Location tagging and pattern distribution of high value commodity crops using GIS mapping in Guimaras, Philippines
No full textAbstract onlyGeographic Information System (GIS) is an informative approach which allows us to visualize information in ways that reveal relationships and patterns in systems. Guimaras has been acknowledged to be a top producers of high value commodity crops namely; mango, cashew, and calamansi but on technological trends such as precision agriculture with the aid of GIS isn’t well introduced towards the said sector. Thus, the location tagging and determining the pattern distribution of high value commodity crops using GIS mapping in Guimaras was conducted. Identified high value commodity crops; calamansi, cashew, and mango plantations were located and land boundaries were determined. Using ArcGIS 10.5 a digitized map that displays the plotted locations in each municipality and farm’s relative distances was constructed. Average Nearest Neighbor Analysis (ANNA) was then used to determine the distribution of the plantations, determining if they are clustered, random, or dispersed. Results showed that 33 mango plantations in Jordan and 30 mango plantations in Buenavista were clustered, whereas 22 mango plantations in San Lorenzo and 23 mango plantations in Sibunag displayed a random dispersion, while 9 mango plantations in Nueva Valencia were randomly distributed. For cashew plantations, 3 plantations in Jordan, 5 plantations in Nueva Valencia, and 3 cashew plantations in Sibunag were random, whereas the rest have no record of cashew plantations. For the calamansi plantations, 14 plantations in Jordan and 44 plantations in Buenavista are clustered, while 22 plantations in San Lorenzo, 9 plantations in Nueva Valencia, and 23 plantations in Sibunag are clustered.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Agricultural and Biosystems Engineerin
Model analysis of the human resource crisis management among DOT-accredited hotels in Western Visayas, Philippines
Get PDFJournal articleThe study aimed to analyze and synthesize the human resource crisis management model adopted by DOT-accredited hotels in Western Visayas, Philippines. A predictive nonexperimental research design was used utilizing a researcher-made survey questionnaire to 67 managers representing the 67 DOT-accredited hotels in Western Visayas. Generally, the hotels have very good crisis management practices in pre-crises, during crises, and post-crisis, and the hotels’ human resource crisis management performance was rated very good, by the managers. No significant differences in the managers’ level of knowledge, skills, and attitude towards human resource crisis management when grouped by profile indicators while a significant difference in the hotels’ human resource crisis management in pre-crises when grouped by type of guests, specifically commercial and MICE guests. A strong positive correlation between the managers’ level of knowledge, skills, attitude, and the hotels’ human resource crisis management performance exists which indicates that when the knowledge, or skills are increased or when there is a more positive attitude, the hotel’s human resource crises management performance is expected to increase. The hotels’ pre-crisis practices were found to be the strongest significant predictor of the hotels’ human resource crisis management performance.Central Philippine Universit

Participants' mindfulness behavior in terms of observation, action without judgment, and non-action judgment was very good, while description and action with awareness was good. Participants’ rumination thinking in terms of obsessive thinking, symptomatic rumination, and introspective rumination was also good. Their academic performance was also good as a whole and across profile. Females have significantly higher action without judgment behavior than males, while females had a significantly higher obsessive thinking behavior than males. Juniors and Seniors had a significantly higher introspective rumination compared with Freshmen. Student leaders had significantly higher mindfulness behavior in terms of all five components: rumination thinking in terms of its three components; and had significantly higher academic performance than non-student leaders. Each of the five components of mindfulness behavior and the three components of rumination thinking were significantly related; As these components increase, academic performance also increases and vice versa. It is recommended that the university should create a supportive classroom environment that fosters open discussions and a non-judgmental atmosphere for all.Includes bibliographical referencesDoctor of Education major in Guidance and Counselin
