 32, and validated through 10-fold cross-validation. Grad-CAM was applied to generate heatmaps for model interpretability. Results indicated that MobileNet outperformed MobileNetV2. MobileNet achieved 79.32% accuracy, 81.02% precision, 78.15% recall, 77.82% F1-score, and 89.49% specificity. Its AUC-ROC reached 94.64% (macro) and 90.52% (micro). MobileNetV2 obtained 76.44% accuracy, 74.45% F1-score, and 93.61% macro AUC-ROC. Grad-CAM confirmed that both models attended to pneumonia-related lung regions, with MobileNet producing sharper localized activations and MobileNetV2 showing broader patterns. In conclusion, MobileNet with Grad-CAM provides an accurate, efficient, and interpretable framework for pneumonia detection, making it suitable for deployment in resource-limited clinical settings.

Background: The development of modern organization emphasizes the importance of accurate and comprehensive business process models (BPMs). BPMs serves to provide clear work standards for business actors. Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is widely used to model and analyse business processes. However, BPM models in practice often contain missing or inconsistent control-flow links, which reduce model correctness and limit effective analysis. Existing BPM retrieval approaches mainly focus on similarity measurement and provide limited support for explicit missing-link reconstruction. Objective: This study aims to propose a repository-driven approach to detect and reconstruct missing control-flow links in BPMN models while preserving computational efficiency and explainability. Methods: This study employs a quantitative experimental methodology on the use of an application called Repolink., a graph-based technique that transforms BPMN models into directed graphs and computes structural similarity values using Graph Edit Distance combined with semantic weighting. A query BPMN model is compared against a repository of reference BPMN models to identify structural inconsistencies. Missing links are detected using adjacency comparison supported by forward and reverse mappings. Results: The results show that Repolink can detect and reconstruct missing control-flow links in various BPMN structures, including branching and loop-related patterns. It is also able to significantly generate efficient retrieval with an overall time complexity of , where is the number of nodes and is the number of repository models. Compared to existing methods, Repolink provides higher explainability by explicitly reporting missing edges. Conclusion: Repolink effectively supports missing-link reconstruction in BPMN models through a repository-driven and explainable approaches. While the method focuses on structural analysis rather than full behavioural semantics, it offers a practical solution for BPMN conformance checking and model debugging.

Data serves as backbone to the operation of a higher education institutions for more data-driven decision making, however with significant and volumes of data due to multiple commitments and engagements. The lack of centralized data source for quick insights still exists caused by scattered and unprocessed data across different offices. The increasing demand for rapid and accurate reporting in HEIs motivated the researchers to adapt the latest computing tools towards sustainability of goals leading to data visualization. In this study, the researchers devised an interactive dashboard focusing on accessibility, low-cost, and specific in the context of an HEI that is connected to various dataset sources and aggregated using Google Looker Studio. While other dashboards exists, the novelty of practical application of the platform for developing a dashboard designed for HEIs focusing on the exploration of the unique and operational environment makes this study significant such that data fields and types were defined: calculated fields, selection of appropriate visualization types, dashboard layout, and interactivity. Results presents actionable insights offerings a clear picture of progress, challenges, and opportunities related to the goals particularly SDGs. Evaluation results were seen in the report that there are increase in the following: users average engagement time; the Platform measurement card yielding 100% that can be accessed through mobile and desktop; reaching 3 out of 10 ASEAN nations (including the Philippines) which shared their location while accessing the dashboard.

In today’s increasingly digital world, education is undergoing a significant transformation. Traditional teaching methods are being supplemented and, in some cases, replaced by innovative tools that promote more interactive and engaging learning experiences. However, in many rural and underserved areas, access to such resources remains limited. Teachers of four Elementary Schools in Buenavista, Guimaras faced the dual challenge of navigating limited digital infrastructure and the increasing demand to incorporate technology into their teaching practices. In addressing the challenge, a comprehensive training-workshop on the use of Canva, empowering teachers to create visually engaging and interactive learning materials was conducted using the Pre and Post Self-Assessment. Results revealed that 23 of 56 participants rated themselves to have No Knowledge or Skills and after the community service, the notable results manifest the none of the participants remain to have No Knowledge or Skills rather, 27 of 56 participants elevated to have Fair Knowledge or Skills in using the Canva Platform as Educational Technology. This result is evident that the Community of Educators continues to strive for the betterment of the Educational Landscape of the Nation.
