The said study also aims to investigate and identify students' experiences while working. They are starting at how difficult their situation. Next, the problems they encounter. Then, how they deal and cope with such difficulties. The purpose of this study is to investigate the experiences of working while studying. In this study, a qualitative study is used. It is a subjective report which made utilization of a phenomenological way to deal with accumulating important information. The method that is used in the process of making this part of the study is the Snowball technique. Based on the participants' responses on their perceptions on working while studying, it is confirmed that financial support, self-development and internal motivation to integrate theory and practice are among the driving forces of working while studying at university. The findings also show that the participants have happy feeling and good time management. Moreover, it shows that the effective ways of overcoming the problems they encounter is through good time management and self-reflection. The last research question intended to ask the participants their suggestions and recommendations for students who have similar condition. Among the suggestions are the students who decide to work while studying must be first of all committed and disciplined.

Mismanagement disturbs the academic achievements of learners. Time administration plays a significant role in improving learners' performance and accomplishments. It is a skill to manage time and every learner must familiar and command on this skill for the sake of better results. A student can only survive if he/she has ability of time utilization properly. The motive of this study was to establish path relationship of time management and academic achievement of students in distance learning institutions through structural equation modeling. The population of the study was consisted of distance learning students of Virtual and Allama Iqbal Open Universities. Four hundred participants belong to different departments were participated conveniently in this study. Self-developed questionnaires regarding time management and academic achievement on five point likert scale were used to collect data from respondents. Validity was ensured by field experts before using scales. Internal consistency was checked among items by applying Cronbach alpha, rho-a, and composite reliability for reliability confirmation of scales. All three techniques verified that instruments are valid and reliable. Data were analyzed by smartly for path analysis. There was strong positive relationship between time management and academic achievement r = .778 of distance learning students. It is concluded that both variables are associated with each other and time utilization skill affects students learning seriously. Students of web-based learning may more focus on proper time managing ability for better academic success.

This paper aims to contribute to this field of study by enabling machines to recognize emotion from facial electromyogram (EMG) signals. This includes a compilation of the groups attempt to recognize basic facial expressions namely happy, angry, and sad through the use of EMG signals from facial muscles. The group extracted features from the three EMG signals from the face of two human subjects, a male and a female, and analyzed these features to serve as feature templates. Using a minimum-distance classifier, recognition rates exceeded the target accuracy - 85 percent - reaching 94.44 percent for both the male and female subjects.
