Species Listing And Seasonality Of Macrofungi In The Campus Of Isabela State University, Philippines
Get PDFMacrofungi are important decomposers abundant in forested areas around the world. However, its diversity and seasonality are poorly known in the Philippines. Isabela province is located at the northern part of the Philippines. It is mainly part of the Cagayan Valley region which has wide varieties of living organisms due to its climatical and geographical conditions. Among universities and local colleges in the province, Isabela State University, particularly the Echague Campus (ISU-E), caters the vast agricultural and forest land. This research aimed to enlist the macrofungal species and their seasonality in the campus of ISU-E. Lists of macrofungal species were compared between dry seasons (March-August 2020) and wet season (September 2020 – February 2021). Macrofungal samples were characterized and identified based on their morphology. A total of 31 species belonged to 15 families and 20 genera during the dry season, while 43 species were collected and identified to 19 families and 32 genera during the wet season. The family Polyporaceae had the highest number of species during both seasons. The present study is the first to record the list of macroscopic fungi present in Isabela State University as affected by the change of seasons
ANG HABI NG HININGA AT IBA PANG TULA
Get PDFMarso 2020, nagbago ang buong mundo. Dumating ang pandemya ng Covid. Walang nakapaghanda. Marami ang di makapaniwala at sinubukan pa ring paikutin ang mundo nang normal at magtrabaho o mag-aral pero lahat ay walang nagawa. Lockdown. Bawal lumabas. Bawal maglaro. Bawal makipag-date. Bawal humawak. Di mabilang ang ipinagbawal. Siguro kung pwede lang ipagbawal ng gobyerno ang paghinga eh ginawa rin. Pero kung titingnan ang mga nangyari noong pandemya ay para na ring ipinagbawal ang paghinga. Dahil kung susumahin ay makikitang marami sa mga naging hakbang ng gobyerno ay saliwa sa maayos na pamamahala. Di malaman kung lockdown ba o hindi lockdown. Di malaman kung sino ang pwedeng lumabas. Di malaman kung ilang pulgada ba ang dapat maging distansya sa isa’t-isa sa loob ng mga pasilidad at mga sasakyan. Di malaman kung saan tatakbong ospital kapag tinamaan ng sakit. Di malaman kung mapaglalamayan man lang ba ang mga namatay na mga mahal sa buhay. Lahat ay inutusang mamalagi sa bahay at magkulong

Filipinos’ Framed Faces: Comparative Study of the Filipino Stereotypes as Perceived by the Cebuano and Waray Students of an Agricultural State Universityin Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines
Get PDFVisayas State University (VSU) is a leading agricultural state university in Eastern Visayas region of the Philippines. It is a multi-ethnic and multicultural institution where most of its student population belongs to two major ethnolinguistic groups, namely the Cebuano and Waray. This paper is a comparative study of the perception of these two ethnolinguistic groups about Filipino stereotypes using the modified Katz and Braly (1933) trait checklist. With the purpose of providing baseline data for ethnolinguistic stereotypes of a melting-pot institution in this specific region in the Philippines, the researchers hope that this study will eventually help build a more united population of VSU, citizens of the City of Baybay, and those living in the Province of Leyte (Toring et al., 2019). The ultimate aim of this paper is to preliminarily present some dimensions of ethnolinguistic stereotypes of Cebuano and Waray Leyteños, not in a sense of exposing the respondents or the University to social discrimination, but to suggest some aspects which can help cultural studies scholars and local studies centers in discerning the dynamics among the said ethnolinguistic groups. This paper is also significant in giving a benchmark paper that can be useful to other multicultural institutions and locations in the Philippines. This research sheds light on how students in the peripheral region of the archipelago participate in the crafting of the “Filipino” identity.
Correlates of Fast Food Consumption to Obesity: The Case of Bulacan State University Students
Get PDFThe wide spread of fast-food and unhealthy food can contribute to the rising of overweight adolescence Filipinos. The World Health Organization (WHO) is now working with the country’s National Nutrition Council (NNC) for the development of an action plan against obesity. This study examined the correlation of fast food consumption to obesity: the case of Bulacan State University. Specifically, this study investigated the fast food eating habits, types of meals usually eaten, factors that lead to obesity, and the relationship of fast food consumption to obesity. This study hypothesized that the fast food eating habits have significant relationship to obesity. The researcher selected 352 purposively selected (based on body size perception) overweight respondents and a survey questionnaire was personally administered to them. The respondents’ characteristics were described with the use of Body Mass Index (BMI), frequency and percentage distribution, mean, standard deviation. Correlation was used to analyze the data. Most of the respondents are 18 years old, female, with one hundred pesos above for their food allowance. The body mass index showed that some of the overweight respondents are not obese. The findings of this study indicated that there is no correlation between eating habits and factors leading to obesity. However, there is a correlation on daily exercise, genetic susceptibility, and emotional state. There is no significant relationship between fast food consumption and obesity.
String Efficiency Analysis of 132-kV High Suspension Insulators Using 2D Finite Element Method Magnetics
Get PDFSuspension insulator is needed to prevent leakage current flow to earth through the support tower in high voltage transmission. However, the potential distribution and electric field across each insulator in a string is non-uniform, which causes flash over and excessive heat that shortens the lifespan of the insulators and lowers string efficiency. The potential difference at the bottom unit is inversely proportional to string efficiency. A higher string efficiency, which can be attained using capacitance grading, assures a longer lifespan of the insulator. The purpose of this paper is to study the voltage distribution and string efficiency of a 12-disc glass suspension insulator (model LXWP4-70) at 132 kV using 2D Finite Element Method Magnetics (2D FEMM) software with and without capacitance grading method. The 2D FEMM was used to determine the potential distribution as well as the static capacitance of each string insulator and to calculate the string efficiency. One of the string insulator disc dimensions was measured at the High Voltage Lab of the University Malaya. The results showed that the string efficiency has improved from 64% to 76% due to capacitance grading
Reporma Sa Pera: Ilang Pagmumuni-Muni Sa Utang, Stock Market, At Kapitalismo
Get PDFBinubuo ang sanaysay na ito ng mabusising pagbabasa ng antolohiyang Democratizing Finance, at maikling pagninilay sa pelikulang Sid and Aya. Sa papel, gagalugarin ang kalikasan ng pera, at ang mga maaaring ipatupad na reporma para gawing demokratiko ang akses sa yaman. Susubukan ding magpaliwanag ng ilang terminong may kinalaman sa ekonomiya, stock market, at investment. Sa komprontasyon ng kilusang manggagawa at kapitalismo, hindi maikakaila ang sentral na papel ng pera (kailangang tandaan na ang pera ay hindi kapital, at ang kapital ay hindi simpleng pera). Kailangang mas maintindihan ng ordinaryong Filipino, manggagawa man o hindi, ang pera, lalo na at sa kasakuyang orden ay tila ba lagi siyang kapos na kapos nito
BETSINGKO ATBP.
No full textSa una’y nakakapagod, muntik ko na rin sukuan dahil sa init. Nakakawala ng ulirat kapag nalalaspag na ang mga binti at pagbuhos ng pawis kakapadyak. Pero kalauna’y nasanay rin naman. Pagod na may kaakibat na saya. Tsaka ‘to napal’tan ng lukso-luksong pagpapahalaga sa mga tanawing nakikita kahit na mga building at puno lang naman ang nakikita ko dahil nga nasa lungsod lang ako namimisikleta. Nakaranas rin ako ng mga kamote sa mga kalsada o mga panggugulang o ang hindi pagbibigayan sa daan. Nagkakaroon ako ng kamalayan dahil kailangan sa kalsada. Tsaka ko nakita panandalian ang mga nahihinuha ko sa daan. At mas lalong umigting ito nang hatinggabi o gabi ako namimisikleta. Mas taimtim at rinig ko ang mga boses na hindi pangkaraniwang naririnig at nasasapawan ng ingay kapag rush hour, umaga, o katanghalian. Dahil na rin siguro gusto ko ng kapayapaan kahit na alam kong panandalian ko lang siya makakamit sa hatinggabing pamimisikleta
Experiences of suicide ideation and attempts among Filipino students: Prevalence, reasons, and help-seeking behavior
Get PDFThis study sought to determine the prevalence of suicide ideation and attempts among Filipino undergraduate students before and during the pandemic. It also sought to determine the reasons as well as the help seeking behavior of the aforesaid students and find out if there are significant relationships between their socio-economic characteristics and their suicide-related behaviors. Data were obtained through a survey questionnaire (n=308) and were analyzed through descriptive statistics and Spearman Rho correlational tests. Findings showed that majority of the respondents have thought or made plans about suicide at least once. Meanwhile, 2 out of every 10 respondents coming from a predominantly richer university has attempted suicide while 4 out of every 10 from a predominantly poorer university did the same. Most of the suicide ideators thought of suicide before and during the pandemic while suicide attempts were more common before the pandemic. Most of those who experienced suicide ideation and/or attempts did not seek any form of help during the ordeal and, for those who did, the help was sought from friends instead of mental health professionals and suicide hotlines. The study also found that family problems were the most common reason for suicide before the pandemic and academic problems were the most common during the pandemic, albeit there was an observed rise in suicide ideations and/or attempts due to financial problems as well. Finally, correlational tests found that males, the religious, and the rich tend to engage in less suicide-related behaviors while the opposite was observed among LGBT student
Modelo ng Pagdadala: Lapit at Gamit (Burden Bearing Model: Approach and Application)
Get PDFThis paper has the objective of exploring the appropriate and right approach and application of the Pagdadala Model of Dr. Edwin T. Decenteceo (1997, 1999) in the field of Filipino Psychology. Using Thematic Analysis, the researcher features highlighted themes from not more than twenty-seven articles based on different experiences, researches, and books. The seven highlighted themes are the following: (1) Application on Clinical Psychology; (2) Approach on Clinical Psychology; (3) Application and Approach on Industrial Psychology; (4) Application and Approach on Educational Psychology; (5) Application and Approach on Community; (6) Application on Psychological First Aid (PFA); and (7) Approach on Spirituality. The Pagdadala Model can be developed because this is based on the experiences of Filipinos and every individual has their own story of burden-bearing.
