Assessment of CO2 thermal decomposition for solid waste treatment in Badiangan, Iloilo
Full text linkAbstract onlyThis study evaluated the performance and feasibility of a CO₂ Thermal Decomposition machine as a solid waste treatment solution in Badiangan, Iloilo. Through three operational trials, the machine's efficiency was assessed based on the volume of waste processed, ash generated, fuel consumption, and labor requirements. On average, the machine processed 2,666.67 kg of municipal solid waste per trial within 7.67 hours, producing 143.5 kg of ash and consuming 8 liters of fuel. The process consistently required only three workers. The results demonstrate that the technology effectively reduces waste volume, particularly residuals and plastics, and may serve as an alternative to traditional landfill methods for small municipalities. However, concerns were identified regarding environmental safety, including the lack of air quality monitoring, and the absence of a long-term ash management system. Despite these limitations, the machine remains a promising tool for waste volume reduction, especially in resource-limited settings. Recommendations include facility relocation, installation of air quality monitoring systems, implementation of emission control technologies, and improved health and safety practices for workers. These interventions aim to optimize operational efficiency while ensuring environmental and public health protection.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Environmental Managemen

Eating habits, sleep duration, and nutritional status among children in a selected Barangay in Iloilo
No full textAbstract onlyThis study, which aimed to determine the eating habits, sleep duration, and nutritional status among children in a selected barangay in Iloilo, utilized the descriptive correlational research design. The respondents in the study were 209 children who were randomly selected from a total population of 437 children. The stratified random sampling was used to ensure fair and proportional representation across different age groups. The total consisted of children from seven different age groups. Researcher made validated questionnaires for reliability and accuracy were used in data gathering. The data was gathered face-to-face. Descriptive statistics were enlisted as frequency, mean, and percentage. Inferential statistics from the data were obtained using Spearman’s rho at a 0.05 level of significance. The results revealed that the children studied had poor eating habits, a sleep duration of less than nine hours, and were underweight based on their Body Mass Index (BMI). This implies a link between children's eating habits—characterized by poor food choices and eating practices—their sleep duration, which indicates insufficient rest, and their nutritional status, which falls under the underweight category. The findings indicate that the children's eating habits influenced their nutritional status, while their sleep duration also had a bearing on it.Includes bibliographical referenceBachelor of Science in Nursin
Morphological characterization and pH analysis of microorganisms from the chicken meat in selected markets of Jaro, Iloilo City
No full textAbstract onlyPoultry and livestock industries were prime contributors to agricultural outputs, which correlates with the growth of the human population. While poultry is an important protein source that provides job opportunities and additional livelihood, microbial contamination poses a constant threat to the safety and quality of chicken products sold in a few market sources, from local to international markets around the world. This study investigates the morphological characterization of microorganisms present on chicken meat sold in various areas in Jaro, Iloilo City. The study's findings reveal the presence of various species of microorganisms that can harm consumers' health and overall wellbeing. This study also emphasizes the importance of meat pH as an indication that presents the hastening spoilage rate of the meat with the presence of alkaline-loving bacteria that affect the chemical composition of the meat in the long run. The researcher suggests a need for a thorough evaluation, and a series of biochemical tests must be added to identify the microorganism properly. The study promotes awareness of the crucial role of proper handling of meat products, sanitation practices and improved preservation procedures are also a must. Investing in these kinds of studies is not only recommended; hence, it is vital.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Agricultur
Factors influencing the development of Sari-Sari stores among selected towns of Iloilo
No full textAbstract onlyThe study examines multiple factors which shape sari-sari store progress in selected towns within Iloilo City. Non-probability sampling identified 100 sari-sari store owners so researchers selected participants at random from within this group. A researcher-designed face-to-face survey questionnaire collected data to identify critical and non-critical factors influencing the growth and sustainability of small retail businesses. The research period spanned from January 23 2025 to April 2025 during which time the authors produced research material, gathered data, executed analysis phases and delivered results.
A quantitative survey research design analysis was implemented to investigate which predefined variables most effectively influenced sari-sari store development. Results showed owner age between 21 to 50 years had no meaningful effect on store development because this population falls within their productive years as entrepreneurs. The study discovered revenue had limited influence across all age groups except for older store owners above age 51. Store owners who were 51 years or older viewed revenue as a moderately important indicator for their store development. According to research findings customer presence alongside their actions showed minimal influence on retailers from every age group.
Research findings indicate that employee factors became a primary driver behind sari-sari stores' expansion particularly among store owners between 18 and 20 years old who assigned the strongest weight to employee influence. The results showed investment capacity stood as a key factor because younger owners (aged 18–20) evaluated it as strongly important but older owners viewed it as moderately important.
This research deepens Philippine micro-enterprise development knowledge by studying age-based business growth perceptions which help create targeted programs for small-scale businesses.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Business Administration major in Business Managemen

Full text linkFull text availableThis study aimed to determine the economic and environmental status of spring tourism in San Enrique, Iloilo, and Anini-y, Antique. A comparative analysis, which explores how each destination balances tourism development with sustainability practices, utilized the descriptive-comparative research design. The respondents in the study were 200 individuals from the population of Anini-y, Antique, and San Enrique, Iloilo. Anini-y's programs were well-received but needed improvement, while San Enrique's sustainability practices showed mixed effectiveness. Both resorts could have greatly benefited from focusing more on renewable energy and raising awareness about sustainability to better address both environmental and social needs. In Anini-y, Antique, spring tourism played a major role in creating jobs and providing steady income for local residents. Meanwhile, in San Enrique, Iloilo, the spring resort helped spark new business opportunities, boosting the local economy and supporting the community. However, Anini-y’s economic efforts had a stronger impact on its community compared to San Enrique. From our perspective as researchers, Anini-y stood out for its sustainable and effective approach to tourism, clearly shown through its success in generating jobs, increasing revenue, and ensuring fair income distribution. While both Anini-y and San Enrique had environmental policies in place to support sustainable tourism, Anini-y’s higher performance reflected its strong leadership in environmental management. San Enrique, on the other hand, still had opportunities to strengthen its environmental strategies.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Tourism Managemen
Knowledge and attitude towards dietary supplement utilization among middle-aged adults in a selected Barangay in Iloilo
No full textAbstract onlyThis study aimed to determine knowledge and attitude towards dietary supplement utilization among middle-aged adults in a selected barangay in Iloilo. It utilized a descriptive-correlational design and a census approach, involving all middle-aged adults (40–60 years old) in a selected barangay. Data were obtained from 174 respondents using a 33-item researcher-made questionnaire that underwent content validation. Descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, summarized respondent characteristics, while inferential statistics, such as Spearman’s rho and Cramér’s V, analyzed relationships between variables. Findings revealed that most respondents understood dietary supplements but had misconceptions, such as overestimating Vitamin C’s role in illness prevention. Attitudes were positive, viewing supplements as additions, not replacements. Vitamins were the most commonly used supplements, though many consumed them without consulting healthcare providers. A very strong relationship was found between higher knowledge and frequent supplement use (Spearman’s rho = .762, p = .000), and a strong association between positive attitudes and regular use (Cramér’s V = .406, p = .000). Hence, knowledge and attitude significantly influence dietary supplement utilization.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Nursin
Robust control strategy for intelligent connected electric vehicles facing cybersecurity threats
No full textJournal articleThis study investigates robust control strategies for Intelligent Connected Electric Vehicles (ICEVs) under cybersecurity threats, with the objective of enhancing both operational safety and energy efficiency in electrified vehicular systems. The proposed framework integrates three key innovations: (1) A hierarchical control architecture combining H ∞ robust control for actuator-level resilience with adaptive Kalman filter to mitigate sensor anomalies caused by cyberattacks; (2) An energy-aware distributed control algorithm that optimizes torque distribution in heterogeneous platoons while maintaining cybersecurity constraints; (3) A novel pre-post filter mechanism for safety-critical systems that provides additional protection layers against false data injection and ECU intrusions. This study combines H ∞ control with blockchain verification for the first time to solve the problem of dynamic delay attacks in V2X communication, and proposes a distributed collaborative control architecture to address the coupling problem between malicious node identification and energy allocation in heterogeneous fleets. The response speed is 40% faster than centralized control. Experimental validation demonstrates significant improvements: Cybersecurity performance 18.7% higher penetration test scores compared to conventional systems. Energy efficiency 12.2% reduction in energy consumption for electric vehicles in mixed platoons through coordinated control. Control robustness Maintains 98.3% trajectory tracking accuracy under simulated GNSS spoofing attacks. The results establish that the proposed strategy simultaneously addresses cybersecurity vulnerabilities and operational optimization in ICEVs, providing a unified solution for next-generation vehicle safety and sustainability
Students' learning attitude and classroom performance as influenced by teachers' behavior: Bases for an intervention plan
Full text linkAbstract onlyThis study aimed to examine the influence of teachers' behavior on students’ learning attitude and classroom performance which served as the basis for the development of an intervention plan. A total of 160 purposively selected second-year students from Business English and International Logistics Management majors participated in the study. Using a validated and pilot-tested researcher-made online questionnaire, data were collected on student demographics, perceptions of teacher behavior, learning attitudes, and academic performance. The study employed a survey-correlational design, with data analyzed using descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests at a significance level of α = 0.05. Findings revealed that students generally perceived their teachers’ classroom behavior as moderate and their own learning attitudes and academic performance as moderately good. No statistically significant differences were observed in these perceptions across sex, major, place of origin, or family income. However, moderate positive correlations were found between teachers’ behavior, students’ learning attitudes, and perceived academic performance. These results highlight the importance of positive teacher behaviors in shaping student engagement and outcomes. Based on these findings, an intervention plan was developed, focusing on teacher professional development, student support mechanisms, and the promotion of inclusive, emotionally supportive classroom environment.Includes bibliographical referencesDoctor of Education (Guidance and Counseling
Lived experiences of newly licensed nurses transitioning from online skills enhancement to professional practice at a private hospital
Full text linkAbstract onlyThis qualitative research explored the lived experiences of newly licensed nurses transitioning from online skills enhancement to professional practice at a private hospital in Iloilo City. Using a descriptive phenomenological approach and Colaizzi’s method of data analysis, the study gathered insights from nine participants through in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Findings revealed three (3) major themes: (1) emerging patterns of struggle and adaptation, (2) the role of technology and simulations in bridging theoretical and practical gaps, and (3) the importance of mentorship and support systems in career progression. The transition from online learning to clinical practice has been overwhelming, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants faced a sharp contrast between theoretical knowledge and the unpredictable, high-pressure nature of clinical settings. Despite these obstacles, their progression toward competence and confidence was characterized by resilience, strong mentorship, and supportive systems. Participants emphasized the significance of professional and personal networks—in helping them adapt to the demands of nursing practice and maintain their mental well-being. This study found that effectively preparing the next generation of nurses requires nursing curricula must include hands-on training and advanced simulations, while healthcare organizations should offer structured mentorship and mental health support. The study findings contribute to the broader discourse on how nursing education and clinical practice can evolve and adapt to meet the ever-changing demands of the healthcare system as a whole.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Nursin
