    Investigating the co-occurrence of candida spp. and Escherichia coli in Kadiwa river wastewater: implications for water quality and public health

    No full text
    This study investigated the co-occurrence of Candida spp. and Escherichia coli in wastewater from the Kadiwa River in Dasmariñas, Cavite, to explore potential implications for water quality and public health. A total of 27 samples were collected from upstream, midstream, and downstream points and analyzed using membrane filtration, culture methods, and biochemical testing. Candida spp. were identified through germ tube testing and carbohydrate fermentation, while E. coli was detected using MacConkey and EMB agar, followed by confirmatory biochemical tests. Several non-Candida albicans species were isolated, including C. glabrata, C. tropicalis, C. kefyr, C. lusitaniae, and C. krusei, with notable variation across the sampling sites. While both non-Candida albicans spp. and E. coli were frequently found in the same samples, statistical analysis did not show a significant correlation between their presence. This suggests that, despite their coexistence in the same environment, there is no strong evidence to support a positive co-occurrence between the two. The findings highlight the complex nature of microbial interactions in wastewater and underscore the importance of monitoring multiple indicators when assessing environmental and public health risks. The study calls attention to the need for improved sanitation practices and sustained water quality surveillance to mitigate potential threats from microbial contaminants

    A phenomenological study on becoming an adult with autism: challenges, perceptions, and approaches from primary caregivers in Cavite, Philippines

    This study aimed to identify the perspectives and approaches of primary caregivers towards the identified transitional challenges of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) from adolescence and adulthood in Cavite. A descriptive phenomenological research design was used to determine the challenges during the transition of individuals with ASD toward adulthood through the primary caregivers\u27 perspective, while also describing their approaches and perceptions. Convenience and snowball sampling were used to gather necessary respondents for the study due to the limited and registered young adult population of ASD. Primary caregivers were interviewed using a validated research instrument after formal invitation and consent collection. The Colaizzi method was employed to analyze and describe the data through the emergence of main themes and theme clusters. Social Interaction Challenges, Emotional Regulation Challenges, Functional Independence Challenges, Systemic Inclusion Challenges, and Higher Cognitive Challenges were the five main challenges found during the transition. Primary caregivers also shared their perceptions of these challenges, highlighting the Social Pressure towards Care Recipients, the Personal Development of Caregivers, the Positive Growth of Care Recipients, and the Emotional Burden of Caregiving. In response to these challenges, primary caregivers used four main approaches, which were Supportive Assistive Techniques, Provision of Empathetic and Patient Care, Proactive Strategies for Behavioral Management, and Utilization of Institutional Services. This showed that the transition from adolescence to adulthood for individuals with ASD was challenging, with approaches and perceptions of primary caregivers varying from one another depending on their personal beliefs, available resources, and their environmental contexts

    Caregiving approaches and their effects on work behaviors in children ages two to five years old with digital fixation in Cavite

    The study investigated the effects of caregiving approaches on the work behaviors of digitally fixated children aged two to five years old in Cavite, Philippines. This paper examined how different caregiving approaches such as restricted, unrestricted, and with supervision influence a digitally fixated child’s work behaviors, specifically their attention, concentration, frustration tolerance, and impulse control. The study also contributed a novel caregiver approach classification tool developed and validated specifically for the Philippine context. A descriptive correlational quantitative design was employed to explain the relationship between the caregiving approaches employed by the caregiver and the child\u27s work behaviors. Participants selected through purposive and convenience sampling were a caregiver-child dyad. All 75 participants completed a researcher-developed tool that determines their caregiving approach and rated their child\u27s work behaviors using adapted instruments tailored to each domain. Descriptive statistics showed that a restricted caregiving approach was the most prevalent, secondary to supervised, then unrestricted, whereas caregiver-reported data implied an average quality of work behaviors. Spearman\u27s Rank Correlation denoted a very weak but positive correlation, which had no statistically meaningful association between the caregiving approaches and work behaviors. Kruskal-Wallis H Test revealed significant differences in children\u27s work behaviors among the employed caregiving approaches. Dunn\u27s post hoc test further solidified the claims as it confirmed that the restricted approach showed higher levels of work behaviors in contrast to the supervised and unrestricted approach. These findings suggest that restrictive enforcement of digital use may have a positively significant effect on digitally fixated children\u27s specific work behaviors
