No full textEvaluation of correctional facility-initiated social reintegration programs within Cavite
No full textThe study intends to evaluate the perceptions of program providers regarding correctional facility-initiated social reintegration programs within Cavite. Specifically, it explored the types, frequency and perceived benefits of these programs where improvements will be determined by gathering subjective information from program providers, and identifying possible solutions by benchmarking the effective practices outside of the Philippines which integrates Occupational Therapy in correctional facilities in supporting reintegration and reducing recidivism. A qualitative phenomenological approach was used to explore the experiences of program providers involved in social reintegration programs for Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) in selected BJMP facilities within Cavite, Philippines. Services examined included livelihood training, education, spiritual guidance, and therapeutic interventions. Using convenience and purposive sampling, data were gathered through focus group discussions guided by a validated questionnaire matrix. Transcriptions were analyzed using Colaizzi to identify key codes and themes. Findings showed that program providers valued reintegration programs for enhancing PDLs’ life skills, confidence, and social participation. However, systemic challenges such as inadequate staffing, lack of individualized interventions, and limited resources were noted. Compared to global models, the absence of occupational therapy limited rehabilitation. Strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly through occupational therapy integration, could improve program effectiveness, reduce recidivism, and support sustainable reintegration of PDLs
The effects of types of screen time on the social skills of children with autism spectrum disorder ages 6-11 in Cavite
No full textThis study determined the relationship between screen time types and social skills, the most common screen time types, weekdays and weekends usage differences, and social skills level among Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder (CWASD). Utilizing a descriptive correlational design, the researchers collected data from 31 caregivers of CWASD in Cavite who are currently receiving occupational therapy services from licensed occupational therapists in Cavite clinics and centers through an expert-validated survey questionnaire. Results were then analyzed with a statistician’s assistance. The outcome included the four types of screen time: passive, interactive, social, and educational. Seven social skills domains, such as communication, cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy, engagement, and self-control, were also explored. Results revealed that among the types of screen time, passive screen time was most common, while educational screen time was least used. However, no significant difference was found in screen time between weekdays and weekends. In terms of behavior level, communication ranked highest among social skills, while responsibility was the lowest. Most screen time types revealed a weak or negligible relationship to social skills, but interactive screen time showed a positive, moderate association with cooperation and empathy. These results highlighted the need for caregivers to manage and regulate screen time exposure and promote more developmentally beneficial content to enhance the social developmental outcomes of CWASD
Characterization and antimicrobial efficacy of semi-purified Cymbopogon citratus (lemongrass) extracts: targeting Carbapenem-resistant klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP)
No full textConventional PCR-based molecular detection of the mecA gene in methicillin – resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from selected tricycles in the City of Dasmariñas Cavite, Philippines
No full textPublic transportation is a critical space for human interactions across diverse populations and socioeconomic backgrounds, making it a significant medium for transmitting pathogens such as MRSA. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a significant public health concern globally. It is a major cause of nosocomial infections and is increasingly linked to community-acquired infections. By utilizing Conventional Polymerase Chain Reaction, the researchers explored the presence of the mecA gene, a gene unique in MRSA, in public utility vehicles, specifically tricycles, in Dasmarinas City, Cavite. The researchers included Culturing and Isolation, DNA Extraction, Gel Electrophoresis, and Conventional PCR in their methodology to detect the presence of the mecA gene. Based on the results, the researchers found that Staphylococcus aureus is present in tricycles located in Dasmarinas City, Cavite. In addition, the researchers noted the presence of the mecA gene, which indicates the presence of MRSA among the samples that tested positive for Staphylococcus aureus
Detection of Acanthamoeba spp. in Tala River, Cavite Province
No full textAcanthamoeba spp. are free-living amoebae widely distributed in natural environments such as soil and water. Although typically non-pathogenic, they are capable of causing severe infections, particularly in immunosuppressed individuals. This study aimed to detect the presence of Acanthamoeba spp. in Tala River, located in Cavite Province using both culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. Water samples were collected from multiple points along the river and were subjected to filtration and cultivation on non-nutrient agar overlaid with E. coli suspension. Cultured plates were monitored microscopically for characteristic trophozoites and cysts. DNA was extracted from positive cultures and amplified using PCR targeting the gene specific to Acanthamoeba spp. Phenotypically, the microscopic evaluation resulted in 19 out of 30 cultured water samples positive for amoebic growth and were observed to exhibit the morphology of Acanthamoeba spp. During molecular analysis, all isolates subjected to PCR yielded negative findings. Technical concerns and difficulty may have interfered with PCR results leading to failure in conforming microscopic and molecular results. This study highlights the importance of routine environmental monitoring and public health awareness regarding amoebic microorganisms in natural water sources. Further research is recommended to broaden species identification, virulence potential, and possible mitigation strategies
Analysis of the chemical components of Corchorus olitorius (Saluyot) L. ethanolic extract and its in vitro anthelmintic phytochemical properties against Ascaris suum adult worms
No full textSoil-transmitted helminths (STH) remain a major public health concern, with Ascaris infections being among the most prevalent. Due to emerging resistance to standard anthelmintic drugs, this study explored the in vitro anthelmintic potential of Corchorus olitorius (Saluyot) ethanolic leaf extract against Ascaris suum adult worms, a surrogate model for A. lumbricoides. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. Worms were exposed to three extract concentrations (25 mg/mL, 37.5 mg/mL, and 50 mg/mL), and mortality was observed over 72 hours. While no statistically significant differences were found between treatment groups (p \u3e 0.05), the 50 mg/mL concentration consistently showed the highest mortality rate, comparable to Mebendazole (p = 0.160). These results suggest that C. olitorius has promising anthelmintic activity and potential as an accessible alternative therapy. Further studies using higher concentrations, quantitative phytochemical analysis, and more replicates are recommended to validate and expand upon these finding
