Get PDFAbstract onlyThis study was conducted primarily to examine the level of knowledge and extent of compliance to RA 10742 (Sangguniang Kabataan Reform Act of 2015) among SK Chairpersons in the Municipality of Cabatuan, Iloilo. It is also aimed to generate recommendation to the respective agencies in crafting guidelines/policies intended for the Sangguniang Kabataan operations for an effective, efficient, and adequate delivery of services in the community. This study further examined whether there exist a relationship between the respondent’s demographic profile and their level of knowledge, as well as their extent of compliance to RA 10742. This study is a descriptive-correlational research. The respondents of the study were the sixty eight (68) SK Chairpersons. Thus, the researcher is one of the SK Chairperson, only sixty seven (67) as the number of population target were able to participate in this study. It utilized the survey method to gather data using a researcher-constructed instrument. The data was analysed using SPSS. Mean and Frequency Distribution were used to describe the characteristics of the respondents in terms of descriptive variables. Mean difference and standard deviation were used to determine the difference between variables. Gamma tests, coefficient variation, and Pearson-r were utilized to determine the relationships between variables. The results showed that there was no relationship between level of knowledge and extent of compliance to RA 10742 among the SK Chairpersons of the municipality of Cabatuan, Iloilo. Thus it could not be the poor knowledge of the law that contributed to its low compliance. Programs and/ or projects that intend to increase knowledge of the SK Chairpersons about the SK Reform Act do not have bearing to their compliance to the administrative provisions of the law. It was recommended that another study will be conducted to explore and examine other possible causes of low compliance to the provisions of R.A. 10742 by the SKs of Cabatuan, Iloilo and how to improve it.Includes bibliographical referencesMaster in Public Administratio

Factors associated with occupational health problems among emergency department nurses in Roxas City
Get PDFAbstract onlyIn a health care facility, nurses play an important role in providing a quality service to their patients. Moreover, it is also essential that their welfare and health conditions were considered. Employees were expected that they should provide a safe environment to their nurses. Stressing the importance of a health care facility, it is believed that nurses suffering from occupational health problems would be reduced. Nurses with less health problems could contribute to the increased performance of an organization and decrease health care costs. Hence, this study sought to answer the question as regards the factors that contribute to the occupational health problems among emergency nurses in Roxas City. This study employed the quantitative method. This is a descriptive- relational research which utilized the one-shot survey design. The 20-itemself- administered questionnaires were composed of three parts: the first part of the questionnaire contains the personal characteristics of the participants in terms of their age, sex, civil status, educational attainment, and length of service. The second part covers 15-item questions about the physical, chemical, and biological hazards. The third and final part includes 5-item questions consisting of occupational health problems. The respondents would check only one answer that best applies to them. This was to determine the most common occupational health problems encountered by nurses in the emergency department. Majority of the respondents were below 30 years old, and the rest were 30 years old and above. As to the sex, almost of the emergency department nurses were male. All respondents hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. There were twenty out of fifty respondents who served as emergency department nurses for less than 2 years. Data revealed that there is a greater proportion among respondents that were moderately exposed to occupational hazards.Includes bibliographical referencesMaster of Arts in Nursin

Library strategies in the implementation of the senior high school program among private schools in Antique Province
Get PDFAbstract onlyThe recently implemented Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, also known in short as the K-12 program, was made a point of reference for this study whereby a survey was made on the strategies of how the private senior high school libraries had adopted to the trend in terms primarily of the visible aspects of library features. The area of focus was the Province of Antique, in Panay Island, Philippines. The study aimed to determine the developments in such areas as building and physical space provision and similar matters, information technology requirements, personnel, collection and financial support, endeavoring to find out also compliance with the published standards for school libraries where necessary. The one-shot survey design of the study was used for this descriptive-comparative research, whereby the same data gathering instrument was likewise used as follow-up interview guide that occasioned the ocular visit to each respondent. Data compared the status of schools ending SY 2015-16 and the latest as of first semester SY 2019-20.
The findings revealed that out of a total of 14 respondent private schools, 3 were from the most populated town of San Jose, but half of the total towns surveyed had one school each, and are mostly sectarian/diocesan schools. The most common K-12 strand offered was the HUMSS, but the TechVoc track was most popular in enrollment. The librarian or personnel in-charge were equally male and female, averaging 3-5 years tenure, but only 1 is a licensed library professional. Most libraries are shared by both junior and senior secondary school levels. Library space provision is only complied by one-third by the respondents according to the Philippine standards. Majority had the regular facilities, fixture and furniture provisions, and used permanent materials for building construction. Majority also had information technology tools, though quantity may not suffice for enrolments. Most of them grew their library collections by purchase, solicitation of donations, but in some cases certain former college holdings were reclassified as senior high school holdings. No adequate records of acquisition by K-12 strands offered could be traced as yet.
In general, strategies as far as the space provision were: adjacent library space expansions, renovation which increase floor spaces, and only one occupied a newly constructed building, while some merely re-arranged their floor plans for more efficient functions; most acquired new additional shelves and furniture, used monobloc plastic chairs to replace wooden chairs. Personnel provisions utilized part time employees of the school among other strategies, and increased library fees for support of the library. The informational technology adaptive strategies included use of wifi- routers, multi-media projectors, updating of computer OS and other computer-related functions. For some, a new software system was adopted for borrowing of collections and easy report retrieval.
With the many discovered possible suggestions for improvement which this researcher actually noted, some recommendations were offered toward a better over-all K-12 program implementation.Includes bibliographical referencesMaster in Library and Information Scienc
Design, fabrication, and evaluation of downdraft kiln for the production of lime from slipper-cupped oyster (Crassostrea iredalei, Faustino 1932) shells
Get PDFAbstract onlySlipper-cupped oyster shell contains 95% calcium carbonate and is considered as a promising source of lime in the future. This study aimed to design, fabricate, and evaluate a downdraft kiln to produce lime from Slipper-cupped oyster shells. Three kilograms of shells were calcined at 200 C for 30, 60, and 90 minutes, respectively, with 50 "C increment up to 500 °C which was the highest temperature the kiln had withstood. Calcined shells were powdered using LA Abrasion equipment for 150 seconds and the products obtained were characterized by particle size distribution using the Standard Tyler Sieve and calcium oxide content analysis conducted by the Regional Feed Laboratory. The results for particle size distribution showed that at temperature of 300 °C and residence time of 60 minutes, particle sizes smaller than 0.3 mm is 55.66 percent of the total mass
which is greater compared to other trials. The results for percent calcium oxide (CaO) showed that the optimum operating
temperature and residence time of the downdraft kiln in calcining Slipper-cupped oyster shell must be at a temperature of 400 °C and residence time of thirty (30) minutes to produce 54.726 % CaO can be considered already a very high-quality lime. Percent CaO of other trials is also greater than 50% and can also be categorized as high-quality lime.Includes bibliographical references (56-61)Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineerin
