Abstract
To ensure students achieve timely and satisfactory graduation, it's essential to assess their future performance based on ongoing academic records and implement instructional interventions. Within the educational context, students fall into two categories: regular and irregular, each governed by distinct academic regulations. Regular students follow a predetermined curriculum, which provides a clear path to graduation and enhanced access to required courses, facilitating efficient progress toward degree completion. On the other hand, irregular students encounter challenges such as disruptions and delays, necessitating additional time and support to fulfill degree requirements. Guiding both regular and irregular students and improving their study plans require appropriate guidance and academic intervention. To address the existing research gap, this study presents a Criteria-based Recommender Platform for Achieving Optimal Time-to-Graduation Utilizing a Backward Chaining Algorithm. This platform automatically generates a personalized study plan by considering predefined criteria and parameters, enabling students to evaluate the timeline for completing their degree program. By leveraging the backward chaining algorithm, the platform's predictive model captures intricate relationships and dependencies within the data, providing valuable insights and predictions. This adaptive approach continuously refines predictions based on new data, enhancing accuracy and utility in guiding decision-making processes related to study plan generation.

Abstract
In the context of higher education, ensuring timely and successful graduation for students is a pivotal objective, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of their academic performance and tailored interventions. Evaluating ongoing academic records is crucial for effective pedagogical interventions, but limited research on student performance in completing degrees has introduced challenges. To address these, academic institutions are adopting flexible curricula designs, prompting the need for diverse course offerings. Amidst this, two student categories emerge: regular and irregular, each presenting unique challenges. A Rule-Based Suggestion Platform for Academic Program Completion was conceptualized, designed, developed, and rigorously evaluated through the use of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). This innovative platform, which harnesses the power of rule-based decision-making, was created to address the intricate challenges surrounding students' timely and successful program completion within the academic landscape. The platform's underlying architecture and functionality were crafted to provide students with personalized and optimized recommendations, guiding them towards informed decisions in shaping their educational journey. The development process involved the integration of advanced rule-building mechanisms, enabling the system to analyze individual student profiles, academic progress, and program requirements. This data-driven approach empowers the platform to generate customized study plans that not only consider the students' academic ambitions but also adhere to predefined constraints and parameters.

Ensuring students' timely and satisfactory graduation requires evaluating their future performance based on ongoing academic records and implementing pedagogical interventions. Within an educational context, students can be categorized as regular or irregular, each subject to distinct academic rules. Regular students follow a predetermined curriculum, enjoying a clear path to graduation and improved access to required courses, facilitating efficient progress toward degree completion. Conversely, irregular students face challenges such as disruptions and delays, necessitating additional time and support to meet degree requirements. Guiding both regular and irregular students and enhancing their study plans requires proper guidance and academic intervention. To bridge the existing research gap, this study introduces a Decision-based Recommendation System towards Program Completion Using Forward Chaining Algorithm. This system automatically generates a study plan by considering defined constraints and parameters, enabling students to assess the term and year of their degree program completion. Leveraging the forward chaining algorithm with fuzzy IF-THEN-ELSE rules, the system's predictive model captures intricate relationships and dependencies within the data, yielding valuable insights and predictions.

Abstract
The assessment of students' academic performance based on ongoing records plays a vital role in enabling timely interventions for successful graduation. Variances in degree program completion times emphasize the need to tailor subjects and courses to individual student requirements. However, limited research exists on student degree completion, presenting challenges related to diverse student backgrounds, information gaps in courses, and accommodating evolving progress in predictions. Educational institutions are adapting flexible curricula, necessitating a diverse range of courses and informed decision-making for academic planning. Structured course sequences in universities ensure a gradual buildup of knowledge and skills, aiding students in tackling more complex subjects progressively. A decision-based recommendation system for predicting graduation time was developed and evaluated using the ISO/IEC 25010 Software Quality Model. This model included parameters like functionality, performance, compatibility, usability, reliability, security, maintainability, and portability. Each parameter was assessed to ensure the system's functionality, performance optimization, cross-platform compatibility, user-friendliness, reliability, security, ease of maintenance, and adaptability to different environments. Through this evaluation, the system's quality and efficacy were comprehensively validated, confirming its ability to achieve intended objectives and meet user requirements.

Abstract
Getting a certification is one of the most complicated academic journeys for students in the world of technology. Industry certification has evolved into a distinct worldwide industry. The certification is an examination to evaluate students’ technical knowledge and competency in their chosen areas. Students and recent graduates pursue certification because it gives them an advantage in the job market and allows them to concentrate on relevant, meaningful, and in-demand computing subjects. Giving students the best academic support is essential to help them pass a certification exam evaluating their knowledge in courses. The goal of this study was to create a certification reviewer-based system that would let the reviewee provide a platform for review so that appropriate academic interventions could be automatically given before the examination process. The paper has applied the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to various information systems. The paper used the Rapid Application Development Model to develop the reviewer-based system. Document analysis, survey questions, and focus group conversations were used to gather the data. The validated survey questionnaire was administered to students, instructors, and practitioners during the School Year 2021-2022. The three groups of respondents were purposively selected as they complied with the requirements of the study. The data was analyzed quantitatively using the frequency distribution, weighted mean, and one-way variance analysis of variance.

Abstract
Emergency response is a crucial method for saving lives because the Philippines is one of the nation that is most vulnerable to disasters. Unexpected disasters happen all the time. The survival of those who were immediately impacted by a disaster depends on what happens in the initial hours after the accident. Even a minute difference in emergency response time has the potential to save or cost lives. Through this, the researchers were able to implement Dijkstra’s method to show the shortest paths in an application for emergency response. The ideas are organized in a way that suggests potential paths that first responders could take to locate victims. This article outlines a step-by-step process for choosing the optimum approach. Agile methodology was employed by the researchers when creating the application. The respondents gave the system a 4.52 out of 5 rating on the basis of the ISO 9126 evaluation tool, with a ‘Very Acceptable’ interpretation result. Thus, the system is now prepared for deployment.

International Journal of Scientific & Technology Research, (2020), Vol. 9, No. 4, pp. 1318-1322

Journal Article | Published: January 1, 2020

Abstract
Blood banking is the process of collecting, separating and warehousing blood. There are numerous file-based repositories of blood bank management that exist for storing data for blood bank ecosystem such as hospitals and centers. This functions for maintaining the information of donors, availability of blood, and transaction information. Currently, these systems are effort intensive, costly, and failed to achieve efficiency in terms of its filtering mechanism which makes repository penetrating faster and reliable. This paper introduces a new design for blood banking ecosystem with proper filtering solution using frame-based approach. The system has three major features: (1) blood camp setup module, (2) stocks management module which includes the blood donation and blood releasing, and (3) the filtering system module which shows the nearest blood camp with the available blood type based on the patients’ needs. Also, with the use of frame-based approach as filtering method, the system is more efficient and reliable compared to other blood banking repository systems. The system’s functionality was tested for its efficiency, usability, and reliability and the results are revealed in the survey. Conclusions and future work were also provided in this paper.

International Journal of Scientific & Technology Research, (2020), Vol. 9, No. 4, pp. 2236-2238

Journal Article | Published: January 1, 2020

Abstract
The blockchain phenomena is no longer about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, it is beyond a common protocol to make it nearly impossible to create fraudulent transaction. Blockchain based architecture overall performance is subjected to storage expenses with high computational cost. This paper designed a new consensus protocol for Blockchain using Content Addressable Pattern with the adaptation of modified SHA256 algorithm. Although government, business and other entities interest of adapting blockchain to their processes, the complexity issues and operational cost is still a challenge to date. With the newly design consensus protocol the process of validating the transaction that involves tedious mining or solving cryptographic puzzles has been eliminated and move towards using signature to authenticate the transaction. Concatenation of all these elements is a generated hash value using modified SHA256. Since the hash is secured, the transaction is secured. Thus, the implementation of off-chain chanel instead of global consensus addresses the complexity and high computational cost of blockchain technology.
