Fish attracting device
Get PDFSpecial paper abstractFishing is important to the Philippine industry. The people of the country are highly dependent in this livelihood. According to the statistics, there are about 1.6 million Filipinos who are part of the country’s fishing industry. 85% of those are comprised by municipal fisheries sector, followed by aquaculture which comprises the 14% and 1% are from commercial fishing. In recent years, there is a noticeable trending decline on the production of fish in the country and municipal fishermen is most affected by this trend as time goes on. This study aimed to develop a device which attracts fish by using the study of sound waves and LED lights. This device is sought to decrease the wait time and indicate if there are fishes around. This can be used by municipal fisheries sector as well as recreational fishers and also by aquaculture sector. This device revolves around the principles of sound wave which is produced by multi-vibrators, and principles of light. The device exhibited great results and performed according to its specifications. The general and specific objectives were met and the overall system showed normal operation and the data gathered also conformed the design criteria.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Electronics Engineerin
Factors affecting the performance of Sangguniang Kabataan based on RA 10742 in the Municipality of Janiuay, Iloilo
Get PDFAbstract onlyThis study was conducted primarily to determine the factors affecting the performance of the elected Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) in Janiuay, Iloilo, a town in Western Visayas, based on Republic Act (RtractA) 10742, the SK Reform Law of 2015, the current governing law of the local youth organization. Using descriptive-correlational research, employing a researcher-made questionnaire for data gathering, 47 respondents were included in this study. The results showed that the SK in Janiuay had a low level of performance. The findings indicated that the respondents were mostly single adults, and who were college graduate. Most of them received an adequate amount of honorarium, and majority of barangays, classified as rural, were allocated a moderate annual budget. This budget size depends on multiple factors, particularly the general fund of the barangay. They were also highly supported by the organization. This study resulted in the conclusion that as a factor in the performance of the SK, only age had a strong relationship with it, which indicates that the new law was correct in increasing the age bracket. Hence, there were other intrinsic factors which contributed to the low performance, such as lack of creativity or innovation. Thus, it is recommended that the SK foster a sense of creativity and resourcefulness in coming up with projects and programs. A deeper understanding of the inherent factors of the individual youth in community participation may be the critical next step in progressing SK as a mechanism for national development.Includes bibliographical referencesMaster in Public Administratio

No full textAbstract onlyNatural disasters can appear quite suddenly which brings wide-ranging consequences for the people of the affected area. The impacts of such calamities are often dramatically worse in developing countries, like the Philippines. One of the high-risk municipalities is Concepcion, Iloilo. The Municipality of Concepcion is graphically located in the Northern Iloilo which is prone to storm, flood, earthquake, tsunami, and landslide. Because of these, as such, the municipality needs to adopt disaster risk reduction and management; and climate change adaptation and increases in levels of vulnerability especially in areas affected by internal disputes. To effectively reduce losses to human lives, information, natural resources, and other assets in the municipality, the idea of constructing a disaster risk reduction and management building was proposed. The proposed building is a two-storey structure that has a lot area of 160 square meters. It includes different management rooms and accommodation for 24/7 on duty responders. Also, it has a 70-person capacity conference room. This building is made of reinforced concrete, designed using USD method and loads referred from NSCP 2010. Included are the detailed cost estimates and bill of materials, and the Critical Path Methods (CPM) diagram for construction. The proposed structure is self-sufficient because it can function normally in times of blackout and other unprecedented interruptions and calamities. Solar panels are integrated into the structure that will serve as a source of electricity. The construction of the proposed structure has a deviation estimated cost of 11,000,000 PHP, between the local government of Concepcion and private sectors.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Civil Engineerin

The efficacy of different botanicals against rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae L.)
Get PDFAbstract onlyThis study was conducted at Central Philippine University, Jaro, Iloilo City from November 12, 2019 to December 2, 2019. The objective of the study was to determine the percent rice grain weight loss, percent mortality and percent survival of rice weevils. The study utilized the same amount (20 g) of dried leaves of botanicals namely: hagonoy (Chromolaena odorata L.), guava (Psidium guajava L.), madre de cacao (Gliricidia sepium Jacq. Steud.), alagau ( Premna odorata Blanco), lantana (Lantana camara L.), lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus DC. Stapf,) and citronella (Cymbopogon nardus L. Rendle) against rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae L.). Fifty grams of rice grains without dried leaves of botanicals served as negative control. The treatments were laid out in a completely randomized design with three replications. Ten rice weevils (5 males : 5 females) placed in each plastic containers, containing 50 g of rice grains with corresponding treatments and kept at room temperature for 20 days. The percent rice grain weight loss, mortality, and survival of rice weevils was recorded for one-week at one- day interval with the final observation taken at day 19. The result of the study revealed that Alagau had the highest rice weevil mortality of (30 to 66.66 %) at 1 DAI to 5 DAI while on the 7 DAI and 19 DAI, all the botanicals showed 80 to 100% mortality on rice weevils. Consequently, there is a reverse relationship between the mortality and survival. Meanwhile, the percent grain weight loss of all grains with botanicals were lower compared with those of the untreated grains. The use of the botanicals had showed a potential in the control of rice weevils in storage, supported by the decreased survival of the weevils as the mortality increased.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Agricultur

Solar powered compressor type aerator with smart monitoring system
Get PDFAbstract onlyBeing a country with a geography containing 7,107 islands made the Philippines value aquaculture towards growth and prosperity. Low dissolved oxygen levels, algal blooms, as well as off-limit temperatures and pH concentrations, have killed potential harvests that might have benefitted the local farmers. Thus, many inventions and innovations were created to mitigate these problems, and one of them is called an aerator. However, operational cost and unavailability of grid electricity to aerators have added burden to aquaculture production. The Solar Powered Compressor Type Aerator with Smart Monitoring System is made up of a compressor type aerator that is powered by pure renewable solar energy and a battery bank capable of 1-day autonomy. In addition, it has sensors such as Dissolved oxygen sensor, temperature sensor and pH sensors, Arduino Uno that collects data and make decisions based on the data given, and a mobile application that can control the device and monitor the data remotely using Bluetooth technology. Two pairs of red and green LED lights indicate visual alarms which are especially useful if mobile app notification is out of range. 4 PVC floaters with 6-inch diameter are used to make a 1m by 1m raft to keep the device afloat. The device was able to automatically maintain the range of acceptable D.O. level in the water within approximate radius of 6.5m. The device has an ingress protection of IP44. Through the use of the device, the local fish farmers may have smart control, smart monitoring and management of their business without compromising profit.Includes bibliographic referencesBachelor of Science in Electrical Engineerin
