One of the increasing concept nowadays in ecommerce is social commerce. Social commerce is the buying and selling of goods and services through the use of social networking sites. In addition, social commerce primarily affects the millennials composed mostly of college students. This study was conducted to determine the characteristics of students in terms of age and sex and their relationship to the factors affecting the acceptance of social commerce. The factors were based on the User Acceptance of Technology: Towards Unified View. Facebook was considered as the platform of social commerce in this study. The questionnaire was answered by 100 respondents composed of Bachelor of Science in Information Technology and Bachelor of Science in Business Management. Descriptive statistics was used such as frequency count, percentage and mean to determine the characteristics of the participants and factors affecting social commerce acceptance. Pearson correlation was used to find the relationship between the characteristics and factors affecting social commerce acceptance of students in a State University.

<p><b>Background: </b>This article quantitatively presents the relationship between volume of BME publications produced from 1990 to 2019 in the member states of the ASEAN and 12 indicators of overall and physical health. The objective was to show that ASEAN states that recognize BME as an academic and professional discipline have been successful in producing research in the field, and thus, have advanced the provision of high-quality healthcare for their people. </p> <p><b>Results: </b><i>Acceptable</i> relationships [Pearson correlation coefficients (PCC) > 0.6000] were found between BME publication volume and all indicators.

Brunei data behaved anomalously and was removed to check for any improvements in PCC. Indeed, PCCs for all indicators improved significantly upon exclusion of Brunei data [PCC > 0.8000 for six indicators (linear scale), PCC > 0.9000 for five indicators (log scale)]. These PCCs signify especially strong relationships between BME research yield and healthcare quality in a country. To visualize the relationships, BME publication volume was plotted against GDP per capita, while the remaining 11 indicators were each plotted against BME publication volume. Linear, logarithmic, and exponential regression curves were overlaid on the datapoints. Coefficients of determination (R<sup>2</sup>) were calculated to measure the aptness of the fits.

The study assessed the relationship between the factors affecting the academic achievement of the dean’s listers’ of Caraga State University. It involves the total population of the dean’s listers in the said university. The independent variables are those pre-determined factors’ affecting the academic achievement of the dean’s listers’ of Caraga State University and the dependent variable is the grades of the dean’s listers’. The result shows the low relationship between the pre-determined factors and the academic achievement evidenced by the values of the p-values which are greater than. In terms of the academic achievement of the dean’s listers’ their grades signify their excellence in their different chosen fields. With regards to the pre-determined factors, the factor that got the highest mean is the teachers’ competence with 3.7639 and the lowest one is the learning environment with 3.6690. The study habits’ got the second spot among the 4 factors followed by the learning styles. Based on Spearmen Correlation analysis in the data gathered, the results revealed that there is no significant relationship between the pre-determined factors and the academic achievement of the dean’s listers’ of Caraga State University. The p-values obtained are less than 0.05 for all the data set; which is accepting the null hypothesis. The results clearly depict that the students’ study habit, learning style teachers’ competence and the learning environment has no influence on the achievement reached by the dean’s listers’. On the other hand, it is still very important to make and to maintain these factors visible in the academic arena for better learning and for a better outcome. The absence of these factors might affect the performances of the students in Caraga State University.
