Proposed design of sports arena at Tapaz, Capiz
Get PDFAbstract onlyIn the heart of the community, where the aspirations of young athletes burn brightest, lies the vision of a sanctuary—a Sports Arena that transcends the boundaries of mere structure. As Tapaz continues to emerge as one of the leading municipalities in Capiz, the need for a vital incubator for young athletes has never been more pressing. This Sports Arena will serve as an essential environment for growth, addressing the current lack of a unified venue for the three most-played sports and a limited training facility in the municipality. It will also stand as a community anchor, fostering a shared sense of purpose and empowering the youth to reach their fullest potential. The Sports Arena includes sports courts for basketball, volleyball, and badminton, and various function rooms under the bleachers of the upper ground floor. The sports arena's structural, electrical, plumbing, geotechnical, and architectural designs all adhered to accepted codes and standards. Green building technology was also incorporated, such as rainwater collection system and LED lights to save energy and reduce power costs. The proposed structure, with a floor area of 3,951.25 square meters, is expected to be constructed within 280 construction-days at an estimated cost of PHP 116,414,103.25, funded by the Local Government Unit of Tapaz. Moreover, in order to verify the results of the geotechnical investigation, it is recommended to perform a soil penetration test and the cost estimates should be reviewed and updated to reflect current material pricing.Include bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Civil Engineerin

The processing and concentration of neem leaf (Azadirachta indica L.) essential oil against Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from Philippine native chicken
Get PDFAbstract onlyPseudomonas aeruginosa resistance to antibiotics results in high risks of infection in both humans and poultry. Neem leaf (Azadirachta indica L.) poses different active compounds that have antimicrobial properties. This study determines the antimicrobial processing of NLEO using the 60°C water bath temperature of the vacuum-rotary evaporator, the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC), zone of inhibition (ZOI), and level of concentration according to potency. The results of the study showed that the production of NLEO is at an appropriate temperature. The produced NLEO assessed through MIC after 24 hours of post-exposure revealed that 100% NLEO concentration has the highest mean percentage (86.08%). In addition to this, establishing the appraisal level of concentration of NLEO revealed that upon 72 hours post-exposure, treatments with 85% to 100% NLEO concentration had a wider ZOI. Furthermore, after 72 hours of post-exposure, the antimicrobial potency of NLEO against Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed potency and was in an acceptable range of 60% to 150%. Thus, NLEO can act as an alternative to controlling Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from Philippine native chicken.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Agricultur

The effectiveness of using a yellow highlighter on memory retention
Get PDFAbstract onlyHighlighting with highlighter pens was widely used by students as an essential aid for learning. In the study, researchers described the respondents based on the demographic variable sex. Researchers also determined memory retention in both experimental and control conditions and identified significant differences in memory retention in both groups. The participants were first-year BS Psychology students who were enrolled in a Higher Education Institution, with the purpose of contributing to past research studies on the use of yellow highlighters to retain information better. The researchers utilized a within-subjects design for quantitative-experimental research. A random sampling method was used to gather the names of 117 participants out of a total population of 166 students. The participants undergo two conditions: the controlled condition (without the use of a highlighter) and the experimental condition (with the use of a highlighter), with a two-week gap in between. Participants were given reading material and a fill-in-the-blanks testing material for the experiment. Descriptive statistics including percentage, mean, and standard deviation were employed. For inferential statistics, a paired-samples t-test with a .05 significance level was used. Results indicated a significant difference between the conditions with a p-value of .000, supporting the rejection of the null hypothesis. Effect size was determined by using Cohen's d, with a result of -.0014, which was interpreted as a little effect size. The means of the control condition (M=5.38) and the experimental condition (M=7.50) indicated that participants performed better when they used a yellow highlighter. The findings suggested that using a yellow highlighter can contribute to an individual’s memory retention.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Psycholog
