The head teacher's (hereinafter to be written HT) role is to foster a positive learning environment, essential for high-quality education. This qualitative research examined strategies used by HTs in three high schools in the Manzini region of Eswatini to promote effective behaviour management. One-on-one interviews were conducted with HTs from Mavalela (MV), Sidlamafa (SD), and Lomawa (LM) high schools, using pseudonyms for confidentiality. The analysis is based on the Transformational Leadership and Rogers’ Decisive Discipline Model frameworks, which explain leadership strategies and insights for creating respectful learning environments. Findings indicate that HTs prioritize respect, adherence to school policies, attendance, accountability for learner behaviour, teacher training, parental involvement, and providing necessary resources for teachers.

This community service aims to develop students' writing literacy. The main focus of this service is training in effective sentence writing and the application of punctuation. This writing training involved 15 MPI students of the Faculty of Islamic Religion, Islamic University of Balitar Blitar. The training was held for 2 meetings within 1 full day in November 2024. The training in writing scientific papers and journals for students of the Faculty of Islamic Religion (FAI) Unisba includes several stages, namely pretest (writing papers), identification of academic vocabulary, analysis of scientific sentence structure, analysis of the use of punctuation, intensive practice in the preparation of vocabulary, sentences, and punctuation marks according to academic rules, and posttest (writing papers or journals). This activity is carried out in groups and individuals by applying learning strategies and media that are interesting and relevant to the academic needs of students. After participating in the training (posttest), 80% of students were able to reach a proficient and proficient level in writing scientific papers and journals. These results show a significant increase compared to the achievement before the training (pretest), where 73% of students were only able to reach the basic level.  Based on these results, it is recommended to the Faculty of Islamic Religion Unisba to intensify the academic literacy training program, especially in writing scientific papers and journals. Students who have the potential to excel in academic writing need to continue to hone their skills through continuous coaching, while students who still need special assistance can be given additional programs to improve the quality of their skills.

This research is motivated by the challenges in facial identification for forensic investigations due to poor image quality, especially from low-resolution CCTV recordings. Images with noise, low lighting, and suboptimal angles often hinder accurate facial recognition. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (ESRGAN) method in enhancing the quality of forensic facial images. The methodology consists of three main stages: data preparation of low-resolution facial images, applying the ESRGAN model to enhance image resolution, and evaluating the results using metrics such as PSNR and SSIM. The findings reveal that ESRGAN significantly improves the visual details of facial images, thereby supporting better facial identification processes. These results have important implications for leveraging deep learning technology to facilitate image analysis in forensic contexts. However, challenges such as extreme noise presence require further development of methods to achieve more optimal outcomes.

This study aims to analyze the impact of workload and role conflict on burnout in students of the Recognitive Learning of Past (RPL) program of the University of UKI. Burnout, a condition of mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion, can have a significant impact on the academic performance of RPL students who have generally had work experience. Using a quantitative approach, the study involved a sample of 66 RPL students selected through cluster sampling. The data is collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed using the double linear regression method. The results of the t test showed that the workload had a significant influence on burnout with a t count value of 9,252 > 1,669 t tables. Similarly, the conflict of roles proved to have a significant impact on burnotes with the t count of 11,392 > 1,669 t tabels. These findings indicated that both independent variables had a strong positive influence upon burnout, with the role conflict showing a greater influence. The results of this study emphasize the importance of workload management and role conflict resolution in the context of RPL education to prevent burnout, improve student academic success and improve the quality of work.
