INFLUENCE OF FAMILY DYNAMICS ON STUDENTS’ BEHAVIOR: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
Family dynamics impact comfort and happiness. 801 students were surveyed using a descriptive correlational study and 0.897-reliable researcher-made questionnaire. The study found that open communication, quality time, respect, responsibility, and supporting a peacemaker during tough times strengthened family ties. Parental honesty and dependability were closest. Most families have money and work-life issues. Number of children, family members' traits, parents' connection, and gentle or hard upbringing affected family dynamics. Family relationships are less impacted by the "mix" of people in a family, others' influence, and life events such an affair, divorce, trauma, unemployment, homelessness, an absent parent, or a chronically ill or disabled child Spending meals with the family, feeling like their family supports their objectives, enjoying family activities, feeling like they would still prefer growing up in their family, and asking their parents for help were most essential. Being closer to extended family than their own, mediating rather than leading healthy family relations, and seeking professional family help were the least common. Family issues should be matched with academic chances, says study. They value family, self-drive, and academics. Reclaiming a habit garnered family support, but downplaying the risk to their schooling and addressing cultural differences in extended families that may create problems was neglected. Family dynamics shaped students' behavior, including prioritizing family needs and interests over personal matters, showing concern for parents and other family members, offering support in any way possible, solving family problems, using a strength-based approach to help family members cope with difficult situations, responding to family-related comments, and trusting Minor issues reduce sibling strife. They use family strengths to tackle problems. Though connected, family factors like sex and money affected student behavior differently at home and school. A number of traits and ties were similar.

FAMILY SUPPORT AND MENTAL HEALTH OF CASE STUDENTS
Family support encompasses financial and moral support provided by parents or guardians to their children. The financial and moral support can help students against the stressors and challenges they face during their educational journey. Some students travel to the city for academic advancement. They need to leave the comfort of their homes, and be separated from their families, but they must do so in order to fulfill their dreams. There are also students who do not need to stay in boarding houses since they live close to the school. The mental well-being of students is also significantly impacted by family support. Strong family support and positive relationships connects to better mental health state. However, a lack of family support may leave students feeling excluded and frustrated. They cannot focus on their studies, and it may lower their self-acceptance, and makes them feel uncomfortable working with others or having negative connections with others. The central focus of this study was to determine the extent of family support and mental health of CASE students of Colegio de la Purisima Concepcion for the school year 2023-2024. The specific purpose of the study was to find answers to the following: extent of family support of the respondents in terms of financial and moral support when they are taken as a whole; level of mental health of the respondents in terms of self-acceptance and relationship with others when they are taken as a whole; significant difference in the extent of family support of the respondents who reside at home and those who reside in boarding houses and course enrolled; significant difference in the level of mental health of the respondents who reside at home and those who reside in boarding houses and course enrolled; and to determine the relationship between family support and mental health of the respondents. The participants of the study were identified as the officially enrolled College of Arts, Sciences and Education (CASE) students of Colegio de la Purisima Concepcion in the first semester of academic year 2023-2024. The respondents of the study were the identified fifty-six (56) out of one hundred eleven (111) CASE students. The research team employed a descriptive correlational method along with the researcher-made questionnaire for this investigation. The questionnaire was made up of three parts: Part 1 – information on the respondents’ home location which was limited to reside at home and reside in a boarding house; Part 2 - statement on the extent of family support; and Part 3 - statement on the level of mental health. The questionnaire was validated by a panel of experts and was tested for reliability before it was distributed to the respondents. The gathered data were tabulated and analyzed using non parametric statistical methods, such as descriptive statistics, Wilconxon test correlation coefficient and one sample t-test for differences, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann Whitney U Test. The findings of the study show that the respondents have a high level of family support in terms of financial and moral aspects. The result on financial support indicates that students are well supported in their tuition fees; they are provided with their daily allowance; their family ensures that they have enough money for their school projects; and they are provided with extra allowances for extracurricular activities. The result on moral support indicates that students received encouragements from family members to study well and to achieve their set goals; family members help them solve problems encountered at school; family members compliment them for good performance at school; they are given full support when they join in school activities. Findings of the study in relation to the level of mental health of the respondents in terms of self-acceptance and relationship with others reveal a high result. The result on self-acceptance reveals that the respondents are proud of their achievements; they accept their mistakes; they are aware of their strengths and weaknesses; they follow their passion with determination; and they hold on to their values and principles. In terms of relationship with others the respondents stressed that they care and are willing to help others in need; respect others’ opinions; value their relationships with others; can work with others; and collaborate with others. The results on the extent of family support considering the home location and course enrolled by the respondents fail to establish a significant difference. Furthermore, the analysis of data on the level of mental health considering the home location and course enrolled by the respondents indicates a no significant difference result. Furthermore, there is no significant relationship between the extent of family support and level of mental health of the respondents.
Closed-Loop Sustainability: Leveraging Canteen Food Waste for Maggot Cultivation and Decorative Fish Feeding in an Automotive Spare Parts Manufacturing Facility in Bekasi, Indonesia
An automotive spare parts manufacturing plant in Bekasi Regency, Indonesia, has created a closed-loop sustainability project to address the essential issue of food waste management. With a canteen that serves 3,500 employees every day, the facility creates a lot of food waste, which has traditionally caused environmental and financial problems. The activity-integrated approach highlights the potential for novel waste management strategies to promote sustainability in industrial settings. The research frequently treats waste management and resource production (such as decorative fish ponds) as distinct domains, with a scarcity of studies focusing on sustainability practices within facilities catering to large employee populations with internal systems (such as canteens) that generate significant waste. As a result, it closes the gap by offering a case study of how an internal waste stream. The major goal is to create and execute a closed-loop system that converts food waste into a useful resource, maggots, for feeding decorative fish. Similarly, examine the economic benefits of eliminating the need for commercially supplied fish feed, as well as the environmental impact of decreasing food waste through an integrated waste management approach. This study employs a case study technique to analyze the deployment and consequences of a closed-loop sustainability system at an automotive spare parts manufacturing facility. The method provides for a thorough analysis of the procedures, obstacles and triumphs that come with repurposing food waste for maggot cultivation and fish feeding. The adoption of the closed-loop system successfully diverted a significant volume of food waste from the canteen, decreasing the environmental impact of typical trash disposal methods. Furthermore, the project resulted in significant cost savings by eliminating the need to buy commercial fish feed. As a result, the closed-loop technology helped to reduce the facilities overall carbon footprint by reducing waste and the requirement for externally supplied feed ingredients, which generally demand significant resources to produce and deliver. The discovery establishes a feasible approach for deploying closed-loop sustainability systems in industrial settings. It demonstrates how merging waste management and resource generation can improve sustainability while reducing operational expenses. Furthermore, demonstrated financial benefits, such as cost savings and potential profitability, can pique the interest of industry stakeholders for sustainable and economically viable solutions. The study also emphasizes the environmental benefits of reducing waste and reducing reliance on commercially produced feed, which contributes to a lower carbon footprint and reduces the environmental impact of manufacturing processes. Finally, the effort contributes to the company's CSR profile, demonstrating a commitment to environmental stewardship and appropriate resource management, which improves the companies reputation and employee morale.
