Efficiency Analysis of the Community Health Programs of the Partido District in the Philippines
The study assessed the efficiency of the community health programs (CHPs) of the Partido District. It surveyed the incidence of primary health problems that confronted the rural health unit (RHU) and estimated the budget allocation of the local government unit (LGU) on the CHP. It traced the remuneration scheme, services rendered, and work-related background of the barangay/village health worker (BHW). It utilized survey, key informant interview and written document analysis in gathering data. To assess efficiency, the Data Envelopmental Analysis (DEA) was used where the ten municipalities of the district were considered as Decision-Making Units (DMU). The top health problems were malnutrition, tuberculosis and tropical diseases. The LGU’s annual budget for health was PhP0-30,000. Most BHWs rendered blood pressure monitoring and house visitation. They worked four times a month and covered one zone. A few were accredited BHW and all had no civil service eligibility. Their pay was way below the legal minimum wage. Based on the DEA calculation, the efficiency was relatively higher in three municipalities – Lagonoy, Caramoan and Garchitorena. However, these were also the municipalities which allocated small amount of funds and resources on health, including compensation for BHW. The study posited that the high efficiency level may be at the expense of the CHP workforce
Robumbero: Smart Firefighting Robot
This study aimed to develop a fire-fighting robot called Robumbero. This smart fire-fighting robot can be operated automatically or manually using a remote control. It can extinguish fires at an early phase without the actual presence of the firefighters and without exposing one’s self to the danger of fire. It is equipped with an ABC fire extinguisher, and sensors to detect fire and obstructions. It also has a camera that allows users to have a real-time view of the robot’s surroundings for easy manipulation. The robot’s overall performance was assessed using a descriptive research method. It was evaluated by the twenty students and employees from Don Honorio Venture State University, BFP and ten engineers. The data obtained were analyzed and it was revealed that the robot has met all the criteria of ISO25010 and that its overall performance can be deemed efficient and effective
Development and Performance Evaluation of Papaya Shredding and Squeezing Machine for Small-Scale Atchara Producers
The major goal of this research was to design and build a papaya shredding and squeezing equipment for small-scale atchara (pickle) producers in Batangas. The research followed the CDIO methodology, addressing knowledge, technical, and software needs in the conception and design phases, followed by hardware considerations in the implementation phase. The final machine included a shredding chamber, a squeezing component, and a control system, and it outperformed current machines in terms of shredding and squeezing efficiency. The research found the best input loads and operating speeds for the shredder and squeezer, resulting in a significant reduction in processing time. The squeezing time was determined to be more than three times faster than existing equipment, but the shredding efficiency beat standard grating machines significantly. Food safety tests revealed that the finished product was free of E. Coli and Salmonella bacteria that fulfill quality criteria. The successful construction of an efficient, safe, and cost-effective papaya processing machine in this study answers a crucial need for small-scale atchara producers in Batangas, increasing production and product quality, which can assist the local food processing industry greatly
